'When you reflect on how the US is allowing a convicted felon to flush the world order down the toilet, courtesy of a handful of voters in a small number of small-population "swing states", you despair.' A C Grayling, via @bylinetines.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025...

Sarwar now, in interviews, is the equivalent on an injured animal in the wild. The predators have marked him, hopefully, his tame interviews are over. #TheLyinKing

Wow! The contrast in body language between Macron & Trump! Macron is sitting upright, engaged & animated as he calmly corrects the giant orange baby, while said baby sits with his shoulders slumped, looking at the floor. I remember my kids looking like Trump there, whenever I had to tell them off 🤣

Yip

Without friends

If private prayer inside someone's home really was criminalised under this legislation an Art 9 ECHR challenge would seem to be a slam dunk, yet AFAIK no challenge to the competence of the Act has been raised. Ask yourself why.

GB Energy project 'could take 20 years to deliver new jobs' in Scotland No shit Sherlock! news.sky.com/video/gb-ene...

So, world leaders gathered yesterday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Putin was justifiably uninvited. Trump spent the day ranting about water on social media and sent the special envoy to the Middle East and the secretary of commerce instead Respect? None !

Working on getting those prices down I see.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Gotta love the British press.

No lies told in this headline.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

And again: Governments of sovereign states like Labour at Westminster don't need to "balance the books". Yet Reeves continues with that neoliberal tripe to justify political choices.

Terribly sorry to hear of the death of Denis Law - an inspiring footballer of immense skill and talent. His record of scoring goals for Scotland made a special place for him in all of our hearts. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

We could start by banning Musk and everything he owns.

In case there was any doubt... Labour in Scotland is not a "Scottish party". 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScottishIndependence search.electoralcommission.org.uk/Api/Accounts...

Sums it up nicely.

Yes, he really does!

"When America sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. And some, I assume, are good people." --Greenland

You do have to laugh...plus mr musk sure seems to have fully lost the plot www.bbc.com/news/article...

For those of you who are not in the other place The battle of the face eating leopards continues Nigel Farage now having to defend himself after Musk hints that Farage isn’t the man for the job This is the problem with the far right they always want more and more intolerance & extremism.

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

Aurora in Angus tonight

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

Amen

Gisele Pelicot: all 51 men found guilty What an incredible woman. I’ll say it again… 51 men

If a Labour Minister insists that the Scottish Govt is only protection against Westminster’s harshness then so it must be in perpetuity through independence.

Surprising interviewee choice on #bbcgms with neither ex-party adviser (Labour or Tory) backing #waspiwomen's substantial case. No sign of Sarwar or Liz Kendall's astonishing admission the Scottish Govt is only protection against WM harshness. Today's column; www.thenational.scot/politics/248...

Anticipating the visceral response of Scotland’s 300,000 betrayed Waspi women, when Scottish Labour eventually come out of hiding and tell them to “calm down dear”

As sure as night follows day Labour try and make their own catastrophic policy decisions into SNP bad.

Labour have well and truly screwed the proverbial pooch on this one.

First the UK Labour government have cut winter heating payments for pensioners, and now they’re denying WASPI women what they’re due. Quite simply, this is a betrayal.

Ooh Labour - the last people you want to deck over are the post menopausal empty nesters …. We really have nothing to lose!!!

Labour made empty promises to the WASPI women prior to the election. How many more groups of people will they betray?

Hi folks, just a friendly heads up to check if Craig R Britain is following you. I didn’t know who he was. Read his wiki and act accordingly. Stay safe.
