I think we can all agree that nobody cares where Lincolnshire is. But more importantly, Aberdeen is west of Birmingham. Look it up.

This seems a bit melodramatic from ParliamentLive.tv.

Social security bods… is the comparison in the article an entirely fair one? This sounds more like a situation where someone would claim new style contributions-based ESA if they weren’t yet of SPA? Isn’t the reference to the base UC rate a little bit of a red herring?

Imagine being such a moronic organisation that you make Michael Stewart look like the Scottish football good guy. Absolute heads gone at Hampden Towers.

What’s that? The lease explicitly states that notices, including notices for Insurance Rent, can only be given in writing and that e-mail is expressly excluded as a valid form of written notice? Oh dear, Grangeford Asset Management. Oh dear oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear!

They went "to the Moon" in the same way as people who fly to London Southend flew "to London"

In the latest episode of why leasehold is a scam, some of my neighbours have just been hit with a £937 “late payment” penalty on a £215.40 buildings insurance invoice. By a new freeholder owned and represented by Grangeford Asset Management. No reminders. Straight to threats to repossess!

These guys on Artemis II are going to have to repopulate Earth from scratch, aren’t they?

Those Thistle fans of a certain vintage will liken this to Sean Welsh being expected back from injury in six weeks.

It’s good for the soul

Ooft. The camera wasn’t even ready for that.

They've launched Mario Rail with only a 100cc option. Sad. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Man City celebrating winning the League Cup with all the emotional enthusiasm of someone who’s just drawn a Twix in a church tombola. The game has gone.

Snort.

Well at least we don't need to want England to win now.

Fuck VAR

VAR needs to get in the bin. It just doesn't work in football. It ruins it. This isn't rugby or cricket. Don't pretend like it is.

It's the most Scotland to ever Scotland if a Grand Slam and Six Nations title is squandered because of a defeat to Italy in the rain.

This is turning into a bit of a 7s match.

Kermit, yer pals are boiled.

Right that's time ref.

Scottish and Welsh voters looking on as England rediscovers the concept of a three way marginal.

Some really good, impartial, explanatory journalism here from @bbcphilipsim.bsky.social Most of the debate on the dual role has focused on “perceptions” of independence. That’s clearly important But not all of the current distrust of these institutions is healthy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

150 years of Partick Thistle today. From that first 1–0 at Overnewton Park to everything we’ve ridden out since, the fans have kept this club standing. Your love and your graft matter more than you know. Now, as a fan‑owned club, we get to write the next 150 together 🔴🟡

An extroverted lady on the train keeps mispronouncing the name of my cat after gently being corrected about it twice and I am not coping.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "There's no such thing as ministerial advice, they're just having a chat"

This is a bit too Leslie Knope for me.

If your company paid to have an in-game advert during the Six Nations I am now going to boycott you.

Really sad to learn of this. Jim was a really kind man. Generous with his time, and driven by duty. Steely in an understated way. A real loss. I came across Jim in several capacities. Political. Legal. Spiritual. Academic. Always unfailingly decent and fair minded. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah yes, Blackheath. Probably the least densely built on bit of Lewisham and Greenwich combined. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Deserved.

This morning the Scottish Affairs Committee published a report on the draft Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2026. The report makes some important observations about how the UK and Scottish Parliaments scrutinise Scotland Act orders ⤵️ committees.parliament.uk/publications...

NATO has Highland Titlesed Greenland, hasn't it?

This BBC piece doesn't correctly capture what a s104 order is & who makes it. A s104 order doesn't allow "Holyrood ministers to change reserved laws". It allows *UK Ministers* to change the law to deal with consequences of Holyrood changing the law in a devolved area. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How about Trump can have Greenland, but he has to live there for three years first, unassisted, and any KFC, golf equipment or Diet Coke imported into Greenland for his benefit attracts a 1,000,000% tariff?

I see that the separation of powers has been another casualty today. "On the official government website"

Flower of Scotland is not anti-English. “Proud Edward’s Army” contained a significant Welsh contingent, Edward himself (and indeed the Bruces) were fundamentally just French and Bannockburn should be seen as part of an eccentric sideshow in a Norman civil war. In this essay I will…

The BBC has been going REALLY heavy on the “funded by you” patter in recent months hasn’t it?

Nothing less than the abolition of Greenock. With retrospective effect. #HavingAParty

What does a cat think when they see/realise that the human controls (artificial) light? How, if at all, does a dog think differently? Is this perceived differently with lights operated by physical switches compared with those operated via voice assistants/other activation methods?

If you’re being railroaded from your core priorities by an item under “AOCB” doesn’t that just suggest that you’re reading the agenda of every meeting ever upside down? AOCB is literally the bit at the end when everyone stops pretending to listen and makes their fake excuses to leave.

When those Omaze style draws do an advert and they talk about a “dream multi million pound home” and in Cumbria it’s a mansion with separate wings, multiple reception rooms, a triple garage and several acres of land but then in London it’s a cosy 3 bedroom semi.

Oh mate. You are the middle management.

So there's a Traitor and there's three bits of bait.

What do you mean there’s no Jackie Bird, I want my licence fee back. Weak start, 2026.
