Erm. Food, wine, nature, Scotland independence, rejoin EU, rugby. Just stuff.
I wish I had a milkshake stand in Falkirk. I’d be coining it in atm.
Farage is not going to Falkirk in order to condemn those who intimidate and terrify migrants and asylum seekers – he’s going there in order to stoke up community divisions with the aim of furthering his own agenda, writes Paul Kavanagh ✍️

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

There’s a nice analogy of the UK; 2 ships roped side by side, 1 slightly bigger but with a much larger crew, the other has more sails. The small ship has wind in its sails but has to go where the big ship goes. The ropes binding the ships together are creaking as the turbulent winds are picking up.

The upcoming Holyrood election might not be a referendum but it’s probably the most important one since devolution.

With Westminster imploding and their Scottish sub-parties dragging Scotland’s progress down at every turn we can’t afford to let them anywhere near Holyrood.

This one really matters.

Credit rating company Moody's rated the Scottish government as Aa3 while rivals S&P Global rated it as AA, both identical to the UK's sovereign rating
news came as the Scottish government was given the same status as the UK by two global credit rating companies.

These satirical accounts are getting harder and harder to spot
I support Sir Keir Starmer.

He is our PM and must remain as PM.

This speculation about his future needs to stop.

The media have it in for him and he is actually doing a bloody good job.

In Scotland, we're working hard to undo the damage being inflicted by Labour in Westminster.

Last day in Cairo and we went out to our favourite Lebanese restaurant for lunch. Moutabal, muhammara and hummus to start, with unlimited baladi bread. 🤌

Why is everyone using his new Mountbatten-Windsor name? Don’t be fooled by the diversion; he’s a royal.
Not only his behaviour but also the attempted cover-up by his mother and brother should be investigated. #abolishthemonarchy

One of the most blatant lies I can remember from BBC Scotland (and that's saying something.) Basically a copy/paste of a Scottish Tory press release. The actual figure involved was £23,000 over 3 years. The BBC has added wages that would be paid whether the staff involved were in Turkey or not.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

If you live in Scotland (or even just over the Boarder) and have a bike you're thinking of selling, have you considered offering it to Bikes for Refugees Scotland? They provide bikes to refugees awaiting confirmation of status (adults and children) so they can get around/get to school etc. Link 👇
