@JoshuaHogarth1 @OnthisdayRN That was from the compensation given to enslavers after the ending of slavery in British empire 1833, not the ending of the slave trade.

@OnthisdayRN If you were a British person paying tax prior to 2015, you were paying off the national debt that all this incurred.

#OnThisDay 1807 the Abolition of Slave Trade act gains Royal assent making trade of African slaves illegal in the Empire. In the decades that followed the Royal Navy captured over 1600 ships, freeing over 150,000 slaves. The cost was 2% of Government spending or half of RN budget

I had a job to do in South Queensferry and I left home in brilliant sunshine. However, when I arrived in South Queensferry, it was shrouded in haar. Not to be deterred, I went back to North Queensferry, found a nice vantage point, and waited for this to unfold in front of me.

@militaryhistori Must admit did not have Googling “Sex Festival Turnbridge Wells” on my Friday Night Bingo Card.

Hi all, To celebrate Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day, I’ll be giving all the profits I make from book sales this weekend (Friday to Sunday) to Comic Relief. Thanks x amazon.co.uk/s?k=slt+newbie… #ComicRelief #rednoseday

@EdnaKrabapple1 @EISUnion @Teachers4Perm I would prefer they stood up to the gvt and put a stop to some of the things creating workload. Tracking meta skills for example. And workload linked to Deputes’ “Into Headship” course should be made clear and optional.

@captainrosa_ @EISUnion There's no supply in primary either but that was due to the lack of permanent jobs. People have moved on to other jobs due to need to pay bills. @Teachers4Perm

Anyone else worried at the deal agreed by @EISUnion? Primary teachers have to wait till 2027 & secondary till 2029! Why the wait? Can we really trust any new Parliament to stick to the deal?

@OhDidYeAye @of_cocker @JohnSwinney Yes there is, in certain secondary areas and in certain geographical areas.

@of_cocker @JohnSwinney Children get the same amount of in class learning time… And there isn’t a shortage of teachers in Scotland…

Good news for Scottish education 👇

@railLKB @AlexMacLeod9 Lump or Lumo 😁

@AlexMacLeod9 A Kings Cross to Queen Street service is now back up and running, Lump extended their route from Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street. And they can do it because their trains are short enough to fit into *most* platform at GLQ.

A lot of people have been asking; Since Glasgow Central has been blocked off, why don't Avanti use Glasgow Queen Street? It's an interesting question to let's explore it! 🧵👇

It’s a three cone kinda day.

@micha4768 @LBC @BenKentish The tanks were never in George Sq. They sat, unused, in the cattle market. Arrived days after the riot.

@LBC @BenKentish It's been done before UK gov put tanks in George sq in Glasgow

'You're a disgrace, please don't call this show again.' @BenKentish hangs up in disgust after caller David phones in to support the Iranian regime.

@ThomasH61880061 @ProfJWR Nonsense. So how come I’ve got over 30 in my BGE classes? You actually think that’s going to shrink to 12 next year? Get a grip.

@ProfJWR Did you know the 'teacher per pupil ratio' will decrease to 12 in 2026-27 because the numbers of teachers decreased more slowly than the decrease in the number of pupils over the past few years and that this is equivalent to an increase of 3,500 more teachers.

As BBC Scotland lie that EIS members had already voted 'overwhelmingly' to strike, the truth - Teachers vote goes against strike action - leaders and media disappointed they can't blame SNP so will waste their member fees by having another vote talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/16/tea…

@usasmitty sound on 😉

Been standing here for 15 minutes. Nothing!
