The @ipso.co.uk ruling of Telegraph’s preposterous “We earn £345k but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays”, reveals the article to have been a fabrication. There is no such family as Al, Alexandra, Ali, Harry and Barry Moy. Glad to have acted as lead complainant on this.

What a result for Hearts.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail. Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis. Hmmmmmm.

My "not a branch office" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

Comedy genius Stan Laurel died on this day in 1965. Ulverston-born, he did a fair bit of his growing up in Glasgow, while his dad managed the old Metropole Theatre, next door to the Scotia Bar. Stan also made his stage debut in Glasgow, at the Pantopticon Music Hall, on Trongate.

Outstanding result for @partickthistle.bsky.social women today as they claim a top six place.

There’s been a glitch in the Matrix.

Closer examination of the Epstein files provokes fresh questions about Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy and his brother Christian’s development of the One Hyde Park super-prime apartment block: messages within the latest release appear to contradict their tax-avoiding account of the project.

The People's Palace is an important working-class history museum which tells the story of how ordinary people banded together and challenged bosses, landlords and governments to make Glasgow and Scotland a better place to live and work. It's shocking it will now remain closed. From Go Radio on X.

Farage talks about the Second World War quite a lot for someone who would inevitably have spent it interned on the Isle of Man.

The 23 Labour MPs who were funded by the shady “think tank” Labour Together, formerly led by Morgan Mcsweeney and Josh Simons. Good work @agcreports.bsky.social

I can’t remember the last time a single photo dominated the front page of every major newspaper in the UK. Phil Noble of Reuters, take a bow. 👏🫡

We're being subjected to a deluge of medieval anti-science claptrap from the right-wing press. Meanwhile, anti-vax attitudes are rising and measles is back. Their opinions are not just "hot takes" – they're wrong and dangerous.

2 million people in the UK are paid the national minimum wage. Reform are a party of the rich, for the rich.

As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances
