Absolutely ragin’! 🀬🀬🀬
Someone dinged my car door in a carpark & drove off! Spoke to the adjacent community cafe/leisure centre but there are no cameras covering the council carpark.
You can’t put that dent in someone’s door and leg it without knowing you did it.
Some folk are utter πŸ’©s!!! 🀬

That’s the dilemma we’re all in Carol & why I didn’t renew my membership a few years back. I listened to JS speech and now believe the party has its Indy focus back. Yes, the prospect of PM Farage does scare the πŸ’© out of me, for the damage Poundland Trump will do to my grandkids lives!

We have a very real possibility of Farage becoming the next PM, we have one opportunity (albeit very slim, possibility c10%) next year to hit Swinney’s target, and so make our Indy case. If we don’t, we’ll only have ourselves to blame. You can’t get any more Scottish than that!

A huge relief to see the Israeli hostages released and the joy on family faces. But the fact that Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of their relatives, posting on social media or giving interviews - most held without charge - tells us how much there is to go.

It’s the only option we have Carol!
I’m not a member but it will be SNP1/ Green2 unless anyone can come up with a better idea. I think JS has boobed + Greens need to take heed of Zack P. to ditch their student politics but we need every pro-Indy voter doing the same to squeeze out pro-Union MSPs.

Hypothetical Ukrainian A-10s. Beautiful. My sister is a fighter pilot, I'm former SOF. We have VERY different opinions about A-10s and my opinion is really the only one that actually matters. Why? Because I depended on this machine and she never has. Ukraine needs these warbirds. Slow and lethal!

2024 is deadliest year for journalists in CPJ history; almost 70% killed by Israel - Committee to Protect Journalists Introduction More journalists were killed in 2024 than in any other year since the Committee to Protect Journalists began collecting data more than three decades ago. At least 124 journalists and medi...

Why would a @uklabourparty.bsky.social support a country who kills journalists with regular and utter contempt?

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

Well done Jo! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
A few years (and Kg) ago MrsK and I had 6/7 walking holidays in France & mostly Spain. Some great holidays & experiences seeing proper rural Spain. Meeting hunters at the start of the Boar season, being overtaken by an old man on a donkey & eating some amazing home cooked food.

Should, but don’t. That sounds too much like Union behaviour for the US.
Morals & ethics don’t pay bills when you get sack for standing up to this POTUS!

The Grifter in Chief, Chazo Saxe-Coburg Gotha and Slumlord Willie’s state benefits have just been increased by 45% to Β£132,000,000.00.

Thankfully the Red Tories have managed to cover the extra Royal costs by hammering the poor, the old, the sick & disabled with brutal benefits cuts.

β€œDonald Trump transparently deserves some credit for this [ceasefire].”

Conservative MP Nigel Huddleston thinks the guy who bankrolled a genocide β€” that has bombed and starved 20,000 kids to death β€” deserves credit for deciding to stop after 2 full years of carnage.

Not sure I’d agree with backwards but John Swinney definitely needs to be much more assertive as opposed to rinse & repeat pleading for a S30. I’ve no idea what Stephen Flynn thinks since I left Twitter, I think we need someone to repost his Twitter posts on here.
