Remembering the late Actor, Clive Swift (9 February 1936 – 1 February 2019)

Labour taking the Meatloaf approach. "I'll do anything for growth, but I won't do that!" 👇

Wonderful marbled papers at the Ends of books. So beautiful

If you want to follow more #FBPE and #RejoinEU accounts, this is a very useful and growing list. You can pin lists to your home page, which is something I find very useful. bsky.app/profile/did:...

‘Mutual free movement’ for UK and EU citizens supported by 84% of Brits, in stunning new poll Omnisis poll suggests opposition to free movement was based on lack of awareness and the UK government failing to enforce the rules yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

#LibDems 🔶🔶🔶🔶 Reminder: 72 Lib Dem MPs are campaigning in parliament for: Waspi Women to gain compensation #Waspi Triple-lock Pensions to be kept #Pensions Winter Fuel Payments to be kept #WinterFuelPayments Two-Child Benefit Cap to be removed #TwoChildBenefitCap

In former Tory strongholds, where Reform stand & the Labour vote share collapsing & where the Lib Dems vote share was previously circa 15% plus, there seems to be a pattern of Reform vs Lib Dem battles forming. So to a #TacticalVote for the #LibDems in these seats may keep #Reform from winning.

Brexit making the headlines.

It's getting a little North Korean around here.

Labour's Anas Sarwar says he’s open to working with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK ‘on a case-by-case basis' to become First Minister of Scotland. Vote Sarwar, get Farage.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏 LETS DO THIS!

Looks like Labour members have different red lines from Starmer.

My government is right behind the renewable energy revolution which is bringing jobs and investment all over Scotland. Anas Sarwar wants me to support ultra-expensive nuclear plants, but let me make this crystal clear: we will not be doing that. The future is with renewables.

🥀 Before the Westminster election, Labour promised to save Grangemouth - they’ve broken that promise. 👇

blatant, awful and frankly terrifying

We live in a world where the US President has threatened tariffs and flirted with the idea of trade wars. We must show Trump that the UK has alternatives and won’t be bullied into taking whatever he offers us- to do that, we need a closer, stronger relationship with Europe.

Sold my Tesla today after 5 years of ownership. With Musk’s daily outrages, his butchery of respectful public discourse and his association with the fascist right, I could drive it no longer. I will never own another.

I never judge anyone based on who they are, only how they treat others 🙂

+11 seats

Labour claim to be the best alternative to the SNP, but the Scottish public feel they are being let down by their Government in Westminster. Read my column this week in @thescotsmanpaper.bsky.social: www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

I met the RSPB outside parliament yesterday to hear about the Scottish Seabird Conservation Action Plan.

The Liberal Democrats have secured investment in Scottish Colleges for an offshore wind skills programme. It’ll be good for Scottish workers and for renewable energy.

Last week I met with representatives from the EIS at their stall in Holyrood to talk about their current campaign priorities, including additional support needs and behaviour in schools.

This is so good.

Labour is taking steps towards better EU cooperation, but there are still limits. Red lines remain in place, and we need a more ambitious approach to restore lost opportunities.

Lib Dem priorities will now be backed by hundreds of millions of government investment. 🔶A new Belford Hospital in Fort William and Eye Pavilion in Edinburgh 🔶Help for babies born addicted to drugs 🔶Extra funding for social care 🔶Winter fuel payment to pensioners

Farewell to the Actor Brian Murphy who passed away at the age of 92. R.I.P Brian 😇🙏

A very sad day. God bless you Brian 😇🙏

We live in a world where the US President has threatened tariffs and flirted with the idea of trade wars. We must show Trump that the UK has alternatives and won’t be bullied into taking whatever he offers us- to do that, we need a closer, stronger relationship with Europe.

I like our new Lib Dem graphic 👇 Lib Dem plan for growth: - new UK-EU customs Union - turbocharge our economy - Trump proof our economy

The UK needs to lead in Europe again. We can't rely on Trump, and Labour hasn't shown the urgency or ambition to fix our relationship with our closest neighbours. A UK-EU customs union is the first step repairing that relationship. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-cost-starme…

Cracking team out for Marthos in Kirkintilloch today! 🔶🔶🔶

On this day in 1982 ABBA’s single “One Of Us” entered the charts in South Africa where it reached number 4 #Abba #OneOfUs #SouthAfrica abbafansblog.blogspot.com/2017/01/23rd...

This was astonishing. Stellar cast, you forget you aren’t actually watching the real Dylan, Baez or Seeger. Just so, so good.

At PMQs I challenged the Prime Minister to drop his opposition to a new UK-EU customs union. With Donald Trump threatening trade wars, we should rebuild ties with our European neighbours and tear down the trade barriers and red tape hurting British businesses.

A couple of years ago I took over a school and needed to do a tax return. HMRC chased me and would not close my tax year because I owed them money. 2p Oh to be a billionaire. 🤷‍♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
