I really hope positive things come in threes….. Brazil Serbia …….

Over the past 15 years, Hungary’s atlatszo.hu has become a leading investigative newsroom, uncovering Orbán-era corruption while enduring police raids and smear campaigns. Founder Tamás Bodoky looks back—and ahead.

This is getting interesting….

A regular reminder electricity generation in the whole of Scotland is pretty much always a big impressive 0 Carbon Intensity About time England caught up with some onshore wind at some point…South west England is 248 currently ‘Very High’

🌕 Did you know October’s #fullmoon has a special connection to badgers? 🦡 In #Gaelic, it’s known as Gealach a’ Bhruic, meaning ‘the badger’s moon’. According to #Highland folklore, badgers use the bright moonlight to gather dry grass for their underground homes. 🍂

My standing search on the phrase "stochastic parrots" regularly turns up people labeling it a "thought-terminating cliché". I think maybe they're right, but not the way the think they are: >>

What about live to the Liberal Democrat’s or even the SNP (they have 8 MPs too) Honest to goodness BBC news get a grip

This is the correct combination to persuade British voters. Euro is much more of a public opinion barrier than FoM. samf.substack.com/p/the-route-...

The stock markets and bond markets are no supporters of democracy, and we should never allow them to dictate the limits of politics.

Scot #GreenParty members have overwhelmingly rejected plans to support new #nuclear power in #Scotland. www.thenational.scot/news/2666800...

Ćalciland this morning. That's the former goon squad camp in front of the National Assembly in Belgrade. Masked men in black arrived at 7.30pm last night - then legged it when Vučić conceded. The Student List supporters cleared out the camp. For the first time in 18 months, it's safe to walk here.

Naomi has polling evidence, I have trade policy evidence that Made in Europe means the UK being further squeezed out of manufacturing supply chains, and that talking about Freedom of Movement is a response to that.

Cumulative energy generation over the past few days as Storms Austen and Boelo pass through

You mean like the one France has had for years that has notably failed to prevent it being the most visited country in the world?

Don't listen to Jonn - we did this in Edinburgh & I can't tell you how damaging it was. At the time i assumed the warnings - from Airbnb lobbyists who cared nothing for the city - were a load of hysterical shit but it turned out they were right. No one comes to Edinburgh now - it's a ghost town.

Being able to speak and video call people in other countries really easily My sister worked for MSF back in the day and we once went 3 years not being able to chat It didn’t help I was a student and couldn’t afford the phone call either

Companies like Amazon profited from our communities while giving far too little back. Scottish Greens would tax billionaire online retailers and use the money raised to support small businesses on our high streets.

REBUILD THE MACK Positive news with proposal of a SPV to lead on rebuilding the Glasgow School of Art Document below rebuildthemack.com

The chief executive of Summerhall Arts, Sam Gough, has written an extensive letter requesting help following the acquisition of the Royal (Dick) Vet School from luxury house builder AMA.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... If this was a novel virus, and the death toll was recurring annually, there would be a relentless international effort to tackle it. But climate change induced deaths just aren’t given the respect they deserve.

We are thrilled by the news that Scottish Ministers have approved the compulsory purchase of Mavisbank and send good wishes and congratulations to Dr Anna Keay and thank her for her work in Scotland for the Landmark Trust. buff.ly/9vuwQOJ

My understanding is the award of a £300k peatland restoration grant from public money, is that deer numbers are kept below 4 per sq km. Surely that’s the point of the grant? I’ve got little tolerance for extremely wealthy estate owners seeking more hand outs How about flogging some of their land🤷‍♀️

I spoke, as Chair of @soclablaw.bsky.social, at the Oxford Union last night against the motion “This House believes that the UK should leave the European Convention on Human Rights”, alongside a trio of talented students. Supporting the motion were Suella Braverman, Lord Lilley, and Martin Howe KC.

Love the Storyville documentary Strand on BBC 4, this one about the E Jean Carroll who has brought Trump to justice for rape & defamation is brilliant What a woman www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

At this time of year you might spot squirrels caching food for the winter by burying it. You might also spot them pretending to bury it, then taking it off somewhere else if they think they're being watched by a potential thief!

COMING SOON 📚 Jock Stein: the definitive biography by Archie Macpherson 🏆 This compelling biography reappraises the life and career of Jock Stein, one of the greatest football managers of all time.

Excellent decision Suspect Swinney has learnt from his Trump Menie experience

Today, The Scottish Government announced that they have REFUSED plans to develop a golf course at Coul Links in Sutherland. This fragile landscape is home to some of our rarest and most threatened wildlife, so this a huge win for nature! 1/3

AMOC tipping point One to look at if you live like me in Scotland which depends on the AMOC for our mild winters (for our latitude)

Got to love the Eye covers

This is good the Conservatives have to own the Covid debacle in its entirety, Remember the blinking “eat out to help out” 🙈

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

Did the government not just experience the same summer we did? Burning new gas from Jackdaw after thousands died prematurely due to extreme heat just months ago is incomprehensible and, as the govt admits, won’t lower bills. This is the wrong decision.🧵 tinyurl.com/3uu556xr

It really isn’t rocket science GB Energy taking a financial stake in renewable projects other than nuclear (that no one wants) EDF, Statcraft, RWE, EPS are all managing to have stakes, GBE could have developed on state owned land 🤷‍♀️ I do really despair www.politico.eu/article/ed-m...

BBC Scotland TV channel to close - isn't it wild that an elected Scottish Government has no control over the broadcasting that happens here? bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/10/20/b...
