It's easily proven if he's posting in a comments section. Can link to what he has said, we can see the date, and then a judgment can be made about their claims.

Can we see what he has said in the past, these things are easily proven. I'm assuming folk have seen what he said to make the claim that his previous assertions have came to fruition. A link to what was said in a date marked post would be sufficient.

Probably a result of them liking him rather than an objective appraisal of his ability to be FM.

Well if we think temporally and assume independence does happen, then it's closer every moment. If we use time as a measurement.

What's the twitter account that got revealed as a staffer sock-puppet account? Who was the staffer and how did it get revealed?

Apart from the use of parliamentary emails, none of these mean anything. Let's run through it, so the vote should be stopped cause of repeat endorsement? the vote should be stopped caused the Daily Record showed a preference, like every paper does every election in every country. the vote should be stopped cause someone said they would be neutral then expressed a preference. I'm sure in your head this sounds reasonable but to me it is the TAMB equivalent of

It's annoying cause if there are no specific things, it's just that stupid "stop the steal" rhetoric in America, which incidentally got defeated something like 40 times out of 40 in USA across multiple states. In an election folk are allowed to favour a candidate , reacting to it not being you by shouting fix without any specific facts just makes you sound unhinged imo.

Well that's the "murrels" oot. Let's see how it goes now. We've changed the parameters lets run the experiment and see what the results are.

Got to admit as someone who is laid up atm, this new season of SNP has really started to get dramatic.

So stop the count cause John Swinney repeated himself? What's the party machine? Have resources/money been given to Yousaf that haven't been afforded to the others? Surely just list the differences , if it's just the fact that loads of the higherups have a preference that is totally normal in leadership campaigns, endorsements exist world-wide. If it's something else state what it is. It's obvious most MP's and MSP's favour one candidate over the other though. That's normal in these things.

Regarding the denomination that Forbes is a member of is it just conservative christian in the sense that pro-life, anti same sex marriage type, or is it even deeper and starts straying into stuff like, age of universe , evolutionary theory etc? A quick google shows there are churches with a very similiar name spouting that evolution is a religious belief and the usual creationist arguments. However i'm unsure if it is the same sect or not.

What specifically does that even mean? I've not been following it closely enough. What is the party in this context and what was done to provide advantages?

I was meaning in the context of attracting people to become politicians, actually competent people. I get and agree in the main with your point though.

That's one interpetation. I don't think the government was that good by the way. Better than Tory England but it's a low bar. It might even be the correct one. However, Another is they have folk that can understand data as opposed to armchair strategists. Then picked an incremental approach to achieving it, cause the numbers, in their view, don't support any other way and "make a positive case" is a vaccous slogan and not an actionable plan. There's an even bigger meta-problem around politics where it's dominated by partisan gomerals addicted to their social media feeds, covered by media trying to generate enagegement which means producing outrage, which in turn leads folk further down the path of polarisation. So why would anyone of competence even want to engage in this? You can have an easier life channelling that competence elsewhere. Everyone's too up in arms about stuff. We're about to see what a post Salmond/Sturgeon SNP looks like, both sides got what they wanted, Salmond out then Sturgeon out. It's going to be grim would be my guess.

Lizz Trust was all the "Free market" "Libertarians" "Game-theory" bro's policies acted out at once and the very markets they loved tanked them out. I've not paid much attention to the race so my uneducated thoughts are Humza is same sort of course candidate, Kate is more fiscal and social conservative, we've seen one budget from her and gives a wee hint into her thinking. We have a parliament so her personal views are tempered by the mechanisms of that. Regan is more the Truss candidate got radical ideas which might crash violently with reality if she get's a chance to enact them. My general thoughts are apathy to them. None are going to last long, this is a transition leader. However it's not like i've been studying the situation closely so there's probably an even bigger chance i'm havering pish. I've found a good thread to do so though.

Oh there's been plenty of warnings lol

I can assure I was never paid as an executor.

I think it's amazing what Murray is doing. You see it in sports when you're just not what you once were and then "the intangibles" come into play and things like heart get put on display. Folk see it and respond. I've lost count of the amount posts i'm seeing from folk all round the world really warming up to Murray. Saying how impressive what he is doing is. Younger folk making memes, it probably shouldn't work this way but i think this stint will be the one a lot of folk will remember. I remember it happening to Chris Eubank when he was older and losing fights but refusing to quit and that's when he got so much respect.

repudiation of death penalty puts executors out of work.

No idea about anything else, i rather liked this though

I had no idea fabric held such sway

Started watching the expanse now. Quite like it.

This is interesting if anyone fancies a watch. Don't listen to all of the new Jon Stewart stuff as it is often American-centric, not as funny as his other stuff, in fact not funny at all really.

Yeah a vague rememberance not quite the data I was looking for

What's the metric of unpopularity of GRR? Was there a poll? Be interesting to see some empiricism on the debate.
