Greens won in Portobello and Craigmillar - the party’s first ever council by-election victory in Edinburgh - with a huge ground campaign, turning out their voters where both Labour and the SNP failed to.

Southside and Newington includes most of Edinburgh university, and also most of the main festival venues, so it’s been an odd month of campaigning during the festival. Greens came a close second across the ward in 2022, and will be disappointed if they don’t take it this time.

Portobello (where I live) and Craigmillar is a pairing of Edinburgh’s seaside suburban village - largely middle class - and one of the poorer city neighbourhoods. Under the proportional system, it elected one SNP, one Labour, one Green and one Tory last time, in 2022.

The @heraldscotland.bsky.social is letting McKenna justify joining a lynching on the grounds that, if you don’t shot the N word while you do it, it doesn’t count.

Seven parties kept their deposits in the Norfolk PCC by-election. Six got more than 10%. The age of multipolar politics is clearly upon us.

I had a lot of fun launching my children’s book “my dad brought beavers back” at a sell-out story time at @portybooks.bsky.social this morning. Get your copy from their website!

Count Binface has lots of perfectly sensible policies, but I’m horrified by his ignorance of frozen dairy product history. 99 ice creams are so called because they were invented at a shop at 99 Portobello High Street, in 1922. They won’t have cost 99p then - that was the equivalent of £50.04 today.

Britain’s biggest mountain range is on fire. The Rhine, Rhône and Danube are parched in terrifying droughts, and Britain’s new prime minister is promising to drill baby, drill.

These pogroms are call in Loyalist areas. Why won’t the media say so? open.substack.com/pub/abolishw...

Adam Ramsay @adamramsay.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

For anyone who knows Belfast, the most obvious fact about last night’s pogroms is that they were all in Loyalist areas. Yet the British media has largely failed to mention this. Why?: open.substack.com/pub/abolishw...

Makerfield is fast becoming about the Westminster system. But, what do the main candidates plan to do about it?

Adam Ramsay @adamramsay.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Greens used to be one part of the independent group in the local government association. They now have their own grouping for the first time, which will bring some resource with it, I understand.

Remarkably, the top reason SNP voters have for voting SNP, was that they want to rejoin the EU.

The same survey looked at this - there were relatively few Labour - Reform switchers.

Adam Ramsay @adamramsay.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

New research shows that more people abandoned Labour because they were too tough on immigration - and because of their support for Israel - than because they were too soft on immigration.

If I am counting right, there have been four polls for the Holyrood election out today, three of which make for great reading for the @scottishgreens.org and the fourth would still be a record result.

For Greens, the choice has always between being controversial, or being ignored. Electorally, the former is much better. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is having a great week.

4) British territories collectively register the world’s ninth biggest shipping fleet - primarily through the Isle of Man. Much of this is tankers. Here’s a large tanker registered in Mann for you.

3) Shell declares about 11% of its global revenue in the Bahamas, despite only employing 45 people there. While the Bahamas are independent, their top court of appeal is still the privy council, meaning profits there are ultimately protected by a British court. This is their Bahamas HQ:
