The number of young men intending to vote Reform is wildly exaggerated in the media, but I hope those that were will see this and realise Reform is not a party for the young in any way.

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a £10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

A yellow warning sign on a beach reads “KEEP OUT – SEWAGE CONTAMINATED WATER. EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE ILLNESS.” Waves crash near a pier in the background. Overlaid text says: “These Scottish beaches were officially rated ‘excellent’. But they were polluted with human and animal waste.”

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

From mob grazing in Fife to wildlife-rich hedgerows in Berwickshire, many farmers show how farming can restore nature & cut emissions. 🐄

Farming may be Scotland’s 3rd largest greenhouse gas emitter, but it’s also part of the solution. 🌿

Scottish ministers are putting the finishing touches to a plan aimed at reducing planet-warming emissions.

Return to office mandates are not good for productivity. Focus on #momentsthatmatter instead of coming into the office X days a week

#RTO #hybridworking #WFH
This CEO says companies are getting hybrid wrong. It's not about mandating days in the office, he says.
Toptal CEO Taso Du Val advocates for an 80/20 hybrid model, in which employees work remotely 80% of the time, and meet at off-sites the other 20%.

Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.

The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.

The problem I see with thinking a party can include both trans people and transphobes is that the transphobes will NEVER agree to anything even remotely trans inclusive

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Just saw #theseagull at the #lyceum. Fantastic! Who'd have thought it - turns out plays by one of the most esteemed playwrights in the world are really enjoyable!

Must see more live theatre!

Over a thousand people have joined the Scottish Greens since the start of September. That's more than the total membership when I joined the party.

We are building a movement to take on the super-rich and fight for people & planet. Join us.

“It wasn’t immigrants who hiked anyone’s electricity bills. It wasn’t asylum seekers who increased anyone’s rent. Trans people didn’t make your weekly shopping more expensive.
