It seems, not ALL of the £millionaires will leave if their taxes increase:

Interesting times ahead for next May. Jeremy Corbyn says Your Party will stand at Holyrood and may back Yes vote www.heraldscotland.com/news/2562551...

Shabana Mahmood went on telly to explicitly say that Reform were right about everything. That's your modern Labour Party, cementing support for the far right with bullshit.

Moving to see Jim Kerr visit & talk about the importance of Govanhill Library on Glasgow's Southside in opening the world of books, knowledge & ideas to him as a youngster. Libraries have empowered working class people for generations: a lesson which shouldn't be forgotten today.

Ticket caps are already common in European competitions and the English Premiership. There's no reason for Scotland not to do it too. Football belongs to the fans.

And don't fob us off with the old "advising private healthcare providers" on gaining #NHS contracts. In our #NHS there should be NO HEALTHCARE CONTRSCTS.

Wes Streeting has been accused of taking a “chaotic and incoherent approach” to reforming the NHS which makes it unlikely the government will hit its own targets, according to a damning report by the Institute for Government (IfG) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How much more catastrophically bad "worst in recorded history" polls and nascent leadership challenges does it take before Labour realises that it cannot outflank Reform on the right?! If you want a genuine left wing alternative you need to join.greenparty.org.uk www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Another minister, who asked to be kept anonymous, told PoliticsHome it was 'pretty simple': "We either increase our birth rate, slash the state in half, or make the positive case for migration" Perhaps they could try saying this non-anonymously? Just a thought www.politicshome.com/news/article...

The general consensus among Scots is we don’t need,or want nuclear foisted on us by another country. The truth is, WM can get around our planning laws by creating emergency legislation. What,s the thing that can prevent that from happening? #Scottishindependence @thesnpmedia.bsky.social

NEW: Labour MPs are pushing back against the Home Office's robust 'Danish-style' asylum & immigration plans. One MP: “The policy of chasing Reform will not build confidence but fear". Another: “Weak governments don’t get to push through controversial policy.” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Mmm, the cynical side of me feels like this is a bit of Droit du seigneur just after Holyrood elections. Planning on some sedition charges? Supreme Court to sit in Glasgow next year www.heraldscotland.com/news/2562273...

It makes a complete mockery of the ‘oh the financial markets like us’ argument. A budget that will please no one and do yet more damage to the UK’s policy making credibility (the apparent fact that this is a u turn on response to political pressure is utterly damning).

"Nuremberg defendants were surprisingly normal, opportunists who, as he put it in a 1946 lecture, 'exist in every country of the world, who would willingly climb over the corpses of half of the … public if they could gain control of the other half.'” What's real & not in the new Nuremberg movie:

Google removed certain apps used to report sightings of ICE officials, and “then they immediately turned around and approved an app that helps the government unconstitutionally target an actual vulnerable group. That's inexcusable,"

The moral vacuum & cesspit that is Trump & Trumpism is being brutally exposed by the attention on Jeffrey Epstein & his serial sex abuse, sex trafficking & industrial scale abuse of minors.

A blatant Reform lie: "Nigel Farage never said he wanted to cut council tax": Danny Kruger, Reform MP, #bbcqt, 13 Nov 2025. "We fight for lower council tax": Nigel Farage, May 2025 local elections.

Keir Starmer pledges to 'reclaim our heritage' in bizarre SNP attack That heritage is one of dumping pollutants in Scotland. www.thenational.scot/news/2561787...

Starmer wants rid of SNPs grip of planning, so he can dot toxic nuclear sites, all over Scotland...to power England. That's a big Fk off, from me! #IndyNOW

This! Antis don’t give a ***** about little girls. Pro choice feminists care deeply about the conditions girls have to grow up in and their lives.

Dear friends. I’ve done something different launching Legenda by targeting independent bookshops. I didn’t drive all sales to Amazon. So I’m relying on those of you that are reading it to share reviews & spread the word. I want this book to be supported by readers, not algorithms.

Will Wes Streeting says that Consultants too are "threats to the future of the NHS"? I expect he thinks everyone is, except for his private healthcare donors. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Says the dude swimming in donations - or are they investments - from private healthcare interests. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

We absolutely need universal basic income as a secure floor below which no one can fall and everyone can build from. It should not be normalized for people to seek 2nd, 3rd, and 4th jobs in order to make enough money to survive or have a backup plan in case of unexpected job and income loss.

who was it that used to do the reviews of British festive sandwiches over on Twitter and are they over here because that was an incredible bit

No accident at all that the same names recur, over and over, for the last couple of decades and turn up in the Epstein emails
