I never thought I’d be cheering on a former Tory Cabinet minister. But here’s to the moral clarity, courage and leadership of @kitmalthouse.bsky.social.

A community-owned island has announced a full boycott of Israel amid its genocide in Gaza

Independent Water Commission for England and Wales carefully avoids comparing customer satisfaction ratings which are much higher in Scotland: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/07/24/i...

This is about nothing other than trying to quell the calls for nationalising of E&W water supply. It's lies that, fortunately for the 'U'K govt., no journalist in the Westminster bubble has the slightest interest in finding out the facts to rebut.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

Why do the BBC treat Farage & Reform differently from all other political parties & perspectives? No other perspective get this special treatment to supposedly earn back their trust. Never happened on Scottish independence, Irish republicanism or the Greens. Why Reform?

It speaks volumes that even the food in McDonald's ads, intended to look its best, looks absolutely disgusting.
