Well done to #friendsofprestontower for another fantastic open day; finally I managed to join a tour! What amazing work the volunteers were doing! Loved Janis & Emma’s info on Tower, Anne & Tom’s in Doocot and catching up with Moira, David, Rod & Heather! Why not volunteer?

🔴 NEW: Loch Long on the Clyde has been contaminated by radioactive waste from the UK’s nuclear bomb store where old water pipes have repeatedly burst and caused floods, files released after a six-year secrecy battle reveal. Our investigation: bit.ly/3Jo0pLT

The U.K. should follow the example of France tonight and recognise the State of Palestine. This is essential for peace. The ceasefire and humanitarian aid must start now.

I welcome the announcement by President Macron that 🇫🇷 will recognise 🇵🇸 in September. This is an important contribution towards implementing the two State solution, which offers the only lasting basis for peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

It's finally here! It's Daniel Hannan Day! The future he promised everyone a mere 2 days before the Brexit referendum is so exciting, I think my heart may burst with joy when I step outside and experience it for myself. (Read it. You deserve a laugh. Link in next post.)

Delighted to have played a small part in the third of this series marking 50th, 100th and 150th of @thecockburn Association, the oldest conservation body in the country. It's a wonderful tale of civic activism and making 'good trouble'! Looking forward to book launch later today

This is the video I posted last night - looking at claims from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the BBC's coverage of events in Gaza on Sunday.

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a series of claims about the BBC's coverage of events in Gaza on Sunday. We've looked at the claims - and the number of misrepresentations and untruths that they contained.

Scottish universities say high salaries are necessary to stay globally competitive. But as students struggle and job losses grow, some are asking: who is higher education really working for? bit.ly/4jkIvHc

Imagine telling Denmark they don't do enough for people in Greenland, when both countries have universal healthcare and your country doesn't. 🙄

Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity must be defended. If President Trump won’t stand with us on this, a U.K. state visit shouldn’t be on the table.

I’m loving the new expert consensus: Zelensky’s mistake wasn’t, you know, defending his country against an invasion—it was failing to properly stroke Trump’s ego. Because the whole ballgame isn’t waging war or diplomacy, it’s mastering the fine art of babysitting a narcissist

Starmer had better get back up off his knees and revoke that offer of a state visit.

Lovely to see the tartan we commissioned as a living memorial to be shared so widely. Please follow @witchesofscotl1 for details of the campaign, our podcast, the thinking behind the tartan and how you can get a hold of some very soon. 🖤

Ukraine’s right to independence and territorial integrity must be absolute. Any peace deal must recognise this. The international community should not concede to aggression and we must not allow Putin’s violence to be rewarded.

The government says it will close a loophole that allowed a family from Gaza to claim residence in Britain under a plan intended for Ukrainian refugees. An immigration judge had ruled that the human rights of the family of six Palestinians outweighed restrictions in the law.

I'm appalled that the B-listed Africa House in Ardeer, one of the last surviving buildings of Glasgow's 1938 Empire Exhibition, has just been illegally demolished. No listed building consent. The owner has likely committed a criminal offence. They should be forced to rebuild it.
