Scotland has otters, squirrels and mackerel on our bank notes as well as scientists and the words of poets. As a nation we’re confident enough to celebrate nature and intellectual excellence, rather than simply fall back on racist warmongers.

That sounds really good

I’m sure this be very useful for Scotland at the UN when the English Gvt tells them Scotland isn’t a colony because it has self governance.

My cat sleeps all day and then keeps me awake all night so this gave me a good laugh.

This made me laugh 😹

I had to check the shoe thing was true. God almighty. The level of cowardice.

Spain MEP Irene Montero: “Send your son, Donald Trump — If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters, & our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war — those who want war should send their own children”

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

The Guardian view on Kemi Badenoch and the Iran war: confusion reveals a lack of serious thinking | Editorial Editorial: The Tories and Reform UK have abandoned British interests to become ideological satellites of radical US conservatism

“Reform and the Tories are now ideological satellites of extreme US conservatism, adopting Maga-coded positions on culture war issues and foreign policy by default”

Badenoch was clumsier on Iran than Farage. But both paraded just how dangerously useless they are.

Palantir’s NHS England contract ‘opens door to government abuse of power’, health bosses told Health justice charity Medact says data-sharing potential could be used for UK version of US immigration raids

No to Palantir.

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

We can all agree that I'd look fantastic on a £5 note

And fed a diet of Fox News/NewsMax etc.

Hereditary peers to lose their seats in the House of Lords Upper chamber accepts final draft of bill, which offers life peerages to some of those who would otherwise be removed

It should be an elected second chamber, not appointed. So open to abuse.

Pathetically vain.

I wouldn’t put too much faith in BBC news these days. They are far too sympathetic to the right-wing narrative.

“Can we pray for the moms as well? Or just the babies?”

Allie Phillips bravely told a pro-FAILED abortion death penalty bill group her story of fleeing Tennessee for a life-saving abortion

Men tried to intimidate/stop her. She persisted: www.instagram.com/reel/DVuUJfm...

Better out than a bad tenant, as my evil grannie used to say. No pain as intense as gallbladder pain. Get better soon.

You can judge a family by the company it keeps.

You always need more books!

Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.

The Duchy of Lancaster collects the assets of people who die without a will in the North-West of England. This is how King Charles ended up owning the huge Wigan illegal waste dump he refuses to clean up. There is a word for describing this: feudalism.

Farage delivers energy sermon at the pump – just don’t mention the war Reform leader’s Derbyshire petrol station stunt grinds to halt when questions on Iran leave him short-tempered

“While Nige has been brown-nosing Trump with his warmongering, he’s missed that most of the country doesn’t want to follow the orange narcissist into an illegal war with no fixed objectives other than continue till The Donald gets bored”

Who's gonna tell him?....

Isn’t that buying votes?

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.
