What's problematic is nobody talks about England's deficit.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

There's nothing Christian about Reform's nonsense heritage proposals.

Jesus preached that hoarding wealth is sinful. He stated that we must welcome the stranger and love our neighbour, no matter where they come from.

Reform loathe these real Christian values.

The ex-Prince Andy the Paedo is getting his properties searched as we speak.
"Thames Valley Police confirmed officers were searching properties in both Berkshire, where his previous home of two decades, Royal Lodge, is situated, and Norfolk, where he currently lives on the King's Sandringham estate"

Wouldn't it be great if we had the power to increase NHS Scotland funding

Why do you expect ill, injured and elective surgery patients and the people supporting them to use public transport?

17.02.2026 20:25 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I don't think NHS Scotland covers the fuel/power costs of car transport. Buses aren't charged for using bus stops to my knowledge.

Why are you excluding unemployed people, single parents and minimum wage workers? I'm happy with free (at the point of use) for everyone. I'd include staff working at the hospital as a minimum.

And I'm sure there are ways of dealing with abuse of free parking.

Plenty people attending hospital aren't fit for public transport. I support active travel but accept there are times and places when even enciraging that would be cruel.

I don't drive and know only too well that buses do not go everywhere you need them to.

Why are you still not clarifying when you are talking about England? There are no parking charges at NHS Scotland hospitals.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Why are Scottish schools still using Twitter when the site was used to create deepfake sexual images of children? Why is the Scottish government permitting this? Why are councils permitting this? Why are teachers permitting this? If you care about the safety of children get off that site right now.

Drop the charges.

Are they mentioned or implicated in the vileness? I'm getting a bit tired of the lack of clarity on this.

Yeah, the gulf stream has changed track. Same last year - it didn't rain in Edinburgh mid-March to end of May. Rained a lot in Portigal, though.

Scots is often wrapped up in classism and labelled as 'weird' or 'uneducated', but by every standard it is its own language with its own grammar, syntax and words, and should be respected as such, writes Emma Grae ✍️

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years.

BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report.

Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
