Donald Trump says 'great to be in Scotland' as he arrives for golf trip and talks - latest The US president will meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney during his four-day trip.

Thinking of Janey Godley tonight, and tickled by what she’d be saying about this. www.bbc.com/news/live/ce...

I love this. If I won the lottery, at least 50% would go towards rewilding land. #climateaction #speirgorm

Everywhere he goes, please, more of this!!! The truth can never be defamatory. #trump #trumptarrifs #trumpScotland #ClimateEmergency #gaza

Be in Galway Monday night please and you will be rewarded with some of the most amazing musicians I've ever heard. A unique opportunity to show your appreciation and strength for the people of Gaza. I love you and I know if you can be there, you will be. #gaza #fuckisrael

Fuck Trump

It's so beautiful Emma. I learned the words from listening to Paul sing them but I understand what you mean. It's one of those songs. It's very personal to Paul but that's not my story to tell.

Paul is also working on some very poignant and moving songs about Gaza and I hope to be able to share them soon.

This is one of my favourite songs, sung by my best friends (including my best man). I love them more than words could say and I hope anyone who follows me here can enjoy their brilliance as much as I do. Paul Brohan, Cheryl Kelly and others. #galway

Absolutely. Along with a right wing surge fuled by misinformation/disinformation.

They don't care. Trump has absolute power in the GOP. He is flaunting his success and his party colleagues are rolling over for him.

Support for the European Union within the EU is precarious. It's time to treat Trump like coronavirus, a temporary microscopic infectious agent. Be strong, vigilant and robust. The vaccine for Trump is strength and unity. Give him nothing and watch him wilt. #trump #trumptarrifs #eu #climatechange

However, we will continue to fund the war against you by buying Russian fossil fuels and refusing to sanction others who do the same.

Disingenuous hypocrite!

This is worrying. Constitutional and EU Law protections for nature and environment are weak and EU Law is being weakened by the day. If the government want public approval for CETA, they should hold a referendum to insert rights for nature and a healthy environment in the constitution.

🚨 Do not believe the government spin that providing for MPAs in amendments to an existing law will be just as effective as a standalone law! 🚨

Huge work has gone into the creation of the MPA bill, a draft of which was first published in 2022. There was a public consultation and a report from a...🧵

The Irish government are tying themselves in knots to appease the country most responsible for climate change and who just passed a Bill to pour petrol on the fire. Yes, we need a healthy economy but we won't have one for long if we don't act urgently. It's sickening.

Well played John. If RTE journalists did their job like they are supposed to, he would have been fact checked out of public life a long time ago. Or at least fact checked into irrelevance.

Taoiseach says there ‘could be link’ between falling alcohol consumption and increased cocaine use Martin said such a connection ‘would be very worrying’ but there needs to be ‘more scientific analysis’ of the issue.

This is complete nonsense. Cocaine users drink more alcohol while using cocaine than they otherwise would. It's astonishing that the people tasked with creating drug and alcohol policy are so incredibly uninformed on these matters.

I don't condone political violence but I can very easily understand it in the context of modern day United States of America.
The most powerful people in that country are among the most evil on the planet. #bigbeautifulbill #trump #vance #usSenate

To be fair, most people's experience is what they see in the news and social media and revolves around fox hunting, hare coursing and trophy hunting.

America is primarily responsible for all of this.

Meanwhile, the European Union is on bended knee to appease facist Trump.

Fuck you Vance. You're a self serving, spineless prick.

In terms of emissions outputs? What about other factors such as tire emissions, production emissions and the space they take up that could be used by more efficient transport methods.

He is no longer either of those things. He is a right wing, opportunist, self serving, politician.

My basis for claiming they are happier with outside access is common sense and experience. A caged bird might also seem happy but it's not right. Same for cats.

I am doing no such thing. Whether a cat has a better quality of life indoors/outdoors is a separate issue to whether they should be outside in terms of biodiversity. I accept that they shouldn't but we should be focused on neutering/spading in the short term in my opinion.

I dont agree with this. Eoghan is absolutely right about cats and biodiversity but that requires a macro intervention. A cats best life is lived with access to inside and outside, even if it means living a shorter life.
