Daily Record22-05-2025

Lucy Haughey, 44, went on TikTok Live and made vile comments about Kevin Keegan on December 30 2023.
A Scots 'Come Dine With Me' winner who posted a sick video about her dead former partner online was fined £450 on Wednesday.
Lucy Haughey, 44, went on TikTok Live and made negative comments about Kevin Keegan on December 30 2023.

The mum - who won the hit Channel 4 show in 2017 - pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

Haughey hit the headlines eight years ago after she had sex with a 15-year-old boy and was given a three-year community payback order.
Her previous convictions also include stalking social worker Shannon Low in 2017 and was sentenced to community service.
Haughey posted a video on social media about Miss Low in 2022 which included abusive comments. She was banned from contacting Miss Low for 10 years.
Haughey was found guilty last year of racially abusing her former neighbour Roman Kavur and was fined £420.
The court heard that in Haughey's latest matter she donated five pounds to an online fundraiser for Mr Keegan's funeral.

Friends found this "unusual" as Mr Keegan was her ex-partner.

"There is so much more I could expose, so much more."
The police were then called on Haughey who now resides in Greece.

Staggering number of WhatsApps primary school pupil sent in single night revealed, sparking smartphone ban

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A YEAR 6 pupil racked up 9,000 WhatsApps in a single night — prompting their primary school to ban smartphones. The extreme messaging on the child's handset stoked online safety fears, leading parents to agree to a ban.

When their teacher at Blackhorse Primary School in Bristol retrieved it, they saw the thousands of missed messages. Executive headteacher Simon Botten said: 'The teacher picked up the phone, waking it, only to see a notification of 9,000 missed messages from the Year 6 pupil WhatsApp group overnight. 'Nine thousand messages in a 15-hour overnight period.' Staff at the school were so shocked by the level of activity they started a consultation process over whether smartphones should be banned. Supporters pointed to a rise in cyber-bullying, growing phone obsession and predators online. When police were brought in to give a talk on sexual predators and crooks lurking online, shocked parents swung behind the idea — with nearly nine in ten voting in favour of the ban. Children will still be allowed to bring in brick phones for texts and calls only. Mr Botten hopes it will help parents delay buying smartphones and reduce peer pressure in the playground. He added: 'Parents massively overestimate dangers in the real world and massively underestimate dangers in the digital one.'

