America joins the axis of evil.

If the German exit poll is accurate then a good result for democracy and Europe. Afd not getting above 20% - their ceiling? - is good news while Scholz's humiliation is no surprise and just reward for being utterly useless. Back to the CDU it is then.

I've done my part in the German federal elections by postal ballot to keep the fascists out, hoping everyone else follows suit.

This is completely and utterly wrong. Scotland stands with Ukraine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

🧵 When I said my government would leave no stone unturned to find the solutions to secure Grangemouth’s future, I meant it. I’ve just set out some measures to Parliament seeking to protect workers and secure Grangemouth’s future. Here’s a thread 👇 1/8

Where is the Western Alliance, the cornerstone of our foreign and security policies since 1945, going under Trump? Anywhere good?

Brilliant

Es ist Zeit, die Demokratie zu Unterstützen.

More evidence, if evidence is needed, that Labour is truly shit at politics. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What will it take for the political chatterati to start ignoring Elon Musk?

It is January 1st and already the political metaphor of the year.

Is anyone suggesting yet that the airplane crash in Korea was pilot suicide?

America failed Jimmy Carter. Rest in peace.

NEW: Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died at the age of 100. He was elected in the 1976 presidential election for a single term. He enjoyed a remarkable post-presidency, based on philanthropy. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

👏👏👏

What more evidence does anyone need that this Labour lot are simply terrible at governance? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Every word of this. There is a crisis coming in UK politics, Labour as decrepit after 4 years in power as the Tories were after 14 and about to lose big and Farage poised to become Prime Minister. Is that the scenario that will bring Scottish independence? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you want a masterclass in how not to present data I give you this seen on LinkedIn

Noone can Danny this

Ah, nuts. I can’t sell this Batman sketch (it has a tiny dot of ink on the border) so RT and follow to win it. I’ll pick the winner tomorrow at 2pm. Good luck!

57 eh? That might explain some things.

Thank goodness Scotland has the SNP and today's polling strongly suggests that Scots have seen through Starmer and Sarwar.

These ones @gregmoodie.bsky.social

Every time I come to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, I love to spend time in front of Alexander Moffat’s “Poets' Pub”. It is a truly captivating and imagined portrait. If you could recommission it, which Scottish Bairds would you include!? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨

This may be controversial but as a German citizen I find this disgusting. The German state smacked the wrist of SS Generals and worse offenders during the 40s, 50s and 60s but now they ruthlessly pursue a 100y old and others who were small fry. It's embarrassing. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Interesting. The most Brexity farmers were in Scotland, the only country in the UK where every region, including the rural ones, voted to remain. Why? Genuine question.

This is me. My terrible memory for names is like a disease and very specific, I can remember everything else.

Big Pharma developed lots of drugs and a way of frequently switching them to stave off resistance that means that people can live with AIDS for a very long time but apparently people are dying of AIDS because of - checks notes - ah, yes, Big Pharma.
