🏴🇪🇺 Did a bit of a stint as SNP Chair of Planning for Moray, which was fun. Now, sailing, gardening, taking pish photos, and generally just taking things easy. Owner of too many lenses.

The Aarhus Convention does more than allow cost capped judicial review. Very disappointed that leaving it is even being considered. Also assume it will mean taking entire UK out of the agreement, not just England - even though Planning Bill is England only.

Currently sat on an InterCity train from Warsaw to Berlin. It's clean, comfy, has reserved seating, is flying along at 160km/h & doesn't sound like it's going to rattle itself to bits.
A 5hr journey, about the same as London to Edinburgh. Just €30 each.
There's sooo much wrong with trains in the UK

Dublin City Council’s design for South Circular Rd/Brookfield Rd (by the new children’s hospital) fails on safe cycling: no lane on one side, a too-narrow lane on the other — all while keeping three full lanes for cars. This completely ignores best practice. It’s not acceptable.

Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve.

They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

Special sittings of the Commons to debate the nationalisation of an industry only happen when there's an upcoming English mayoral election where the industry is located & Starmer is afraid of losing it. Sorry Grangemouth, you're just not politically important to Labour. Try not being Scottish.

There are MILES more important things than most of the stuff on this list.

Usually absolutely fed up with BBC's Scottish output, but I can highly recommend this which has just aired on Radio4. Clive Anderson, Loose Ends.
Well worth a listen, a breath of positive fresh air, but does make wonder why it's on R4, and not Radio Scotland.
