As everyone knows, the longest river in North America is the Mississippi. From its source just south of Lake Itasca in Minnesota, it runs south for 2,350 mi (3,780 km) into the Gulf of Mexico/America. However, the Mississippi technically isn't actually the longest at all. 1/n

The folic acid petition has hit 20,000 but we need five times as many for a parliamentary debate. Please encourage friends and family to sign. Who could be against a debate on this subject? N.B. There has not been a debate in parliament yet. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7695…

Yes, Minister was all the political education we needed. If we were paying attention to the script, of course.

This American learning a new Scottish phrase is quite brilliant, even though she doesn’t quite get it right because it’s entirely possible for someone to be a ‘specky cunt’ and them not actually wear glasses.

say what you like about Peter Murrell using the SNP’s funds to spend £85 on gourmet beans, at least he didn’t waste the money trying to make an economic case for independence

A tenant farmer in the Cairngorms says land that sold for £500 an acre a few years ago now goes for £5,000. He is being moved off ground his family has worked for generations, because he cannot outbid the people buying it. The buyers are corporations, and they have no intention of farming a single acre of it. Here is how the trick works. A company keeps emitting carbon exactly as before. Same factories, same flights, same supply chain, same product. Then it buys a Scottish hillside, plants some trees, and announces to the world that it is now carbon neutral, or, if it is feeling brave, carbon negative. The emissions never fell. It simply bought a landscape to point at. Take BrewDog. In 2020 it bought a 9,300-acre Highland estate, propped up with public grant money, and promised a million trees and the crown of the world's first carbon negative beer business, removing twice the carbon it emitted, forever. By 2023 roughly half of the 500,000 trees it had managed to plant were dead, killed by drought, with critics noting the planting was drying out the peat and releasing carbon of its own. The advertising regulator ruled its carbon-negative claims misleading. In 2024 it quietly dropped the badge and dismissed the entire carbon credit market as a flood of cheap schemes whose benefit was "questionable, maybe even non-existent." Then it sold the estate to a firm whose actual business is selling carbon offsets. That is the whole model in one story. Public money in. Dead trees out. A green halo worn for four years and then dropped. The farmer who used to be on that land, gone. The hillside passed to a company that exists purely to sell other people the right to keep polluting. This is no fringe case. In one recent year, half of every estate sold in Scotland went to investment funds, corporations and charitable trusts rather than anyone who would farm it. A third of the deals for plantable land are now done off-market, in secret, precisely so the local community never gets the chance to bid. So this is what net zero looks like on the ground. A man who produced food is priced out of his own glen. A corporation that produced emissions buys the glen, calls itself a force for good, and sells the carbon. The land stops feeding anyone. Nobody's emissions actually went down by a gram. The food was real. The farmer was real. The carbon saving is a line in a slide deck. And we have somehow decided the villain in all this is the man with the sheep.

🤦‍♀️ Nicola Sturgeon is setting up a strawman in her interview with @bbclaurak. Nobody was complaining of embezzlement in 2021. What we were worried about was financial mismanagement & lack of transparency. She demonised us for those concerns & should take responsibility for that.

There's simply no way back from this. All the attempted defences by NS supporters evaporate like mist on a summer's day within the first minute of this.

The longest line of sight in the U.K. has been seen only a few times, and photographed once. In 2015, Kris Williams was atop Snowdon in perfect conditions and managed to snap The Merrick in Southern Scotland. A remarkable distance of 232km (144 miles).

Not a single person in this picture is there to improve our lives, our health,the economy or our prosperity - every single one of them is a nationalist activist or grifter, totally unqualified for the job in hand.
