The European Movement in Scotland welcomes Andy Burnham's commitment to ever-closer EU ties. Britain urgently needs a very big economic boost. Let's join the Single Market now! 450 million people, 30 million businesses, €17 trillion market. #Rejoin #Burnham #EU #UK #Scotland

Not sure how the triple lock change will ultimately play politically. But trapping the Tories and Reform into defending a policy literally none of them support in private is potentially a neat move.

The story of the Texas Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys elator) is, in its own way, the story of Texas. They're native to a tiny area of North Texas where American buffalo once roamed in vast numbers, clearing prairie, making nighttime foraging & escape easier for our k-rat. (📷: Texas Parks & Wildlife)

Conservation efforts also include zoo breed & release programs, with 4 captive-bred animals so far at the Fort Worth Zoo since 2021. So there's hope they could hop under starry Texas skies again! This momma k-rat shows how to fit a big baby into a tiny den entrance 😬. (📷: Fort Worth Zoo)

First EU reactions to Burnham suggestion that UK might rejoin EU: French President Macron: “Welcome back” Spanish PM Sanchez: Brexit was a “huge loss” for both the UK and the EU, and if Britain takes a decision to rejoin, Spain will “open its arms” again to the British people.

Also, as I bet many haven't heard the speech, care costs are something a lot of us know about, and are worried about. It's basically "there is a chance all your savings evaporate to pay for care, unless you are mega-wealthy". So addressing that is popular in the real world.

I’ve said more times than I remember that Labour must provide leadership on showing the nation that Brexit has failed. Burnham has started doing this. He must continue until Brexit is where is belongs: in the dustbin of history.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

90 years ago today, 30,000 people gathered on Holbeck Moor in Leeds to stop British fascist leader Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirts holding a rally. My grandad was there to help stop the fascists. I was so proud to speak at the unveiling of the plaque commemorating that historic day.
A plaque explaining: 

The Battle of Holbeck Moor

On 27 September 1936, 30,000 people assembled to prevent the leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley, and his Blackshirts, from holding a rally.'They shall not pass.'
