Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social told the Morning Star: "Private firms are taking as much as 30 - 40% profit from their NHS contracts, every penny of which detracts from the rebuilding of the NHS after Tory austerity and 25+ years of outsourcing." 👇 morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gmb-...

They were at the negotiating table, Ursula! They weren’t the ones that pulled out of the JCPOA! Experts say they were not going for the bomb! Is the EU going to sanction Israel and the US for their violations of international law?

Irans nuclear programme was under control. There was a functioning international agreement. It was destroyed by a megalomaniac who has stripped his country's wealth for his private profit. Scottish Government has the power to strip this tyrant of some of his hoarded wealth.

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

Yes. It's Barra Berry season. That means my son is wandering around with a strawberry and homemade whipped on a fork yelling " I love cream" and giggling. We're gonna eat the whole punnet. It will be good.

Most rich dickheads are never going to leave a cool city just because you raise their taxes or elect socialists or whatever because cities are where all the fun stuff is and they know it

I cannot emphasize enough how needlessly cruel the UK immigration system is to ordinary people who want a family life together and aren't well-off already, and anyone wanting to make it worse should be shunned.

You know, I don't have a problem with sexual harassment being something that permanently disqualifies someone from holding public office.

My village hosts their permanent infrastructure...and somehow, we can't afford a Dr surgery, a bus service, a community hall, a pub/cafe/third space, functioning roads, and soon we'll lose our sheltered housing. Where's the Just Transition?

Just one day left to respond to @abshirecouncil.bsky.social's consultation on sheltered housing. 17 complexes are proposed for closure, with limited alternatives available - in the midst of a housing emergency! This could devastate lives. Make your views known here: engage.aberdeenshire...

It should go without saying but Iran has absolutely gigantic oil and gas reserves just in case you're trying to trick yourself into thinking the reason for this shit is something different from literally any other colonial project in the middle east

Dude's wanted a military parade for himself for years and he finally makes it happen and turnout is worse than at a medium sized city's farmers market on a rainy day while like 2% of the entire country went out to protest his bullshit

My fav posts are when people living in Britain critique the US for doing...British things. (At least the Americans have the gumption to protest this shit) youtu.be/6sM7LVJPJOU?...

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Truly love that NHS Grampian is so under resourced that they're monitoring how much damage my condition is doing to my liver instead of just doing the surgery that is almost guaranteed to stop the liver (and other organ) damage.

Filling out school forms for Nursery, giggling to myself. I'm a monoglot immigrant. My polyglot British born, British citizen husband is the reason our son is on the stats as "language other than English spoken at home". Even when you don't count the Shetlan or Doric!

My community has two SSEN substations, thousands of planned MW of generation and storage (each of which need substations). We don't have a bus, a GP, a cafe, a pub, and might soon have our elderly residents evicted. Maggie is the only politician listening to us.

Scot Pol is suffering because we have two religious factions instrad of multiple parties: The Christian Nationalists: Believe they are God's tool to smite the whores, the queers and the weirds. The Invisible Hands: Sacrifice enough vulnerable people and corporate gods will bless you w/ charity

One side is forcing a dead woman to have a baby that might not even survive and the other side is refusing to throw LGBTQ folks under the bus. Is now a good time to stop the “both sides” bs or nah?

Abortion access is healthcare. Reproductive rights must not be the next target of the right!

The far right are coming for abortion in the UK. People said it would never happen. But it is a natural consequence of the reactionafu anti-feminist politics we have allowed to fester - even if it has been dressed up as "sex-based rights". Time to fight back. www.thenational.scot/news/2519525...

Me: Providing habitat or food to wildlife in your home is bad for the animals. Also me: The robin couple who live in my garage have learned to track me down and wait for me to open the door or window for access. Has a bird ever watched you through the kitchen window making your 4am coffee? Creepy

Putting side the environmental crisis for a second... We're in a cost of living crisis partially due to the impact of soaring oil prices-which were inflated not by market forces but greed and profiteering. Tax the profiteers, stop killing the vulnerable!

Yesterday we shared news that no sheltered housing units would be closed in Aberdeenshire. The initial @pressandjournal.co.uk report was then corrected. Some facilities may still be closed. This is unacceptable. These services must be protected. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aber...

BREAKING NEWS‼️ Health officials have said that NO Aberdeenshire sheltered housing facilities will close. This will be a huge relief to staff and residents! Our rural communities and the vulnerable cannot face this anxiety again. A funded plan is needed. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aber...
