Merry Christmas! I’m awake before my 4yr old (6:30am) so that’s not bad at both ends. Thank you always for the best Christmas Eve tradition

This is why in Scotland the government supports care experienced young people until 26 - the evidence backs it up

I often think this, my mum had an address book because their generation didn’t love flat every 10min like our generation

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living β€œparallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

Hate seeks to divide us. But hope endures when we stand together. Our solidarity is with the Jewish community today. #britainstandstogether

There is a key moral distinction between immigration policy on new arrivals, no matter how draconian, and on people who have already been granted status, on set conditions. It is about being a country that keeps its word. If we're not that, we might as well fucking give up now.

A reminder to sign this and help stop the stupid and expensive ID card mistake.

We don't have the money to end child poverty, but a digital ID card to try and appease the far right, up pops the magic money tree.

I think there are reasonable arguments for the cards for most people to make it easier to get services etc. (And there are counter-arguments, of course.) But the idea that it controls/regularises immigration and the black economy is bollocks.

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government.

Reminder that Kim Darroch was forced to resign as UK ambassador in Washington for telegrams being leaked that showed he was doing his job by providing his honest views but embarrassed the government.

It’s inconceivably absurd to consider Mandelson’s position *more* tenable than Darroch’s was.

More students head back to class without one crucial thing: their phones This back to school season, more districts than ever have cell phone bans in place. Teachers and legislators alike say the restrictions help kids focus in class.

Great Yarmouth to Host Britain’s Biggest White Power Concert in Years – HOPE not hate Great Yarmouth is set to host the largest white power music gig held in the UK for at least 10 years, HOPE not hate can...

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

Five arrested after masked men try to enter west London asylum hotel Two anti-asylum groups marched to Crowne Plaza before attempting to enter building at rear, Met police say

People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s β€œlaw and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The deadline to make your submission to Ofgem is this Friday.

Don't let the man who switched off Starlink in Ukraine, helping Putin, have the keys to switch off your electricity here in the UK.

Glasgow airport is underrated, cheap parking is available very close, it’s small so you get through quickly and the dining options are improving all the time. Rotterdam in the old days was glorious, my dad used to drive up to the plane and drop me off at the stairs

I agree with this in timing but boy does it feel on cheap easy eating options also why doesn’t it have a lounge?

A proper greasy spoon breakfast doesn’t do ramekins - beans dropped on plate to mix with the grease of the fried bread - as it should be!

I disagree. Scotland is a very congenial place to live. There are a few intolerable culture war arseholes who grate on the nerves, but then this country has always been plagued by midges
