Much prefer to be not that good *at* a major tournament, as opposed to not being there at all.

Why oh why wait until the last few minutes before sending on subs? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Scotland have Brazil exactly where they want now. Give them a wee start. 😂

Though, this being Scotland, you never know.

Scotland doing a Scotland, again.

I thought kick off was later and I’m sad I somehow missed it but that’s a great result for Scotland.

Labour Minister Chris Ward says Andy Burnham can’t do much because there’s ’no money’. This nonsense is why Labour fails. The 50 richest families own as much wealth as 50% of population. Don’t let Labour tell you it’s not possible to transfer this obscene wealth into the hands of the many.

Proper who’s who of elite far-Right, professional climate denialists, pseudoscientists, reactionaries and cranks. SNP can’t be happy Kate Forbes there too. Plus the guy from More in Common!???? The message from ARC is not ‘we have more in common’.

24 June 2016. The day after when EU citizens across the UK were told to ‘go home’; when the then PM said he would not protect our rights. Stories largely forgotten. BLEA - Brexit Lived Experience Archive - which I am launching today, is here to preserve this history. #Brexit brexit.migravox.org

This is the frontcover of the very same edition of the Times... A-list "heatwave" fashion trends in larger type than "heatwave threatens to bring record-breaking highs of 40C"

Letter in today's Times by climate scientist Sir Brian Hoskins: "The discourse around net-zero is increasingly decoupled from…science and our changing weather. "Net-zero is not an arbitrary slogan, rather it is dictated by the laws of physics."

Y'days post: Why governments should not be in hock to the bond market mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2026/06/why-... Policy based on fears about the bond market, or worse still about what journalists are writing about that market, will be bad policy. This has become one of Andy Burnham's first tests.

This is indeed a key test. The proposals are morally indefensible, legally questionable, economically self-destructive, and politically delusional. No-one with "legitimate concerns" about migration will vote Labour for pledging to deport care workers. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

A welcome announcement that Education Scotland will have the funding to continue both the Building Racial Literacy Programme (BRL) and Anti-Racist Mentors Project. Feedback from participants has been exceedingly positive. www.gov.scot/news/over-20... More info: education.gov.scot/professional...

At HOPE not hate, it's our mission to expose and oppose the politics of hatred, and our exposé of the Reform UK candidate’s vile sexist views and 13,000 letters to voters from Carol Vorderman made the vital difference on the streets in the Makerfield by-election.

Happy "we're going to keep making exactly the same mistakes but with a slightly different face" day to the UK gvt again

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

Starmer fights back tears as he announces his resignation. I wonder if he fought back tears over any of his decisions, policies or priorities?

Look, I know it's easy to have a pop at Starmer, but that was an incredibly honourable resignation he was forced into kicking & screaming, & his words that everyone who disagreed with him was morally bankrupt & his appeasement of fascists & transphobes was for the good of the country was v. moving

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

It’s with disturbing frequency that our Days After Pedagogy lessons are relevant just now. Download our lesson frameworks on hate crime and/or terror attacks to support guided and empathetic classroom discussion. We must all be actively anti-racist. educatorsforpeace.co.uk/teaching-res...

Put the AI data centers on golf courses and country clubs and we’ll see how many actually get built.

Happy Father's Day 🖤

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

We still calling it riots?!

Thinking of the women of Iran, enduring so much www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

The police didn't see the need to tase this guy and repeatedly kick him in the head, and the media haven't seen the need to make this racially motivated axe and knife attack the top story on all channels with immediate calls for the government to do something about Islamophobia. How odd.

Personally, I cannot stand these ‘cars’. Nor can I understand any apparent justification for their use.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

These declarations are made out in the open, now with automatic translation. Western politicians and commentators who pretend not to notice these grotesque declarations by *the national security minister of a state which their countries arm and fund* are complicit in them.

Nick McKerrell EIS ULA Branch Secretary at Glasgow Caledonian University spoke with Go Radio yesterday. He called on students and staff at the university to support their lecturers as they take the necessary action to fight for the future of Glasgow Caledonian.

When you don’t know what maths is, you get this:

There is evidence this is an age-old custom that British politicians adopted from other cultures

New insights on the social media ban for under 16's and education💡📲 Prof @lundieeducation.bsky.social writes that a total ban can create barriers to educators being able to talk to young people about harms and the complex digital world they already inhabit. Read: www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/...

The world spends 55 TIMES MORE on weapons than on saving lives. This is not an accident. This is a choice made by governments. Children in war zones—facing displacement, malnutrition, and violence—should not be paying the consequences of wars they didn’t start.

Behind every hero, there’s a historian. Holding my UK and US author copies in my hands, yet I still can’t believe The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance will be out in the world soon!! Coming July 7th 🦌🏔️♥️

In 2004 a human rights barrister & part of the appeal defence for the "Fairford Five", made a defence similar to that of the Palestine Action activists who broke into RAF Brize Norton last year. His name? Keir Starmer - who now even labels people who support these conscientious acts as terrorists.

You’re not going to believe this, but the thieving prejudice machines are also sexist.
