Scotland neither wants nor needs nuclear weapons. England wants nuclear weapons, just not in England.

Starmer is determined that the centre must hold and vowed to go โ€œfurther and fasterโ€ in delivering reforms intended to stop populists growing in strength in Britain in the way they have done in the US, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Germany.

Morgan McSweeney, the prime ministerโ€™s chief of staff, has already started deploying what is loosely called a โ€œBlue Labourโ€ strategy: Starmer has cut the overseas aid budget, retreated from positions on trans issues, taken tough stances on defence and sounded more โ€œpatrioticโ€, including hosting the first St Georgeโ€™s Day reception at Number 10.

Financial Times seems to suggest that Labour is going to tack even further to the right.

Scotland generates far more clean electricity than it uses - a massive surplus from wind, hydro & other renewables. In 2023 we EXPORTED ยฃ1.5 BILLION worth to the UK National Grid

enough electricity to power millions beyond our own population yet we have some of the highest energy bills in Europe.

The Music Venue Trust launched its Annual Report at the Scottish Parliament. Whilst the report highlights key achievements and figures, it also tells of the issues that grassroots music venues are facing.

They are symbols of a Scotland stuck in a rut. We should be exporting ships, small aircraft, energy technologies and other high value added products inc MRI machines which we developed

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. Itโ€™s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

El Salvador PR exercise. The Supreme Court decided 11-0 that this fellow was deported illegally. Trump administration refuses to repatriate him! When Gov breaks the law what do you do?

Sally Magnusson is retiring after 27 years of reading out Unionist propaganda night after night on Reporting Scotland.

It's a real pity her support for Icelandic independence doesn't carry over into support for Scotland's independence - the land of her birth.

So far @yorkshirebylines.co.uk has reported over 2000 downsides of Brexit. Speaking #TruthToPower
โ€œDavid Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.โ€
