Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

I've just caught up with Nick Robinson's interview with James Murray MP on #r4today. 1) Green energy isn't driving energy prices up. As Murray said, our high energy costs are down to reliance on foreign gas. We need more home grown renewables! Robinson seems keen to reopen UK coalmines... 1/

Dear @meidastouch.com network. There is a man pretending to be the First Minister of Scotland in your country. He hates Scotland and does everything in his power to denigrade Scotland and everyone who lives here. He is detested here, his political party supports geonocide and the far right.

Two days after the rent cap is lifted, my landlord has imposed an 11.3% increase. The third increase in three years. The flat? No factor. No services. Storm debris in garden. Building is fire damaged. Property rodent infested. Close door doesn't lock. (Enabled arson attack) Intercom system broken

One of the most frustrating things about this crisis is the continually poor communication with staff and students. Reading about what is likely to happen to you in the media creates such distrust in management.

You may have noticed I post lots of graphics on my page. I make them to promote independence for Scotland. I do not put my name on them, I make them to be used by others. I offer them freely for all to use (unless for commercial purposes) Save them, share them.

Good question. The answer is that Labour ideology is at fault. They are driven by McSweeney's and Starmer's obsession to win right wing votes to secure a second term. They have lost their party principles to this ambition. At least in Scotland we have a real progressive party alternative. The SNP.
