In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

UK competition regulator fines Citi, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank £100m for breaching competition law. All have history of abuses. No one prosecuted, no personal fines. Puny fines don't deter, will be passed to customers.

If you’re on Audible, you can listen to me reading books which can radically change your perception of Scots language, culture & identity. They are also engaging and entertaining.https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B09LXPTTFY/?source_code=AUKFrDlWS02231890H6-BK-ACX0-285098&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_285098_rh_uk

I'm very rarely outright nasty online, but for Trump and his zealots, I reserve the right to make an exception.
