Highly unprofessional from McInnes

This is an absolute disgrace of an article. 7% of the electorate in this council ward voted for Reform and yet the BBC News report it as this.

Who knew? Free healthcare, free education, affordable childcare, paid leave & a social contract between government & citizens really matters.

If you’re fluent in large dark rectangle, these files are pretty damning stuff

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Fly me to the moon Mr Bond. Feeling slightly more optimistic with this one.

Santa Kingsley. First seen on this day in 2015.

Son is part of a programme at school that discusses gender violence and discrimination with 1st and 2nd year pupils, so a form of this already exists in Scotland. No problem is ever solved until the root cause is addressed; misogynistic boys become misogynistic men

Oh

Nigel Farage said that the 'Raise the Colours' campaign was a "grassroots movement driven by ordinary people”. Kemi Badenoch said they should be "welcomed" as a symbol of "unity" Now the campaign has pivoted to racially abusing migrants and intimidating charity workers on the beaches of France

The question remains why a supposedly left-wing magazine would publish a piece in support of a political party with a clearly laid out fascist agenda? bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/12/17/a...

🚨David McLennan is Reform UK's first elected councillor in Scotland. He won a by-election in Whitburn last week. He claims to be a retired police officer, but David actually left the force after being charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice, we reveal tonight.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Massive congratulations to St Mirren. Fantastic achievement and totally deserved.

Might be delivered with an investment banker's unwavering confidence but the grim shallowness of Reform's diagnosis of and prescription for Scotland's ills is laid bare in this interview. And, no, being a bit skint at Uni doesn't give you any real insight into poverty www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from Stephen Cushion. www.enhancingimpartiality.com/blog/broadca...

@greigforbes.bsky.social Watched the Night of the Hunter for the first time in ages. Everyone rightly praises Mitchum, and he is astonishing. For me, Lillian Gish was amazing. I was pure greeting at the end. What a film.

Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite. This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum. Big issues we need to understand. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Lord Malcolm Offord defected from the Scottish Tories to Reform. Appearing on #bbcqt he has ZERO feel for the public. He defended FIFA's extortionate ticket pricing in the World Cup & boasted he already has tickets. Doubt we will be seeing more of him as the public face of Reform in Scotland.

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.” Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

Labour’s shift away from “immigration is good but it needs to be managed” to “it is bad” is a gift to essentially everyone they compete with, because it means that they don’t have the right position to be able to attack *anyone*.

'us v them' framing in all its guises is utterly poisonous to social democracy and therefore should be avoided like the plague by anyone interested in progressing anything that vaguely looks like social democracy

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Proud to stand with so many trade unionists, community groups and activists, to say no to fascism and the far right. We can't let the billionaires divide us! Ordinary people need to stand together to demand a better world for all!
