My only contribution to the banknote debate is that the smaller notes should have smaller life forms and the bigger notes bigger lifeforms

£5 - tiny insect > £50 - whale or oak tree 🌳

(And no stealing the animals we already got on our notes up here)

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.

In comparing the greens to reform, Starmer might be forgetting that in Scotland at least we greens have second votes.

Wife of Starmer’s comms chief had direct knowledge of Labour Together’s investigation into journalists Tory and SNP chiefs call for Labour minister Simons to β€˜come clean’ as we reveal new details of PR firm’s campaign to discredit journalists

Wow. Josh Simons has resigned as govt minister

Follows weeks of reporting by Democracy for Sale and others about how he paid PR firm to smear journalists investigating Labour Together

Four years ago we delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22.

Now it's time to go further.

We're committing to deliver free bus travel for everyone in Scotland - on a bus network that has been brought back under public control. 🚌
