Good Baillieston man that Shankland

While Westminster is distracted by utter chaos, I will always focus on Scotland’s priorities. My government will deliver swift and urgent action on the cost of living - capping food prices, lowering the cost of commuting and supporting first-time buyers.

Josh Simons? Josh Simons of Labour Together? Josh Simons of 'send all the asylum seekers to a Scottish island'? Josh Simons of paying hacks to stalk and discredit journalists? Josh Simons of nobody owes his seat to the Starmer-McSweeney project more? Well, okay, if you insist...

A Politically Exposed Person buying a £1.4m house with cash that they got from crypto seems like the sort of thing that would set off *all* the money-laundering checks?

Me explaining VAR to people who don’t like football: so each team pays about £100k a year to get some referees to watch the game in an office somewhere Them: so they can make sure there are no mistakes? Me: absolutely not, no

I imagine that's the last we'll hear of anti-Celtic refereeing conspiracies, though - right?

Mind that penalty hearts should’ve had a fir park last week 🙃

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

HERE IT IS! In August 2025, a massive landslide brought a big chunk of mountainside into the Tracy Arm fjord in Alaska, causing the second-largest tsunami ever recorded. My latest for @eos.org is the story of the forensic investigation, and why the culprit is climate change: 🧪

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet. Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire. It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

Màiri says what we’re all thinking👇

The BBC’s ‘ideological conformity’ makes it pro-Israel, biased against the SNP, tilted to the rightwing and a megaphone for ‘big business’ rather than the people That’s what Scotland’s leading academic on the media told me when I spoke to her for my Sunday Big Read In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

‘A biased, London-centric branch office’: Scotland’s top media academic on BBC Scotland Professor Catherine Happer leads Glasgow University’s acclaimed Media Group. I talk to her about government interference in reporting and why the BBC is haemorrhaging public trust In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Strong #earthquake with a magnitude of M7.4 off east coast of Honshu, Japan, a few minutes ago. Here's the seismic signal of my Raspishake seismometer 12 mins after origin time in Herne, Germany, which is 9000 km away from the epicenter. 🧪⚒️ #geology @raspishake.bsky.social

The ball & the Equality in Action Award continue the legacy of Christina McKelvie. Christina consistently championed our work & the wider movement to create real positive change for LGBTQIA+ people. Her impact is lasting & spaces like this reflect the care & commitment she brought to equality work

We were so proud to celebrate two of our incredible partners, Lucas from Queer Disabled Edinburgh and Mahasin from exhale.group, on Saturday at the Christina Mckelvie Ball, where they were inaugural nominees for the Equality in Action Award.

The Christina McKelvie Celebration Ball honoured the life and legacy of the late Christina McKelvie MSP, one of Scotland’s most passionate advocates for equality, diversity and human rights. “If we could all be a bit more Christina, the world would be a better place” @respectme-scotland.bsky.social

I’m sorry, what reality-eating brainworm is this, Ezra Klein?

This is a good illustration of how far right views are being mainstreamed in the UK. Johnson says Charlie Kirk didn’t have extremist views. This is the same Charlie Kirk who said black people were better off under slavery and pushed the far right ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory.

Keir Starmer is in freefall. 14 months into his Premiership he is a disastrous leader with no vision, no ability to lead & inspire a team, and no story to tell. He cannot lead Labour into the next election. And if he does not go soon he should be challenged. Labour & the UK cannot go on like this.

net immigration fell by more than half last year and the politics has gone in the complete opposite direction. It's not really about the numbers

This is precisely what this decision will do. It will absolutely render women and children radically unsafe, and closes YET ANOTHER safe and legal route. All so that a far-right mob are appeased and a far right discourse is fully entertained, in all sense of that word.

Kemi Badenoch is evil.

The reasons for Kate’s announcement are valid but also sad, we have so far to go in making politics accessible for people who have families. We’re losing too many women to the pressures imposed on family life in politics. Good luck to Kate and her family.

❗️Today's 8.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred near 🇷🇺Kamchatka was felt by local residents like this

Last night's M8.8 quake in the Pacific was easily detected in #Edinburgh . The gravity meter rattled against its end stops and then got stuck; I will try to unstick it later today. ( #geophysics #seismology ) (1/3)

Magnitude 8.7 #earthquake in Kamchatka, following a M7.4 last week - may be largest earthquake since 2011, 8th largest on record globally, #tsunami warning in place for US west coast and Canada - the historic 1952 M9 closely caused a destructive tsunami across the Pacific

Tsunami alerts have been issued in multiple countries after a magnitude 8.7 earthquake struck off Russia’s eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. 🟡 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/6ufpwz

Another day, another slaughter of desperate Palestinians looking for food, as Western leaders fall over themselves to express renewed support for Israel.

As polling day draws near in the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election, I wanted to share some thoughts. My family and I have been heartened by the fantastic effort of SNP members to win this by-election following the death of mum.

Farage has no solutions for working people. He would cut Scotland’s budget, while the SNP is putting your priorities first: ✅ Scrapping peak rail fares ✅ Delivering more NHS appointments ✅ Restoring winter fuel payments #VoteSNP to stop Farage and for a better Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What nonsense. My mum served Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse for 14 years without living in the constituency. The countless cards and letters from constituents of mum demonstrated how loved she was by many people across the constituency, she felt adopted by Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse.

One of the biggest earthquake hazards of Europe is in the sea of Marmara, the sea south of the major city of Istanbul. We've been expecting earthquakes there since the 1999 Izmit quake. Today's 6.2 Earthquake occurred on the edge of the fault zone making that sea. So far, no major damage reported.

Good article. Much more considerate and understanding, focusing on the real issues compared to Joani Reid’s horrendous dehumanising article. Well done Monica Lennon.

SNP Win: Congratulations to Mike Carlin who has won the Broxburn, Uphall & Winchburgh by-election for the SNP!
