So it turns out that when the boy was thrown to the crocodiles yesterday, both of the carers were on their phones. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that the suspect was a large man, both carriers were female. I would argue that if a large disabled man is dangerous enough to throw a child over a 4 foot safety barrier into a crocodile pool - and the boy was in fact bitten - then perhaps he should be attended by caregivers who are also large men. Or, you know, and I’m just spit balling here, he could be kept in a secure facility where he can’t get to vulnerable children. It’s a crazy idea, but I think it just might work.

@lnmackenzie1 @scottishprisons I find it quite hard to imagine what was going through Pollock’s mind when she wrote this. Our policy breaks the law. Okay, let’s just keep breaking the law while we wait for our political masters to tell us what to do…

I still can’t quite get my head around this. An executive agency of the Scottish government has just openly admitted it intends to continue breaking the law. At the very least, it is in contempt of court. What are the consequences for this?
Andrew Doyle@andrewdoyle_com

So the Scottish Prison Service admits it has been acting unlawfully. But says it will continue to break the law until it figures out how best to respond to the court’s ruling. Have I read this right?

When we won, the women in Polmont sent us emotional messages of thanks. Many were terrified & terrorised by these men. But go on, Dunc, tell us about all the work you are doing in prison and why it's so much better than ensuring these women's basic human rights are protected.

@ripx4nutmeg They need to investigate 90% of the population then. The problem with these ideologically captured organisations is that they never question their own beliefs, only other peoples.

Warwickshire Police are investigating a Reform councillor for 'hate speech' because he wrote in a leaked private email: "Pride has been hijacked by mentally ill men in dresses gyrating in front of children and pushing a delusion that you can change sex" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Aberdeen South WTAF!? You’ve went from the brilliant Stephen Flynn - arguably 1 of the SNP’s strongest politicians - who stood up in Westminster every week for the whole of Scotland, to some Tory prick who will just be in it for himself. The mind boggles! #ByElection #SNP

@CallieMac009 @Mark1957 @scotgov @scottishprisons Of course there were but that has never stopped the Scottish Government ignoring the legal advice it’s been given if that advice runs contrary to their policy? Not only are they guilty of an egregious waste of taxpayers money, they knowingly try to flout the law. Disgraceful

I’m told @scotgov employ over 200 solicitors. Surely there’s some amongst them who understood the @scottishprisons policy of housing violent men with vulnerable women was unlawful? Time to reform our parliament; weed out the weak & the incompetent including politicians.

Natural England - a government organisation, wants to cull thousands of Dartmoor ponies in the name of ‘biodiversity’. We cannot let this happen. Keir Starmer could stop this senseless slaughter - but right now is choosing not to. The Labour government must not let an unaccountable quango kill off Dartmoor’s beloved ponies. Sign our petition to demand Keir Starmer overrules Natural England, and stops this ridiculous nonsense immediately 👉 savetheponies.com

Tech giants thought they could dictate the rules in Britain. They were wrong. Keir Starmer has done what no previous leader dared. enforcing a total under-16 social media ban and putting British families first ahead of Silicon Valley billionaires. This isn’t just regulation. It’s a clear statement of intent. Backed by 9 in 10 British parents, this independent leadership that listens to real people not corporate lobbyists. This is the leadership Britain deserves.🇬🇧

Dartmoor's hill ponies have grazed those commons for longer than there has been a country called England. Fewer than a thousand are left, down from six thousand a generation ago. The United Nations listed them as endangered in 2023. So, naturally, the body charged with protecting nature has decided to get rid of nine in ten of the survivors. There is a process, obviously. Natural England's new grazing contracts now count the ponies in the same bucket as the cattle and sheep. A commoner with a fixed quota has a choice: keep a semi-wild pony worth nothing at market, or use the slot for a lamb he can sell. Guess which one survives the spreadsheet. The rest are gathered in the autumn drifts, and with nowhere to put thousands of unhandled moorland ponies, the next stop is the abattoir. Natural England would like it noted that it has not ordered a cull. It has merely built a machine whose only output is a cull, switched it on, and handed the bolt gun to a farmer so the fingerprints land elsewhere. Very tidy. And now the funny part. The pony is the best tool on the entire moor for eating Molinia, the coarse purple grass strangling Dartmoor into a brown monoculture. Cattle and sheep won't touch it. The ponies hoover it down and clear the ground for the orchids, the wildflowers and the insects behind them. Remove the ponies and the moor chokes into precisely the lifeless scrubland the contract was meant to prevent. So the conservation strategy, in full: protect the habitat by deleting the animal that maintains the habitat. A masterclass. Better still, Natural England's own Fursdon review looked at this exact question and told them, in plain English, not to lump ponies in with cattle and not to cut pony numbers. They read it, praised it, said they fully supported it, then did the precise opposite. Four thousand years these animals have run Dartmoor with no committee and no contract. They could be gone within one, and the people who did it will write it up as a win for nature.

@ScotTories @ForWomenScot @MeghanSCUP He’s not allowed to take a domestic approach. It’s out with his competency. I am sick to death of the SG trying to control the narrative at any cost on this. They are meant to be setting a fucking example. If they cannot obey the law, then it’s time that they were made to.

The Supreme Court was clear. Women and girls are entitled to single-sex spaces. Now John Swinney is talking about taking a 'domestic approach' – whatever that means 🤷‍♀️ @MeghanSCUP has written to the First Minister to ensure women and girls' rights will be protected.

@Mark1957 @heraldscotland Makes no odds to him. He can bugger off back to India whenever and never even have to think about the consequences or the mess he leaves behind. Somebody should remind him that the law applies to everyone and the law is clear. Biological men can’t use women’s spaces in the UK.

Stephen Gethins is (probably) the first MSP ever to have to correct the Official Report of a maiden speech. But this letter is not an honest account. Gethins did not “misspeak”. The published text of his speech initially included the false statistic (it was subsequently edited).

1/ Stephen Gethins cites a false energy statistic in his maiden speech. The data on Scotland’s net electricity exports does not measure renewable electricity *alone*. It includes electricity from all sources of generation in Scotland.

Fed up of illegal e-bikes speeding along pavements in West Lothian? You're not alone. Residents across the Livingston constituency regularly raise concerns about dangerous riding, particularly in pedestrian areas where people should feel safe walking.
