Compare and contrast the plutocratic US government's grotesque help for the richest... with social democratic Britain. Like night and day.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

The video below demonstrates the fantastic tool that @harryjwilliams.bsky.social has developed to show #Edinburgh planning applications. 👏 What a great product. www.city-scope.co.uk/planning-upd... Spotted in @edi.bike’s weekly digest - also worth a follow.

Thoroughly enjoyed Department Q on Netflix. Great performances all round (though bafflingly bad in-car scene in last episode. Last minute addition?). Hopefully more Q to come.

I love how this is so much like a big budget American version of the Boris/Cummings break-up.

Hmmm. If it has a throttle and no pedalling is required then it’s an electric motorbike.

Disappointed with result of BBC Scotland Home of the Year result. I think the judges forgot they were judging a home not an architectural masterpiece. The winner should have been the wee Edinburgh flat. #SHOTY

The answer is not putting unnecessary burdensome requirements onto cyclists & it won’t help with the high risk e-bikes which are already illegal. Deal with sellers of unsafe batteries. Make exploitative Uber & Deliveroo responsible for safety of their riders’ bikes. @meghillier.bsky.social

Extremely disappointed to see Labour effectively fabricating figures and quoting me as a source. When my (simple, full election, not a by-election prediction) model had Labour narrowly ahead of the SNP, I was not yet showing Reform figures. I have never published anything with these exact figures.

I agree with this assessment. I had many more "followers" in the other place, but for a long time little engagement. I couldn't easily interact with what I wanted to or find those who were interested in my offerings. I'm far happier with the Bluesky experience with 1/10th number of paper followers 💙

Foundation of Hearts overwhelmingly support the new share issue and USG win the Belgian League. Brighton finish 8th in the Premier League above many heavyweights. A very good couple of days for Tony Bloom. #JamTarts

This is/was published in The Telegraph but has now been deleted. Much speculation someone spoofed a regular Torygraph contributor and submitted a fake article.

Tony Bloom will be a relatively happy man as Brighton finish 8th. Especially when there’s plenty heavyweights below them. #JamTarts
