The SNPs house of cards starting to seriously wobble - thrashed in the Rutherglen by-election by Scottish Labour and losing the seat with a 20% swing. Tories walloped too...

Always nice to see the Tories and Reform lose deposits. Going to be an expensive election if they go through with their promise to stand in every seat (they won’t).
 
All kicking off again in the middle east, Hamas launching a massive offensive in to Israel, killing over a hundred Israelis and taking a lot of hostages, and now Israel bombing the **** out of Gaza...gonna get real nasty

Yep, this will be seriously bad.
The Israelis won't hold back.

Bit of an intelligence failure on the part of the Israelis to be taken by surprise like that.

An operation on this scale takes a lot of planning. Hamas have done very well to keep this under wraps and carry it out under the nose of the intelligence services...it's going to get very bloody as the Israelis are now planning an invasion to get the hostages back

Which is something else they're usually very good at, although I know you know how tough hostage rescue is.

Hamas must have had money for that sort of assault. Biden released $6bn to Iran last month

US has been cutting back it's ties with Israel to try and curry favour from the Saudis....this could be just what the Jewish politicos in Washington need to refocus the administrations support of Israel
 
Biden speech a coded warning to Hezbollah not to interfere and escalate from South Lebanon into Northern Israel - a possibility if Iran intends to hit Israel on two fronts.

Now just came on the wire that Hezbollah started shelling the Israeli radar stations in the Golan. For Israel to fight on two fronts at either end of the country will stretch them
