@PippaCrerar @colinmccredie How about “Stop the Energy company profiteering”? Or “Stop the corruption”. Maybe even “ Stop the insidious drift towards Fascism”? Admittedly none of them are as catchy as “Stop the Boats” but probably a lot more useful to the UK electorate.

My lovely colleagues helped me celebrate reaching my 20 year anniversary with @PathsforAll today. A virtual coffee break & some beautiful flowers was a grand start to the day! There's a lot to reflect on in 20 years but the great colleagues & organisation have always been a given

This journey of mine is full of incredible experiences. Here I am, a hosted guest of @mallaighotel, in one of their sumptuous studio apartments. Last night I was in my rain lashed tent & tonight I’m in the lap of luxury! I’m so grateful for the kindness I’m receiving everywhere.

Just watching C4 news. Thousands of English school kids watching the game from Qatar today learned a valuable lesson - principles matter - unless of course they have consequences. In which case you drop them. FIFA is corrupt. Don’t watch the games

@euanmcilwraith Knock down the few 60’s/ 70’s monstrosities that blight Union Street and rebuild them using local granite and traditional skills. It would reinstate the finest granite street scape in Europe. Then create lots of “shallow” smaller shops out of the abandoned giant shops.

Allow angled short term parking like St. Andrews. Buzzing high street no walking miles from expensive multi story. They banned parking and union street died. Used to pop into Bruce millers for a guitar string which then became a half hour walk or one click on Amazon no brainier
Ben Philip@BenPhilip_

An “emergency summit” will take place this afternoon aimed at tackling the decline of Aberdeen’s Union Street. More than 150 businesses and organisations are taking part to identify improvements for the thoroughfare. What do you think can be done to revive the Granite Mile?

1/ Last month, I visited this epic canyon in North Iceland and captured one of my favorite autumn images ever. This canyon is so 3.5 km long and 1 km wide, so it was a technically complex task to capture it from this exact angle 🍂

@euanmcilwraith One of the real joys of using a proper Scottish neep is the way it wrinkles and decays over time, gathering “character” so that it looks scarier and scarier. Personally I’m quite enjoying the experience….

Neeps make a big comeback……pumpkins sent back to US where they belong. Just finished number three. Grandchildren and one for here. No one is ever scared of a big orange blob…but a real tumpshie from the land of the Celt…now that’s a very different vegetable..stay firm.

Last night, the truth, the facts, the full horror of Brexit was expertly collated and presented by Ros Atkins. For the economy, for business investment and for you, it's an unmitigated disaster. Here's a small clip, but you can watch his full show here - bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing, time after time, and expecting a different result. The selection process of the Conservative Party gave us Johnson and Truss. No more. Give people what they really want - a General Election. Let the people decide.

I’m not going to pretend I don’t swear, I do, sometimes a lot, but watching British politics on the news at the moment is not doing my language any good at all.

Rocketing inflation, spiralling energy costs, people having to choose between heating or eating, unprecedented political chaos and this is the time when Labour leader Keir Starmer decides to crack a weak gag at PMQ’s. Is the man completely incapable of rage or righteous anger?
