Find the beauty anywhere you can. Let it sustain you for a day, an hour, even a minute. Because that's all we really have.

So let me get this right: the British Government wants to raise taxes and spend more on "defence" so it can send fighter jets to defend genocidal Middle Eastern governments when they preemptively attack their neighbours, and those neighbours retaliate?

BBC Newswatch desperately trying to justify their excessive exposure of ReformUK today, but every argument only supports the complaints. Of course, their support will grow if the other parties don't even get the airtime to promote their own policies! Absolutely outrageous bias from the BBC. 😡

Shrink from it? He can hardly wait to deliver for his investors.

By Israel logic; does this not give licence for EU & the UK to bomb indiscriminately into Tel Aviv to retrieve the hostages?

Which makes government’s refusal to even consider it all the more reckless @weownit.org.uk👇

David Attenborough's #OceanFilm reminds us that our oceans are intricately connected to all life on Earth. As the final report of GCEW shows, we must govern the entire hydrological cycle—from oceans to soil—as a global common good. An economics of water must recognise these planetary connections.

Unless the most recent position updates were wrong (they won’t have been) I don’t believe Madleen could have reached Israeli waters by the time she was boarded. In which case this is an act of piracy on a British vessel. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk please raise in HoC and with PM directly.

Update from the Madleen Freedom Flotilla

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

The new link to track Madleen. please circulate it all over the internet so ALL EYES stay on MADLEEN. live.garmin.com/session/b2e0...

"It is down to Britain’s reliance on gas". Again, @theguardian.com , you mean England's reliance on gas. With Westminster setting prices for Scotland based on England's energy reliance, we pay far more than is necessary. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A brand new piece on Starmer’s refusal to consider rejoining the EU and what MPs really think about this. /2 #TruthToPower @sussexbylines.co.uk sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/why...

Disgraceful

Yup. Scotland produces the cheapest electricity in Europe, yet pays the very high electricity bills that the UK decides. Scotland is subsidising England's electricity bills.

A tactic used by unionists on twitter for many years, and now becoming much more common on BlueSky, is for them to tie up indy supporters in pointless hair-splitting arguments. It's a waste of our valuable campaigning time. Resist the impulse to do it. If you manage this, tell me how.

Wow--the collapse of Europeans visiting the USA in one search. Mid June is usually one of the busiest and most expensive times of the year to travel from London to New York. I just went and did a search, and economy fares are widely available for fewer than £400.

Repeated again as BBC Scotland link the privately-owned and neglected Ardrossan Harbour to the Scottish Government: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/11/w...

Why are Cayman-registered companies getting UK farm subsidies? Norfolk’s biggest landowners include foreign billionaires exploiting loopholes while farmers lose their land. @owensennitt.bsky.social reports #FairFarming

You know the idea is good when you’ve finally gone to bed and you’re typing it on your phone in the dark at 4:30 am. Let’s hope the inspiration is still here in the morning. Er… later in the morning.

The North Bridge’s cast iron façade is one of the most impressive elements of the Category A Listed Structure. These images show some of the expert work that we're carrying out to ensure that this piece of Edinburgh's heritage is preserved for future generations.

The US is now working with a dictatorship to kill Ukrainian civilians. It is a conscious enemy of freedom and democracy in Europe. Here is the conclusion of the piece.

Hi All, just sent out this free piece. Trump is actively working with Putin to see Ukrainian civilians killed, some now and more in the future. He is depriving Ukraine of vital anti air defense, which the Ukrainians are willing to buy (helping the US economy) open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Chap from Energy UK on #Wato explaining that it's the price of wholesale gas which sets the wholesale electricity price. And we are uniquely vulnerable to shocks in the gas market. Montagu brings up the net zero canard, but Energy UK rejects this suggestion. Will Nick Robinson be listening?

Robinson isn't the only one to incorrectly blame net zero for steel industry chaos Lack of industrial strategy & high gas prices, which remain volatile, are the final straw Robinson should focus on these facts, not try to be sensationalist about new coal mines and score cheap headlines.

Anyone still wondering whether to believe the “net zero is expensive” misinformation needs to read this series of rebuttals.

@anassarwar.bsky.social @ianmurraymp.bsky.social what say you?

No, no, it's resisting invasion that starts the war. And why were you invaded? Because you asked for it, by wearing those revealing clothes.. And if you hasn't resisted, it wouldn't be rape.

Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

There we go. Support this man.

The Union Dividend for Scotland is 'jam tomorrow'whilst oor resources are plundered and extracted. Yet simultaneously, Scotland is undergoing a forced decline in what's left of oor industrial base whilst 'cables' & ships can at source carry away the 'goods' of Scotlands old & new Energy Revolution

Just like Farage in Little England.

russia invaded Ukraine. Twice. russia launches missiles at Ukrainian cities. Daily. russia murders, tortures and kidnaps Ukrainians. Hourly. Unprovoked and unjustified. Stand with the victim, blame the aggressor. We are stronger when united. #StandWithUkraine

Trump to Bukele on Salvadoran concentration camps: “Home-growns are next. You’re going to have to build about five more places.”

A PDF of the study is also available on Congress' website at this link: docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/... The point isn't that these studies are no longer available anywhere. It's that the Trump administration is trying to hide them. This is knowledge you ought to have and share widely. (4)

🧵 Let's talk about hunger in the UK. Parents are skipping meals so their kids can eat. People are frightened about rising energy bills. We've even heard from people who are surviving on sugary tea for days because they don't have enough money for food. This isn't right.

protonsforbreakfast.wordpress.com/2025/04/14/t... I used a model by @daanwalt3r.bsky.social (Daan Walters) to investigate how the cost of 1 GW of firm electricity varies in a plant with various combinations of gas, solar PV and batteries. Adding Solar PV makes electricity cheaper!

If Labour at Westminster can nationalise British Steel, why not the same for Grangemouth? If it can fund London’s supercomputer, it can reinstate Edinburgh’s. If it green-lights carbon capture in England, the north-east of Scotland must follow. Scotland’s people deserve better.

Scotland’s people deserve better. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 #ScottishIndependence

World leaders have responded to russia's brutal attack on Sumy, condemning the aggressive act, expressing their condolences, and calling for increased pressure on the terrorist state. We thank them for their support. #StandWithUkraine

NHS for sale in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 If Labour get their way in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 next year the same will happen, guaranteed. Another reason not to vote for them..

Don't visit the USA, don't buy from the USA, they have no respect for anyone, lets have no respect for them until they get rid of that orange moron.

It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States
