@afneil I switched from reading The Guardian to The Spectator about 9 months ago; after reading @DouglasKMurray's 'The Madness of Crowds'.
This change has improved my mood immeasurably.

The Guardian, ITN and The Economist are all still taking money from the Government’s Covid-19 furlough scheme. The Spectator took some last Spring -- and handed it all back in the summer when it realised it didn't need it.

@afneil You must be one of the best adverts for independence from what I am reading and hear.
Your reading and hearing has clearly missed the most recent polls.

@afneil Any chance that the Aberdein evidence will appear on the Spectator’s website?
We don’t have it. But if we did .....

‘This election was rigged,’ Trump said. In the front row of the media overspill room, defeated congressional candidates Laura Loomer and Lauren Witzke applauded. In the arena, the crowd chanted ‘You won.’ Read @mattjpfmcdonald at Trump’s CPAC speech.

@KarenAdamSNP @AndrewM60645243 @JohnPaulMarney @STVNews Sorry Karen, in what way is increasing a benefit not increasing it?
This is bizarre.
Wow. This is a car crash from @KarenadamSNP doesn’t understand our welfare powers, denies them and then tries to rewrite her claims.

More than 20m in UK have now received their first Covid jab, as new evidence shows just one shot of the vaccine gives 90% protection
Quoted @scotfax
In retrospect.
@SophyRidgeSky gets outflanked by @NicolaSturgeon on when she first knew.
R asks about evidence that she knew BEFORE the meeting in her home but S switches to the EDI airport allegations, talking over the Aberdein meeting.
@afneil wouldn’t have been manipulated.
Her meeting with Geoff Aberdein on March 29 2018 was fixed earlier that month by her chief of staff to review the complaints and fix a follow on meeting with Salmond (April 2). So inconceivable she didn’t know in March. If not before.
