    I don't think it's as clear cut as that.

    My understanding is that the Cass review excludes various scientific studies in support of 'gender affirming care' that other countries have included in their reviews, which led them to a different conclusion.

    Therefore it's not that the Greens are denying science, just the selective use of it.

    Yeah there seems to be a lot of claims, I went to the published report to look at sources as folk complaining about it, but it seemed very vague in the actual report. Then I just gave up I have a massive amount of reading to do for my own studies. No need to get myself involved in this too.

    I can place a bet of any amount that polling and performance of the SNP will go up if KF  becomes leader of the SNP 

    Yeah but the argument isn't polling numbers. The argument is getting a referendum with regards to circumstances. Indepenence support has been pretty much static with the+-3% error for ages. There is no avenue for a second referendum regardless who is in charge.

    It's politically expedient for people who aren't in power to pretend there is to try and get into power.

    Usually manage to get Wordle solved, but the target is now to get it in three.  Surprising how often that happens and also the amount of letters you can infer.  I always start with "audio" to see which vowels are present (and if none come up, it's almost certain there will be at least one "e" in the word).

    I haven't played wordle in ages however, that was my go to first word a lot of the times.

    Once again, the headline does not reflect the actual context of the comments that were. More twisted BBC propaganda. 

    Sometimes we are prepared to accept the propaganda, if it backs up our own personal views. At other times we see the same level of blatant propaganda as being despicable. Sometimes it just depends on whose side the propagandists are on.

    Did you watch the video cause that is pretty much what he did say, is the video doctored?

    in the context of a Russian attack

    'You didn't pay? You're delinquent?'... 'No I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever they want. You gotta pay.'"

    Them being Russia

    here is headline

    "Trump says he would 'encourage' Russia to attack Nato allies who do not pay their bills"

    On the pension thing it really depends on what the percentage increase is going forward and how the personal allowance.

    Worse case scenario, i.e. personal allowance doesn't increase and we take the highest possible percentage increase.

    Assuming tax rates are the same. Rough estimates.

    They pay £3 a week in tax in 2026.

    If we take the mean of increases then we're into the 2030's before we reach that threshold.

    If the personal allowance threshold changes then that pushes everything further into the future.
