Collectively, we are living with the consequences of the choices we made 2 years ago.

The incoming PM has promised to bring back ‘hope’! He may tinker around the edges on some policies, but the reality is, his hands are tied fiscally. Too many deals have been made, ones that cannot be undone, leaving very little wriggle room.

He has, however, reversed one bad policy, digital ID. But something tells me it will creep in via the back door affecting some part of our lives.

We now live in a world that will not accommodate ‘old Labour’ ideology. Nobody, not even Burnham, can turn the clock back that far. There are no quick fixes, the oracle [Truss] has spoken, move too fast and he will cause a financial crisis…she should know!! Move too slow, and the people will lose faith and turn against him. What he does and where he does it will matter. Can he come up with a plan that will at least give a semblance of order and settle the maddening crowd?

I won’t hold my breath! The stars are not aligning, nor are his ducks all in a row!

As for Swinney, well, I think all of his ducks have gone walkabout, and a tsunami is on the way. If he thought everything would go away with Murrell in jail, he must know by now that it’s just not going to happen. I think things are going to get very messy, and when things get messy at one end of the room, the other end gets neglected. To run a country, one has to be 100% focused. I don’t think he can be.

I think he needs to have a wee word with his former boss, because every time she makes a statement through her very expensive Lawyer, she makes things worse for herself and the whole Party.

There appears to be some kind of ‘baiting’ game going on just now; the penny has dropped and people are becoming very vocal when it comes to accusing NS of just about everything. They know she won’t dare sue them, because a courtroom is her nightmare.

All this seems trivial with the man in the Oval Office, dropping bombs again at the behest of Israel. America certainly lives with its choices.

But her friends are diminishing in the gulf for fear of being annihilated by Iran.

This can’t last long as the bodies pile high.

Some cry, ‘where is God?’… that’s a very good question!
