What can you say? This was the definite winner they will never top. Also one of the best things I've seen at any PRGE #PRGE #PRGE2026

And they call it progress... Caledonian Brewery #Edinburgh 9 October 2026

Not entirely sure I was ready for the scale of demolition at the Caley Brewery #Edinburgh

Maybe if he had paid his taxes rather than move to avoid them, there would be enough money to improve things... But this is nothing new for Ratcliffe, he said the same in February taxjustice.uk/blog/sir-jim...

taxjustice.ukSir Jim Ratcliffe: pointing fingers at migrants whilst picking Britain's pockets - Tax Justice UKRatcliffe’s attacks on migrants are a distraction from how billionaires like him have systematically extracted wealth from the UK's economy.

Why does the BBC have as one of its lead news stories this morning another Britain-hating interview with Jim 'the UK has been colonised by immigrants' Ratcliffe? What public interest is this serving?

Word of warning for cycling around Harrison Park. The Harrison Road bridge over the canal is now fully closed except for the footpath due to new works. It's not clearly signed if you are used to it being open for bikes. Have seen a couple of cyclists almost crash in to the heras fencing @edi.bike

A few of the placards seen today as the fash got chased off Buchanan Street. Never forget: the far right are indeed dangerous and wicked; and they are also weird and pathetic, and we should say so.

First ever Green constituency, a huge moment! I am sure James Kelly will wish to issue a profuse apology to me. I shan't be reading his website for it, mind you. Also I got pelters for saying Angus Robertson was leading a dishonest campaign. This was yesterday. Vindication through. the. roof. ^AF

Muslims using the insurgent Green Party as a Trojan horse apparently WTF?! That’s lol funny

#EdTravCyc just encountered that Lower Gilmore Place is closed parallel to the canal for a big crane - you can divert round via Lochrin Quay or Leamington Road but there's lots of equipment moving around @edi.bike

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

grist.orgOne mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 lossCopenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Bit of a mess in Tollcross this morning. No signage about Valleyfield Street closure, but was prepared thanks to @edi.bike so went up to Glengyle Terrace where there's a sign saying "Cycle lane closed use Valleyfield Street" What's going on??

Union Path closures 9am-5pm daily until next Wednesday 3rd September. They'll be moving southwards generally, so hopefully cycle access should be possible by Harrison Park in later stages. It should be a manned closure. www.scottishcanals.co.uk/boating/ongo... #EdTravCyc @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk

There's a temporary closure of the Union Canal towpath at Harrison Park due to tree works (today 26/08). A diversion is signposted @edinburghminute.bsky.social @edcriticalmass.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @sw20.info

This little parable is a nice illustration of why it is important for mainstream parties to set and uphold clear, bright line anti-prejudice norms, and of why the failure of senior Conservatives to do so risks doing great harm to their party

Don't give a fuck about immigration or where people come from or who is living in this country. And in my experience the only people who do are racists. Don't know why that conversation is so difficult.

On the corner of Rose Street North Lane #Edinburgh Have walked passed it countless times without noticing

Must admit I'm enjoying EPCR TV coverage with no commentary much more that PremierSports. Better quality stream, good audio and camera angles. Although the sad clip of Muncaster on crutches in the tunnel at half time was a bit much
