The LibDem Template
June 29, 2024
The Scottish Liberal Democrats appeared to have been caught out copying and pasting English policy. A campaign flyer claimed "the SNP have let water companies get away with dumping sewage into or (sic) rivers, lochs and sea for too long. The Lib Dems will fight to protect our environment and punish rule breaking water companies." Scottish Water is publicly owned. Elsewhere they claimed "sewage was dumped into Scottish rivers for 183,832 hours last year", a meaningless statistic given there are only 8760 hours in a year.

The Right Honourable Fiona Bruce
June 22, 2024
Question Time host Fiona Bruce was slated for trying to shut down John Swinney after saying that Brexit is the reason the UK economy has tanked. Bruce interrupted the First Minister around 20 times during his half-hour interview. Elsewhere it seemed that her opinions mattered more to her than any of the party leaders.

Leading From The Front
June 8, 2024
In a surprise move, Douglas Ross announced he would be standing as an MP in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East, describing the move as "leading from the front". Most surprised of all was the current holder of the seat, David Duguid, who appeared to be unaware of his deselection, saying the decision was not his and that claims he was “unable to stand” due to ill health were “simply incorrect”.

Taking No Chances
June 1, 2024
Keir Starmer denied that he was purging the Labour Party of left-wing and pro-Palestine candidates, but the evidence was pretty clear. Most notable was Faiza Shaheen, the candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, who was deselected for liking a tweet that included a satirical video by Jon Stewart suggesting that anyone questioning Israel's actions would be shouted down.
California Dreaming
May 25, 2024
Rishi Sunak's election campaign got off to a very unfortunate start. First, he announced it in the rain without an umbrella while a protester played 'Things can only get better'. Visiting a factory in Wales he asked “So are you looking forward to all the football?” (Wales did not qualify for Euro 2024.) Then he was asked questions by two people who turned out to be Conservative councillors. Then he travelled to Belfast visiting the Titanic Quarter and was asked whether he was captaining a sinking ship. After two days, he announced he would be taking a day off.

The One Issue Party
May 18, 2024

A spokesperson said: “The welfare of all our members is our primary concern. The [Conduct and Complaints Committee] process found that the members were in breach of our code of conduct."
