Andy Burnham now saying he "implied no such thing" that Russia swung the Brexit referendum. He only said "It is a matter of record that Russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 general election. And we think it is inconceivable that this was the first time". So that's clear.

The Spectator has deleted all the articles written by Lola Salem, Michael Gove’s ex-girlfriend. Michael Gove is the editor of The Spectator.

Fair question from MSM Monitor, who's been analysing BBC output in Scotland for years.

Having a moral conscience isn't a devolved matter?

I'm confused. Perhaps I just don't get this whole "international relations" thing: Russia is supplying arms to Iran, the USA attacks Iran whilst buying fuel from Russia, so Russia can supply arms to Iran?

Interesting headline from the BBC. Not quite the one I'd have chosen...

The current mascot still looks fresh and modern. Plus it's also highly recognisable. Why deliberately ditch all that historic brand identity for no good reason?

England (at least this bit in London) is attracted to a truly progressive party. Starmer's huge majority in 2024 is mostly wiped out by the Greens of E&W. If Polanski's party continues like this it could be a fascinating Westminster election when it comes. What will England give us then?

Two photos I took today in 65:25 aspect ratio after being inspired by the work of professional @alfie.photography An iconic Scottish building - the new Scottish Parliament. A triumph of innovative design, nailing the functional brief to be a modern, accessible, centre for progressive democracy.
Two photos in iconic 65x24 format of the new Scottish Parliament. This is the aspect ratio made famous by the Hasselblad XPan, and is what used to be called CinemaScope.

Farage's Reform selected this person as a candidate in the Scottish Parliamentary elections... she came last and still posts about those "leftists" who "walk amongst us".

Listening to Farage's Kerr in the EU debate in Parliament today, it's clear he has no interest in our Parliament or in working constructively on anything it does. Like all his right wing colleagues, he fails to understand the concept of representative democracy. His priority is purely to disrupt.

There's a reason the Tories are now fifth in popularity in Scotland, beaten by everyone except the Lib Dems.

It's illegal for supermarkets to promote these products in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland, because they're considered so unhealthy. That's quite a list!

How come protestors sit in jail for holding up signs, whilst members of the British government freely provide support for genocide in Gaza?

The Lib Dems are the smallest party in the Scottish Parliament - after the SNP, Labour, Farage's Reform, the Scottish Greens, and the Tories. So no, not "the most influential group in the Scottish Parliament", whatever they might tell their donors.

The BBC is part of the problem...

So let me get this right. The 🇬🇧 British Government has accepted that 🇮🇪 NI has a right to a referendum to decide its future; It accepts 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland's right to determine its own future, but won't say how; And it doesn't accept that 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales can decide its own future. Confused? It certainly is.

Some really interesting public sector reforms being proposed by the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 SNP Scottish Government. Bringing democracy closer to people, making it more inclusive. Whilst Labour moves in the opposite direction in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England. My summary and full details of the proposal 👇 www.gov.scot/publications...

Overcast and not too warm. Very still. Perfect walking weather on the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Southern Upland Way today. Met a large group of High School students doing a camping expedition along it 👍

So Marra, 🇬🇧 Labour's new team lead in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland, demonstrating strong hypocrisy from the start: he supports the union but doesn't want to be referred to as a Unionist, because "I come from a cultural tradition in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland to whom that is not an easy word". Why would that be 🤔

UKIP, Brexit Party, now Farage's Reform UK. The new leader in Wales is certainly a slave to the cult. How long before she is forced to resign? Described as "very reliable" by Farage at her award ceremony.

So not only is my local town full of "leftists", but Edinburgh as well! My local failed Farage candidate sees them everywhere 😲. Good.

Rather than going into Glasgow Cathedral a couple of weeks ago, I turned around and walked across the road to Glasgow's oldest remaining medieval house. Beautifully restored with a gorgeous wee garden. Loved it.

PISA results are hard to compare due to the self-selection involved in the process. In England, it's been acknowledged that schools are chosen to 'game' the results. But the BBC in Scotland isn't interested in accurate and balanced reporting, just anti-Government messages...

"The longer I stay, the less I want to leave. Long live the Highlands!" "I instantly loved Glasgow and its friendliness" There's been steady net migration from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for as long as the SNP has run our government. Comes to something when even the Telegraph has noticed. archive.ph/NWb2j
