It's no bother if you can't, but if you can afford to chip in that would be immense. We'll still bring you stories about and affect Scotland. We're all volunteers fighting for #CitizenJournalism!

Ed Davey, "Our closest ally, the United States, is now supporting Russia, removing itself from the defence of Europe and the UK" "We've got to make the defence of our country our top priority"

Just outrageous - nearly £4 billion "excess profit" pocketed by privatised energy networks while YOUR bills went up Energy transmission and distribution is a natural monopoly and other countries recognise this PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW ⚡️🔥 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Brits don't trust politicians. Could a Welsh plan to ban lying in politics help turn that around?

We’ve spent the last ten days out Benmore Botanic Garden helping them clean up some of the devastation caused by Storm Eowyn. It’s been really satisfying work and really nice to help them out. youtu.be/cd-J0n9TGX4?...

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax. Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years. This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

This is Beluga Point along Turnagain Arm 2 winters ago near high tide. It seems I never made the timelapse after taking the photos until now. 🤪 We had a lot more snow 2 winters ago.

Wake up, Scotland!

Lisa Murkowski really is a wimp, and a pathetic brown nose IMO. I expected more of her. I'm just thankful we left Alaska, and the US, last week!
