Both my elderly parents were long term labour supporters and shop stewards in their respective workplaces. They are totally disillusioned now - as are most people in our area of Scotland tbh.

New York law will give breast cancer patients a chance to keep their hair In 2026, New York will become the first U.S. state to require private insurance companies to cover scalp cooling for chemotherapy patients.

The price tag for hair preservation has long forced breast cancer patients to skip scalp cooling altogether. New York will become the first state in the nation with a new law requiring private insurance companies to cover scalp cooling for chemotherapy patients.

If there was a Scottish referendum on Independence tomorrow I’d be voting Aye! First time I’ve felt like this, and hang the consequences. Appeasement of genocide and authoritarianism in an attempt to crush criticism sickening. This Labour government is rotten to the core. Never again.

"Covering a war means going to places torn by chaos, destruction and death... It means trying to find the truth in a sandstorm of propaganda" - the late Marie Colvin.

Truth is the cornerstone of justice. Without it we can't start to hold those responsible to account. Let journalists into Gaza.

I love Scotland. Out for a run and within 20 minutes you have chilly rain followed by blinding sunshine 😂

Sykes just likes a cuddle tbh😂

I agree and especially when you go to an appointment and look reasonably normal so nobody thinks you’re unwell.

You have to laugh at certain journalists from newspapers on here ( Guardian and Sunday times included) blocking all comments. Some seriously misogynistic and biased comments supporting genocide and just general nonsense.

I’ve Been Kidnapped by Israel in International Waters | Novara Media Novara Media journalist Kieran Andrieu has been illegally detained by Israel for trying to deliver baby formula, food and medicine to Gaza.

13 British Citizens on the Global Sumud flotilla have been kidnapped by Israeli forces with many boats sailing under the Union flag. I find it astonishing that our Government is silent on the issue. No protection, no support given from the British Akrotiri base why? novaramedia.com/2025/10/01/i...

Spanish climate definitely better than the current Scottish one 😭😂

Israeli naval ships tells Gaza flotilla to change course as activists say boats intercepted The Global Sumud Flotilla says military personnel had boarded some vessels.

What kind of nonsensical reporting is this @bbc? Israel attacks a peaceful convoy in international waters(again) & you present it as if everything they said is fact, and what the flotilla said is conjecture. Might as well just reproduce the press release they sent you

Happy Birthday to Doctor Who Producer Philip Hinchcliffe 🥳🥳

The Jane Goodall Institute has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute has passed away due to natural causes. She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States. Dr. Goodall's discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.

RIP to Jane Goodall :(

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Settlements everywhere. Constant humiliation and abuse of Palestinians. Towns surrounded by metal gates closed at will. The West Bank is being taken by foreigners. Oh and an ever expanding board of ambulance drivers killed on duty in Gaza.

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of @janegoodallinst and UN Messenger of Peace, spoke at the 2025 #ForbesSustainabilityLeaders Summit.

‘The simplicity of the NNT is deceptive and can lead to misinterpretation’

Excellent overview and discussion in @ndt-era.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ndt/advance-... #OpenAccess

I would add: it *does* lead to misinterpretation and should not be used.
