SO retired at start of year. Yesterday, I needed a ceiling shade cleaned I couldn’t reach and when I asked later if it had been done…it had. I’m not used to this things getting done when I ask and not have to spend 3 weeks ‘reminding’.

Reform with 5 MP's gets more TV and Newspaper coverage than the Greens, SNP, Independents and Lib Dems combined. This is because Reform is owned by the billionaires who own the Media.

During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. Instead, they’ve increased them - and bills are rising again by 6.4% in April. Scotland is an energy-rich nation and the fact we’re paying sky-high prices is Westminster failure in action. We deserve better.

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

Still bemused at @savechildrenSCO rep tweeting enthusiastic praise from Labour conference praising proven serial liar Sarwar for ‘promising’ to end child poverty & doing PR photos with Labour politicians. The party currently deliberately starving kids is the problem not the solution.

More good news. And let’s not forget broadband provision is a responsibility of the UKG. But ScotGov had to step in years ago to provide it themselves because UKG wouldn’t. More mitigation for UKG betrayals & reneging on their responsibilities.

The right wing defund public institutions, then demonize them for the problems they themselves created. The end goal is privatization of everything, because it will be more profitable for them, and worse for the rest of us. Every time, every country.
