This is the first time the Conservatives have gained a Westminster seat at a by-election in Scotland since 1967. Horrific result for the SNP caught between endless triangulation on Oil, hopeless delivery of Just Transition and tactical voting of the far-right

No-one cringes harder and deeper than Andrew Neil. Really hilarious how triggered Brits get at Scotland having a positive presence on the world stage

@scotgov is so stupid and parochial that they are celebrating the closure of Grangemouth and the consequent move to importing the products previously sourced there. This isn't an accounting game, this is the composition of the atmosphere changing. robinmcalpine.org/five-years-ago…

Just been told they’ve found a third cancer, this time in Mum’s Lymph nodes. Two weeks ago at her 85th Birthday party, we had 6 to 12 month, now it’s 1 to 3 months. We’re both trying to be positive but…

En el este de Camerún, asi se ven las minas de oro, con madres con sus bebés en brazos y niños de menos de 5 años recolectando el mineral en aguas contaminadas, para llenar los bolsillos a los capitalistas. Esto es el capitalismo, pero como no ves su cadena de producción esclavista en los paises donde los buitres capitalistas saquean los recursos, parece que este otro mundo no existe.
