Labour have returned to an old idea. They plan to impose socialism upon every decision made by every public body in the land. With a single change in the law. They have learned nothing and will ruin everything. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

£179 million was spent planning the Stonehenge tunnel. £0 spent building it. The project was scrapped. Most went on: • Design • Environmental compliance • Archaeology • Legal challenges All whilst our cities and towns fall apart due to lack of investment.

The @ONS has confirmed it won’t ask for “gender identity” in next year’s census test 👇 “Ideology should have no place in this exercise. It should ask about sex, male or female, and instruct respondents to answer honestly.” @DerryBanShee in @DailyMail dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

A father has launched proceedings against Brighton & Hove for its daft as a brush policy of allowing any boy who says he is a "girl" licence to wander at will into girls' toilets/changing rooms in one of its schools. Outcome seems inevitable but dad has had to sue to establish.

@alexmassie @LauraBe36550188 Public face of a political party might be more apt.

This is an extraordinary thing for the leader of a political party to retweet.

@WingsScotland Nothing like a wee jolly to the big smoke, where was Airmiles Angus?

Council questioned on 'scandalous' multi-million spend on doomed hydrogen buses dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-… dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Some of us have been pointing this out for quite some time..."Classically there is “civil society,” that part of society separate from the state. Here we have “civic Scotland,” that part of society grant-funded by the state." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/f/slou…

Britain last built a major reservoir in 1992. Our population has risen 13 million since then. The result…

@GeorgeFoulkes @graeme_from_IT Holyrood is holding Scotland back & costing taxpayers a fortune same as Westminster & House of Lords & we’re capitulating to Brussels under Starmer when there was a democratic vote to get off the gravy train.

Did Westminster screw up the Ferries? Did Westminster fund SNP supporting NGO’s? Did Westminster divert money from replacing dangerous cladding? And many more? No! It’s SNP independence which is holding Scotland back.

When Governments start running out of money, they look for new taxes or increase existing taxes. They never, ever look at how they could cut their OWN spending Why is that?

@ThatGrassSmell @putey_pute I don’t mind, sometimes you’ve forgotten to ask for something or need another round of drinks

@putey_pute Unfortunately (as former server) a lot of the time we're trained to do this because certain people wait until they've eaten almost everything before making up a complaint about something, just to try to get the full meal free. We used to live in a high-trust society.

Controversial opinion; I can’t stand it when my ‘server’ (waiter) asks me mid-meal if everything’s ok. I find it a rude and unnecessary interruption.

The Online Safety Act has created a minefield for individuals and businesses trying to navigate life online. The consequences of getting any of the Ofcom guidance wrong can be financially ruinous. So, we at @SpeechUnion want to help! Do you run a small to medium website that Ofcom is looking into? Are you likely to fall into the ‘small but risky’ category of providers? Have Ofcom approached you and your business about OSA compliance? If this answer is yes, please contact us at legal@freespeechunion.org

Edward Snowden said it the best: "When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'" "Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."

Britain imports energy while France & China power their nations with nuclear. Build 10–15 nuclear plants here and we could power 29 million British homes and export energy and finally take control of our electricity. How is this not obvious?

Any party who is focused on the idea that a self-selecting group of male adults are women on their say-so is a party to disregard on this simple litmus test. If they are prepared to lie about this, they will lie about anything.

“Elderly people who paid for care out of own pockets covered the cost by selling their houses, & increase in property prices [made them] human equivalent of ATMs. Care homes were the slot for withdrawing their cash.” And policymakers wonder why oldies stick in their own house??

A doctor drank a petri dish of bacteria to prove every expert wrong. He won the Nobel Prize. In 1982, every doctor on earth knew stomach ulcers were caused by stress and spicy food. Patients were put on antacids for life. Zantac alone was a billion-dollar drug. Nobody questioned it. Then Barry Marshall and Robin Warren found a spiral bacterium called H. pylori living in the stomachs of ulcer patients. They said bacteria caused ulcers. The medical establishment laughed. Bacteria can't survive in stomach acid. Papers rejected. Mocked at conferences. So in 1984, Marshall drank a broth of H. pylori. Within days he was vomiting with severe gastritis. He biopsied his own stomach and proved the bacteria were there, destroying the lining. Then he cured himself with a two-week course of antibiotics. A two-week course of pills replaced a lifetime of antacids. The cure was cheaper than the disease. And that was the problem. The antacid industry was worth billions. A cheap cure was bad for business. It took a decade for the medical establishment to accept what Marshall had already proven with his own body. In 2005, Marshall and Warren won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Millions of ulcer patients are now cured with antibiotics instead of managed with pills for life. He poisoned himself to save millions. They called him crazy. Follow the money. Question everything. #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #QuestionEverything #FollowTheMoney #BigPharma

Fantastic reporting from Dan! The cosy relationship between the third sector and SG is causing serious policy failures and needs to be addressed urgently.

It’s never about what they say it's about.