Independence isn't going away no matter how much Keir Starmer wishes

A GROUP of leading pro-independence campaigners have written to Keir Starmer about his diktat that there will be no second Scottish independence referendum even if Scots choose to elect a pro-independence majority of MSPs at next year's Scottish Parliament election. Writer and broadcaster Lesley Riddoch, Believe in Scotland (BiS) founder Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp and Common Weal's head of policy and research Dr Craig Dalzell are all amongst those who have signed the letter as have former BBC Scotland presenter Ken Macdonald and Dr Tim Rideout, the convener of the Scottish Currency Group. The group wrote: "So this is a statement of our intent to keep campaigning for independence, an option currently favoured by more than half the Scottish population in recent opinion polls, and for the democratic right to choose – something embedded in legislation for Northern Ireland but repeatedly denied to Scotland." The group continued: "The Labour leader may think he is simply challenging the SNP before a critical by-election this week and Scottish elections next year. But Scotland's future is not an electoral game. "By denying a second referendum regardless of the 2026 election outcome, the Prime Minister is snubbing democracy, devolution and the many Scots who once viewed his party as the best democratic option to the Conservatives at Westminster." The group added that Labour, the Conservatives and Reform UK "clearly offer no democratic resolution to Scotland's constitutional impasse". The letter concludes by saying that this is "precisely why we restate our determination to keep working towards independence". Of course, Starmer will file this letter in the bin, he pays attention only to focus groups stuffed with Reform UK-leaning voters from England, but it's still useful to remind a man elected on one third of votes cast in last summer's Westminster General Election that he cannot indefinitely deny the 54% or more of Scots who want independence the right to a say on the constitutional future of their country. The issue of Scottish independence is not going to go away, no matter how much Starmer and his allies in the Scottish branch office might wish it would. Back to genocide-enabling business as usual It's just over a week since Foreign Secretary David Lammy stood up in the House of Commons and told MPs that the British Government said, "tsk, tsk," to Israel over its genocide in Gaza, and its withholding of food supplies as a tool to assist in the ethnic cleansing of the territory, although of course Lammy couldn't bring himself to utter the G-word. Lammy announced that the UK was suspending trade talks with Israel in protest over the genocide that must not be mentioned. Yet within a week of Lammy's statement, Labour peer Ian Austin, who is the UK Government's trade envoy to Israel, was seen on a visit to the country where he said he was going to "meet businesses and officials to promote trade with the UK". The UK Government insisted that despite the suspension of any new trade talks with Israel, the UK still has a trading relationship with Israel. In other words, Lammy's statement was purely performative, like telling a naughty child that you're very cross with them, but then giving them money for sweeties anyway. Only in this case the naughty child is slaughtering tens of thousands of people in a genocidal war of destruction and is openly advertising its intention to ethnically cleanse two million Palestinians and permanently remove them from their homeland. Instead of giving money for sweeties, the British Government is continuing to supply Israel with the weaponry and intelligence and logistical support it needs to complete its destruction of Gaza and render it uninhabitable. But it's back to genocide-enabling business as usual for Labour. A group of Labour MPs have visited Israel on a lobbying trip as the country's brutal assault on Gaza intensifies. The party's most prominent pro-Israel group, Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), sent a delegation of parliamentarians including chair Jon Pearce, as well as fellow Labour MPs Cat Eccles, Kevin McKenna, Peter Prinsley and Mark Sewards. The group has been accompanied by former Labour MP and House of Lords member Luciana Berger. During their trip, the group met with Israeli politicians who have insisted it is "legitimate" to withhold food aid from Palestinian civilians. These include Yair Golan, leader of Labour's sister party, the Democrats. In October 2023 Golan said: 'I think that in this battle, it is forbidden to allow a humanitarian effort. We need to say to them: listen, until the [captives] are released, from our side, you can die from starvation. It's totally legitimate." At Prime Minister's Questions today, SNP MP Brendan O'Hara confronted Starmer with the revelation that UK Government lawyers arguing in the High Court had said that 'no genocide has occurred or is occurring' in Gaza. O'Hara said: 'The Prime Minister has repeatedly told this House that it is not for him or his government to determine what is and what is not a genocide. But that position is no longer tenable because at the High Court recently, the Prime Minister instructed his lawyers to argue that in Gaza, and I quote, 'no genocide has occurred or is occurring'. 'So the truth is, his government has made a determination. The question is: does he have the courage of his convictions and will he repeat from that despatch box what he told his lawyers to argue in the High Court? That he believes that no genocide has occurred or is occurring in Gaza?" Predictably, Starmer did not address the point the SNP MP had made, and retorted with an adolescent and irrelevant gibe at the SNP's opposition to nuclear weapons. Starmer said: 'I have said that we are strongly opposed and appalled by Israel's recent actions, I've been absolutely clear in condemning them and calling them out; whether that's the expansion of military operations, settler violence or the dreadful blocking of aid, it's completely unacceptable. 'We must see a ceasefire, hostages must be released and there must be aid into Gaza. 'But he talks about peace and security, their party, as I understand it at this moment of global instability as we go into a new era, what do they want to do? They want to get rid of the nuclear deterrent, the single most important capability that we have to keep the UK safe, harming the industry and harming the country.'

