Asked if there were "things left unsaid" between her and Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon said on STV's The Assembly: “The thing I wished… is that he would say to me, ‘Yeah, it wasn’t your fault what happened.’ Even if he wasn’t going to admit that it was his fault, he would say, ‘Look, I know it wasn’t you that did this to me, and I’m sorry for suggesting it was.’
"I would have loved at some point for him to say that. But I knew he wasn’t the type of person who would ever do that.” 👇

@FondOfBeetles These guys are basically a religious order/cult. I feel sorry for those of us with DSDs and the parents of kids w DSDs that fall into the trap of believing all their nonsense. They’re basically a TRA org masquerading as intersex help. Just dreadful and harmful nonsense.

@FondOfBeetles If you have a penis or period, it's clear. No test will surprise you.
It can only be revealing for those who never had either one.
A person w a dysfunctional reproductive system can confirm which system is out of order- male w/o penis or female w/o menses.

@KatHighsmith Yep. They don’t have much else.
Meanwhile, even in the tiny fraction who aren’t male/XY or female/XX, they *still* don’t cart around opposite sex chromosomes…
Of that tiny fraction, almost every male is XXY or XXY, and almost every female is XXX.

Is the state pension really so 'meagre'? Let's take a look...
The basic state pension is just £12,547 a year. But...
Only around 15% of pensioners rely on the state pension alone. The vast majority have other income from private pensions etc., which is exactly how our system is designed to work (and why the UK has generous tax breaks for pension contributions).
The small proportion of pensioners whose only source of income is the state pension are entitled to other benefits in addition, including pension credit, housing benefit and council tax support.
A pensioner with no other income, no savings, no disabilities, no care responsibilities and rent of £800 per month is entitled to £401.55 a week in benefits including state pension, which is £20,881 a year.
For comparison, a full time minimum wage worker has an after tax income of £21,364. Unlike a pensioner, a full time minimum wage worker is not entitled to free travel, free prescriptions, a winter fuel payment or senior citizens discounts.
£21,000 a year is not a lot of money. But the very poorest pensioners have similar incomes to low-wage workers. Given the greater costs faced by those who are working, it's perhaps not surprising that working age adults are now more likely to live in poverty than pensioners.
And at the other end of the scale, one in four pensioners are millionaires and still receive the basic state pension, paid for by current tax payers (including those on minimum wage).
No one (definitely not me) is suggesting that the state pension should be reduced for the poorest pensioners. But pension spending now accounts for half of the UK's social security budget and, given the urgent need to cut government spending, we must consider reforms like means-testing and scrapping the triple lock.
Miriam Cates@miriam_cates
“Reform’s commitment to keep the triple lock is the final nail in the coffin for the hope of pension reform from the Right. Britain’s young people are now condemned to pay through the nose for the retirement of the wealthiest generation in history.” ✍️👇 conservativehome.com/2026/04/08/mir…

MORE: Ukrainian forces’ increasing strikes against Russian air defense systems and drone interception rates have facilitated recent Ukrainian battlefield successes. ⬇️
Ukrainian forces in Winter 2025-2026 and Spring 2026 have made their most significant gains on the battlefield since Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk Oblast in August 2024 and have liberated the most territory in Ukraine itself since the 2023 counteroffensive.
Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) Commander Major Robert “Magyar” Brovdi reported on April 9 that USF forces have destroyed nine Russian air defense systems in occupied Ukraine since April 1. Ukrainian USF forces have increasingly intercepted Russian drones since late February and March 2026, intercepting a total of 2,975 in January, 3,679 in February, and 7,674 in March 2026.
Interceptor drones have important tactical battlefield implications as Russian forces rely on drones to disrupt Ukrainian defenses, which, in turn, enables Russian advances and prevents Ukrainian advances. Ukraine’s increasing interceptions of Russian drones are therefore contributing to slowing Russian advances and permitting Ukrainian counterattacks.
Ukraine’s defensive successes, drone adaptations, and mid-range strike campaign are creating compounding effects that are degrading Russian frontline forces.

1/ NEW: Russian and Ukrainian reporting appears to confirm battlefield reporting that Ukrainian forces have achieved a drone advantage over Russian forces on the battlefield. Ukraine’s drone advantage is likely contributing to the stalling of Russian advances and recent Ukrainian counterattacks. Other Key Takeaways: Ukrainian forces’ increasing strikes against Russian air defense systems and drone interception rates have facilitated recent Ukrainian battlefield successes. Unverified reporting suggests that the Kremlin privately acknowledges Ukraine’s upper hand in drone operations on the battlefield and defense industrial base (DIB) production. The Kremlin is deploying Russian military vessels to escort Russian sanctions-evading tankers through the English Channel. Russian forces continue to conduct covert submarine operations near British undersea fiber-optic cables and pipelines in the North Atlantic Ocean. Ukrainian forces used drones to destroy a Russian-controlled bridge in occupied Kherson Oblast, possibly for the first time in combat history. Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Kupyansk direction. Russian forces launched 119 drones against Ukraine.

Circulation numbers will be the main factor here, but don't you find it interesting how she claims to be hard done by because they're a pro-indy paper yet then goes on to list the other issues that she *actually* focuses on publishing on a daily basis instead? Revealing.

MORE: Ukrainian technological adaptations and drone innovations continue to grant Ukraine tactical and operational leverage as Russian forces suffer from high casualties. ⬇️
Ukraine’s defensive successes, drone adaptations, and mid-range strike campaign are evidently creating compounding effects that are degrading both Russian frontline forces and Russia’s long-range strike campaign.
Recent Ukrainian advances in southern Ukraine since late January 2026 have also created cascading operational effects on the frontline that have forced Russian forces to choose between defending against Ukrainian counterattacks or allocating manpower and resources to other sectors of the frontline.
Ukraine’s recent successes are accomplishing tactical, operational, and strategic battlespace effects that undermine the Russian narrative that the Ukrainian frontlines are on the verge of collapse.
Institute for the Study of War@TheStudyofWar
NEW: Russia maintains expansive territorial goals in Ukraine beyond demands for Ukraine’s withdrawal from Donetsk Oblast. Other Key Takeaways: Ukrainian technological adaptations and drone innovations continue to grant Ukraine tactical and operational leverage as Russian forces suffer from high casualties. The Kremlin continues to engage in a coordinated information effort designed to elevate nuclear escalation rhetoric, likely in an attempt to drive a wedge between the United States and the European Union. The Kremlin may be leveraging its “Time of Heroes” program to replace the Belgorod Oblast governor with a veteran of the war in Ukraine as part of a wider effort to staff government positions with a cadre of loyal veterans. Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Pokrovsk direction. Russian forces launched 176 drones against Ukraine.
