🤝 This new payment, alongside the Carer Support Payment & Carer Supplement, provides help at a time when carers are facing even more financial pressures due to Labour’s austerity agenda & cost of living crisis.

👏 Another example of @snp.org delivering a fairer social security system for Scotland.

The fact that Trump clearly doesn't know what habeas corpus means probably warrants a bit more attention from the media.

Yesterday's narrative of 7 October as ‘another 9/11’ – "yet another day torn free from any history or context" with only two sides – seeks to demonise all Palestine solidarity as "pro-terrorist." It is critical to understanding Britain's current crackdown on protest rights netpol.org/2025/10/06/a...

Netpol has updated and expanded our guidance on the government’s decision to ban Palestine Action, in response to the many questions we received. This includes fundraising for prisoners, criticising the ban and differences in the way offences are dealt with in Scotland netpol.org/2025/06/26/p...

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Today's #BookQW word is STRONG.

In this extract from Waterborne Exile (sequel to The Waterborne Blade), Brett's spotted unfamiliar horses approaching their remote settlement.

First two ebooks available here: angryrobotbooks.com/books/the-wa...
and here: angryrobotbooks.com/books/waterb...

“Halt and state your business.”

“My business? Putting food on freemerchant plates, as it ever has been.”

With a flush of relief Brett recognised his father’s voice. Rogen eased his bowstring and returned the arrow to his quiver, before pushing himself to his feet. Brett followed him out from behind the cover of the rocks. Close to he had no difficulty recognising his father’s taller figure, riding a grey horse without the benefit of saddle or bridle, only a meagre halter. Behind him, the other two riders were women, both mounted the same way as his father, without saddle or bridle. Both women slumped on their horses. They must have been riding half the night. Their heads were wrapped in scarves to protect them from the heat of the sun and the dust. They rode side by side, until the track they followed narrowed and the slighter- built one reined in her horse, dropping to the rear. She had tanned skin and freckles. Wisps of hair escaped from beneath her scarf; her forearms were wiry, strong.

Brett moved his attention to the woman who rode behind his father, eyeing her with curiosity. She had fair skin, ill-suited to the desert heat. There was something ethereal about her, something he couldn’t quite name, some sense of – what, he wasn’t sure. As if aware of his scrutiny she looked up and her eyes met his. Brett caught his breath. For a moment it was as if she could read his innermost thoughts. But that was silly. No one could do such a thing. There was a slight twist of her mouth that might have been a smile then she nodded and he found he could turn his eyes away at last, aware of a sudden sense of great grief. Such a sorrow as he’d never known before. He felt strangely guilty, as if he’d intruded somehow.

He fell in behind their horses as they picked their way up the valley. This was something important here, something momentous.
