@johnmilbank3 you would still be british, just not UKish

As half English and half Scottish I feel wholly British. If the UK breaks up I will feel I have lost my country. I could not comfortably feel only English. There are very large numbers of people living in England who feel like this. I think it is a problem.

Thoughts from a Labour MP: “We have to face up to the fact every single one of them is fucking useless. Andy’s strategy has been a disaster. Angela bottled it. Ed clearly a hiding to nothing. Wes AWOL. God knows what Catherine West is doing. Not quite sure how we ended up here.”

I keep buying leeks because I have too many potatoes. Then I keep buying more potatoes because I have too many leeks. It's a vichyssoise cycle.

@nabwoodconsult @ASSCnews anecdotally, i know plenty of people who flew to Rome for ITA SCO b/c Edinbruh accom was just too difficult.

@nabwoodconsult @ASSCnews As of now, secondary lets is 1005, 1938 bedrooms, 4072 capacity. Home letting adds 1642 beds, capacity 3306 - a slice of which will activate for August - but not all - and not for rugby, concerts, and all the other things.

More than 3,000 short-term lets in Edinburgh, new data reveals The representative body of Scotland’s self-catering sector has hit out at the government’s “heavy-handed regulatory regime” on short term lets in Edinburgh. Read more: heraldscotland.com/news/26064555.…

Fun fact: if someone tries to sell you something by saying “GEO/AEO is replacing SEO. Your website can rank #1 on Google but be invisible in ChatGPT” there’s a very high chance they are lying to you and scamming you.

This is so sad - hospitality would normally support 38% of first jobs providing entry level routes to work, developing transferable and social skills but these roles are literally being priced out due to ever increasing tax and regulation

@Scaramucci level the playing field, make it a fair fight again.

As a country, how do we get ourselves out of this mess that is the Trump presidency?

@DadRogd @rebecca_ryder21 true

@rebecca_ryder21 Part of the problem is the hoops suppliers are made to jump through before they get a chance to do business with public sector. That bureaucracy costs a *lot* of money, and the supplier has to recoup that cost.

NHS hospital: I noticed the clock on the wall showed the wrong time. A nurse told me they knew, but they wouldn’t report it because replacing the battery through the NHS would cost £70. A £2 battery... £70. How? Why? That's when I began to dig further. 🧵

@michaeljmarra it’s a members bill on a contentious conscience topic - was never going to be 🌞 & 🌈

The last few hours in the Scottish Parliament have been a disgraceful farce. A government that has completely lost control of legislation and a parliament that cannot keep the lights on.

@maxbittker being able to fork out and interrogate same context would be great, without polluting main

Claude code would be a lot more empowering if you could have a side-conversation while it works. When I’m doing hard debugging tasks it’s hard to balance letting it cook with developing my own mental models and steering

@mikegalsworthy @DefenceBrink he says some bonkers shit on his podcast 😂

@DefenceBrink Dearlove himself is just unhinged and dangerous. He was the *only* figure from the UK intelligence community to support Brexit. Furthermore, he was against *any* deal between UK and EU - a position that would’ve utterly crippled the UK economy with legal black holes everywhere.

🚨Ex-MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove says Zack Polanski is a threat to Britain's defence and national security. "This man is really dangerous, making crazy statements about NATO. He's come out with some weird idea about a military alliance with Brazil and Mexico."

@KennyFarq and he’d be like “i’m just doing my job, what i’ve been told to do. take it up with the management”?

The next time I go to a restaurant I’m going to call the waiter over. The conversation will go like this: ME: Hello! WAITER: Hello. ME: Can I ask, have you been my waiter before? WAITER: Er, no, I don’t think so? ME: Cool, well, can I just explain the concept for this customer?

After two decades of distributed computing, SETI@home has released its final analysis. Researchers reduced 12 billion candidate signals to about 100 promising detections—now being re-observed with China's FAST telescope. phys.org/news/2026-01-e…
