I liked "A Labour source said: “Let’s be clear, there is no way Anas makes this big and wrong call without sign off from Douglas Alexander, a member of Keir’s cabinet and co-chair of the Scottish Labour 2026 campaign, and Kate Watson, his chief of staff and a UK Labour employee." Sarwar to be pushed into abandoning the people who advised him, after failing to oust person who just dumped the person who advised him. It's another reminder that none of these people have a principal, unless it's been advised upon that now's a good time to pretend to have one. Humza Yousaf also got sign off from SNP in London over his break from the swivel-eyed Greens. He found himself hung out to dry too. I also smiled at anything Sarwar does as "incendiary" The big mystery is where are all the Tunnock's Teacakes that should be in the picture? Scoffed before it was taken? Or as an early snub to Starmer?

We'll always have the Guardian. 🙂

Bravely trying to free us from conventional economic thinking, only to be brought down by vested interests, the deep state and a lettuce. 🙂

The perfect name for a right wing children's TV show. "Hi kids! Welcome to Tufton St! Today we teach young Amir that he's not really one of the other kids on Tufton St, while laughing at our pal Fiona, who wants to run things. What a silly girl "

Getting into the world cup squad. 🙂 (former u-21 after all)

said curling fan, Mr Shipperley to the court.

Sarwar has brought everyone out to make their position known. Until that by election. Chris Mason of the beeb, called Sarwar's decision one of "colossal significance." At the same time most people wondered who Sarwar was. When Sarwar said the people of Scotland are "crying out for a competent government," I thought he was going to resign. Just on the off chance of them doing something against the SNP. A SNP mired so much in scandal, and uselessness, that any half decent leader would make inroads. Except, when Starmer's labour got elected by saying nothing, Sarwar kept it going. A moan at the SNP, but with no weight of his own. The only party making in roads is Reform, much to their own surprise. But Sarwar has finally done something. Given Starmer a bit of breathing space, as the cabinet have come out to support him: Powell, Streeting, Rayner, Cooper, Lammy, Mahmood and others. Even if it's open revolt by the PLP when Starmer has his chat, they have no one to back as an alternative. Leaving Sarwar wondering if his own e-mails with "old friend" Mandelson might come out.

"That's why I read Truth Social." 🙂

Well, if anyone knows about being utterly ineffectual, it's Sarwar.

Due to the bots in bold, it was the waste of a massive opportunity to secure the centre/ right of labour, centre ground and left of the Conservatives as they were having an identity crisis of the right. It was going to take time, and with lots of internal fighting, but it's been a bit squandered.

With SOG waiting for the guardian to give him a thought, we can at least know what No 10 is doing through their Comms Director....oh.... I guess he wasn't keen on the messages he had to deliver...

Mid to chest high blocks. 🙂 Maye got turned over three times and there was one move (a screen it's called) that set up a false runner, only to pass it shorter. It was fine as something different to watch. The score being close for half the game, made it more interesting, even if that meant touchdowns arriving later on.

If you practice replacing "we're going to be in Europe" with "one of the group's clubs is going to be in Europe", you get a bit of reflected glory.

Dragan kicked that chair when we were getting well beaten by Spurs. Now we have people to do that for him.
