If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

What TF is going on with the English? Not enough that weโ€™ve had 14years of sadistic Tories? You now want racist half wit pretend Tories in charge?

Christina was an exceptional parliamentarian and Minister, a tireless champion for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, and a dear friend to all of us.

Many of us gathered in Hamilton today to appreciate her work.

Weโ€™ll miss her more than words can say. ๐Ÿ’›

Asking rich foreigners to pay the same tax as everyone else is not "forcing" them to leave.

I hate reading comments like "Labour have to make cuts to pay for....". It's bollocks. We are a fiat economy, cuts will simply slow economic activity and impoverish millions of people already struggling. This whole 'household budget' gaslighting is Thatchers legacy.

Angela Epstein says she's sick of wealth being treated like a dirty word & says those calling for a wealth tax are driven by envy

Julia Davies from the group Patriotic Millionaires explains why that's rubbish & points out that she, as a very wealthy person, never worked harder than an NHS worker

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky.

Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky.

That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.

US support to maintain UKโ€™s nuclear arsenal is in doubt, experts say Malcolm Rifkind joins diplomats and analysts urging focus on European cooperation to replace Trident

Congratulations to the senior Tories who, having been told this for a mere 60 years, and staunchly denied it throughout, have finally twigged that it might not be a brilliant idea to have a nuclear deterrent which can be switched off by another state.

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

King Charles has invited Trump to Scotland. That is some top trolling. Who's going to take over from Janey Godley RIP?

Why mitigating the two-child cap puts clear water between SNP and Labour IT'S rare indeed to be able to match the words of a politician with their actions.

'The two-child cap mitigation creates "clear blue water" between the Scottish and UK Governments. The Labour administration in London is content to see more children remain in poverty, while the SNP want the number to reduce.'
William Thomson of Scotonomics, via The National.

In Scotland voters increasingly dislike right wing politics. In stark contrast, voters in England remain very attracted. In 2024 only 20% of voters chose a right wing party in Scotland, compared with 41% in England.

And England always gets to choose who rules in Westminster.

While weโ€™re banning booksโ€ฆ

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

GPs are often blamed for the problems of the NHS

Reality is somewhat different, since 2019 GPs have been providing 5million MORE appts per month (31million) with 20% less ยฃ/patient

For context
A&E has 2.2m attendances โฌ†๏ธ200k
Out-Patients 8.7m
Ambulance calls 750k (no change)

Unregulated expansion of PA/AA roles has taken place under the direct leadership of NHS England, having done so despite clear warnings from HEE that this would be detrimental to patient care

New โ€˜regulationโ€™ by GMC is just a register with no clear scope of practice or clarity

The evidence is clear
