The Brexit tendency seem to be absolutely losing their minds over the government's refusal to get bullied by America into an illegal war.

Quite something from the people who wanted "independence" and to "take back control."

Bob Servant: 33 years ago today, over a few cans of Kestrel at Invergowrie Services, I said to the Bangles swap Binman for Egyptian and you've got a hit. The rest is history.

Susanna Hoffs: Can't say I remember this, but I'll take your word.

Bob Servant; You have my undying respect. Legend.

Susanna Hoffs: 🙏❤️🌹

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

The secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now rewriting MAGA’s future Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory: An “aristocracy” is needed to move the country forward.

rightwing guy inherits insurance empire from his dad.

struck with revelation that the rich should run everything! "a proper elite that takes care of the country".

builds JD vance from dust to ensure just that.

profits!

gets wapo treatment as a big thinker.

Nothing else has worked – so Starmer and Reeves are finally telling the truth about Brexit | Rafael Behr It is the right way to go, but taking the long way round to such an obvious point has cost Labour precious time and credibility, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

As his landmark Brexit has proved, Farage is a fraud.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Get ready for fracking, Reform UK tells energy firms The party is serious about going after shale gas - but critics argue it's too difficult and costly.

Reform UK voted against worker rights in parliament, favoured bad bosses.

Now it supports fracking which can cause earthquakes and negative environmental impacts.

Companies will make vast profits, people will pick up the tab. Many homes would be uninsurable. Who would buy affected houses?

The workers anxious about their future following Grangemouth closure The end of Grangemouth’s refinery means lost jobs, lost skills and a town left wondering what comes next.

Energy is reserved to Westminster.
Labour has thrown Scottish refinery workers under the bus. Remember that in 2026 Scotland. You dinnae like it when Thatcher did it, so don't stand for it noo.
Grangemouth the only refinery in Scotland!!

Just finished the Nicola autobiography. Fascinating insight into the life of one of Europe’s best known politicians. Repeated focus on the almost crippling shyness & imposter syndrome insecurities which make her ascent all the more remarkable.

Not only is today’s employment report uniquely bad, but revisions to the prior months show that, on average, we have seen 35k net new jobs created for the last 3 months:

JAN: +111K
FEB: +102K
MAR: +120K
APR: +158K
MAY: +19K
JUN: +14K
JUL: +73K

No way to put lipstick on this pig.

Remember when 'Better Together' asserted only a No vote would keep Scotland in the EU? When a No vote would mean lower prices? Well, the truth is out, the WM govt admits that England's Brexit has led to inflationary price rises. The return of Scottish sovereignty is urgent.

A little whisper at the back of my mind is suggesting (and has historically done) that WM will not be too happy at Scotland having a direct route to the EU and therefore not inclined to expedite anything within their gift. Can't think why 🤔
