I appreciate "UK" is handy shorthand but of course we've had a ban on fracking in Scotland for some years. Both licensing and planning policy are devolved.

UK energy and climate secretary Ed Miliband will today announce a “total ban” on fracking in the UK

Nothing to see here, just Big Ag lobbying the deputy FM to ignore expert advice on the climate crisis. Cool cool cool

This is so sad to see.

The Sula Sgeir guga hunt has happened.

Up to 500 juvenile gannets bashed in the head, because "tradition".

Inhumane and totally unnecessary in today's society.

An outdated loophole in law that needs closed.

Well that was painful to watch. And I'm a Musselburgh fan. 😬 #engvsco #wrwc

Excuse me if I prefer to follow the advice of Scotland's chief nutritionist, who told parliament last week: "The reality is that our diets are so poor that meat has an elevated status. If we ate a healthy, balanced diet, we would not really need to have any meat within that." 🍐🍅🥕🥬🫘🥔

Who needs the Proms and the Albert Hall when you have the Lammermuir festival and the Corn Exchange in Haddington! Max Richter's version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, performed by members of the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland, led by violin powerhouse Elena Urioste. My jaw literally dropped. 😍🎶🎻

Love Marina's response to Pret's latest marketing slogan, Order Your Unusual. "No chance. I’d rather exfoliate with one of their granola bars." (I will confess to being addicted to their avocado, olive and rocket baguettes.)

Worth noting this time last year choc Santas were a whole pound cheaper. Inflation, cocoa bean crisis, price gouging? I'm expecting 1,000 words on this from @alphaville.ft.com at any moment.

Lovely to catch up with folk from the Scottish Agroecology Partnership outside parliament, calling for better support for small farmers, crofters and market gardeners. Good chats about animal welfare. I also met a collie, and had some wonderful veggie stew. 😋

Tesco, Musselburgh. Every little chocolate Santa helps, it would seem.
