Queen set to pay millions for a $2000 an hour legal team known to make celeb problems "go away" for Prince Andrew.
"despite an affluent lifestyle, he has no discernible income."
Meanwhile, for us, national insurance increased, universal credit cuts and a fuel and food shortage.

Looks like the Labour party in Glasgow have decided they don't need to show up to Glasgow's city budget.
It's no wonder the people of Glasgow no longer trust them to run our city - an absolute dereliction of their duty as councillors.

🥀 It was not Glasgow that demolished these tenements - it was Glasgow Labour. In the process they drove a motorway through the centre of Glasgow directly over existing communities.
Glasgow demolished over 100,000 of its traditional tenements between 1960 and 1990.
Around 70,000 are left.
We should build many more of them, with sandstone façades and bay windows.

Shameful for the @Daily_Record to roll out Gordon Brown claiming Labour will end child poverty the day after Glasgow Labour tried to stop @theSNP calling for an end to the two-child cap and bedroom tax.

Non-story. If the next UK General Election resulted in a hung parliament and Labour was able to form a minority government then any SNP MPs would have two options: to support a Labour government or to support the Tories. That's it. There would be no need for any 'deal' or 'pact'.

The Labour Party aren't competent enough to give their candidates basic advice on electoral law.
Sarwar's troubled relationship with the truth isn’t anything new - but blaming others for his own party's embarrassing mistakes is a new low even for him.

🤔 If Labour Whips can not even promise their own MPs that they will lift the two-child cap and are having to resort to threats instead, then what does that tell you?
@Keir_Starmer's Labour is fighting hard for Tory policies that keep children in poverty.
MPs say Labour whips are really laying it on thick with warnings to potential rebels on the SNP two-child benefit amendment.
One says it is "all stick" rather than any promises on the issue itself. Another describes the tactics as "astonishing."
