He also showed no interest in moving back to the north until his previously meteoric Westminster career – where he fit in and succeeded beyond most people's wildest dreams – stalled out, and Westminster got difficult.

Scotland subreddit an absolute state this morning

Just had the Cocteau Twins on the blower there, they're saying if Scotland beats Brazil they'll reform and do a free gig at the Falkirk stadium

Just realised Shaqiri is not even on the Swiss bench and infact retired from international football 2 years ago? Doesn't seem right at all, he should be popping up about now with a 20 yard pearler, as is traditional

Listen pal Glasgow used to have an iffy Mongolian restaurant that was ran by some Australian guys. Used to sell zebra and crocodiles n that, this isn't the 1400s anymore

In "Silencing the Past" Haitian historian Michel-Rolph Trouillot says "silences" enter the production of history at four moments: 1) the making of sources 2) the making of archives 3) the making of narratives 4) the moment of retrospective significance (the making of history in the final instance)

Big fan of Bosnia, as of right now. Wish them well and condolences for when we scud them in the final

Alistair Johnston when he actually has to do some defending:

Turned on just in time for the Bosnia goal. A multi-ethnic country riven by internal division and with an impenetrable linguistic divide, Canada is a country in North America.

The so-called 'Isle of Mann' Whomst amongst yous can honestly say that they have witnessed it with their own eyes?

People pls read the article before getting raging!

My website turns six years old! Looking back on six years of writing an article every month (without fail), it's a chance to reflect on what it has given me. But where would be the fun in that? Here's a new piece about the "abominable system"* of Manx spelling instead. dannybate.com/2026/06/10/w...

The extent to which Nationalists and people in the Republic engage with and bolster the "we're British Not Irish" stuff is counterproductive imo

The police in Northern Ireland have called the rioters fascists. Journalists, you are now safe to do the same thing if you haven't been already.

This maybe true but I also feel that loyalist paramilitary are probably unlikely to use a symbol called a 'Celtic Cross'. Absolutely a mob who prefer playing with real guns to collecting esoteric symbols

Whipping up racist pogroms in Ayr directly from Moscow- it doesn't get more on the nose that this, folks.

This is the second time in a week that the family of the victim denounced the opportunists using their kid to fuel hate, and it has made no difference to Nigel Farage and his ilk www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Putting Northern Ireland in inverted commas

Keir 'Vichy France' Starmer

Keir Starmer repeated Great Replacement Theory on national TV. The question's been answered for a long time.

Right wing papers going with "backdoor to britian" stuff this morning. "Illegals sneaking in from the Republic of Ireland" bollocks

In Yaxley-Lennon's post calling for the violence last night, he specifically mentioned to gather in Wellington Square in Ayr. Might not mean much to some but imo that is an appeal directly to loyalists. Right enough, BBC was reporting around 100 showed up

English commentators need to stop analysing Northern Ireland through an English lens! When you see anti-immigrant riots in Belfast, Ballymena or Larne and immediately reach for "Britain's far-right problem", you're missing half the story. This isn't just racism. It's loyalist terrorism. 1/

For years we've been told that we are Dangerous Nationalists or Anglophobes or evil wizards (thanks JK) or whatever . Anytime some halfwit appears with some braveheart type sign at a rally the SNP doesn't hesitate to condemn it, but the accusations will never stop

I am loath to make this a Nationalist/Unionist issue, and yet... it is essentially one side and one side alone who act like this

The incident is racist neo-Nazis wandering around in a pack and attacking anyone they decide looks like an immigrant.

My colleague @hannahalothman.bsky.social is in Belfast tonight. This is what she’s seen. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

A real challenge in Northern Irish politics is the extent to which loyalist paramilitaries seem to have reconstituted themselves as a sort of far right militia that can be mobilised against migrant communities.

Truly would be a miracle if the British national soccer team made it to the semifinals

Happy feast day of St Columba to all who celebrate. Here is the future patron saint of Scotland arriving as a migrant in a small boat. (Frank Brangwyn; artuk.org/discover/art...)

The reconstructed face of a man interred in a long cist at Bridge of Tilt, Highland Perthshire, was revealed #OTD in 2017. ‘Blair Atholl Man’ was around 45 when he died in the 5/6thC. Scientific analysis also suggests he hailed from the west coast. 📸Guard Archaeology

The Syria test never fails and that's why the vast majority of people who invoke it have had nothing to say about anything happening in southwestern Syria since December 2024

Listening to World in Motion again. Sad to say it remains a banger

I know we shouldn't respond to the trolling, but Vance implying that Sikhs are part of a "mass invasion of migrants", when they fought in tens of thousands for the British in two world wars and even THE INDIAN MUTINY is 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Fitba obsession goes back to 1457 when the Scots Parliament was so fashed about us practicing keepy uppie that it stated: "It is decretyt an ordanit that wapinschawings* be haldin fower times in the yere….an the fitba an the gowff be utterly cryit doun an nocht usit." * musters of arms

Very good article, which sticks out precisely because the UK media has been so dreadful on this. Absolutely worth reading anyway theconversation.com/who-can-carr...

"Military operations until morale improves" then is it

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.
