RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

Totally agree! Apparently there is talk of the King inviting him to Balmoral. No,no,no I will be one of many Scots I'm sure who will take to the streets in protest!

Train fares in Scotland are among the most expensive in Europe. The Scottish Parliament’s vote to keep peak rail fares is a hammer blow for commuters who deserve cheaper, accessible travel.

We should tax the rich, not cut foreign aid. Repost of you agree.

PM keeps saying cutting aid budget was a “hard decision”. Rubbish, it was an easy cowardly decision - those feeling impacts are 1000s of miles away & won’t trouble him. A harder decision might have been to stand up to vested interests who oppose a wealth tax - but it would’ve been right thing to do

Brilliant description of gardening for all not just those withADHD. “…in a garden more than anywhere, understand that life is about patience and that hiding in plain sight in the galaxy of distractions are countless little miracles you can lose yourself in:a mere snowdrop or the first yellow flower”

I feel very strongly that Musk should be removed as a fellow. I have no scientific credibility - I don't need any to see this situation objectively. I wish government and others would stand up to disgusting, dangerous behaviours which impact so many.

Totally agree. It is ridiculous to follow the USA action. What a mean, thoughtless action which will result in even more global conflict. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social are behaving just like @ukconservatives.bsky.social and that is definitely not what voters want. @sarahchampers.bsky.social

With the US now voting with Russia, Belarus and N Korea at the UN, this is a good time to read or re-read the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Russia, UK and US made clear commitments to Ukraine in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons. Six bullet points, read them. treaties.un.org/doc/Publicat...

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Trump sank to new depths with his tirade of disinformation about President Zelenskyy. (Fact checker here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...) @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right, all of the UK must stand firmly with Ukraine against Trump's dangerous propaganda, taken direct from Putin's playbook.

“Labour’s central mission should be not just faster growth but also fairer growth,” Never a truer word spoken by Harry Quilter-Pinner. Fairness is essential and spreading any growth equally. The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer is a recipe for disaster.

Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Has Nigel Farage - or anyone from Reform - said whether they thinks Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a dictator yet?

In days like these it is worth remembering that: a) Russia invaded Ukraine, b) Russia had previously given security guarantees to Ukraine that it would not threaten or use military force or economic coercion. It's time for European leaders to stand with Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini

extremely ‘I write editorial comment for the FT’ voice. Completely agree with this and also feel like it’s in part a manifestation of how UK has turned inwards. Even much of the political class seems unaware of how important and significant all this is for UK prosperity and security.

The protests that have taken place this week have been utterly shameful. I am grateful to Police Scotland for acting quickly. Everybody deserves access to healthcare without harassment. That is why I introduced my Act, and why these disgraceful protests are now illegal.

Absolutely agree with @johnswinney.bsky.social on all counts. However the reduction in energy costs must happen sooner rather than later. As someone who has ground source heat pump, solar panels, solar thermal and EV theoretically I should be saving money-I’m not but I’m trying. @scottishgreens.org

Some of the most shameful comments uttered by a president in my lifetime. Trump is siding with the aggressor, blaming the victim. In the Kremlin they must be jumping for joy. I’d like to hope Republicans, who used to believe in resisting tyranny, would disavow the things Trump is saying & doing.

UK energy bills forecast to rise 5% from April. Add to this inflation-busting rises in water, phone, internet and more., people feel helpless. Can't grow economy with depleted household incomes. Must curb profiteering, impose windfall taxes. Ofgem protects companies, not people.

"I call on my former colleagues – those who still believe in the values of integrity and justice – to refuse to be complicit. Do not rubber-stamp reports that whitewash crimes against humanity. This is not self-defence – it is collective punishment." What a brave course of action to take.

If Labour approves the Rosebank oil field, it would be the final straw for many of its green-minded voters. It might appease corporate power for a moment, but in doing so it will lose far more than it gains. The government seems to be on a self-destructive streak. Now's the time to rethink.
