Erm. Food, wine, nature, Scotland independence, rejoin EU, rugby. Just stuff.
This would be unbelievable if it weren’t so believable
The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives.

Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity.

We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.
Scottish Child Payment | Food Insecurity | Deprivation
New analysis shows the Scottish child payment sharply reduces child deprivation and food insecurity, with no evidence of work disincentives. Discover the findings.

“Scotland’s working class won’t be silenced” ?!?!
How f@@king thick are you? A 22% turnout. If you don’t get out and exercise your vote, this populist BS will happen more and more across the country.

The Swiss Government has rejected using Palantir saying it presents devastating security risks.

Why are we using it?

Someone told me that the FIFA ‘peace prize’ has been named the Bellend d’Or.

Perfect.

This is what Brexit is costing the UK economy every second. This is a live display why are @labourhame.com and @teamlabouruk.bsky.social not making plans to rejoin the EU?

Palantir CEO Alex Karp laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI.

He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.

But there is only one terrorist here, Palantir are war criminals.

"Now That's What You Call Good News, 2025!"...

Sadly, pretty much ignored by our mainstream (propaganda) medias.

Vote Independence, please, and let's get broadcasters and publishers that serve us instead of the 5th columnists that we now have.

I wish I had a milkshake stand in Falkirk. I’d be coining it in atm.
Farage is not going to Falkirk in order to condemn those who intimidate and terrify migrants and asylum seekers – he’s going there in order to stoke up community divisions with the aim of furthering his own agenda, writes Paul Kavanagh ✍️

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

There’s a nice analogy of the UK; 2 ships roped side by side, 1 slightly bigger but with a much larger crew, the other has more sails. The small ship has wind in its sails but has to go where the big ship goes. The ropes binding the ships together are creaking as the turbulent winds are picking up.

The upcoming Holyrood election might not be a referendum but it’s probably the most important one since devolution.

With Westminster imploding and their Scottish sub-parties dragging Scotland’s progress down at every turn we can’t afford to let them anywhere near Holyrood.

This one really matters.
