Thinking about my own father, who arrived in 1946 with the Free Polish Army - when would Labour have sent him back to communist Poland? How could he have done anything to build a life and have children in the UK if he had had to beg to stay every two years? Disgusting. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Really great discussion at SNP conference on climate and nature policy - Scotland needs strong leadership and a real focus on delivery in the next parliament.

The SNP and Labour have been warned that abandoning environmentally-friendly policies will lose them votes according to new polling
In Scotland weβre known for braving the cold, battling the wind and pretending itβs βtaps affβ weather at 12Β°C. But thereβs one thing we wonβt just tough out - losing Scotlandβs wild places.
Itβs in our nature to act. Sign our petition and stand up for nature: www.wwf.org.uk/scotland/202... βοΈ
Conservatives have vowed to scrap the UK Climate Change Act if they come to power. SCCS chair Mike Robinson says scrapping the targets would be "an abandonment" of the science, economics, morality and reality of climate change.

Scrapping the Climate Change Act would be an act of national self-harmπ¨
It inspired laws across the globe, billions in green investment, and a promise to protect future generationsπ±
That promise must not be brokenβοΈβπ₯

We are so humiliatingly deep into tinpot dictatorship territory. The government has just brokered the coerced sale of a major media platform to an ally of the president, who is openly boasting about converting it into (even more of) a partisan propaganda outlet.
Some hopeful weekend reading.
βThis is natureβs emergency recovery mechanism. Weβve buggered almost everything up but this will still bring them back.β
What passed for consensus on climate was always pretty thin. But the right's utter abandonment of the issue puts fossil fuel industry profits ahead of planetary survival.
Scottish and UK Governments must not follow them. New extraction must end, and polluters must pay.

A valuable thread pointing out that, despite wall-to-wall media coverage, Britain's far-right anti-migrant protests are mostly tiny, and some _don't even exist_.
The laziness and implied bias of the BBC here is extreme - "No 10 did not comment" presumably because the CPS and courts are independent, but there's no attempt to find anyone who would argue the opposite view, just the unchallenged whine of someone who called for asylum seekers to be burnt to death
He should be more widely recognised within Scotland, too.

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.
"There are hundreds of people roaming the streets of #Srebrenica who are war criminals."

Interesting new study from @smfthinktank.bsky.social finds a correlation between car dependency & loneliness, particularly in rural towns.
This might be due to there being βfewer ways to reach othersβ and space given to cars creating βbarriers in what might have been walkable neighbourhoods.β
