I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

What a great day for @pedalonparliament.org - thanks for letting me speak about my love for cycling and the importance of getting safe infrastructure right for everyone , including pedestrians and also women cycling at night!

Well done to the organisers of #pop26 Pedal on Parliament, getting so many people together to campaign for safer #cycling. Good to hear from @kate-c.bsky.social @sannedd.bsky.social @patrickharvie.bsky.social and Rose speaking about her daughter Emma Burke Newman, tragically killed cycling in 2023.

I have just written to the National Police Chiefs Council to explain the importance of this wonderful event and to ask for an exemption to their policy on police escorts so that the Taxi Outing can still go ahead this year.

Liberal Democrats know our future is at the heart of Europe, and we have a credible plan to get there. It starts with a UK-EU Customs Union.

Our amendment on the order paper for tomorrow - calling on the UK government to negotiate a customs union with the EU, as the first step to getting back to the heart of Europe. We hope all those Labour MPs quietly agreeing with us will do the right thing and vote for our amendment tomorrow.

Still cycling to work!! (Yes I’m very lucky to be able to do that)

Looking forward to the North Edinburgh Community Festival, this Saturday 12-5:30pm - see you there?

What an immense honour to have been elected as the Lib Dem MSP for the new Edinburgh Northern constituency. THANK YOU to everyone who supported me - but whether you voted for me or not, I’ll work my socks off for you! Ready for work on Monday 💪

Wow! 🤩 It’s not often you accidentally bump into a Commonwealth medallist! What a delight to chat about the joys of cycling and our favourite local paths with Scottish legend Brian Temple, who won a silver medal on the Meadowbank track back in 1970!

Fab to see the regs laid today to ban plastic in single use wet wipes! Our @mcsuk.bsky.social volunteers have picked up thousands from Scottish beaches and across the UK! This will help wet wipe free beaches but also remember to only flush the three pees - pee, poo and toilet paper!

At Council today Lib Dems asked that Edinburgh Council @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social consider moving the hugely popular travel and helpdesk accounts over from X to Bluesky. Hope this can happen soon!

Devastated. Kirsty was a wonderful human being, a bright star and an inspiration as a successful woman in politics. She was unfailingly kind and supportive and I’ll forever cherish the meandering chats about politics, the importance of science and life in general on her visits to Edinburgh.

This whole saga is heartbreaking. When your child is diagnosed with cancer, as a parent you spend EVERY waking minute trying to stop them from getting an infection. The hospital should be the safest place to be for these kids and that it wasn’t is horrifying, especially if people knew this 💔

Thanks so much @seascotland.bsky.social for giving me a chance to talk about my love of the ocean and how we should be looking after our local marine spaces! 🌊

This record of failure shows water regulation in our country is broken. Water companies are getting away with polluting our rivers on an industrial scale and face little more than a slap on the wrist.

Unbelievable that bottom trawling is still allowed in the UK’s marine protected areas. It’s extremely destructive for marine life and should be banned in all MPAs #ocean www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And the embarrassment that is current #Dutchpolitics continues as the Govt falls because Wilders’ colleagues don’t want to implement his illegal and unworkable migration proposals. Guess what - right-wing populists making promises they cannot keep and then blaming others for their failure 🤷‍♀️

Teachers need to be given the tools and the time to do their jobs without burning out. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ten years on, we still feel the loss of Charles Kennedy. Charles was principled, kind and possessed an unmatched talent for connecting with people - he was a great friend and an outstanding leader. I know he would have been so proud to see his old seat back in Lib Dem hands.

The ban on disposable vapes starts today. Good news for our environment and, hopefully, the start of a turnaround on vaping numbers among young teenagers. Thanks to everyone who made this happen, not least @lesswastelaura.bsky.social who campaigned for this tirelessly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hello! 👋 this feels a bit like moving house, I wonder if the neighbours are nicer than at the old place 😄
