THE 2026 ELECTIONS

Well,  that's that over and the Fat Lady is back 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.

DISHONEST JOHN SWEENEY (2)

'Dishonest John' Sweeney was on show at the Union Street Fire in Glasgow yesterday all dressed up in a Hi-Vis Jacket so that he was difficult to miss.   The TV cameras were rolling,  of course, hence the Hi-Vis.   It was the first time 'Dishonest John' has  been seen in Glasgow for many years.

Amazing what a forthcoming Holyrood election in May can do for a First Minister's soul.  As if 'Dishonest John' cares a damn about Glasgow - but votes are votes.  'Dishonest John' at his classic best.  

An outrageous chancer and opportunist - and as dishonest as they come.  He learned his tricks from Salmond and Sturgeon and that says it all.

LUCY POWELL MP

The Right Honourable Lucy Powell is MP for a Northern working-class constituency.  She is also Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.  As far as we are aware, she no longer holds any Government appointment as she and Keir don't get on terribly well.  

Lucy is one of the great freeloaders of the current Parliament.  She has received tens and tens of thousands of GBPs recently in what is euphemistically called 'gifts'.  Not 'bungs',  of course,  but 'gifts'.  Can anyone tell us why the hell would a politician ever accept a 'gift' from anyone?

Anyway, following last week's disastrous by-election in Denton and Gorton, Lucy stuck the knife brutally into Keir saying that if that chancer,  Andy Burnham,  had been the Labour candidate instead of the Labour-annointed candidate,  Labour would have won.  

That's how stupid Lucy actually is.  It has never dawned on her that the root causes of Labour's unpopularity are (a) the almost unbelieveable wholesale  acceptance of this thing called 'gifts' to politicians that scunnered the electorate  (b) the quite extraordinary dishonesty on which Labour based its election promises to the electorate  and (c) Labour's abysmal record since being elected to Government some 20 months ago.

You might be stupid,  Lucy,  but we certainly aren't.  That's why your own seat is on a very shoogly nail same as the rest of them.

 

MANDELSON'S ARREST

Peter Mandelson was arrested two days ago by the Metropolitan Police invesigating the fallout from the Epstein Saga in the United States.  He was held for 8 hours before released on bail.  

The allegations the Police are investigating relate to this outrageous common law English crime called 'Misconduct in Public Office'.  This deeply unsatisfactory crime is the sort of crime that,  for a public official,  is magnificently vague but covers every alleged wrongdoing under the sun.

Yesterday,  Mandelson's solicitors hit out at the decision to arrest him on Police suspicion that he was going to flee the country.  They said there was 'absolutely no truth whatsoever' on which to base that suspicion and we accept that without question.

In our view,  this is the Metropolitan Police response to the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrest by Thames Valley Police of last week.  We regard both arrests as totally without justification at this stage of the investigations.

We have the same bad vibes about Mandelson's arrest that we had of Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest.
