You just can’t celebrate Ed Balls day like you used to.
My cats do this.
I agree with them. I imagine most people in Scotland do.

I've just read a response from a '#SEND' teacher claiming that their job is to teach Autistic children to "function" No, that is not your job Ever Education needs a seriously reckoning. Teachers need support to be informed & reflective And the normative bollocks needs binned
It’s satire but also something I actually do.
Great column “right-wing is a thoroughly (& probably wilfully) inaccurate description” of the Scottish Greens critics. Correct. Many of us are lefty feminists who can’t stand their misogyny & want climate action not virtue signalling. heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
Alex Salmond’s argument that Ash Regan is the most powerful MSP in the country might have more weight if he moved aside and let her do just a single one of the broadcast interviews. Very odd look.
*swoons*
Misuse of public funds like this should be a criminal offence.

Did my Scottish pals know that vaping is allowed indoors in 🏴 and it’s upto the establishments to ban? How have we gone backwards when 2nd hand vape smoke is as bad or worse?! Who do we lobby for this?? @scotgov
This is a damning piece. A complete waste of public money and proof that pushing ahead with plans to decarbonise older buildings are nowhere near cost effective for home owners. The Greens were an absolute menace who should never be near a decision again.

I have just written to the First Minister, declining his offer of talks. Minority government works on trust, he has none. His priorities are not the people’s priorities and he is clearly only motivated now by political survival. He should resign and call an election. 👇🏻
It would be a very unpopular move amongst Labour members- and I’m pretty sure Tory members would feel the same- if the “simple crofter” got a place in the Lords after all he has done to try & destroy the U.K.
Happy Ed Balls day to all who celebrate 🥳 #EdBallsDay2024
This is the last Ed Balls Day of this Tory government.

234 Followers 365 Following Due to Musk's changes to Twitter, I am using my 'Barbie Ken' photo and truncated my surname. I am really real 😊SNP Elder Statesmen @AngusRobertson and @JohnSwinney have (wisely) said nothing recently.
meanwhile, on a planet far far away…
A Holyrood election to be held on 18th September 2024 would ensure a summer reigniting the YES movement hopefully culminating in a memorandum of understanding between all independence supporting parties in voting strategy to get a mega majority in Holyrood
It’s become so commercialised.
Dining room and drinks room are almost finished. Electrician is hanging the chandeliers on Tuesday and the curtain maker is back on Wednesday. Few more pictures to hang etc but getting very close. Awful windows will be replaced but they are wind and water tight and I need lots 🫣
I don’t usually make predictions but…. I don’t think Humza Yousaf will make it to the vote of no confidence on Wednesday. He will resign before that as he cannot accept support from Alba and the Greens have made clear they won’t back him. It’s over.
That’s quite a read. 😳 “The first step, “is getting rid of Lorna and Patrick and making sure Ross has no power”. they’d like Greer “expelled”, and every MSP deselected. Harvie was described as a “bad faith actor”, and Slater “out of her depth”.” heraldscotland.com/news/24283157.…
Oh to have the self belief of someone like Jenny Gilruth. No obvious leadership qualities, no policy achievements, struggles in the chamber, yet she believes she can lead the country (and her party) through one of the most difficult periods since Holyrood was established.
NEW: One of Humza Yousaf’s most senior ministers could be lined up to replace him as he fights for his political career this week. Factions have begun to form, with phones buzzing as different factions take the temperature after a frenzied weekend thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/sc…
Crikey. This is quite a read. And a long one! The fallout from last week in the Greens might not be front and centre right now but things are clearly not okay behind the scenes,even if the allegations of the rebels aren’t accurate. heraldscotland.com/news/24283157.…
@LauraFMcConnell Disgraceful behaviour from him if it’s true. So much for political beliefs . Replace crofter with grifter
I've just read a response from a '#SEND' teacher claiming that their job is to teach Autistic children to "function" No, that is not your job Ever Education needs a seriously reckoning. Teachers need support to be informed & reflective And the normative bollocks needs binned
@JaneyGodley I know I’m Irish and it’s hard to stomach. I always think of Imelda May’s poem: “You dont get to be racist and Irish/You dont get to be proud of your heritage, plights and fights for freedom while kneeling on the neck of another!”
@Ria1984 SLANT isn't adapted or individualized. It sends a message that there is only one right way to appear when engaging in the task of processing auditory information.
@Ria1984 That's a list of abstract concepts that reinforce neurotypical norms as the only acceptable way of being. 'Manners' are just a set of pointless, arbitrary rituals that set the comfort of one group over others.
When Humza vacates Bute House, who gets custody of the scooter?
Can people stop saying “MONC” in relation to the Scottish Gov’s predicament. It’s VONC, always has been, always will be.
No candidates isn’t a risk, it means the party gets to pick folk who are more loyal to leadership (with a few concessions to key stakeholders). Given some of the howlers that have been voted up by members in years gone by, it could be a huge positive.
An early 🏴 election poses risks for all the parties: 🔴Labour: likely to win, but no devolved policies or candidates 🟡SNP: losing seats and power 🔵Tories: losing seats but more influence 🟢Greens: possibly more seats but pro-UK majority 🟠LD: modest gains but no power
My mother used up all her hatred in 1946 when, aged 18, she discovered what had been done to her family, and went to work as a house mother for the children Dr Schonfeld brought here from the camps.
Who does your mum or dad hate? I had a friend whose dad despised Nicholas Lyndhurst
@MrBenParnell I would add: - bike rides - fajitas (effort) - camping - nightclubs - group work
My mother’s comments on The Daily Tism so far: ‘It’s very niche.’ ‘Have you tried ringing Women’s Hour?’ ‘You have to disregard what people think of you, like when I first started doing aerobics.’
What’s happening in Gaza is horrific. Fact. Israel isn’t going anywhere. Fact. Our belief in a country that is the only Jewish state, our homeland from before the bible says so, does not make us evil. It gives us security over a world that has shown it can turn a blind eye.
