A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

The tangled web the UK has woven to entrap Scotland An edited version was published in the November 6th edition of The Scotsman and the November 10th edition of The National.

This is over two years old but I think the information is relevant to the HR26 elections
Scotland could have ferry services to The Netherlands and wider Scandinavia
We could have trade routes too but the UK Gov's Freeport agenda is blocking progress

Meanwhile, Reform want to send us back to the 1970's.

— producing a combined output of 74 megawatts from 18 floating turbines, sufficient to power the entire city of Inverness (population 65,000) continuously and indefinitely from tidal energy alone.

Paul Conroy — a brilliant photojournalist who documented wars & human chaos for decades — has passed away. He was injured in the same attack in Homs that killed Marie Colvin & he just carried on travelling to conflict zones.

May he rest in peace.

Private equity makes risky $1.1bn bet on hospice care Kinderhook’s acquisition of Enhabit comes with thin margins, heavy debt and increasing scrutiny

In the US, definitely NOT something we want here:

#PrivateEquty buying into HOSPICE care. What an obscenity, to make profit from caring for the dying

Just a reminder, as some question religious influence in UK politics. There are only two major countries in the world that guarantee clergy to hold seats in parliament. The United Kingdom and Iran. The UK automatically seats 26 Bishops in the House Of Lords.

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

2025 Trump: "If we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh that's good," (As Trump begins military operations in Iran, the White House is threatening an executive order to nationalize elections.)

What is for certain is that we need institutions and leaders that recognize that this war will only increase antisemetic rhetoric and feelings across the world. It will not make Jews safer, it will not free Iranians.

Hmmmmm……

In the #Kyiv neighborhood where 83-year-old Liudmyla Rechalina and her grandson Roman live, there has been no heating for several months. Their building, like more than a thousand others, remains without heat after Russian strikes on a thermal power plant.

Funny how politicians who are most keen on whining about immigration and refugees and asylum seekers are also very keen on starting the wars that create refugees and asylum seekers.

This you, Donald?

"Our president will start a war w/Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get re-elected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war w/Iran." — DJT, Nov. 2011

Trump's Running The War From His Favorite Insecure Location

Rep. Jason Crow went to war three times. He’s watched working‑class Americans pay the price while DC elites beat the war drums. Americans are DONE with endless wars. We want affordable lives, not another Middle East conflict. Congress must return now, hold a War Powers vote, & stop Trump.

Scottish folks: can you give me accurate, sourced examples of the BBC failing in terms of its coverage of Scotland please? In both news, documentary, drama, lifestyle: the whole gamut of its output? I’m putting together a piece on the BBC in Scotland and would love to hear your well-sourced thoughts

Can’t wait for the press to ask Mike Johnson about Trump violating the Constitution by starting a war with Iran, only for Johnson to claim he hasn’t seen it yet

Pete Buttigieg • @PeteButtigieg The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day. This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still greater danger.

He is a power hungry dictator and he needs to be removed from office immediately.
