The best of luck Calum with the hustings. It would be great to see you back and representing us again, albeit from Holyrood. We also greatly appreciate your support to keep Channelkirk and six other nurseries open. Ideally we could help reopen some of the other 35 across Scotland closed illegally.

The definition of a fight in which it is a shame there has to be a winner.

Thanks. It will still be a very consequential election and subsequent weeks.

The 2028 election is what worries me even more than the next 4 years. If Trump, or a Trump surrogate runs on his behalf and loses, Trump will obviously say he won. And then what does Vance do on 6 Jan 2029? Even ahead of that, will MAGA stack the election and election officials?

Agreed. But Trump’s going to screw them

You must never forget it’s all about him and there are enough people in the US willing to bow down to him.

Last summer, I thought he’d run in 2029 on a platform to rejoin CU and SM. But he doesn’t have the luxury of waiting until ‘29, he’ll have to do it by ‘27 or he’ll be a one term PM.

Just had to clear out a lot of unsolicited right wing feeds on my X account. New week seems to equal new fake, false and misleading posts on feed. Breathed a sigh of relief when opened up Bluesky afterwards.

I know that several BBC journalists are now on Bluesky but not the official BBC. Does anyone know who, or why, management are stopping the move?

It’s likely to come down to a deal with Trump/US or getting much closer to the EU or rejoining CU and SM. The deal that the US is likely to offer especially on food and other sectors plus pulling further away from EU, will not go down well with voters. Another big showdown in 2026/27 methinks.

It’s always tough when a new tax is applied. However, what I don’t get is this narrative about the loss of food security - if farms are sold or part of them sold off, the land will still be farmed, its not going to be left abandoned. Two friends have sold farms and they are still being farmed.

Spent first 20 years of my life living just off Holmsdale Road. Went to first game at 5 y/old and waiting outside the gates to open at 4:20pm when 7 y/old along with a load of other kids. Bonded for life.

And the crazy thing is, he’s not even the weirdest of Trump’s picks.

Still no official BBC yet though. A couple of exceptions (Newsnight and Steve Rosenberg) but that’s all so far.

Are there any GOP senators and congressmen who are not MAGA’s and who might want to do the ‘right thing’ - in the same way as John McCain and Liz Cheney did?

So the gov’t might be faced, in say 2 years, with the option to sign a trade deal with US with all the impacts to UK agriculture + pulling us away from Europe, OR accept 20% tariffs and impact that carries OR join CU and SM and accept the tariffs along with the other 27 plus Norway and Switzerland.

The only thing two thirds of Brits want is to rejoin the EU.

Apart from Steve Rosenberg, I can’t find anyone from BBC, only Paul Brand from ITV and Sky Sports. Lots of good people to follow though. I guess some X movers have moved to threads. There is a need to coalesce onto one alternative platform - and this looks like the best one.

It now looks very much like mass migration is underway …………… from Twitter (I refuse to call it X) to Bluesky
