If Matthew Goodwin is the very best Reform can muster for an eminently winnable by-election, the unfeasibly warm welcomes for the worst of Johnson & Truss's flotsam & jetsam suddenly make much more sense.

Reporting Scotland last night prompting Small Nuclear Reactors for Scotland. Beware! We produce four times the natural gas we consume and transfer huge amounts of electricity to the rest of the UK – we don’t need nuclear. There are only two SMRs running in Russia and China – not tried and tested.

⚡️ Scotland is energy rich, yet has some of the highest energy bills in Europe. It's time for a fresh start with lower energy bills. Support our campaign by pledging your support and encourage your followers to do the same. www.snp.org/energy

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

He had a syringe. A syringe filled with…idk (urine?) The President of the United States has incited this kind of action against a sitting, Black woman member of Congress. Where is the “tone down the rhetoric” brigade?
