I played hide and seek today and spent more time on side quests than actually hiding

Do we not proofread anymore?

She then failed to get re-elected at May's election. She came second in Rutherglen and Cambuslang, trailing the SNP by 5,844 votes. Ms Lennon was then ranked fourth on Labour's Glasgow regional list and the party only one [sic] three seats in the city.

Centrists can never say why they don’t like their party’s left wing. Are we causing factional fights or not really part of the party. The real reason is our ideas are popular and we can win.

A screenshot of a bluesky post from Jaime Harrison reading “I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don't run for our nomination.”

I keep seeing people posting their car’s temperature, what are you doing driving in weather like this? There’s no way I’m stepping in mine for at least a week

A truly insane thing for the Labour leader to say, Cherry was beaten by Labour!

I always think it’s kinda cool how my walk home from the gym takes me past the ground of the first ever international football game (Scotland beat England 5-1)

Spending my weekend in the most Reform part of Scotland with the wokest MSP in Scotland

A screenshot from the BBC website showing the results for a constituency, Karen Adam from the SNP won with 10,374 votes (35.2%, a decrease of 9.9) bear Conrad Ritchie of Reform with 10,010 votes (33.9%, an increase of 33.9)

post a photo from 2019 I’m not sure why my hair was so high

I drove past a lorry that looked like this yesterday and laughed so much I nearly crashed (it’s not transphobic)

The weather has been doing good things to my hair (don’t disagree)

Why are the BBC still going to the Tories for comments about the Scottish Government, they’re the fifth largest party! They’re totally irrelevant, there’s three other larger opposition parties to get statements from instead

A screenshot from the BBC news app in dark mode of an article headline “Scotland's benefits bill not too high, new deputy FM says”, a photo of Jenny Gilruth attributed to PA media with the subheading “Jenny Gilruth has been given a promotion in the new Scottish cabinet”

A screenshot from the BBC news app, subheading “'Ballooning benefits bill'” and text “Scottish Conservative finance spokesman Craig Hoy said: "It defies belief that the new finance secretary thinks the SP's ballooning benefits bill is sustainable, and that she has no intention of reining it in."”

I am a sucker for these quizzes. Once again not sure how people are getting hawkish scores, I am questioning your morals

A political compass result describing me as an eco-socialist with the following scores:

My result: Eco-Socialist

Economic: strongly collectivist -4.8
Social: strongly progressive 4.6
Sovereignty: cosmopolitan 2.2
Military: strongly anti-interventionist -4.2
Authority: strongly libertarian -4.5
Constitutional: strongly reformist 4.0

This is what I mean, net negative approval ratings but (significantly) less unpopular than the rest. Fairly certain polling on the government is similar; the snp are very strongly helped by Tories, reform and (most of all) Labour being horrifically unpopular

“None of the Scottish party leaders are viewed positively overall by the public.
First Minister John Swinney is the least worst rated, with 30% viewing him favourably and 42% viewing him unfavourably - giving a 'net' favourability rating of -12, compared with -10 in Ipsos' previous poll in September 2025.”
“least worst rated” and “favourability rating of -12” are highlighted in green

Idk how anyone gets anything other than “strongly left wing”, the questions were literally should poor people starve

A screenshot for yet another politic compass website describing me as a democratic socialist, strongly left wing, strongly libertarian, strongly pro liberty, slightly globalist, and low trust

They keep saying this, they keep saying anything they don’t like will be chaos but the chaos is already here! How can you look around and say this isn’t chaos?

Screenshot from the BBC news app, written by Henry Zeffman (Chief political correspondent reporting from Downing Street):
“I just exclusively interviewed the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, in Downing Street for BBC
Breakfast.
It's the first time she has spoken about the prospect of a Labour leadership election.
She said it would "plunge the country into chaos"”

An absolutely insane stat, over a century of political dominance that Starmer has almost single-handedly destroyed
