While on the topic of champions of democracy, such as Reform and the Greens, an SNP councillor has been jailed for sexual assault against 5 men.

While that's bad enough, the SNP went out of it's way to silence and cover up the incidents, going as far as plotting to oust others from the party who raised concerns, or complained about how those concerns were dealt with. The guilty party was seen as a rising star in the party, and has plenty of photos with Sturgeon.

More on behaviour that was indulged for over a decade, here.

Not sure what emoji to put in reaction to that, but clearly the Salmond saga hasn’t led to lessons learned.

Well, you know what happens when a politician's lips move.

I can’t stand Polanski but where he does have a micro point is that Farage, Tice and now Jenryck are only scrutinised by Private Eye, Times, Mirror, Guardian and occasionally the Mail when Badenoch complains (or so the rumour goes).

The level of sycophancy from the DT, Express and BBC leadership is vile when those three have very chequered recent histories.

"It's a matter of trust" said someone from labour.

In other news, all parties are reassessing their immigration policies after 2 million die, after their sides split with laughter over political hypocrisy.

I'm forming the opinion that some politicians have to stop standing because the length of their nose making troughing impossible.

The SNP can't move on from Salmond as some of the people involved in that, are still in office. More broadly, and they aren't alone here, is that there's a controlling group that purged anyone who they felt to be a threat. Morality and decency were never factors for them.

I dont think anyone cares. They are the only party talking about doing something serious to fix (reduce) immigration specifically illegal immigration.

Any party that talks like that has a chance. If they follow through with it is another matter, but I guess it wont be for the lack of effort.

Looks like the gullible labour voters from 2024 have realised that’s what they were.

Coxford, Millbrook, Thornhill. All gone to reform.

Seems ironic that the areas who will benefit the least from the likes of reform getting in are the ones voting for it!

It's an issue that both Conservatives and Labour governments have paid lip service to for decades. They've only themselves to blame if people hold them to account for it. 

I doubt it's the only issue that applies to people's voting for Reform either.

How many of the Reform councillors blaming the previous Conservative administration were actually part of that administration ?

And will the 9% rise actually stave off "financial collapse", or will that be done by the emegency loans from the Government, ( £55M this year snd potentially £99M next ) ?
