Labour are total disgrace:

Fresh and happy models of being male are needed

So many men are sad, lost, lonely, angry.

We've released a really radical podcast on being a pal, lover, son, dad, explored in poetry and chat by Michael Pedersen and Andrew Greig

Israeli forces demolish the entire Bedouin village of Wadi Khalil in the Negev/ Naqab. No reason other than wanton destruction, to advance settler colonialism. Nothing whatsoever to do with “security.”

The scenes coming from Rafah are hellish. This is a matter of global conscience and cannot be avoided or ignored. Many remain utterly detached. Emily Thornberry a case study. She says unless the IDF are “really careful, innocent people might die.” Surreal - in the darkest way.

From a British perspective, this is quite shocking, both because judges seem to be entering into a political dispute and because they are punishing groups collectively, irrespective of individual involvement in these protests. America is a foreign country.

Enough to pay a 'people's dividend' of £10 in each of those three months to every person in the UK. Worth considering how many people could have avoided fuel poverty with that.

After Keir Starmer made his comments on LBC about Israel having the right to cut off water and power to Gaza, Emily Thornberry went on Newsnight & was asked about those comments & she defended them

Well done to Ash Sarkar for challenging her on that

Emily Thornberry thinks we're stupid.

One of those countries is Denmark where citizens who own land in Scotland pay land taxes on it to their home municipality but pay no comparable tax to any Scottish local authority. Lets implement some of the measures that make those countries successful x.com/HolyroodDaily/…

So many minor improvements to legislation die in Parliament because 'I of course support the principle here, but for technical reasons or undefined unexpected consequences I can't back this wording, no, I don't intend to bring any alternative way to do it'

Hatred of the SNP and the left has reached levels of absurd radicalisation

There’s legitimate criticism and then there’s outright venom, conspiracy, hypocrisy, hysteria, hyperbole and lies

The unionist right has lost the plot

Heavy bombardment over Rafah as Israel confirm invasion. The genocidal intent could not have been more glaring, as the ICJ itself stated. Eternal shame on all states and politicians who have aided and abetted this crime against humanity. History has already condemned you.

🔴REVEALED: Richard Tice has used two companies to channel more than £2 million into Reform over the last four years

Reform’s accounts admit that it needed Tice’s cash to stay afloat

Like Jeremy Hunt, Tice is using his own money to bankroll his political career - is this how…

Not sure why I turn on the radio and the only voice quoted by BBC on Scottish politics is Alex *******Salmond.

So after 24 hrs, the tourism industry pile on to this begins. Because in today's all-or-nothing culture, you can't call for limits on tourism without being accused of being against tourism, full stop. No room for nuance.

This isn't technically untrue but, of course, they're not the largest party in Scotland. This is a flex about their achievement in the English local elections.
