"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Just seen a show talking about how everyone is "taking sides" in the "Sturgeon and Salmond psychodrama", if you were wondering if our media has learned anything about how seriously it should take sexual abuse

We've saved Loch Lomond! For the last decade, we have fought to save Loch Lomond from Flamingo Land's destructive mega-resort plan. Today, their plans have been rejected! #SaveLochLomond 🚫🦩

"My message to Flamingo Land today is simple; walk away. This community and the people of Scotland have told you time and again that your destructive plans are not welcome. It’s time to accept that verdict and end this saga.: #FlamingoLand

a year is a long time in politics

"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...

If you've seen the Sunday Times today you'll know Labour Together were secretly hiring people to investigate journalists. Sadly you won't know that The National broke this story six months ago, since our work is not credited at all. Here's the original 👇 www.thenational.scot/news/2550403...

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

Anas Sarwar has been accused of 'going into hiding' and dodging media scrutiny amid the Peter Mandelson scandal

Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil. W’s “war on terror” incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went. Abolish.

Last September, Keir Starmer told the Commons that he had “full confidence” in Peter Mandelson.  Well, the public has no confidence in him. He must resign.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Come see me in Leicester in a couple of weeks - only a few tickets left events.comedy-festival.co.uk/events/robin... #comedy #poetry

Thinking of those relatively junior civil servants who were jailed for substantial periods for leaking information in return for relatively small amounts of reward during the hacking scandal.

EXCLUSIVE: A new AI data centre will result in carbon emissions equivalent to building 'another airport', campaigners have warned ahead of a crunch decision vote

Someone has messaged me on @bsky.app but I'm not allowed to view Bluesky messages because I won't give them my personal details to "prove" I'm over 18.

The test for whether sufficient Epstein documents have been disclosed is simple. Do the documents so far disclosed explain the prosecutorial decisions and defense decisions, and any court decisions? If not, there is a gap between what has been disclosed and what was before court and the parties.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

A Crisis comes to Wordle: Reusing old words! |

Peter Mandelson has claimed he does not remember receiving payments from paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein which totalled 75,000 US dollars and were made when he was a Labour MP

A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

#bbclaurak asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social, doesn't opposing genocide stir up division?

#bbclaurak tries to get a gotcha. Zack, you refuse to fly. How can you be a candidate for high office if you'd refuse to ever get on a plane? Well Laura, in that situation I'd get on a plane.

Yep just look at this

Well worth reading this piece. I hadn't realised that #SexMatters had been so explicit in their intentions re trans children, specifically. This is the horror they are knowingly visiting on kids. And they dgaf if the kids kill themselves. Which a lot of them are (see @goodlawproject.org's posts).

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes. As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them. Effectively a mark of rank.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

They won’t reveal who Alex Pretti’s murderer is because he’s probably a pardoned J6 proud boy.

What ICE is discovering is that sheer terror is not enough, and any policing of a large population needs the consent or at least the forbearance/cooperation of the community. Even the Gestapo and Stasi knew this. Turning the local population actively against you is Keystone capers.

Popped into the donut shop in Llandeilo today as they have great donuts and great music. They played Purple Rain. Love you, Minneapolis ✊💜

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Every morning I take my Dog out for a walk and a poo, in the park..it's brilliant, she always barks to let me know if someone is coming. So I can quickly pull up my jeans and pretend I was looking for her ball...

It took me a while to accept that my son was…cishet, I admit. No, I’m joking; but I did and do find it amusing that he’s the only cishet one of his cousins, whilst having the queerest parent. So much for transing our kids; I failed you guys!

Gosh, appeasing a politician who has spent his business career creating and exploiting leverage and reneging on deals on a whim did not work. Who would have thought?

This is an account set up by @natacha.bsky.social to facilitate setting up a new group. I regard the existing EHRC as not independent and consequently not legitimate. So I am looking to recruit members of an independent EHRC who can fulfill its functions with genuine integrity and… 1/4

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.

That sounds like a pretty definite admission by Kristi Noem that Jonathan Ross is the ICE officer who murdered Renee Good in Minnesota on 7th January, whom Noem intends to shield from any penalty for this crime. 🧵

Wow, the FBPE/squashed dog/steamed piss diamond crowd doesn't like this one. Funny thing is, a lot of them have also reposted a post advocating breaking ties with the US. Goldfish brains
