For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Journalist Rachel Shabi, who is Jewish, weighs in at LBC on the fallout of Bob Vylan’s controversial performance. #GazaGenocide

On the anniversary of the referendum, shall we discuss the effect on the economy? The lives of EU citizens in the UK and Brits in the EU? Northern Ireland? European security? Britain's global reputation? Nah. Let's talk about how it affected Gove's marriage.😱~AA #BrexitMemorial

Seems that, especially for younger voters, Westminster's infamous Powergrab of Scotland's devolved powers is either forgotten or unknown. Perhaps this brief summary of the history may prove useful, though since this was designed the overruling of Holyrood by Westminster has got MUCH worse.

Looks like the president of the United States has been taking advice on how to run an economy from Liz Truss… She’ll be delighted we’re talking about their crash, and not hers!

Janey nailed it

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

Accurate holographic posters about Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

That was quite a promise that he made. Then broke.

I remember my mum saying 35 years ago, the world has gone mad. I must ask her what she thinks about it now…

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

“How much has this stunt cost, the helicopters, the police, council arrangements, how much do you think that might have cost? Like the royals or not “They are a symbol and an expression of total desperation & this is publicity stunt for an English monarch.” www.thenational.scot/news/2486293...

It's very obvious now that the only capital investments Westminster will make in Scotland are those which boost the extraction of Scottish resources. It's almost as though they expect us to become independent & are trying to squeeze as much out of us as they can before we leave.

....and another thing.

Is Michael Shanks MP going to speak out against today's betrayal of waspi women or will his careerism win out again? File that under - Questions we already know the answer to.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda. For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

Pretty much.

If you think Nigel farage and Jeremy clarkson have the interests of the farmers at the heart of their actions, I have some tap water to sell you.

For those who have been looking and haven’t found them @believeinscotland.bsky.social are here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Ugh. Just look at this band of v dismal Tories, grabbing the stage at the farmers’ “rally”. The same people who limited our rights to protest, betrayed farmers with their Brexit lies and then shafted them with their idiotic replacement trade deals. A photo op of pure hypocrisy and bullshit concern.

Now Anas Sarwar says he will “reinstate” the winter fuel payments. Yet here is Anas Sarwar just last month voting AGAINST reversing the winter fuel cuts! This is simply another lie from Sarwar and Labour trying to bribe voters for the future Scottish election after their ratings have dropped.

Brilliant gig tonight at the o2 academy in Glasgow. Rag n bone man. As my sister said, he could sing the phone book and it’d sound good!

40% of UK Farmland is owned by billionaires. Now you know why they are so angry it will be taxed.

If the UK government are for growth and recovering the economy, why are they not even considering the customs union and the single market? I don’t get it. Well I do. It’s political and for the party interests, not for the interests of the people. They need to be asked about it. Repeatedly.

@lesleyriddoch.bsky.social is here now. I’m happy now all my favs are present and correct ✔️

It’s lovely to scroll down my timeline and see posts from people I actually follow. Sharing musings, having a little back and forth. Not a blue tick in sight. Just people sharing, not trying to provoke or trigger people. Nice one Bluesky.

Thanks for the follows folks. I’ve been on threads for a year and I already have double the follows I had on there, in 12 hours! I’m looking forward to the political musings and insights from you all. I’m not averse to the odd cat photo either! 😉

Recent refugee from Twitter. It appears that more of those I followed on there are here as opposed to Threads. Interested in Scottish politics, particularly the case for Scottish independence (non partisan). Also love live music/theatre. Give me a follow is what I post might interest you 👍
