During this ‘festive’ season, if you offer someone a drink and they say no thanks, please don’t say “oh go on, just one”. They might be in recovery and it’s hard enough at this time without peer (or any) pressure. Thanks

"We get to see the larger community response, which is: what can I do? How can I share? What do you need at the moment?” Such a good, nuanced piece by @libbybrooks.bsky.social looking at the confluence of factors causing tensions in Glasgow but also how the city is fighting Reform's toxic rhetoric.
‘The response is a beautiful thing’: how Glasgow is squaring up to Reform
In the face of Nigel Farage, flag-waving and a longstanding housing crisis, some Glaswegians are taking on anti-immigration rhetoric

Kemi Badenoch calling Greenland a "second order issue" while Labour leaders hide from it is another datapoint for how UK political elites are intellectually and psychologically able to cope with an imploding global order that no longer matches the world they grew up in during the 90s and 00s

It’s telling that absolute every ‘error’ made by the british State Broadcaster happens to be damaging to the SNP and/or Scottish independence

The truth is that these are acts of very deliberate misinformation, calculated to politically strengthen their ‘precious’ union

Something that an independent Scotland could be aspiring to.
“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Today, we will be starting off 2026 by attending what might be the first protest for trans rights of the year.

GATE (Guiders Against Trans Exclusion)'s Birmingham protest against Girlguiding's ban on trans girls will begin at 12:00 noon.

Come back to the thread closer to the time for updates.

Labour- RW unionist party that would see Scotland back under direct WM rule
Reform- Far right unionist party that would see Scotland back under direct WM rule
Of course they will work together to enable this, be aware who you vote for and what you get in return and what you will lose.

Did you know that since the SNP nationalised Scotrail it has helped to contribute £4Bn to the Scottish economy, instead of paying out dividends to rich shareholders?

Which NHS stats are you looking at!!!!! All the stats I have seen lately show the Scottish NHS to be in a far better state than in England. Are you getting your stats from Baillie and Sarwar statisticals Ltd. In fact, just yesterday, ELEVEN English health boards declared a state of emergency!

Why would anyone want to stay in a Union whose Westminster government's PM can veto the other members without any debate? A PM who refuses to recognise genocide in Gaza. A PM with a "special relationship" with an insane imperialist war criminal.
Is the Westminster establishment in the Epstein files?
