You do know it's not the same doctors etc, right? It comes from the same pot of money - the NHS. I don't think that's quite right. Isn't health a devolved matter, as are Scottish government spending decisions? If I'm right then it's not the national NHS budget, or the same pot of money. If you live in Scotland that may be relevant to what you think Scottish spending priorities should be. If you live anywhere else in the UK it's irrelevant.

Good to see Lord Farage didn't make your list of annoyances. He is rather a pleasant character I do agree. It wasn't meant to be an exhaustive list

And do wonder a little bit about priorities when P2P gets a first order mention but Putin doesn't. An unfortunate omission on my part.

The sad thing is he's not even very good at being naughty. That, at least, I could find some kind of admiration for. Nobody else is likely to save hundreds of thousands of lives in Ukraine. And how is Trump going to do that? Let Russia have the three eastern oblasts with no consequences? And if the "West" allows that, what message do you think that sends Putin? Where next? Where do you draw the line? You have expressed concern about the impact of immigration on UK, and the salience of this issue in terms of Brexit. What do you think will happen if Russia conquers Ukraine? How many millions of refugees will head west? If that happens what is left of Ukraine? What is left for the population who can't escape? It'll be grim. No apologies for language. If Trump wins, and cuts a deal with Putin selling Ukraine down the river, the value of your property in Kyiv will be zero. And you'll have a lot more extended family beating on your door. I don't have a magic wand. I don't have a solution. But letting Putin win is not the answer. Putin must lose. We live in a much, much more dangerous world than we did a mere ten years ago. I'm not that bothered about my own existence. I care a great deal about the children of my friends, and younger generations in general. The legacy we are leaving them is not a good one .

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy. The sad thing is he's not even very good at being naughty. That, at least, I could find some kind of admiration for.

This afternoon's session was interesting, in that an appeals court judge was called as a witness. The dynamic was... different.

Yes, she's almost certainly going to fall back on "... but I relied on what I was told"... yes, but the problem with that defence line is it's becoming increasingly less credible by the day i.e. evidence is mounting that she had evidence or at the worst severe doubt put in front of her, and also that she lied or at best was deliberately misleading. and that's without even tackling the idea that insufficient curiosity as the actual truth of the matter is itself a massive failure of leadership. Hence why I said she's going to get crucified. A punishment not restricted to messiahs historically.

Paula Vennells is going to get crucified when she appears in front of the inquiry. Some time in May? Being crucified seems appropriate for someone who purports to be a Christian. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. I chose my words carefully.

What's the betting she blames everyone else. Yes, she's almost certainly going to fall back on "... but I relied on what I was told"...
