I am now safe after being detained and interrogated by Israeli forces and denied entry to Palestine alongside other activists and elected representatives. I will share a fuller statement tomorrow. The @scottishgreens.org stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Nasty hatchet job by Sarah Smith on Adbul El-Sayed on BBC Ten.

For those in any doubt.

This is atrocious Where is PMs condonation? @thesnpmedia.bsky.social #LaraBird

My deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the two people who have tragically lost their lives as a result of Storm Boelo. My thoughts are with all those affected by the damage, and I thank the emergency services working through the night to keep people safe.

Anyone tried the Asda deal? Apparently not going well in Glasgow. Swamped is an understatement.

The Scottish Government’s Resilience Room (SGoRR) has just convened, and the amber warning for wind remains in place in Scotland until 9pm tonight. To stay safe, please keep following the latest advice. My thanks to our emergency services and to everyone for playing their part.

No one really talks about how successful Burnham actually was. A proper leadership contest would havd given the opportunity to examine his record.

Wild out there in the Central Belt. Replacing our back fence has just moved to the top of the to do list - when the wind has dropped. Stay safe folks.

Leave her alone, for pity’s sake

We won’t be fooled again.

By strengthening trade links with India, we can support jobs and economic growth across Scotland. That’s why I’m here with a trade delegation, helping Scottish businesses reach new markets and showing what our country has to offer. Part of my interview with CNN18 earlier. 👇

Stomach churning.

Masterchef Australia. Felt let down by the final. The two best chefs but felt a distinct bias from one of the judges.

What's changed, Ed?

27 new jobs. Any further news from Great British Energy on the rest of promised 1,000 new jobs? www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/energy-polic...

For those who didn't notice Glasgow and Scotland saving the Commonwealth Games. It may be been derided and ignored in England and undervalued by the BBC but outwith the UK people paid attention. Especially India. Soft power by Scotland. Huge results.

I have one BBC writing credit. I got it for Newsjack on R4 Extra. Please sign the petition.

BBC Ten. James Cook live from Jackdaw. He looks very cold and fed up.

Reposting for the jaw dropping awfulness and the hope that the commissioners will think again.

Today, people across the world remember one of the greatest tragedies in Welsh history - the 1966 Aberfan disaster - which left a small mining village robbed of an entire generation

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

Reposting so people can see how vile these individuals are.

Caught the latter half of bbc Scotland news and it was ten minutes of actually Scotland's really not that bad (Please save our jobs).

Reposting. Because the BBC won't.

This is what happens when you have total incompetents like Johnson and Hancock in serious positions.

So #MetsSky are we all Rays fans now? Or cursing the ineptitude of management? Or both? Or just relieved it's not Dodgers going for three in a row?

🤷‍♂️ Andy Burnham, your #SNP26 pass is still waiting to be collected at the front desk.

The times they are a changing. Unthinkable when I was growing up.

Thanks to the hit on that data centre BBC Have Your Say is several degrees less rabid than usual.

It turns this on automatically.

Under no circumstances should we be taking money from these people. Not at our conference, not in our party. c.org/XGXMJB5nBW

Seeing much angst regarding having Gillian MacKay at SNP conference. Why is there no outrage about SPUC on the fringe?

BBC news. Gets sloppier by the day. Reporting that the Holborn and St Pancs by election was caused by Starmer resigning as Prime Minister. Doesn't automatically follow. May stayed. Johnson stayed (briefly). Truss stayed. Sunak is still there.

Imagine. Pay people a decent wage and cut staff turnover, which costs. Respect staff by taking a salary which doesn't take the piss and people will spend their money there. I like Costco. Shame my car doesn't.

Mortgages hit 6%. This is getting into Liz Truss minibudget territory (I know the underlying cause is different.)

I couldn’t make time to attend this conference during its first two years, but this year’s agenda looks incredible, the price is right and I’ve set aside most of this week to take part: Mental Health in Journalism Summit 2026 / Stronger Together: Building Systems of Care

White Sox. On a mission from God. #Postseason

OMG. The Tarp Monster. Great coverage on #BasesCoveredLive

Is Burnham’s government planning a crime against society? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/10...

🚨 Polls are open in the Forth & Endrick by-election - they’ll close at 10pm. If you want an SNP voice that’ll stand up for your area on Stirling Council, you have to vote for it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Get out and vote Mhairi Duncan SNP!

Not only do 🇬🇧 British Governments these days ignore 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland and any priorities we have that are different to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England's, but they're so defensive they refuse to acknowledge where we succeed, and how they might learn from our experience. They deliver worse outcomes for England as a result.

"I quote that not to seek sympathy nor to criticise John Swinney – I don't think he knew the news at the time, and anyway my dad Roy would have been the first to defend his right to say it. I relay it because I want you to know how it made me feel: utterly determined to prove him wrong."
