Twitter is full of surprises. Today I got called a 'sexist asshole' by Roseanne Barr of 80s sitcom fame. :-)

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Prunella Scales. Prunella, alongside her late husband Timothy West, was a devoted supporter of Waverley throughout the ship’s preservation career and served as a Patron of the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society. Her warmth and

As the replies under Kirstie’s post make clear, if you’re a woman who chooses to not subscribe to the Cult of Gender Critical, the TERFs will come for you & subject you to the worst kinds of personal abuse & aggravation. Transphobia has nothing to do with feminism.
Loathing & fearing transwomen is a sad way to lead your life, but it’s also a massive red herring, across the globe women’s rights are being eroded Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Nigeria, in many places we are going backwards. If only the 🦕 & 💜💚🤍 really focused on women’s rights.

Well worth a read if you are interested in medieval history of the Black Isle area. Neil has done some great work pulling various sources together. @TarradaleTT @NosasBlog @WorthingtonD

I won’t be on @absoluteradio for a few weeks as I’m having an operation on Thursday that will blow your mind. As a result of the life-saving spinal surgery I had two years ago, the nerves to my bladder and bowel were cut. This has left me with a stoma for solids and the need to

Back in 2023, Aston Villa made a similar decision to the one they made last night. But I don't remember anybody screaming and shouting about it being anti-Polish..

@Adamental2 And this is not govt policy. According to @grok, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada wrote this opposing the expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying and it circulated widely on social media in May 2025, sparking misinformation about MAID access for children. It’s propaganda

"The last time I checked, Northern Ireland did vote to leave." Kemi Badenoch has mistakenly said Northern Ireland "voted to leave" the EU as she defended her party's record on Brexit. More from her interview with @BBCJayneMcC on @bbctheview tonight https://t.co/G4NaD6n9q7

Today the scottish parliament is voting on stage 1 of the dog theft (scotland) bill an utterly pointless piece of legislation criminalising the theft of dogs, something which (it will astonish no one) is already criminal. A gesture. I find this sort of legislation inexplicable.

The Courier wrote an awful headline and article about asylum seekers in Perth this week and today they published an editorial about me denying a right to reply. Here's one anyway. This is a fragile situation. Words matter. https://t.co/rJgmU8tDqg

‘Fear of disorder behind asylum secrecy’ screamed The Courier’s front page on Monday morning. Inside, the article suggested that Perth and Kinross Council had deliberately…

It depresses me how much fellow political journalists are down-playing this - a dranatic story not just about Russia corrupting a British politician - as they've done in Germany & France - but also about the character judgement & relationships of Reform leaders Farage & Tice.
It's an important story this, & deserves much more attention. Nathan Gill was an important ally of Nigel Farage, and one of the few former Ukip MEPs whom Farage allowed to stand for the new Brexit Party at the 2019 Euro election.

Starting to feel a bit sorry for him now. I mean he is objectively not worse than Liz Truss or Boris Johnson. I suppose it is just the disappointment factor. In trying to please everyone, he has pleased no-one.
New from @Ipsos_in_the_UK Keir Starmer is the most unpopular PM in the history of Ipsos polling. Net satisfaction with PM -66 Meanwhile Reform lead at 12. Reform 34 Labour 22 Conservatives 14 (record low) Lib Dems 12 Greens 12
