it’s looking like a fairly short ballot for Holyrood 2026, with Alba’s long-overdue implosion and Jeremy Corbyn being unable to point to Scotland on a map
Alex Cole-Hamilton doing some deep reflection on why people hate him and landing on ‘it must be because I’m English’ is some really funny stuff
Thank you for finding the words I could not, I just wanted to call him a fucking moron but it just didn't have the nuance needed.
It’s a bit like how we didn’t ‘overfind’ more stars when telescopes were invented. Why has going after neurodivergent people become a national sport? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...
No more delays
This is an illegal war.
Starmer has already angered Trump for not being bloodthirsty enough.
About time the "International human rights lawyer" found his spine and ended our complicity in the fire and death.

This whole not sleeping more than 4 hours is really getting annoying
Pokopia looks so full of care, charm and intentionally.
I'm beginning to think the problem with current pokemon is gamefreak
Why is the bar so low for current pokemon mainline games.
People that love the pokemon games, please stop settling.
Starmer hits the "everyone hates me" sweet spot again
Israel soldiers invaded a foreign country, raided a graveyard, and then when they couldn't find anything but people justifiably angry at their raid they bombed the place

Grammarly is stealing people's identities as well as their work:

Another excellent video from one of my favourite creators, Sarah Davis Baker.

I feel like not enough is being made of the fact that not only did Israel start this war, with Trump just eagerly joining in, but they've also just started bombing Lebanon's capital because they feel like it.
Israel is the warmonger nation of the Middle East. Kicking off conflicts left and right.
SP26: Scotland’s right-wingers shouldn’t be dismissed or exaggerated
Scotland was for a long time assumed to be resolutely opposed to the right. Whilst Reform's rise overturns those prior claims, some are overcorrecting their narratives, glossing over a lingering divergence.
The way education law in Scotland works you wouldn't believe that Christianity is a minority religion.
But it is, and right now in the Scottish Parliament most MSPs are still trying to ban children from being able to remove themselves from religious observance.
One of the few times the broken clock was correct as well.
The fastest we can get religion out of running schools (both Catholic and "non-denominational") the better.
Including ending the ludicrous right to unelected election committee positions.
well i certainly hope you didn’t pay for that education
The difference between people who care about the maths and people who care about nothing but the vibes
there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists
What the fuck @proton.me?
The Edinburgh Labour admin, backed by the Tories and Libdems, just voted in the lowest revenue gaining budget in the country whilst this shameful statistic landed at their feet

Chinese takeaway and a by-election
Oh wow, this is "holding on to elected office is untenable" territory.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
Those are some great denials of things she’s not been accused of
Ah yeah it's definitely still an "operation" when you're striking uninvolved military assets hundreds of miles away from your initial targets
you think Lisa Cameron defecting to the Tories was bad, [REDACTED] is apparently defecting to the CCP
Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today. Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle. They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice. Thankfully, the tide is
Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Our Home Affairs Select Committee report on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban has been published. An extraordinary and unjustified decision that exposed serious failures within West Midlands Police.
Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid My column in the Herald on Sunday: the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry is welcome. We must also confront how our third sector has become institutionally corrupted to the point where it sides with SNP ministers instead of standing with women and girls
Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Follow The SNP are taking the biscuit. They chose to turn Glasgow into sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies, and now they want the Home Office to bail them out.
for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick
Our country seems to be being run by a clique of angry SpAds who are consumed by factionalist hatred of the left (like McSweeney was) more than anything else.
Who seem to be running the country on the basis of just doing what they like and Starmer signing off on things he hasn't even looked at.
Should I expect the Greens to be featured as prominently, and as favourably, as Reform on the BBC then?
