Biden is doing a terrible job, but what on Earth would Trump do that would be better?

It literally hurts my brain. Are they saying builders aren’t proper geezers if they don’t have a fry up and keep their mental breakdowns to themselves?

He'd make sure Israel wins bigly.

Probably a bit unfair to ask anyone that question.  I very much doubt anyone does unless they are liars. 

"I want to make sure we reduce economic inequality and spread opportunity around the country."

This is the bit that's a lie

It’s unsurprising he’d want to defend the Tory PM.

I expect Rishi lies awake at night worrying how any of this might affect his future job prospects doing a Clegg for Musk at X.

I think I agree with most these guidelines.  Common sense stuff.

I think the world is about to end!

Mr Fish and I agree on something

I am a little concerned about telling parents if a child socially identifies. That is the same if a child identifies as gay and the school decides to tell the parents. I am not comparing the two btw.

As you may be aware I had kids in care for a spell. One thing that came up a lot was something called Gillick Competency. Essentially it relates to the maturity of an under 16 to make their own decisions primarily for medical treatment but also social aspects.

There is a good outline here

I don't want to get into a debate about transgender as it all confuses me and quite frankly I don't care. Everyone has the right to cut off or add bits to their body if they want.

Its kind of good Scottish voters now get to pay for their stupid choices.  Claim they want the Tories out and then vote SNP - dumb dumb dumb.

Run out of other ways to pay for indie bribes. Scotland has done well recently with top ups of extra money due to extra spends by Westminster sending extra Barnett money to Scotland.

Inflation down to 3.9%. Good work Rishi!
