CONTENDERS FOR PRIME MINISTER !!!!!

Angela Rayner,  Wes Streeting, Andy Burnham and Red Ed Miliband.

Lord Almighty,  Labour is really trawling the depths.  Pick any of that lot and Labour will deserve to be out of government for many years to come.

TORCUIL CRICHTON MP - THE MAN IN THE WIND (4)

We've just been looking up the lists of (a)  those Labour MPs who want Prime Minister Starmer gone and (b) those who wish him to stay on as Prime Minister.  Our MP,  the lamentable Torcuil,  is not on either list - surprise,  surprise!!!!!

Torcuil,  the man in the wind.  Do we know where he stands on ANYTHING?

ANAS SARWAR MSP (2)

Anas Sarwar MSP is Labour Party Leader in Scotland.  Labour has received a terrible thrashing from the electorate at the Holyrood Election just days ago.

While,  undoubtedly,  Keir Starmer's unpopularity with the electorate was a factor in the outcome in Scotland,  the bigger problems were (1) Sarwar's telling Starmer to resign only a few weeks back in the middle of Election hustings and (2) the fact that Sarwar himself had no policies on display for the electorate.  No wonder it went belly-up.

Anas Sarwar has made a dog's breakfast of it and has no option but to resign as Scottish Leader.  That's the only honourable course.  

Make way for Jackie Baillie.

THE 2026 ELECTIONS

Well,  that's that over and the Fat Lady is singing again.  With the Elections being a choice of Keir Starmer,  John Swinney,  Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski it was no choice at all and, inevitably, it was going to be a disaster.  The country couldn't produce bigger dummies than that lot.

We have long expressed our hostility to Keir Starmer ever since it became public knowledge in 2024 that he accepted a huge amount of freebies valued at tens of thousands of GBP from Labour Party benefactor, Lord Alli.  We said at the time that the country would not forget  and most certainly the country has not forgotten despite the passage of time. 

We understand Starmer has now appointed two new advisers in former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and a Mrs Harman.  We don't know anything about Mrs Harman but we would appoint Larry,  the Downing Street cat,  long before we would appoint Gordon Brown to anything.  

Remember,  Brown was not only a useless Prime Minister but also was one of those scandalous MPs who had to repay many thousands of GBP following the Parliamentary Expenses Scandal some years ago.  We haven't forgotten that.  Neither have we forgotten how he has kept the UK bogged down in debt interest from those  crazy Private Finance Iniatives from his days as Prime Minister.

While there were, indeed,  heavy Labour losses,  Dishonest John Swinney  managed to lose a lot of SNP votes also and no bloody wonder.  John Swinney is as stupid,  useless and dishonest as they come with not a principle in sight. Scotland knows it but for many reasons the country was reluctant to opt for both Starmer and Scottish Labour Leader Sarwar and especially following the spat between them when Sarwar told the public in no uncertain terms that he wanted Starmer to resign as Prime Minister.  That spat was the death warrant for Labour in Scotland.

Farage and Company managed to make big inroads into the popular vote. No wonder with Starmer and Swinnney as rulers in their respective fiefdoms - it wasn't much of an opposition,  was it?  But,  and mark our words,  Farage,  the shiftiest man in politics,  is heading for big trouble.  A lot of knives are out for him and rightly so.

Oh,  and let's not forget shameless Polanski,  as untrustworthy as the rest of them. The Greens are the  biggest frauds of all.

ZACK POLANSKI

We understand Zack Polanski to be Leader of the Greens.

He's a complete fraud - even by the abysmal standards prevailing in politics today. 

PAM BONDI, EX-UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL (2)

Ms Bondi is no longer Attorney General of the United States.  She was removed from office yesterday by the President.

The lesson here is that it was utter folly for Ms Bondi to get involved in government at Federal level. She sold herself only to be destroyed with her reputation in tatters.  We do hope,  however,  that Ms Bondi can now find some inner peace for her very troubled soul.

A salutary lesson for all.

CAROLINE LAMB, CHIEF EXECUTIVE, NHS SCOTLAND

Caroline Lamb,  Chief Executive of NHS Scotland,  is euphemistically 'stepping down' from her post - and not before time either.  

Ms Lamb's  fingerprints are all over the notorious case Nurse Sandie Peggie brought against a disastrous NHS Fife Board earlier in the year.  As are the fingerprints of Carol Potter,  former Chief Executive of NHS Fife,  who resigned from post some months ago.

The Sandra Peggie case was a watershed moment in public life in Scotland where public officials thought they could get away with anything  on the instructions of the nationalist government. It was utterly shameful behaviour involving quite a number of individuals. They found out the hard way and, for their nationalist political masters, the  very expensive way of wasting public money, that they couldn't do just as they pleased.

Our public services  are well rid of both Ms Lamb and Ms Potter.  Now,  for Swinney  to go in disgrace - same as happened to Sturgeon.
