Married to Karen. I work in learning design. I teach sailing because I love sailing. I need good coffee and enjoy good whisky. I look forward to the day Scotland becomes independent, and it will.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The chancellor is taxing electric cars for the use they get of roads. But, petrol and diesel cars are taxed on the amount of environmental damage.
So fossil vehicles don’t pay for road use but electric cars do? And Horses and pushbikes don’t.
It’s a very confusing rationale.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

The Pedo-Protector Prez ordered a brand new distraction & the Dept. of War (actually the Dept. of Defense: a mini-distraction within a distraction, no extra charge!) is delivering by expanding our ongoing unlawful policy of randomly bombing the tiny boats of fishermen with no due process whatsoever.

That final point is absolutely crucial.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Sorry @theipaper.com but WHY is this guy talking to us about what will make the UK poorer? He was happy to grenade our economy twice…
Brexit and then his batshit budget with Truss.
He should be in political oblivion for the mess he made and the price we all have to pay for his party’s failures.

Scotland the oubliette? Very telling. Scotland is a place England uses when it needs something, but otherwise forgets.

Caithness is now expected to welcome disgraced paedophiles. Expect MANY protests!

The Tory media's shift from hysterically claiming that Starmer *did* intervene in the China spy case to hysterically claiming that Starmer *should* have intervened in the China spy case is a thing to behold.

Headlines like this are driving the rise of the right. This reads like the Robinson stop WAS illegal. Rather than the more accurate, Robinson’s lawyer CONTENDS that it was illegal. It’s not that hard.Shitty effort BBC.
