I agree and as someone who will be ‘on the doors’ before & during the SP election campaign I’m really frustrated with the Comms around this.

Indeed. I did not mean to insult any of the brave men & women who fought during WWII, I am just enraged by the lack of diplomacy and grasp of history from the US Govt and officials

Indeed, not deliberate omission on my part I have just been enraged, not for the 1st time, by the Trump administration!

She has just insulted every British, Canadian, Australian, Kiwi, Ghurka, Pole, Russian and others including French, Norwegian & Dutch resistance fighters who fought in WWII before the US came in at the end of 1941. My dad being one of them at 17 years old 🤬 Apologies to those who I haven’t listed

This quite genuinely could never happen in the UK, no Prime Minister would or be allowed to reduce themselves to a car salesman (apologies to all car salesman). Are there no propriety rules in the US?

Karoline Leavitt says Corey Comperatore, who is dead, will be at Trump's speech tonight

Left at Easter Road today by some Hearts fans. I do worry we're going to see the idea the far right have no support in Scotland horribly disproven at the next election. Loyalism is a fringe movement but there's enough of them to get Reform MSPs elected.

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting.

It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow.

You can get directions here. You’re welcome!

We appear to have omitted to bring our suits.

Hope he has a great day, my nerves are shot and that’s normal for me with these games. GGTTH 🇳🇬💚

Pass it on.

This is how you do it, challenge your elected representative at Town Halls etc they won’t like it and it might make them realise that it’s the people they owe their seat to not the orange person or Musk

🚨 BREAKING: Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown is on the list of officers submitted to Congress—signaling that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could fire him, officials say.

Are you surprised that Hegseth might target the highest-ranking Black officer in the military? I’m not.

Horrified at what the US Government is doing, not surprised but still horrified. Interested to know what sane Americans think & what sort of pushback, if any, is happening within US?

So, what are you doing on Monday for lunch?

Good grief

Outer sleeve and spinning vinyl record. Marvin Gaye “What’s going on”

First up this morning in #5albums70s3. I actually spun it last night and again today. It’s obviously a great record. Especially the first side. But, honestly, I don’t love it. A bit too much god stuff for my taste. But man, can Marvin sing! That finishes up 1971 from #johnsvinyl. #wasplaying

Quiet Life - Japan. 1982 reissue, Fame. Title track one of the great wasted disco tracks, hard for rest of lp to match #NowPlaying #5albums70s3

-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs
