The BBC's Director-General has expressed strong concerns about misinformation and disinformation, calling them a threat to democracy and even people's lives. I get most of my misinformation and disinformation from BBC Scotland. @bbcuk.bsky.social

I have never encountered a leading politician who is as spectacularly bad at politics as Starmer. He's tone deaf, emotionally illiterate, and a principle free vacuum who is the creature of the hideous centre-right entryist ghouls of Labour Together

Can you imagine. All those countries who broke free from Westminster. I don’t believe one of them was stopped because independence was seen as a “reserved matter”.

@hamishhawk.bsky.social Hi. Not something I would normally do but maybe you could help spread the word about this. www.justgiving.com/page/john-mc... John has become a bit of an unofficial HH ambassador in The Netherlands since seeing you in Amsterdam. He came in search of Travis but left with you!

Scotland "The UK is trying to break us so England (the UK) can own us. They want our land. They want our resources. They want our water. They want our country. Oh wait, they already have it.." #ScottishIndependence

Who would not want to remove themselves from such toxicity of a regime that denigrates the poor & the disabled? When I travel & asked if I am British, I'm at pains to point out that I am Scottish & never British. That distinction is becoming rather popular now in Europe. Will you join those numbers?

I visited the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library in Indianapolis today. These are the only photos I took.

I’ve been dragging myself onto the train at sparrow’s fart most mornings lately - because apparently my life choices have ruled out sleep as a viable option - and it’s been surprisingly enlightening.

Mike Walz - the actual National Security Advisor for the United States - included a journalist from @theatlantic.com into a Signal group in which they discussed an actual military operation (and slagged off Europe in the process)? How are we at the point now where this is not surprising? (A 🧵)

Imagine deciding to force disabled people to sit in their own shit cos you don't want to increase taxes on the super-rich & calling yourself the Labour Party. I'd say shame on Starmer & the Labour MPs who enable him, but those soulless goons have no shame. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Hi @fitbatweets.bsky.social Meant to send you this some time ago. Something reminded me today.

The transatlantic alliance and NATO are over. Scotland's future is with 500 million other Europeans. Scotland has nothing to gain & everything to lose by shackling itself to a delusional UK that robs us of our natural wealth & refuses to accept the new geopolitical reality.

President Zelenskyy of #Ukraine is being deluged by - and retweeting - support from European leaders following the shocking #Trump thuggery in the Oval Office today. Europe is upping its game. One significant name missing from the supportive messages thus far: Keir Starmer.
