Poster for Super Nature film at the Glasgow Film Theatre, as part of the Glasgow Film Festival
Just out from watching Super Nature at the @glasgowfilmfest.bsky.social
Beautiful, moving, powerful work. Congratulations to all involved across this precious globe. ♥️
The smearing of voters by the Daily Mail should come as no surprise. But the demonisation & delegitimisation of Asian voters is yet another low with "sectarian by-election" used with no quotation marks. In Mail land apparently not all votes are of equal worth. #GortonAndDenton
A large hall filled with people, a screen at the front with a holder image for the film - Finald. The happiest country that almost never existed.
With a doc film / curating a film festival on my mind. Happy to be here in Glasgow city centre to see ‘Finland: the happiest country that almost never existed’ by @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social & Gavin Hanigan. A big space, rammed wi folk eager to hear different world perspectives. A reassuring thing.
The platforming of Nigel Farage and treating him with kid gloves continues unabated at the #BBC. A decade after the Brexit vote Laura Kuenssberg gives Reform one hour of free publicity.
In Scotland, it’s estimated that around 170 languages are present, most spoke as languages for love and nurture, which is what, at best, the languages spoken at home are, writes Alison Phipps ✍️
The argument that Farage ally Nathan Gill was just a lone agent working for the Russian state has been completely discredited. Three more UK MEPs in Nigel Farage's bloc are now alleged to have "followed the script" given Gill by an alleged Russian asset. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The simplistic depiction of renewables v communities is a fallacy, and a potentially dangerous one.

Just saw Uma Nada-Rajah’s Black Hole Sign at the Tron. Really glad to see this work being made. Feels pertinent in every way. ❤️
Why is Labour so poor at regicide & deposing terrible leaders? The party has in recent decades abandoned all the main tenets of labourism but still clings to one last tenet: that the party does not overthrow disastrous leaders. Why does Lab still cling to this under Starmer?
Nobody knows what Keir Starmer stands for & believes in. He has no vision or purpose. But there is as big a malaise at the heart of this Labour government which goes beyond Starmer. What does it stand for except to not be Corbyn, Tories or Farage? #Newsnight
Nigel Farage encouraging far-right violence on asylum seekers once again.
Oh no, this is the Starmer.
Utter scumbag.
Brilliant to see work about to begin on the community owned Ionad Thròndairnis / Trotternish Centre in Staffin, which will be a focus for Gaelic language and culture. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2528514...
PIP helps people get by in their day to day lives – with essentials like getting washed and dressed, managing medicines, eating and drinking, and mobility.
Labour continues to target those who can afford it least, throwing lives into turmoil and pushing many into poverty.
Welcome to Farage World. Provided to you by the BBC & the public purse via licence payers. Not exactly "public service broadcasting."
This is a decision for the people of Scotland, not Keir Starmer.
Labour has lost the argument - the latest poll shows 54% in favour of independence. But instead of making their case to the public, they've decided to block the democratic process.
When landowners say they it doesn’t matter who owns land but instead it is how it is managed that matters, I always ask if I can have their land & they can continue to manage it. I have had no takers yet.
This is an important story about the UK Govt & its policy on Israel & the war in Gaza. No other UK newspaper has put it on its front page. Well done @scotnational.bsky.social doing what no one else would do.
Typical of Labour to be agonising publicly over scrapping the two child cap or not. Once upon a recent time they would have instinctively gone for the right decision. (And not been so fearful of The Treasury.)
EXC: Labour Together, a think tank tied to the top of the UK Government, has taken more than £1m from donors linked to private healthcare since the General Election

Scottish Labour does not have its problems to seek out. This has been true for a while. But it gets ridiculous when they are trying to hide their candidate in an important by-election: for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Remember when Michael Gove told us we had to leave EU because it was “time to fire the unelected elites”?
"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza."
My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide.

“Liz Kendall who claimed £6k+ in expenses since becoming DWP secretary & lives in a £4m London home, who is paid a massive 160k salary with all her heating bills paid for by the taxpayer, is very angry at people on benefits.”

Former Labour MP turned hard Brexiteer Gisela Stuart selected Friedrich A. Hayek's 'The Road to Serfdom' as her key political visionary text. Hayek's book makes the case for unfettered free market capitalism & is one of the cornerstones of Thatcherism. What a political journey!
Labour's Jackie Baillie publicly defends Keir Stamer's "island of strangers" language on #bbcaq. More votes lost for Scottish Labour now & in the run-in to the 2026 elections.
Helen,
You are my MP.
I have heard you say *nothing* about the deliberate starvation of 1.7M people in Gaza.
This is your responsibility - as 1 of only 650 in our sovereign parliament in a country that can and must comat this now.
And you are an MP in the party of power to boot.
Do something.
NEW: Rachel Reeves visited Scotland today. She refused to speak to any Scottish newspapers
Are you still supporting a Brexit party? In Scotland the only parties supporting #RejoinEU are the Scottish ones - The SNP and Greens.
If you're one of the large majority here who want to rejoin, you know what to do in the 2026 Holyrood election.
