Starmer's right-wing pish appeals to folk down south. But not many in Scotland or Wales, set to reject Labour for the first time in 100 yrs next May. In 2026 it’s possible all Celtic nations will support the break-up of the UK. Conceal that if you can. www.thenational.scot/politics/255...

#StormAmy seems to be in full swing here. Not gonna lie, I am really hoping my husband doesn't cycle home in this and grabs a taxi 😳

Storm Amy's kicking off. Charge your devices. Find the torches (I never recommend candles/naked flames). Secure your wheelie bins. I've just watched one fly down the street, bouncing off a number of parked cars. Yes it's now stashed and grounded near where it landed. Stay indoors and stay safe.

Soggy Princes Street today. The way the winds are now increasing, a brolly is probably not advisable, unless you want to fly like Mary Poppins... #Edinburgh #Edimbourg #photography #photographie #StreetPhotography

Well Amy is VERY windy. I've already been out bin, flower pot and garden chair wrangling. I don't think ill get much sleep tonight😫😫

The wind's got so strong here it's reversing the kitchen fan 🤣

I ❤️ Meg & Mog!

Did you know, after the war of 1812–Canadians burnt down the White House, in 1816 the US decided to build a Fort to stop another invasion of the British in Canada, without realizing that they built it on Canadian soil 🤣 🤭🤪 earning the nickname Fort Blunder www.amusingplanet.com/2018/04/fort...

Since I was in the cinema, the wind has really started to pick up. Had to hold onto poor Mr Hat on the way home, quite a lot of road work signs blown over already, and the main part of the storm isn't due to hit till tomorrow afternoon. Maybe this is a down payment... #Edinburgh #Edimbourg
