Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farageโ€™s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.

No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

CAMHS are only taking referrals for emergency mental health at the moment. We are a long way from having anything to celebrate I'm afraid.

This has been on the front page of the BBC Scotland website all morning. It talks about โ€œeight years after the referendumโ€. The latter was in 2014. A child could do the arithmetic better!

An incredible retraction by the Daily Telegraph today. They have apologised for publishing an article last year headlined: โ€œWe earn ยฃ345k, but soaring private school fees mean we canโ€™t afford to go on five holidays.โ€ The entire story was fabricated; the family did not exist.

๐Ÿšจ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

At least we now know the one issue on which Keir Starmer will never u-turn: Scottish independence. Heโ€™ll twist and turn on any other matter - even war - but heโ€™s an implacable mountain of certainty when it comes to democracy, or the denial of it, in Scotland

๐ŸšจToday, the UK government announced harsh new asylum rules that will make refugee status for people fleeing war and persecution temporary.

These proposals are cruel, unworkable and undemocratic.

There was a news bulletin on New year's Day this year which was about tourists coming to the UK for New Year . The vox pop was in Edinburgh but Edinburgh and Scotland were not mentioned.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

What. Utter. Sh*te. Look out England. You're in for the same extreme negative reporting by the establishment and their media pals that we've had in Scotland for decades. No straw is too low for them to grasp, nor barrel so deep to scrape.
