That screams... 'Mr President what role are you moving Secretary Noem too?'

£921m in additional BCs from the UK Govt.
That could be used to stop the planned cuts to councils from the last ScotGovt Budget, it could be used to invest in social care so IJBs finally have the money needed to invest not only in care but prevention and early intervention!
Will it be?
This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something
Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”
Lord Ricketts analysis is yet again spot on 👇
Aye because US/Israeli led interventions in the Middle East have a long track record of success...
Our Leader Anas Sarwar set out policies that can genuinely transform Scotland - focused on fairness, opportunity, and delivering for working people.
And a brilliant introduction from my friend Lynsey Hamilton who will be a amazing MSP for Clydesdale, her speech was full of passion and purpose!
Fantastic to see Kaye and fellow co-operators from the Scottish Co-operative Party, alongside our brilliant Cunninghame South Scottish Parliamentary candidate Katy Clark MSP and our Labour MP Alan Gemmell MP.
Proud to sign the Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland pledge today.
I know first-hand how vital their work is to individuals and families across our communities and I’m genuinely proud to support everything they do.
Great to join colleagues and friends from across our movement at #ScotLab26!
Always energising to come together, share ideas, and focus on how we deliver a better future for Scotland. 🌹
The Gorton and Denton result is an absolute disaster for Labour. Clearly, we now risk no longer being seen as the natural home for progressive voters. This loss was avoidable. Angeliki, members and our party staff worked tirelessly, but our leader and sections of the NEC blocked the one candidate who could have won it for us. That decision now looks like a catastrophic error. We need an immediate and fundamental reset - of strategy, of policy, and of culture - now.
The message from Gorton and Denton is clear: Labour needs a fundamental reset.
This morning at #ScotLab26 I shared how in North Ayrshire we passed a Labour budget from opposition - a budget that invests in communities, municipally owned energy, and reverses SNP cuts
How did we do it?
Determination, commitment to our values and using the incompetence of the SNP against them
Yesterday at Budget, North Ayrshire Labour secured real wins for our communities.
I’m especially proud we’ve reinstated School Crossing Patrollers cut last year by the SNP & Tories.
I promised parents I wouldn’t give up - and we’ve delivered.
A real win for our community.
Former Leader of the Lords, Baroness Royall, says peers are deliberately blocking the assisted dying bill.
“I think it is absurd… how can it be that you take nine days to scrutinise three clauses of an act? … That to me looks like filibustering.”
(She supports the bill).
If you are finding out about John Davidson MBE from the disgusting pile on by "Actors" then do yourself a favour and watch:
I Swear (2026)
John's Not Mad (1989)
Or even just Google the man to see his incredible work to fight the stigma and discrimination those with TS face

Almost like there is a film right now being nominated for awards that highlights the struggles someone with Tourettes faces...
If only some of these "stars" watched it, instead of leading a pile on of a man who has dedicated his life to fighting the stigma around TS!

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

Gordon (and Sarah) Brown have shown how to lead by example, how to put compassion and humanity into action and how to use your platform for good.
While other ex-pms use their platform to line their own pockets (or avoid court).
Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men
This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!
The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.

Tony Blair should be in the Hague not taking an active role in yet another American-Imperialist Middle East take over.
A yellow poster-style graphic showing a paper shredder destroying a document titled “Trade Union Act 2016.” Above the shredder, bold text reads “Tory anti‑union laws: in the shredder.” Below it, additional text says “Now let’s finish the job, and deliver the New Deal in full.” A small line at the bottom states it is promoted by National TULO.
Today is a good day for workers' rights, with Tory anti-trade union laws going in the shredder.
The Employment Rights Act is making it easier for workers to fight for better pay and conditions.
Let's work to deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.
In NAC,The SNP and Tories struck a deal to remove the Labour Chair of Planning so the Tory Leader could get a pay rise, in exchange for Tory votes to keep the SNP in power.
They only paused because the chair was in hospital - their votes still went ahead.

🌹Recent events show the urgency of organising at every level of Labour for a new politics built on accountability, principle, humility and a transformative vision for the country.
Introducing Mainstream's NPF candidates - a team who will fight tirelessly for a new politics 👇
From public ownership of utilities to a wealth tax - we need to be bolder, braver and better.
I hope you’ll support me, the wider Mainstream NPF slate, and NEC candidates Cat, Kerry and Jovan.
Those roots delivered the NHS, Equal Pay, the Open University, The Minimum Wage and recently new Day 1 Employee Rights.
However, we’ve become too hesitant to champion bold policy much of which has strong public support.
🧵
I am proud to be part @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social NPF Candidate Slate.
As a party member for over a decade and a local Councillor, I see daily that Labour must reconnect with its proud Democratic Socialist roots.
