I inquired about the cat at Craigmillar Castle in Edinburgh and was told her name is Amber and it is her castle. She accepted four strokes and then had other business to attend to.
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?

Chris Murphy: He doesn't care anymore. It's just non-stop, in-your-face corruption. The latest? If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you advance White House announcements on economic and trade policy. An insider trading subscription service. People will go to jail for this.
Our King's Theatre re-opened after a 4 year refurb & they celebrated with a mahoosive projection on the facade & a one-off performance led by Nicola Benedetti & featuring these three panto stalwarts - a bit scary seeing their coupons so big tbh

Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness
