Misty you say...
Only the merest hint of the sun out on my ride today. And though there was no fish & chips, I did have a lovely bit of sea bass for dinner. 🍽️🐟😋

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed all the Party Leaders with more than 10% in the polls.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

They are scared of Zack, they are scared of you.

Scottish teachers taking second jobs including delivery driving to make ends meet Scottish teachers are taking up second jobs as delivery drivers to make ends meet, a teaching union has found.

We’re asking the Scottish Government and Cosla (the local authorities body) to stop dragging their heels in agreeing the 2025-26 pay award for teachers. We need full pay restoration.

If the Scottish government wants to keep teachers in the profession, they need to do better — and they need to do it now. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

We’re going to do what the US is doing and destroy our country because we can’t seem to stop the hateful racists who would rather live in a shithole than share their lives with brown people.

When is the Scottish tour? 😉

@alomshaha.bsky.social Picked this up today from the Book Nook in Stewarton. It's as beautiful as it is fascinating.

Looking at #stormamy on earth.nullschool.net

What the heck is that line in the mid Atlantic?

Today, a company linked to Baroness Michelle Mone was told it must repay the government £122m for breaching a contract for medical gowns during the Covid pandemic.

High Court rules Baroness Mone-linked company breached £122m Covid contract Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the government would

I'm no fan of her, and certainly not an apologist, but I can't help but feel she's been singled out as a self made woman amongst dozens of robbing entitled rich bastards

Rachel Reeves warns of harder choices to come as she hints at tax rises The chancellor says choices have been made "harder" by international events and the "long-term damage" done to the economy.

How about we tax some of the wealth that our billionaire overlords have accumulated at record levels in recent years..?

"Rich people can't be taxed," is a myth made up by rich people who don't want to be taxed.

Spectacular sky as the sun rises over Ayrshire. Camera wholly failing to do it justice.

On BBC Reporting Scotland @mikecorbett1.bsky.social was talking about pupil behaviour.

Employers & schools need to take action & implement national guidance.

While not captured on the recording, Mike also queried the weight being given to comments from the Commission on School Reform.

This is true for everyone still posting on X

There's a bit of hope here -

But there's a worrying complacency which seems to assume that Farage and his fascists only appeal to those who paint flags on roundabouts and shout at hotels.

Sadly, there are many fools north of the border who will swallow their rhetoric.

We don’t all share the same internet. The personalised algorithm has siloed us into parallel worlds

Musk said this to a crowd of 100K+ racists in London. Violence will follow.

Even with a day out of school, this week has been pretty full on.
Six shared classes (2xS1, and one each of S2-6) means liaising with four different colleagues.
With only the Higher physics class doing the same content as the classes I have to myself, planning is somewhat involved.
