Who says #EV long distance driving isn't possible & we dont have the infrastructure?
With several Berks to Cornwall trips under my belt, I can now add Berks to Scotland. Just 2 stops en route, for charging the car, comfort stop for me, coffee & food. #EVCars #sustainability #hyundai #Kona

Deep shame @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social BBC News) & @dailymail.co.uk for your editorial decision to headline Ghislaine Maxwell instead of: Convicted accomplice (20 Yr prison term For Conspiring With Jeffrey Epstein To Sexually Abuse Minors) says no list exits.
Like she's a truthful reliable witness!!!

Just seen single male (50s ?) Park in a parent & child space. Infuriating...if you don't qualify for the space (parent/child or disabled), don't park there! It's quite simple really.

Bland answer from Sec of State. Getting to Hrow from London great...but anywhere else? Rubbish! But as long as BAA can continue to charge for drop offs they win & passengers continue to be penalised. Need a new rail line in thats NOT from London (served by underground & hrow express).

Watched @itvx.com Breaking the Silence, Kate's Story on Sunday about domestic abuse & (now) ex MP Kate Kniveton. Powerful piece illustrating #domesticabuse affects women of all backgrounds, in the police to surgeons & more. @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social has much to do in this important arena.

Trump has told the Wall Street Journal its reporters are not welcome on his visit to Scotland. As a Scot living 3 miles from Trump's Turnberry golf course, I can tell you the unwelcome visitor is Trump. He's despised in Scotland & he'll be met by 1000s channelling the late great Janey Godley.

"It’s become the respectable face of the same, tired old bigotry.

A linguistic get-out-of-jail-free card. Prejudice pretending to be civic duty, hoping no one notices the smell."

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Why tf do we have to read every single day in the headlines what Farridge says he *would* do IF he was in charge? He isn't! And if the media really want to know what other parties would do differently, why not ask the Greens or Lib Dems for instance?

“They (Reform UK) voted against

• the right to guaranteed hours
• protection from unfair dismissal
• stronger protections for pregnant mothers
• a package worth £600 for poorest workers.. We’re backing British workers, they vote against them at every turn”
