So, the Nobel Peace Prize of 2026 has been awarded to a woman of colour, from South Africa, who was on the ICC committee that declared Israel guilty of genocide. I don’t think even Trump is stupid enough to miss the message in this. Congratulations Navi Pillay. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Some 287 candidates have been nominated for the prestigious prize, which was won last year by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.

They’re making it entertainment! Barbarism, Iran & Iraq used to be derided for their public executions. Where are the grown ups in the room?

I wouldn’t go that far but definitely best of the poorest series to date. Having Matt & Richard on together isn’t working for me. Poor production decision IMHO. You’d think they would interview potential contestants to find out their attitude to the show? Chloe, Issy & Nina are carrying the guys.

Another patriotic gesture! His property portfolio makes money for him in the UK, we tax them. But doubtless they’ll be tied up in convoluted multi-company ownership conundrums in overseas trusts. GovUK needs to grow pair to end these loopholes.

I used to fly down to Humberside on the morning AirUK ABZ-EDI-HUY flight in the 90s. Ian Wood occasionally boarded in Aberdeen and was the only passenger to disembark at Edinburgh. I assume he would do the return journey in the evening. An hour shorter drive than LHR-MAN journey.

Oi!!! It was nice(ish) when I left! 😂 Grangemouth Town Council built the stadium and sports centre before Regionalisation and GM fell under Falkirk DC control. My Mum said that “Grangemouth will get nothing after Falkirk get their hands on the BP’s rates £” My Mum was right.

I’ve been banging the “water is the new oil” drum for some time. Now data centres are “the next big thing”. So here’s a profitable load to dump on the Jocks to use up their water! Watch this space data centres will become “national infrastructure” and forced in over Holyrood’s head

Dear Britain, In his 13 year MLB Jake Bauers lowest contract was $240Kpa. His last 3 contracts have been 7 figure deals. If HE thinks he can’t walk away from his job’s healthcare cover, what does that tell you about the US Health system? Reform want to emulate that system here - who benefits?

Give £ to those who spend their £ locally to boost their local economy! Can workers ramp up their rates when the opportunity presents itself? No!Where are “dynamic” pay rates to counter dynamic pricing? The system is badly rigged because £ rules our politics! www.commonweal.scot/articles/mag...

The war in Gaza didn't start on October 7, 2023. It started in 1948 when Israel ethnic cleansed 750,000 Palestinians out of Palestine.

WW2 Polish pilots were trained in Grangemouth, my home town. My mum could remember them flying out of the “areodrome” A memorial was erected to the c70 pilots killed during training exercises out of Grangemout. Some of those pilots are buried in Grand Sables Cemetery to the south of the town. 🙏

How would the Edinburgh property owners (who charged c£500+/nt for rooms on Murrayfield concert nights) would react if their cleaners said they would only turn up for 2x or 3x rates for these events? Snyone think the owners would have increased pay to their cleaners on those nights? One way benefit!

Three years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific terror attack in Israel. We remember all those killed and taken hostage, and the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in Gaza since.