Graeme Souness rips into 'chancer' Farage as he backs Labour in Hamilton by-election

EXCLUSIVE: In a withering attack on the Reform UK leader, the Rangers legend said Farage will "show up for the cameras, then disappear when it matters". Graeme Souness has blasted Nigel Farage as a 'chancer' who does not care about Scots in a dramatic intervention in a Holyrood by-election. The Rangers legend dismissed the Reform UK leader as someone who vanishes 'when it matters' as he backed Labour candidate Davy Russell in tomorrow's crunch vote. ‌ Voters in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse are poised to elect their new MSP after one of the most bitter snap elections in decades. ‌ The SNP, Labour and Reform are locked in a three-horse race, with Farage's party accused of racism during the campaign. Souness, a former Rangers manager who is hugely popular in Larkhall, has now issued his verdict on the contest. He said: 'Don't fall for Farage, he's a chancer — all talk, and he doesn't care about us. He'll show up for the cameras, then disappear when it matters. ' Davy Russell is different. He's one of your own, a local man that knows what it's like to graft, to face challenges head-on, and to stand up for his community. 'Vote for someone who knows you and will stand up for you - Davy Russell. Souness, who starred for Liverpool and Scotland during an illustrious playing career, is adored by Rangers fans after a successful spell in charge between 1986 and 1991. ‌ He is now a football pundit known for his sharp takes on top flight players and teams. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar welcomed the endorsement: 'I'd like to thank Graeme Souness for his support. He couldn't be more right, Nigel Farage is a dangerous clown and the people of Scotland see right through him. 'With just two parties campaigning to win, the contest is a straight fight between continued decline under the SNP – or change with Scottish Labour. Tomorrow is a chance to put this failing SNP government on notice and elect a local champion – let's seize that opportunity.' ‌ Souness ' criticism of Farage comes after fellow football legend Sir Alex Ferguson also backed Russell. He told the Record earlier in the campaign: 'I've known Davy Russell for years, and I can say without hesitation that he's a man of integrity, determination, and deep commitment to his community. ‌ 'He's from here, he understands the people, and he never forgets where he comes from. Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse need someone who'll fight their corner — and Davy is that person. 'I'm proud to support him and know he'll work tirelessly for the place he calls home.' Reform UK's campaign has been dogged by claims of racism against Sarwar. ‌ The anti-immigration party put out an online advert which falsely claimed the Glasgow MSP had said he will 'prioritise' Pakistani community. Sarwar blasted the ad as 'blatantly racist' but Farage doubled down and accused him of introducing sectarianism into Scottish politics. Reform also piled more money into the Facebook ad, with spending jumping from around £8,000 to nearly £25,000. ‌ On the final day of campaigning, Sarwar said his party had faced a campaign of 'misinformation and dirt' from opponents, saying only Labour or the SNP can win the seat. He posed for pictures with Russell alongside supporters holding up signs saying: 'A local champion vs more failure with the SNP.' ‌ He said: 'We have focused on the issues that matter here in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. I think it's for other parties to explain why they've chosen the campaign tactics they have. ' Reform have chosen a campaign of dirt and smear, the SNP have lacked all ambition, the best they can offer is 'vote SNP to stop Farage'.' Sarwar said Farage is a 'pathetic, poisonous little man', adding: 'Frankly, it's water off a duck's back, because I'm fighting to change our country, he wants to divide it.' ‌ Meanwhile, SNP First Minister John Swinney said he is 'confident we have done all that we can' to secure victory for party candidate Katy Loudon. He said: 'People face a simple choice in this by-election. They can either vote for the SNP – elect an SNP MSP – or they will end up with a Reform MSP. That's the simple choice. 'People have got to vote SNP to stop Farage and they can vote SNP for the various other steps that we take, our policies on eradicating child poverty, about supporting families in dealing with the cost-of-living crisis.' He said Farage wants to 'undermine the Scottish Parliament' by scrapping the Barnett Formula, which gives Scots a sizeable public spending advantage. The by-election is taking place following the death of Scottish Government minister Christina McKelvie, with Swinney saying his party is 'working hard to retain the seat in Christina's memory'.
