Brilliant ending! #TheTraitors

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Watch First Minister John Swinney answer MSPs’ questions at this week’s FMQs. 📺 Tune in from 12pm: www.scottishparliament.tv

Far from cutting energy bills as they promised, the Labour government is hiking the bills of Scots to pay for nuclear plants in England. In Scotland, we have vast renewable resources - and with the powers of independence, we can use them to lower bills.

It’s BRIGHTON tonight for the final gig of this first leg of the tour. Tickets available (loads of them actually so do come along if you’re nearby and fancy it). www.komedia.co.uk/shows/brian-... And thanks to everyone who came along to see us in Milton Keynes last night. That was a lot of fun.

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

Dogs Trust is running a UK campaign to restrict the use of fireworks. If you feel like it, you can email your MP via a web form. (The web page writes the email for you, but if you personalise it in some way at the beginning it may be less likely to be dismissed as campaign mail and deleted) #Dogs

Serious post……. Guys….. Call your GP or book a blood test on the nhs app for a PSA test…NOW !! If you’re over 50 they definitely won’t refuse….It’s not conclusive but it’s a good place to start. I do this annually now. Don’t feel guilty about using resources, you only get one life.

Beautiful Luna REALLY wants a home as she cries when the kennel staff go home at night 😢 possibly because her previous owners locked her outside 😞 She’s at OEH Foundation in Preesall, Lancashire to visit. Prefer a home with no dogs or a kind dog 🐶 #dogs #blueskydogs Pls SHARE

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com's tips have got us so much free money in the last two years. Make sure you're following him!

These people are idiots. And they get to vote. And this is how we've ended up where we are. I despair.

Have postponed my jab. I'm too fatigued to drive safely and don't have the energy to get the bus (which also involves a 15-minute drive).

someone special to restore him and help him sparkle once again. He was in great hands with Debbi. Seeing the neglected state Tipsy was in, his transformation is as remarkable as many of the dogs who have had the good fortune to be fostered by her over the years.

✨ Win a Rocking Horse and Support Schnauzerfest ✨ Tipsy is a 1930's rocking horse, professionally remodelled and donated by Rocking Horses Rule. Valued at £1400 he's an incredible chap. We're very lucky to have him helping our fundraising. Like many of the dogs we help, Tipsy needed TLC and

I haven't even had my covid jab yet, but I'm already so tired, I've got in bed. Night night.

What a heartwarming story. The news should feature more stories like this!

There are two girls/women (can't see them, they're a good few rows in front of me) on the train speaking so loudly. I'm deaf. I've turned my hearing aids right down and I can still hear every word. Going to find something to drown them out via Bluetooth from my phone.

So... Who wants to see how the personal shopper did..? I think she met the brief really well.

I've been so looking forward to my personal shopper appointment, but my knee/leg pain is so bad I'm not looking forward to driving to the station, then hobbling from Waverley to John Lewis. I hope the pain isn't going to spoil my day.

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...

Oh no. My massage has been cancelled. And I really needed it for my poorly leg.

Request #8538 to @bsky.app: I would love to use Bluesky regularly, but I can’t. Why? No locked/private accounts. This isn’t a nice-to-have feature. It’s a safety essential that excludes many in Mad and Disabled communities who face real risks posting publicly. Please sort this Out.

🧵 Westminster politicians have said some wild stuff over the years about Scotland… Here are just a few of their real quotes – and a reminder of why Scotland needs the power to choose its own future.

Bet he's sweating now.

It's hardly 'cutting him loose' when Charles will be paying for Andrew's accommodation and allowance out of his own money. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... And people wonder why Harry felt the need to get away from this toxic family. Andrew needs to be in court on trial in America.

Recorded crime in Scotland is at one of the lowest levels since 1974. Police numbers are higher than when the SNP came into office. And all that Anas Sarwar offers is empty rhetoric, hypocrisy and no solutions.

I cancelled the physio appointment yesterday and asked to be taken off the list. The exercises have done more harm than good. I'm looking forward to having a massage on Saturday to help ease the pain. I'm really missing the long walks with Henry and Lily.

I've been helping my mother-in-law for four years. Today, she gave me some cash and told me to treat myself to a massage. You could have knocked me down with a feather. I nearly cried. It feels so nice to be appreciated. ❤️

If 'they' have decided we all have to needlessly change the clocks again this year, the least they could do is move #TheTraitors to the 8pm slot. It feels like a long slog from now until 9pm. Who's with me?

Any knitters out there? Hats and bootees wanted for newborns in Gaza if anyone is interested @soggystitches on insta I can’t find them here

Let's flood social media with this. This is what life is really like for asylum-seekers in the UK. Nobody wants to be in that position. It's awful that there are people deliberately making things harder for those who are seeking safety here.

For anyone who liked Virgin River, give Sullivan's Crossing a go. Very similar feel to it - and stunning scenery!

The BBC is shit stirring again in Scotland about the Asylum Seekers being put into an Army Barracks in the centre of Inverness 🙄 Asylum Seekers make up a tiny proportion of the population not just in Scotland but in England too. Approx 0.6% in England & 0.67% in Scotland....

A friend needed to bake something for a fundraising bake sale. She asked if I would teach her how to make traybake. Very happy with her Mary Berry lemon drizzle.

Sooo, doing the exercises recommended by the physiotherapist has rendered me unable to take the dogs for a walk today. My right knee is so swollen and painful. The painkillers aren't even taking the edge off.

BBC reports: ‘The number of people who were murdered or killed in Scotland last year was the lowest level since records began almost 50 years ago, new figures show.’ You would never think that if you listened to Labour.

2/2 So many country people tell the same story. Older people lose their whole social lives if they don't feel safe driving at night. It's a great pity that safe travel at night is never a priority for rural communities.

1/2 I don't think LED headlight dazzle has been seen as a problem because it mainly affects country drivers. I have no problem driving on well lit main roads but as soon as you get onto winding, unlit roads you're blinded by every LED-lit car coming towards you. I try to avoid driving at night now.

So much for #DaylightStealingHours here in Scotland. Already been in bed over an hour.🥱😴 The biggest vote-winner for @thesnpmedia.bsky.social would be to say they'd abolish DST and would stick with BST, which they could rename 'Scottish Hour'. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Who agrees?

Covid jab booked at the nearest Tesco. I still think it's ridiculous I get a flu jab for free but have to pay for a Covid jab. Surely Covid is more risky for people with asthma and aspergillosis..?

I've just booked a personal shopper appointment at John Lewis in Edinburgh. I've been wanting to do it for years. I'll let you know how I get on next week.

First lot of washing is on, four gadgets are charging up, and I'm about to start ironing. #FreeLeccy #Octopus

It seems remarkable, yet true, that so many people in Scotland are apparently still ignorant of the huge stripping of Scottish devolved powers by Westminster's Powergrab in 2018. Where have you *been*?
