    Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the SNP:

    Good few days for Labour and they haven't even done anything.

    This falls right into the pro-Unionist lap...Both Tory & Labour will have a field day with this, despite the fact that Police have to 'arrest' a person to interview them under caution. NS may end up being charged with an offence, but at this stage it's by no means a given.

    So they'll be ditching another pledge like the other day where they ditched their green energy pledge while most people were paying attention to Trump getting arrested?

    I've no idea what that has to do with Sturgeon being arrested, but ok.

    That would be, when the top story was Trump getting charged, Labour announced they were dumping their green energy plan

    And it has to be said, that was dumb from two angles: dumb from the angle that the Mail and Express would be looking to report on anything other than Trump being charged and they handed them something to run with even though there was plenty of mileage they could have got from screeching incoherently about Prince Harry for another week, while also dumb from the standpoint that it looked like them trying to bury bad news by chucking that out when they assumed that Trump would be on all the front pages - as well as dumb from the standpoint of breaking pledges, but that's their standard operating procedure at this point

    A former Prime Minister elected on a populist platform who mainly got drunk and shagged when in office has died

    Don't get your hopes up, I'm talking about Silvio Berlusconi

    What're the odds this is one of the randy Honey Monster's illegitimate spawn?


    Her Linkedin is looking more than a little suspect, too

    Literally describing xenophobia without it clicking, somehow.
    She does understand that MP for Barking is locational and not descriptive, right?

    Italian proto-Trump/Johnson, Silvio Berlusconi, has died in hospital at the age of 86.
    He is fondly remembered by a bunch of utter scumbags, including Vladimir Putin.
    AC Milan will pay tribute to their former owner and noncy ****house who stole them lots of trophies.

    STOP PRESS, for the first time in her truly underwhelming time in parliament Helen Whatley does the right thing and does not back Hancock , I suspect that she did not do this to bring out the truth but to save her own skin , regardless of this I hope the people of Kent see her for what she is and sack her off at the next GE

    Dumbass, true but she will end up as nonexecutive member on a health care board earning shed loads of money to top up the shed loads of money she has already taken from the public

    Very true. Stupidity and complete incompetence for any significant role in Government is a minor distraction when pitted against an ambiguous RW political ideology and years of 'support' elevating her into Cabinet positions.
    Hopefully, she will be destined for the political dustbin at the next election, but she may well continue to feature in UK medicare through that private route. Not to be trusted!
