Polish PM Tusk says the West must recognize that Ukraine's fate is also its own, warning the coming autumn and winter could be decisive for Ukraine's independence, Poland and the free world. Speaking at Westerplatte, he urged allies to help Ukraine hold out and reject concessions to aggression.

No idea this even existed until I saw it in a second-hand bookshop in Pitlochry. Two of my favourite authors. Ken MacLeod edited & introduced the collection #ScottishPoetry #IainMBanks #KenMacLeod

Do you think the new @scotrailtrains.bsky.social app was constructed by elves from shoe leather and glue? Or would that insult the cobbler's elves?

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

Those BBC salaries are obscene. BBC forgets that it is the public that literally pays for this. Worst of all, they still tend to pay women less than men and pay fewer women high salaries. Did they learn nothing from the case they lost?

Why no UK? And why is UK Government not joining Canada's defence and security network? We need to pick a side, rather than languishing in a no person's land deluding ourselves of our relevance/power/importance.

Time is an odd thing. It has a habit of being significant. 5 years ago today, Gino Mäder won his one and only Giro stage. Today, Afonso Eulálio wore Bahrain Victorious' first maglia rosa 🩷🖤

Gino Mäder wins 2021 Giro d'Italia stage 6. He died after crashing on a descent on stage 5 at Tour de Suisse in 2023.

Alfonso Eulalio is presented with the maglia rosa after finishing 2nd on stage 5 of the 2026 Giro d'Italia

Every time living standards fall, Nigel Farage blames migration. And every time, Keir Starmer nods along. People are struggling with the cost of living and blaming migration won’t fix that. Scotland deserves better - a fairer, wealthier, welcoming future with independence.
