Letter #TheIrishTimes

This timely reminder from Carole Cadwalladr. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

After watching first ministers questions today it seems clear that both Tories and Labour have got nothing else but culture wars and demonising trans women you happy with that @monicalennon

As long as there are naive, gullible voters this will simply carry on and the masses will take the hit when things go wrong. Open your eyes to reality not the spin from politicians, rich/elite and their MSM.

JD Vance attacks Scottish abortion clinic buffer zone law, says it infringes religious freedom not to allow fundamentalist nutjobs to harrass women exercising their right to control their own bodies. That clown's far right politics are not wanted in Scotland. www.thenational.scot/news/2493772...

More job losses in Scotland as jobs are moved to Englandshire. Logistic issues ... you can see a pattern emerging. www.thescottishsun.co.uk/money/143346...

What frightens the British Establishment most is the prospect of an independent, progressive, prosperous Scotland being witnessed by the English electorate.

Hoped to give blood this week as it's Recess, but sadly I've been given a deferral due to health issues. The donor centre at Raigmore has asked me to share that they're looking for people - if anyone out there who doesn't usually donate can help balance the scale, please do ♥️🩸

Well observed. Sadly. It does tie into my support for Scottish independence. That’s not about wealth, it’s about a society that’s fairer, and a country getting governments which actually represent its needs.

This isn’t what I initially thought it was. It’s clever.

Unionists cynically choose to forget or deny this. And we have to sit in it.

I don’t buy the idea that the Gaza comments are designed to distract us from the coup. Because not long ago the same people said that the coup comments were designed to distract us from something else. He is chaotic *and* corrupt. There is no pattern or plan. Nothing is impossible.

Can I get an amen?

“When Labour negotiates our country loses” says Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs Imagine the shock when she finds out the last Tory Government negotiated the first deal in history which involved walling the country off from a trading block made up of its nearest neighbours youtu.be/Kqkvnk35Bls?...

Just a wee pic of my trip into work today

It’s great to see more organisations joining the nicer platform.

Maybe Sarwar and Baillie can spot what’s wrong with Reeves plan for growth.

Cunts.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

A very fair question. An unbiased media are a hugely important and noble part of the democratic process. But ours have long since stopped doing their job.

True. No hesitation. USA, I hope you regret the day you voted for Felon 47....... What worries me is how bad will it get before you realise your mistake? And by then, it may be too late to do anything because democracy has been suspended "temporarily." I hope you keep your toxic politics at home!

The Scottish Government has handled the messaging for this storm superbly. Ghost towns while folks heed the warnings, staying safe indoors, allowing the emergency services to deal with the expected major incidents of downed lines, trees, flooding, collapse buildings, roofs ripped off.

I have to say, BBC Scotland is failing to meet my dismally low expectations. 2 hours of drivetime and they couldn’t get Scottish Power on to update the 1000s of us with no power. Their helpful advice was “watch reporting Scotland”. Erm, how? I have no power…..

If it walks like rapist Talks like a rapist Acts like a rapist And is an adjudicated rapist… IT IS A RAPIST!

If you’re enraged & offended when a Bishop asks you to be merciful towards the powerless you have deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus. #Trump #BishopBudde
