First it was kids in low income households, then pensioners, then Waspi women, then Grangemouth workers, now Labour will punish the disabled and the chronically ill. Funny how it's never the rich who suffer when Starmer makes one of his "tough choices". www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Outrageous scenes in Sofia where our EU office has been vandalised. In Europe, we exercise the right to demonstrate in a peaceful way. Violence and vandalism are never the answer.

It doesn't matter what Sarwar promises, his credibility is shot, and we all know Starmer keeps him on a leash.

Also some literal ghosts. Guestrow in Aberdeen sounds quite innocuous, welcoming even, until you realise it is a corruption of 'Ghaist' [Ghost] row, and leads to the cemetery...

This is not just the USA. What can we do if facing authoritarianism? 1. Anchor in your strength of soul from within. 2. Learn critical thinking to evaluate truth & values. 3. Communicate across political garden fences. 4. Counterpoint cruelty with kindness. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

I wrote One in Ten to add my voice to those raising awareness about endometriosis. The stunning & brutal illustration that accompanies the track was made by Somhairle MacDonald - it’s in full colour in the album artwork. jennbutterworth.ffm.to/oneinten #flares #endometriosis #womeninmusic

Even the smallest library is already relevant to its community. Was in one recently where a vulnerable citizen was there alone, doing a jigsaw. The librarian took over a book she thought he might like, called him by his name, and I wondered where he would have been that day, without the library.

"Scotland would go from having the most expensive electricity in Europe, to the cheapest" Wait till Kaye Adams finds this out. Though I'm not holding my breath for the phone in about this.

A professor was lecturing to his English class: “In English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, a double negative is still a negative. However, there's no language where in a double positive can form a negative.” A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”

The Scottish government protects Scottish bairns as far as possible on our stupid fixed budget. £594m a year used to mitigate Westminster policies. We pay twice. We need the fiscal levers and borrowing powers of an independent nation. #YouYesNow #IndyClan? It's TIME for #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As usual, Musk gets basic facts wrong - Trudeau is PM until his party elects a replacement leader. And Canadians' massive opposition to joining the US goes way beyond one person.

Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage said there would be no downsides to leaving the EU. What we got was a smaller economy, less trade, less choice, dearer food and clothing and more complex and more expensive travel. Let’s rejoin #ScottishIndependence bylines.scot/brexit/europ...
