I cannae mind the last time a badger was instrumental in deposing the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran (Mohammad Mossadegh) and installing Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as dictator, leading to the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Maybe that was a squirrel.

A medium shot of Nigel Farage wearing a blue suit and a pink patterned tie. He is gesturing with his right hand open toward the viewer. A white text box at the top reads: "Men make sacrifices many women don't for top jobs, Farage says".

Nigel Farage and another man are walking outdoors, surrounded by people holding light blue "I'm voting REFORM UK" signs. Farage is on the left in a green jacket and red tie; the other man is on the right in a dark suit and light blue tie. A black text box at the bottom reads: "Reformโ€™s by-election candidate suggested people who donโ€™t have children should pay more tax".

PSA: the far right donโ€™t like women.

Weโ€™re not going to stand by while any man tries to make misogyny normalised in this country.

Wake up, Nigel โ€“ itโ€™s 2026, not 1956.

March with us on 28 March if you agree.

Genuinely struggle to think of a single reason for any sane person holding unfavourable views of suffragettes.

If you are in Glasgow and want a treat, go try the Glasgow Radical Tours walking tour. One of the guides wrote "John Maclean; Hero of Red Clydeside", Henry Bell and will indulge endless questions like a champ <3
All their tours are great.

Sorry but my main point is that this so called Labour Government is an absolute disgrace and deserves its erse handed to it on a plate. Thank the baba, Jaybus I live in Scotland where weโ€™ll be well shot of the embarrassing, racist shambles that is the UK (hopefully before I die). Stick in, pal.

Ah, so the Labour Government decides its business as usual with Israel and oh, letโ€™s (illegally) proscribe people who organise civil disobedience against genocide. You reckon thatโ€™s acceptable? Itโ€™s not.

Tried and failed to buy a ticket for the B52s in Glesga this June ๐Ÿ˜ญ. If any of you lovely people have managed to get some and have a spare Iโ€™ll buy it, plus a few rounds!

By cancelling sales of arms to all fascist states and by not designating Palestine Action a terrorist organisation. Call me naif but sometimes doing the right thing is much easier when yer no in hock to the billionaire bastards. Yer no daft, ye must ken this.

Cool. 12 months from now, letโ€™s see how itโ€™s going. Sadly, thousands of innocent Palestinians will have been murdered by the IDF by then butโ€ฆ

I really donโ€™t feel like this government wants any of those things enough to make any of them happen. Sorry but Labour is now utterly pointless.

Ok. Go easy on Stepha, 77 was a great year for punk so thereโ€™s some hope there. Hope is cool again.
