My daughter Anna's in the Sunday Post! I don't think I had ever before met anyone as famous as Oor Wullie!She sent me a big version too, but for some reason I can't attach it. Anyway, here she is.
So, while we're talking about £5m and Reform and JCB, let's also talk about Labour and the NHS (all details available from EveryDoctor). Accepting "donations" (because we would never say "bribes") while involved in politics HAS to be made a criminal offence.
When is a "donation" not a donation? When it's a bribe. When you have a vested interest in making the NHS fail, so that private healthcare providers can step in. See EveryDoctor for the detail.
With hair like that, they should be managers in Scottish football.
This is what both Wes Streeting and Nigel Farage want. The adverts encouraging me to pay £23 a month to skip NHS queues have been appearing on the screen of my laptop for a while now. It's coming, if we don't vote for candidates who are against it.
It always surprises me that SNP don't trumpet what is for me one of the biggest reasons I vote for them and not for an English party: a more progressive tax system. It's not a guilty secret that the better-off pay a little more, while many pay less. Let's be proud of our humanity!
