Football price caps are already common across Europe.

It's time for Scottish clubs to put fans first by introducing a Β£25 cap for away fans.

Today @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social asked the First Minister if he'd back the campaign.

This was so helpful. I've listened multiple times. The idea of 2 simultaneous running threads explains exactly what's going on. I don't know if I can accept my distraction during prayer as something normal, but I can definitely be more forgiving of myself now.
Can you explain "arrow prayer" please?

A dangerous winter storm sweeping across the United States has brought life-threatening cold temperatures to much of the country. In Oklahoma, Ryan DuVal spent the weekend driving a more than 40-year-old fire truck around to transport homeless people to warming shelters.

This is a challenge. My OH recently 'told me off' for taking everything so seriously. He was concerned for me that I hear something & I immediately go all in on it. I feel I'm just treating things as seriously as they need to be, but maybe I'm being overwhelmed by the constant stream of brain food.

This is Graham Platner, a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine, making an excellent point.

Inherently, we are all frustrated at the same things - the direction of that frustration should be the oligarchy, not those seeking a new life in the UK. πŸ’š
