An incredible retraction by the Daily Telegraph today. They have apologised for publishing an article last year headlined: “We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t afford to go on five holidays.” The entire story was fabricated; the family did not exist.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
🚨 NEW: Yougov poll this morning has the Greens surging into second place and Labour falling to fourth.

Yet another reminder of how vulnerable our reliance on fossil fuel makes us, and how absurd it is that the UK artificially links the retail price of cheap, clean renewables to expensive, dirty gas.

Gas prices up by around 50% today.
A painful reminder that relying on imported fossil fuels is a risky strategy.
The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern.
Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.
I see some people asking whether Scotland can act, because aviation & defence are reserved.
Yes, but I'm talking specifically about infrastructure owned by the Scottish Government.
They are not MOD assets; they operate commercially, and we simply don't need to accept Trump's forces as customers.
A slight improvement on yesterday's statement. But it still says nothing about the routine use of Scottish Government owned infrastructure, like Prestwick airport, by US forces.
We cannot stand up for international law while still putting our infrastructure at the disposal of those who ignore it.
In shocking news Matt blames muslims for his defeat and would like you to pay him money so that he can keep pointing this out.

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰
Warning UK 'at risk of being pulled into illegal war'
It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

It took months of national and international debate, diplomacy, parliamentary scrutiny and public protest before Blair managed to involve the UK in an illegal war.
Starmer has done it within a single news cycle.
That's just how supine he is to Trump.
A huge welcome to everyone who has joined the @scottishgreens.org this weekend! 💚

The Green Party took on the billionaire donors.
And won.
Some of my thoughts 👇🏼

The US and Israel have contempt for international law. How futile to ask them to explain how their actions align with it.
It's urgent that the FM now answers the Scottish Greens' demand to block Trump's forces from using assets owned by the Scottish Government, like Prestwick airport.
This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.
The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.
Once again, Trump has shown total contempt for human rights, international law and negotiations.
Our hopes are for the safety of the Iranian people, who now have to fear both their own government's violence and that coming from Trump and Netanyahu.

There are important distinctions to be made about what is "sectarian", what is improper influence, and what is voter dissatisfaction - & indeed more split views by generation

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
