Here's what's included in the Baby Box every bairn born in Scotland gets. Thank you @snp.org #YouYesNow #IndyClan? It's TIME for #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2019...And still not a single blue tent has been erected anywhere near 'Dark Money Ruth'

I've been wanting to paint cats for years whilst staying true to my style and also capturing the contradiction between feline aloofness and poise that I adore. This is the result - available on my website, here: wgsaraband.com/expressionis... "Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald" 70x100cm, acrylic on canvas

12 years since this legend ripped Margaret Thatcher apart.

“Yes, you’re quite right son, your chicken does smell like a swimming pool.” #DumpTrump

My latest article on the dangers of Sunak and Starmer's deregulated free zones is free to read via The Canary @thecanaryuk.bsky.social Freeports: what are they, and why did Labour sign off on them with the Tories? www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Spent the morning speaking at the European Parliament on UK-EU relations (and broader trade issues). Lot of enthusiasm for stronger ties, probably more than one tends to find in other Brussels institutions. Will post my remarks when I get a moment.

Deform,what a bunch of English nationalist nazi bnp EDL KKK UKIP Brexit party cunts

Reeves really is a nasty nyaff When the attitude of the Labour chancellor in Westminster is so disgraceful why the hell does anyone want to remain in an ever failing union that is dragging Scotland down with it www.thenational.scot/news/2507371...

How cool is that?

Fabulous!

Feck arrogance. Get us out of this UK ASAP!! Rachel Reeves mocks Scottish MP for raising concerns about economy www.thenational.scot/news/2507371...

I just signed the campaign calling Keir Starmer to stand firm in protecting British food and animal welfare standards in trade deals act.38degrees.org.uk/act/No-chlor...

Rigby, I fan girled Davidson. And Sarwar was ridiculed on his Trump statement 🙄.

Today in 2013, Margaret Thatcher stopped using up the planet's precious air.

"It's never been more important to make Scotland’s connections to the EU real I’m proud to be supporting #YesforEU & @europeforscotland.bsky.social in their efforts & glad to be part of this important delegation to keep in touch with our friends across the EU" www.thenational.scot/news/2507020...

I am going to get my act together and fully migrate to BlueSky. I want to use all social media to promote my book. There's no point doing this much work and let it be lost inall the noise. People need to know it exists, then make the choice of whether to buy and read it. I'm grateful for any shares.

@scg1.bsky.social CHINA LAUNCHES GLOBAL DIGITAL PAYMENT NETWORK BYPASSING SWIFT The People's Bank of China just connected its digital RMB to 10 ASEAN and 6 Middle Eastern nations, covering *38% of global trade*. This bypasses SWIFT and the US dollar entirely. Payments now clear in 7 seconds.

It's always the ones you most expect. Never a drag Queen or trans-woman.

One Tomas Szuchewycz thinks it’s clever to promote electoral reform by swamping ballots with fake candidates, inevitably resulting in voter confusion and distorted results. It says here it’s so clever that one will promote retaining first past the post forever, to keep nutbars out like him out. 🙄

Of course the neofascist traitor Preston Manning’s front organization invites one of Trump’s top trade ghouls to be a keynote speaker at their conference. Don’t forget, this organization is THE Conservative brain bank for all of Canada. 🍁🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼🍁

How the SNP is saving lives by preventing the NHS privatisation England now faces: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/01/07/r...

Wes Streeting wants to sack 100,000 NHS staff. He could do that. But he will make it hopelessly inefficient and vastly less productive as a result. It's as if Labour wants to sacrifice everything of value - and all for the sake of Rachel Reeves' spreadsheet. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Thanks for being our FM.

I’ve signed!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This has similarities with my own child abuse by my parents. To “convert” me I had table spoons of chilli powder shoved down my throat. Amongst other things. I stand in solidarity with my trans community as they face the same horrors. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Useful list to avoid.

Labour & Tory PFI schemes will cost Scotland £544 million in 2025/26. That’s money ripped from public services to line private pockets - pushing up Council Tax across the country. We scrapped PFI. Labour want to bring it back. Don’t let them.

Donald Trump "Gaza is an incredible piece of real estate." "Controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a great thing." The ICC needs to put out an arrest warrant for Donald Trump too.

Eep. 👀 It's all so very 1984 in Trumplethinskin's USA. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
