Rubbish from Reform that you can't report voting concerns at the time. You can bring it to the attention of the staff in the polling place or report it to the police if serious interference has happened. I've been an election agent and have reported problems to staff and on one occasion, the police.

1/ While @welfarescotland works primarily in Scotland, we are immensely concerned by increasing reports from England of letting agents and landlords requiring prospective tenants to set up limited companies and use them as a vehicle to rent or lease a residential property.

Starmer says he acted on Doyle once he knew facts. Why didn't he suspend or put pressure on Scot Lab/Anas Sarwar to suspend MSP Pam Duncan-Glancey when she admitted her ongoing friendship with the same paedophile back in 2025? Her suspension only happened after Doyle suspended yesterday. #PMQ #PMQs

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Sky News: Danish PM Mette Freideriksen’s note in the visitors book when she visited UK today

#Caturday cuddles. He's recovering from an operation and I am recovering from flu so cuddling together to feel better.

Watching FMQs. Women in the justice system are vulnerable and always have been systematically abused by men in power - police officers, prison staff, social workers, lawyers, probation officers etc. If only anti trans MSPs would raise the role of powerful men, it's core to women's abuse.

New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives. Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity. We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.

'Racism sparked anti-asylum protests'. There, I fixed that headline for you.

Well, will you look at that completely expected piece of news. The very same people who are so quick to blame migrants for all the ills of the world, are the ones posing more of a threat. Watch likes of Goodwin try and explain this away and still blame migrants. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

“Music education is also about opening people’s minds to what’s possible for us as a society.” Our Principal, Jeffrey Sharkey, has defended music education following remarks made by East-Ayrshire’s Director of Education. www.thetimes.com/article/17a4...

Good to see Woman is progressing in her career even if Woman's marital status & number of children she has, is given before her career achievements. Note for Sky News, there is no Chief Nursing Officer of the UK. Woman did hold the important position of Chief Nursing Officer of England however.

"The only thing that could've increased the humiliation would have been the holding up of a dog biscuit tho' a treat for rolling over was proffered in the form of a tech deal, which Starmer wolfed down with all the grateful tail-wagging the president demands."

This is residents in San Diego telling Ice-Gestapo agents to get TF out of their neighborhood. More of this please. 💙👊

If you could retweet my tweet below linking to my Etsy shop (2025 half calendars, July-Dec) it would put my shop in front of more eyes and would help more than you know. I'd appreciate it so much. Thankyou 🌿

Excellent from @PeterGeoghegan on far right money and women's health care.

The disgraceful EHRC misconduct is now drawing fire from the United Nations. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

The Prime Minister’s anti-immigration policies are catastrophic for our economy, NHS and especially our care sector. Yet another example of policies made at Westminster with zero regard for Scotland. Yet again, Scotland treated as an afterthought.

ICYMI “The pushback has been really strong. Some stakeholders are saying they can no longer work with us. Loads of staff say they’re looking for other jobs”

Kenmure Street, Glasgow. Four years ago. Ordinary people stopped what they were doing to protect their neighbours. No strangers. Happy Kenmure Street Day ✊

The European Court of Human Rights holds that there was no violation of Article 8 in case brought by Philip Green after he was identified under parliamentary privilege as the anonymous businessman at the centre of bulling & sexual harassment allegations. hudoc.echr.coe.int/fre?i=001-24...

#Angola has been experiencing a large #cholera outbreak since January 2025. To date, 8 000+ cases & 320+ deaths have been reported. The outbreak is affecting much of the country with the highest number of cases reported from the region around Luanda. 🧵 Here's what is known so far: bit.ly/4hRi6z2

Kind, compassionate and full of life. A politician who wore her heart on her sleeve and made the world a better place. She brought joy to everyone who knew her - especially to her soulmate, Keith, and her beloved boys, Lewis and Jack. Christina McKelvie MSP - I was so proud to call you my friend 💛

“One of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met in my life.” FM John Swinney pays tribute to Scottish government minister Christina McKelvie who has died at the age of 57 following treatment for breast cancer. Her partner, SNP depute Keith Brown, said he and her sons were “heartbroken”

DWP benefit cuts to push over 250,000 people into poverty - including 50,000 kids The damning conclusion is contained in the Department for Work and Pension's own analysis published after Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered the Spring Statement www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

👏 SNP WIN: @theSNP have gained Southside Central in Glasgow from Labour - congratulations to @mhairihunter.bsky.social and her team!

The Chancellor's so-called 'reforms' to the benefits system are nothing short of a full-frontal assault on disabled and chronically ill people. These plans are not just cruel - they are an unforgivable act of state sanctioned harm, designed (…)

Kevin Bridges got it spot on #DisabilityCuts

We are deeply concerned about the government’s £5bn cuts to disability benefits. These changes will disproportionately harm disabled people and carers, especially women, worsening existing inequalities. www.wbg.org.uk/article/wbg-...

This email has been published by the Covid Inquiry and it hints at the origins of the VIP Lane. The origins of the VIP Lane were described to me by someone in Lord Agnew's team as having been in a piece of internal comms handling. 🧵

Morning ☕️ I can’t believe my petition is now less than 1000 signatures away from a government debate. I’ve been doing this with no evangelical 💰 media or Twitter. Please share and help get this over the line. Protect us from MAGA fascism petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

If this is a prayer vigil, are they worried God will not "choose life"?

When birds of prey try to nest on or near driven grouse moors , they are never safe . This is the tragic story of a young white-tailed eagle pair . We must ban driven grouse shooting , add your name at petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700036

We are now less than 2700 signatures away from a badly needed Westminster debate on decriminalising abortion. We could hit the threshold today! There are more court hearings coming NEXT MONTH. No more punishment for pregnancy outcomes petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity must be defended. If President Trump won’t stand with us on this, a U.K. state visit shouldn’t be on the table.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.
