Popped into Govan Old. The Pictish sarcophagus is looking great. I signed my books in their excellent gift shop. Perhaps pick up a Christmas present while helping @govanstones.bsky.social fundraising?

The Renters Rights Bill has finished going through the House of Lords and will soon become law - great news that renters will now get the basic protections they desperately need

But it barely does a thing on affordability, so now time to tackle that by bringing in rent controls

Vets should be made to publish prices, watchdog says.

Energy, water, internet, phone, train, banks, grocery companies publish prices, doesn't prevent profiteering.

Too many vets owned by corporations & private equity.

How about stopping takeovers, fines and cancelled licences for profiteering

Vet prices have risen at nearly twice the rate of inflation, the Competition and Markets Authority found.

The global network of the radical right is a threat to our democracy. 🚨

@libdemdaisy.bsky.social on Musk and Tommy Robinson: "It is outrageous that a man who has so much control over what people read online could be funding someone who stokes far right extremism on our streets."

Has Israel stopped starving & murdering Palestinians? Have all the Palestinian hostages been released? Are the settlements being dismantled? Is the occupation over? Do Palestinians have the right to return to their homes? Do we have accountability &justice for Israels war crimes?

Title: “We Keep Telling: a reading series for Gaza.” Text: “Online on Zoom. 2 November, 7pm GMT, tinyurl.com/wekeeptelling.” In the background is a painting of a dancing Palestinian woman in a white, short-sleeved thobe with red tatreez and a keffiyeh tied around her waist. Her long black hair is swirling around her and covering her face. A dove stands on one of her outstretched hands, and another dove dances around her other hand. In the lower left, the painting is signed “Marah.”

Starmer's party is Labour in name only. Selling state-wide surveillance as a safety measure. Trading privacy for a pat on the head from Tony Blair. If it was the Tories, we'd riot; now it's just another Tuesday.

Disney isn’t innocent.

While Gaza burned, Disney’s CEO donated $2 million to Israel — and Marvel prepared to release an Israeli Mossad “superhero.”

Actors who say “Free Palestine” are silenced. IDF soldiers become Disney stars.
