2 hearts left behind on the wild, magical Isle of Rona. One, a little piece of Lewisian gneiss lying on the track near to the ‘turn off’ for Church Cave and the other a slice of birch on the mantle piece in “our” house at Dry Harbour. Precious ❤️❤️

It’s worth sitting for a minute with the knowledge that Morgan McSweeney received three quarters of a million pounds to subvert democracy and it’s only a scandal because he didn’t fill in the forms correctly.

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor.

What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig

The Prime Minister is hoping that a state visit from a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein will dial down the furore surrounding the Prime Minister’s decision to promote a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s probably the best chance he’s got.

#DouglasAlexander defending Starmer’s appointment of #PeterMandelson is sickening in the extreme.

His predecessor, Ian Murray was loyal to a fault. He sold his soul and he sold out Scotland and Starmer sacked him! Not quite ‘boot-licky’ enough it seems!

It wasn’t the SNP who attacked the poorest pensioners, then lied that the poorest pensioners would still get the WFA! Or betrayed the WASPI women, or the poorest kids or the disabled!

@melanieward.bsky.social Melanie Ward was given the ‘honour’ of asking her boss a question at PMQs today allowing him to denigrate the ‘SNP Scottish Government’ . One or 2 of his ‘useful Scottish Labour idiots’ are given this ‘honour’ every week!

What Farage’s British Bill of Rights really means for your freedoms

Nigel Farage says he wants to replace the UK Human Rights Act with a so-called “British Bill of Rights.”

But let’s be clear: this is not about protecting freedoms. It’s about removing them.

Ta!Da! #KirsteenSullivan MP for Bathgate & Linlithgow is Starmer’s ‘Scottish’ Labour idiot at PMQs today! Standing up to ask him a prearranged question allowing him to denigrate the ‘SNP Government’ with no right of reply!! Because Labour run England and Wales is doing SO well!!!
Utterly shameful.
