The album "Peter Gabriel (Car)" was released on 25 February 1977. Gabriel's first solo success came with the album's lead single "Solsbury Hill", which Gabriel has said is about "being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get ... It's about letting go." #PeterGabriel

Sometimes murdering a convoy of ambulances and then burying the evidence is "defending yourself."

The Scottish Budget has just passed in the Scottish Parliament. We are delivering on what matters most to you - putting more money in your pocket, improving our NHS and tackling child poverty. Read this for a short summary. 🧵👇

Good luck to Hannah Spencer and our friends in the @greenparty.org.uk ahead of tomorrows vote. This election is about hope versus hate. Greens versus Reform. If people want to keep Reform out, then they need to vote Green on the 26th February. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

In Gorton and Denton, vote for Hannah Spencer & the Greens. There is only one way we will defeat Reform: by working together.

In a few hours in Gorton and Denton - you have the opportunity to transform our politics. A vote for Hannah Spencer & the Green Party will entirely change our national conversation. And Hannah will be brilliant for Manchester. Check her out 👇🏼 youtu.be/uCy0VdHTVvs?...

Palestinians in Gaza are observing the holy month of Ramadan amid Israel’s attacks and near-total blockade on food and humanitarian aid. Families have gathered across Gaza for Iftar, a meal at sunset to break the daily fast.

My latest blog piece, the second poll within a month puts the SNP on track to win a majority in its own right in Holyrood in May, with the added bonus that Jackie Baillie loses her seat. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/25/s...

'The announcement comes amid a surge in Israel’s rhetoric signalling a drive towards the full occupation of the West Bank, after months in which its focus had centred on annexation plans and the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip.'

I was at the Kenmure Street protest – here's my verdict on the documentary 👇

Israeli soldiers fired nearly a thousand bullets—at least eight of them at point-blank range—killing 15 Palestinian aid workers last year in a massacre in south Gaza. That’s according to a joint investigation by the independent research groups Earshot and Forensic Architecture published Monday.

I should post more about how I play guitar

In perhaps one of the worst troubling moments of his speech, Trump claimed that the war in Gaza was over, but for “little flames.” The “little flames” were the lives of more than 600 Palestinians murdered by Israel since the start of the ceasefire.

NHS Scotland makes ‘undeniable progress’ with 50% or more, cuts in longer waiting time lists but is completely ignored by BBC Scotland news editors talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/02/25/n...

Many Dems are also complicit. They too have benefitted from the same system. Time for a complete overhaul. Trump is the symptom. Capitalism is the disease.

Labour needs to stand aside and encourage Green votes

If Labour followed its own logic, it would now step aside and let the Greens walk home in this crucial by-election. It is hard to imagine how Starmer and co could have made a bigger fist of this - and of everything. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

. The former Labour PM Gordon Brown is right - don't vote for the lying snake-oil salesman Nigel Farage and his bunch of second-rate tories in Thursday's byelection in Gorton and Denton! #r4today #bbcbreakfast #GMB #politicslive #PMQs #C4News #Newsnight #toriesgone600 #GortonAndDenton .

The Gaza genocide, in its relentless accumulation of dead children, obliterated neighborhoods, and starved bodies, is an assault on the capacity of Palestinians to be horrified by everyday atrocities and enchanted by the possibilities of liberation.

The Green Party are ahead among likely voters in Gorton and Denton. But only just. They'll only win if more people sign up to knock on doors on election day - tomorrow. Consider helping to change the course of history! 👇 tinyurl.com/gdpollingday

Mainstream press aren’t talking about this… Can we make it go viral?

Phoned docs today 2pm. Wanting emergency appt. Doctor called me at 3 to go up at 4. Blood tests done, samples to do, xray at hospital tomoro and catch up when results back. Thank you Scottish NHS. We are quick to moan so heres a thankful post for a change

Hearing now how every transfer of resources from NHS into private sector reduces the capacity of public sector. 30 per cent is now more realistic figure for privatisation of the NHS - 5 big cataract surgery firms making 32% return on investment, £169m profit

"The situation in Gaza remains catastrophic. Palestinians are still dying from Israeli fire, cold, hunger, and treatable diseases. The aid allowed in is not enough to meet the massive needs," Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, addressing the 61st session of the Human Rights Council

Children with special educational needs often thrive in creative subjects.🎨🎵 But in the past decade, music, drama & art have been severely cut from the curriculum. I asked how the School White Paper will broaden the curriculum to support neurodiverse learners who benefit from these subjects.

More than 75,000 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza, with tens of thousands more still missing beneath the rubble. They did not die to “build a home,” or privatize their beaches. They had homes and free beaches. #OPINION by Jamal Kanj Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260223-tru...

I know frustrating the 8am rush for a GP appointment can be. That’s why we’re opening 16 new GP walk-in clinics across Scotland, open 7 days a week, 12-8pm - and investing to recruit more doctors. I will leave no stone unturned to make sure the NHS always works for you.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together. That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election. We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Released 19 Feb 1971, The Yes Album by Yes. The album was a critical success & major breakthrough for Yes, who were at risk of being dropped by Atlantic due to the commercial failures of their 1st 2 albums. It made No.4 in the UK & No.40 in the US, & was later certified platinum by the RIAA. #Yes

Helluva birthday! Finally one of the arrogant elite being held to account (we hope and pray)

Alright now… hold on a second. Do not adjust that dial. King Records just sent over a side from a brand-new wax, still carrying that pressing-plant perfume. A young preacher with a perm and a pocket full of urgency out of Georgia. And I hear the young man wrote it himself.

In energy-rich Scotland, people’s energy bills are sky-high. That’s unacceptable. With our limited powers, we are doing what we can to tackle fuel poverty - but only with independence we can use our vast energy resources to benefit Scotland’s people and lower the bills.

Cripes. See aw the yoons saying deid Lizzie would be mortified about her laddies arrest? She kent fine well and bailed him oot. SHE KNEW.... and if she knew, MI6 & MI5 knew.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

An new report from @thejerusalempost.bsky.social revealed that up to 130 international lawyers helped the IDF & its soldiers evade accountability for war crimes. On Oct 7, 2023, these lawyers began manufacturing legal consent for an all out assault on Gaza.

What looks like chaos from the outside, the culture war provocations, the deliberate destabilisation of alliances is the systematic dismantling of every institution, regulation, and democratic norm that stands between concentrated corporate power and total control. open.substack.com/pub/european...
