@robinmonotti It's weird: I first started noticing these fake-looking flags behind Zelensky, then everybody got in on the act - all at once they all had them. Strange.

This is fake: flags on the left & right are folded exactly the same way. It's the same flag duplicated. Contrast between lectern & flags shows they are entirely separate elements, not in the same room. The left lapel on the jacket has disappeared again.

@somersetlevel Take yourself, and your posh wine, and fuck off!🤣

Dave’s upset 🤣

Tony Blair made the world more dangerous. He also created the architecture for fake "philanthropy" to dominate British politics, to undermine our industries and our energy security, through ersatz "civil society". We cannot afford any more Blairite poison as remedy.

@alexmassie We're no better - Borderlands Growth Deal is about to stuff £10.5 million into the pockets of an external contractor to produce a report - a report! into re-opening the Borders Railway to Carlisle. It'll never happen, £millions spent for zero tangible benefit.

The correct decision but, blimey, it really is impressive - but not surprising - that you can spend £179m on not building a tunnel. Classic Britain.

@katieheffe @sigourneybeaver Yes, looking at my last order I bought a Thinkpad T480 from them this time last year for £190 and it's been brilliant so far.

@rt_gale99 @sigourneybeaver I’m clueless but my husband rates the Lenovo Thinkpads from there for our daughters

Any recs for a laptop for The Boy for uni? Don't need anything fancy etc.

@Reformed_scot I agree, IndyCar is way better than F1 as far as racing goes these days. Same for F2 and F3 (for now at least, until they go the same way).

Woke F1 will never do this again , they will have to slow down and dawdle through Spa to recharge batteries. F1 killed racing . F1 electrocuted racing . IndyCar now the top racing

Is a "policy advisor to four prime ministers" the best person to ask about the "malaise and decline of the British state"?

@GitGrumpygit Blimey - die now before offer ends.

@MintSauceSarnie I won't notice because I'll be at work.

Will anyone notice councils take a day off?

@_Farmergeddon Same up here - they're going to stuff £10.5 million into the pockets of consultants for a feasibility study into extending the Borders Railway to Carlisle, which everyone knows will never happen. It's deliberate.

£179million on consultants without anything delivered

@clim8resistance Maybe we should have a modern day 'Saucepans for Spitfires' campaign, where we donate all the pots and pans that we wore out banging for the NHS a few years ago.

Government appoints new steel tsars to oversee Britain's new green steel renaissance.

@thesundaysport I have an overcoat that I only ever wear for funerals. I always hang it up again leaving the order of service cards in the pockets, and it's sobering to realise just how full they seem to be getting these days.

Off to a funeral later. Natural sadness, but also some joy that I can now get into my funeral pant. Just.

@fenlandflo They've just banned greyhound racing in Scotland (even though there is none!), I fully expect hound trailing to be next on the list. Who knows after that - dogs off leashes, then dogs altogether, I think. Sounds mad but it'll happen.

Watch out anglers. First they came for the hunting community, now they’re coming for the shooting community.

Saving a sector as it nears the point of actual collapse isn't supporting Britain's "workers". If you can only see the loss of jobs your agenda is causing at the extreme end of energy intensity, then you are functionally blind. You are not supporting steel or steel workers. You're just making steel more expensive. That's bad for everyone. You are a fucking idiot.

Mmmm - lovely 'responsibly sourced' salmon on sale in Tesco with an ulcer thrown in for free. Sent in by a concerned shopper @Tesco @tesconews

@roketronnie Still go to Newcastle VERY occasionally, haven't been for a couple of years though. Remember Dickie Davies introducing greyhound racing from Harringay on World of Sport, hard to believe it was once shown on mainstream TV.

anyone else been to the dogs ? loved a night at Shawfield in an interesting part of the city….. when a caretaker in the Ibrox tce high flats, used to sweep the lifts in the morning, littered with forlorn betting slips from the previous evening #GreyhoundRacing

Some of Norway's recent finds are adjacent to the UK sector and almost certainly extend into the UKCS

Last year I contacted my local MP John Grady about Grooming Gangs and the lack of safety for women and children in the Bridgeton Cross area of Glasgow. We host the highest number of supported asylum seekers in any single local authority in the UK. We host 60-70% of asylum seekers in Scotland, and my area which is one of the most deprived areas in Scotland and Europe, is a central dispersal point. Every evening gangs of men walk up and down our roads. There is visible drug dealing and human trafficking. We’ve had incidents related to men at play parks. We’ve had 11 local Armed response call-outs in 2025, a further 10 centrally, and we also host the SNP drug consumption room, which of course attracts the criminal gangs associated with the large groups of male asylum seekers. Only one, of our local housing associations has a contract with MEARS for ~£15,000,000 spanning the last 5 years. We have a preponderance of Vape shops and Barbers, often not registered, and the area has become unrecognisable. Many people outside my area or from the middle and upper class will say that this is not the case. I will say to them to spend a night or a week in Bridgeton and to observe what’s happening, look at the local crime statistics, speak to the local Coppers and then come back to me. John Grady my local MP has ignored my concerns for my own safety and for that of other women and children in my area. For that reason he will find himself out of a job come the next election. Glasgow East now has a Restore Britain branch, which will be operating a professional outfit, and which wants to involve all people in the local community, using the existing community structures. People who are negative are not welcome. We are out to improve our area, our safety, and to hopefully extend that to the whole of Glasgow East. By everyone I mean that we will be engaging on all levels with all people in our community: Nursery teachers, hairdressers, Mums, daughters, Dads, young men, Fire Brigade, Police, small business owners, mechanics, electricians, and many others not defined in those categories. We would like to hear from everyone. Emails will be sent out soon to those who have already expressed an interest, and I would like to remind the Scottish Government that in Scotland at the moment at least, we are still protected in terms of having a Political opinion and freedom to voice that. Glasgow East End will hopefully start to have a voice, and that will hopefully be heard nationally with @RestoreBritain_ .

@SartorialThug @tnorris03 Mine do too, they just head for the hedge but this one must have decided to sit it out for whatever reason. Interesting behaviour from both though, poor thing must have been terrified.

@rt_gale99 @tnorris03 Interesting. My small birds just scarper.

The Jays have started nest building.
