What’s Scotland supposed to do? Consult Nostradamus to find out how we have another referendum?
Rachel Reeves says that even if the SNP wins a majority on its own at Holyrood the UK government will still not permit another vote.
It’s a democratic outrage

If you ever have to get top up insurance for a young driver, don't bother with Veygo
Tay crashed my car 3 weeks ago. These jokers havent even got it out of storage yet.
£750 excess, no customer service, no sense of urgency.
It is so bad it borders on a scam.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Quite bizarre. Why turn away from the very thing that has made teen vogue relevant.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.
Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.
Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

Very disappointing to see such political interference in the curriculum. Whatever one might think about aspects of the existing curriculum (and I certainly have my own criticisms of it), it must be remembered that many individuals and communities gave their time and expertise in its development.
Don't see the new Aotearoa NZ histories curriculum online yet. But Act are already crowing about having gutted it.

Today is a good day to remind everyone that the US narrative claiming the President of Venezuela is a drug trafficker is 100% lies. The Trump administration knows this, the Nobel committee knows this... it is a campaign to manufacture consent for invasion. Don't fall for it.

Universities have been saying that the cross subsidy model doesn't work. We have been saying it for some time.
So... um... why are politicians and policy makers surprised that the sector is in free fall?
Universities did *not* make this mess. But my god we are bearing the brunt.
