Very smart piece from Adam, particularly this summary at the end: "4 years ago [...] people were excited to go and vote for Sturgeon. To get to that position, she also had to do and say things which meant some people were excited to go and vote against her."

In Hamilton yesterday, I overheard a Labour canvasser begging someone not to vote, rather than vote SNP to stop Reform: novaramedia.com/2025/06/06/r...

Voters in Hamilton were - well, kinda bored. There is lots to learn here for the Left.

Totally unscientific, but I reckon I spoke to around 100 people in Hamilton and Stonehouse today. Only two told me they’d voted/be voting Reform. More told me they were voting against them. (see my thoughts on @novaramedia and @bellacaledonia tomorrow)

Britain should obviously leave NATO - and the Five Eyes - while Trump is in the White House. The idea we should remain in a nuclear armed, intelligence sharing relationship with this US regime is very dangerous, and @zackpolanski.bsky.social is 100% right to want new arrangements.

This is the Brexit its funders wanted.

Currently reading my Dad’s account of when he first got wild boar, and it turned out the alpha ‘male’ was intersex. Just, you know, FYI.

Why are British troops still propping up the despotic Sultan of Brunei?

What a great story about beavers in Scotland! Worth a look

@mikeparker.bsky.social hello! It’s been a while but we used to chat on the other place, back in the day. I’m coming to Aberystwyth with two wee girls - any tips?

England really is a nation of strangers but not for the reasons Keir Starmer suggested this week, argues Adam Ramsay

England is a lonely nation. But not because of immigration - indeed, immigration might be the solution: www.bylinesupplement.com/p/island-of-... me for @bylinetimes.bsky.social
