“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

If you are in Glasgow and want a treat, go try the Glasgow Radical Tours walking tour. One of the guides wrote "John Maclean; Hero of Red Clydeside", Henry Bell and will indulge endless questions like a champ <3
All their tours are great.

It’s a very long way from “Lead us, don’t leave us”! So, Anas wants to remain part of a UK that’s not interested in his opinion. How craven must you be to stay in post in these circumstances?!

Blue shows odds tightening, red shows odds drifting.

Greens hot favourites and coming in, Labour outsiders of three and drifting out.

If you want to oppose Reform don't waste your vote on Labour.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he ‘can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

It’s starting to feel like the BBC set him up: they promised to edit out any tics but didn’t even though there was a two hour delay and they edited out statements in support of Gaza, and they even sat him in front of a mic! Were they wanting him to say something for clicks but it backfired on them?

Screencap of Sarah Vine tweet: "I always wondered to myself how Hitler managed to persuade the German people to turn against the Jews. If you tell enough lies and spread enough poison eventually people will start believing them. Hateful divisive of little man."

She's responding to this tweet by Zack Polanski: "For years we've seen an ongoing genocide. It's been backed by right-wing papers, the US President and this Labour government."

Just Daily Mail 'journalist' Sarah Vine comparing the UK's only Jewish leader of a political party to Adolf Hitler.

The leader of Scottish Labour, Anas Sawar, would rather people didn't share this image of him and his "old friend" Peter Mandelson.

So please don't, Scottish Labour's poll ratings are already enough to make him cry.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

For all those who call us "Covid doomers" for continuing to post about the harms of long Covid - just know that the @who.int also posted yesterday about how this crisis isn't over
