World-beating.

If we're winning shouldn't that be "Best rate of child alcohol consumption in the world"? Typical deep state, loony left spin from The Groaniad, there.

In a spectacular display of incompetence of Tory proportions, Yousaf is now set to face a vote of No Confidence where the vote is already looking set to be close to a 50/50 split. It'll be interesting, depending on how this pans out, on how much further impact it has in destabilising SNP support as they've been losing momentum in polls for a while already amidst the recent scandals and arguments.

Sorry to hear that bud, honestly, i don’t know how people do chemo for a year straight, you just put your life on hold while the hospital poisons you and hopes for the best.

Anything’s better than chemo or radiotherapy.

Tory MP defects to Labour. Interestingly he was making negative headlines only a few days ago in The Guardian:

It’s a safe bet that Poultry won’t be the last Tory rat to escape the sinking ship in the next six months or so.*

* or three months, if July election.
