I'm delighted to hear that BP doubled their profits, making £4.2bn in just 3 months. Not that I have any vested interest in it, other than the £50,000 given to us by the wife of former senior BP executive James Hay.
I don’t even really think they want to win at this point
RDCK98@comradekenobi.bsky.social · 4d agoReading this, and thinking about the 2026 election where activists boycotted campaigning for Scottish Labour and LGBT+ voters held with SNP on the constituency and Greens on the list, wondering what on earth the theory of victory is from left-wing transphobes www.heraldscotland.com/news/2642848...
As one proud United Kingdom, we have achieved great things together. Now Swinney wants to throw our centuries of shared history in the bin? Ludicrous. Pool and share.

Stick to spending limits, PM and chancellor tell ministers in joint memo. Cue for real cuts; continuation of potholed roads, housing crisis, NHS queues, unfit schools, privatisations? Real change not possible whilst neoliberalism remains the opium of the political class.
John Healey and Andy Burnham urge ministers to stick to spending limits in joint Budget memo
The Chancellor said the Budget on 28 October would “meet our fiscal rules” and give families "stability" to plan for the future.

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
Nicolas Chinardet@zefrog.eu · 3d agoAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?
It still hasn’t learned anything. This was Newsnight on Thursday, here studio guests are discussing Andy Burnham reinstating Diane Abbott. Whilst they allow Jewish commentators to be a part of the panel to air their displeasure, there was not one black person or even Diane Abbott there to counter

Did you know about the chaos and civil war raging inside Labour in Scotland, following Anas Sarwar's untimely departure and peerage? That's because the BBC and other media have designed to ignore it 🤷 Here's one of the potential candidates for next leader...
Always worth seeing this again. Farage squirms as Republican Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant."

Been listening to some of the coverage of the Games on the BBC World Service and it certainly seems to have generated great enthusiasm from athletes and spectators alike. But then it was hosted by Glasgow. As they say, People Make Glasgow.

A rare moment of clarity from the Daily Mail. The SNP in the 1970s said Scotland's wealth was being stolen. It was, then frittered away on tax cuts that mainly benefitted London, with nothing to show for it. No legacy at all. Renewables are going the same way. www.dailymail.com/news/article...
Norway hit the North Sea oil jackpot - but they used the money wisely
Norway consistently ranks at the top of the UN Human Development Index. It can do so because, in the 1970s, it hit the same oil jackpot as Britain - but it went in a very different direction.
