e.g. I think it’s a bit rich for certain Green supporters to claim that Labour has been misleading people, when Polanski claimed in his recent party broadcast that Labour has received money from oil companies - a blatantly false statement

Racist dickheads alive and well and shouting at shop assistants in Edinburgh Sainsbury's. The CCTV will have recorded them, so I guess the store could report them easily enough. The shop assistant who was targeted just shrugged and said it happens all the time.

The sense of entitlement the drivers in North Berwick have is quite incredible. They seem to think the roads belong to them and nobody else and don't get that causing thousands of pounds worth of damage means less money for vital council services. www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/2588592...

And now the full 1939 clip. It's startling seeing the contrast. My grandfather was posted not far from here at one point, so maybe he strolled through when it looked like this. Weird to think about. #Film #History #Edinburgh

Here is the full 1938 clip. What a gorgeous space it was. #Film #History #Edinburgh

Nandy said her Mum told her how depressing X has become. Nandy told her most people have come off it. "I am only on it to find out what you are doing". (You never answer your phone") Nandy did say this did make her think, why is government asking people to go there to find out what it is doing?

🚨BREAKING PMQs🚨 Starmer: "A death threat was shared by Reform's deputy council leader in Lancashire against the brilliant Member for Bolsover" "If he has any decency he will stand up, apologise, condemn the comments, and sack the individual in his party"

Sirât at The Cameo tonight. Sights and sounds to overwhelm. Some beautiful, some less so. Strange dreams on the horizon, I'd say. youtu.be/ww-IXHXvS70?...

A must read from Angeliki in @theguardian.com as we nearly head to the polls in Gorton and Denton 👇🏻 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I like when I see news media outlets shifting language from like, “Angela posted on Twitter,” to “Angela posted on social media.” I’m very aware of this point in particular within what I’m reading - and when politicians & leaders are still posting on Twitter, as well. Has anyone else noticed this?

Tango on a Monday? Don't mind if I do! Sorry the bandoneon player isn't in shot. Fabulosos Quilici Tessa in the Trav.

I’ve been to Gorton and Denton a couple of times, and the mood in Labour on Friday compared to a few weeks prior is remarkable. Labour thinks they have the most data, that green vote is coming over and that they’ll win. On anecdotal level, I also saw them flip some would be Greens while canvassing

What James for Edinburgh Central says. I'll never forgive the SNP for number 5 and the 20% real-terms cuts to college funding since 2021.

En ce moment à Nice, rassemblement de fascistes. J'ai passé la journée à prévenir mes ami.e.s racisé.e.s et LGBTQIA+ de ne pas sortir. Une amie a été menacée par 6 hommes. On se rend compte de la dinguerie ? ?? ?

SNP and Labour lists finalised this week; latter still to be published in full as far as I can see but top spots made it to media. For SNP most notable is Angus Robertson 4th in Edinburgh and Lothians East, below two former MPs not standing for constituencies. If he loses constituency, likely gone

Finally got round to starting to sort out Power of Attorney. The solicitor told us it takes 13 months to register it in Scotland compared to 4 weeks on average in England. 👀

A 129% in shoplifting in Edinburgh 😳

According to Private Eye, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was enthusiastically recommended to Tony Blair for Trade Commissioner by one Peter Mandelson. Prince Charles tried to veto the appointment but Blair overruled him.

"Emergency podcasts, sir. Thousands of 'em"

Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy

As per national guidance, the police won't be officially naming this Norfolk man in his sixties arrested over suspicion of misconduct in public office!

Tory anti-trade union laws are in the shredder, thanks to the Employment Rights Act. 🔥🌹 Now let's finish the job and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.

Today in "Labour is right wing" news, the majority of the Trade Union Act 2016 has been repealed by the Employment Rights Act 2025. Balloting for industrial action is simplified, picketing restrictions are removed, protections against dismissal are reinstated, political funds are unrestricted.

Post a banger that isn't in English. The Fabulosos Cadillacs' La Vida and a most excellent little tongue in cheek video clip. youtu.be/B7itCq0mkp4?...

Every so often I remember that Girls Aloud did a version of Can't Speak French in French and it makes me laugh every time.

A cheeky wee Monday night concert in the Traverse by Harben Kay Quartet. This was gorgeous. It's one of those ones that make your heartbeat slow and blood pressure drop. Should be on prescription. youtu.be/Ke2eAmNmu4Y?...

Whenever I read yet another story about the Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa it astonishes me that the fact that we now know the SNP rigged the procurement for political purposes and faked a launch for political purposes hasn't disqualified them from government for a generation. It's pure corruption.

Wow.

This is what hope looks like 💚 On Saturday, supporters from across the country came together for a day of action ahead of the march. From Weymouth to Inverness, we’re saying proudly: division has no place in our communities. #together #28March

🆕 We’re excited to announce the launch of a new government campaign urging parents and guardians to get their little ones vaccinated to protect against serious illnesses such as measles. 🔗 nhs.uk/childhoodvaccinations #StayStrongGetVaccinated

The Enlightenment immersive light show in the McEwan Hall is a pretty mad trip. Glad I didn't go for the bean bag option though. A crane would've been needed after half an hour.

John Smith Thorpe & his three sons - William, Thomas and John, with their oak tree guardian from a few years ago All died between 1865 & 1874, the boys likely of typhoid Buried at Nottingham General Cemetery

Catching up on #masterchef Love how Gary MacLean is always such a champion of FE colleges. Good man.

This weekend’s front page. These are the faces of the close to 200 women killed by men in Scotland over the last 16 years. Many were murdered in the one place they should feel completely safe - their own home. This week, we ask for your help in ending misogynistic violence.

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

This man’s love for his neighbours and his patriotism is the best of America. It’s what those of us on this side of the water have always loved and admired our cousins for The battle for colleagues here over the next few years is to make sure our constituents never have to suffer his level of pain

This from Stella Creasy is spot on.

Book your transport. Invite your friends. Show up. It’s time to show the far right who the real majority is. Join us on 28 March, Central London. #together #28march

Of all the times I've been to North Berwick, I've never seen the Law covered in snow. A cracking day for a walk and lunchtime mac & cheese to warm up.

This is the most devastating interview and she is an extraordinary MP

Pity the poor couples who thought a lovely romantic Valentine's weekend in Edinburgh would be a good idea...💕🏈😳

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Good idea from the #BBC to list all the names and their short bio.
