This is very good on the new wave of denialism, although i'd argue that it's increasingly present not just on the right but across British politics
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 11h agoMy column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Why, is this position of ‘Scottish’ secretary necessary?🤔 What exactly is his function?
It would be all over the news rolling coverage. Cobra meeting, police press conference extra money and extra security for facilities. We already know the drill. My friend asked the same question an hour ago on WhatsApp.

Reform quibble 'Nazi' label after councillor speaks at violent 'Unite the Clans' rally
It's no surprise that Reform UK is more offended by people calling Nazis “Nazis” than by Nazis marching alongside them

The stranglehold the rightwing and far right have on our politics is absurd. Not a single policy or idea that benefits the country. A wild aversion to tax, immigration, NetZero, the EU.. trapping us in a dismal dead-end, unable to make progress for fear of the DailyMail demographic losing its shit.
As someone born and bred in the Scottish Highlands from families who have lived and farmed and fished and existed there for time immemorial, I can truly say this unite the clans group of morons is absolutely fuck all to do with any clan, sept or highland way. These cunts cleared us from our crofts.

Andy Burnham says he wants to redistribute power to every corner of the country. That's a noble goal. But it cannot be achieved without ensuring that all votes count equally, regardless of your postcode. To empower left behind communities, we need Proportional Representation.

Burnham has told the elected leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland he's not interested in discussing the constitution, even as he called the unmandated opening of No 10 North “the biggest rebalancing of power our country has seen”. Our country!

I'd urge ppl to go to the website linked below There are many facts and figures I was certainly unaware of It's also only right that Scotland should benefit from ALL the revenue raised from Scotch Whisky not just the 8% we're "given" I hope these figures can show the UN how we're being ripped off

It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet. Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills. Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.
We're less than a decade away from turning into a third world country. The sort of country where corrupt politicians are bought for £5 million and have all their expenses paid by convicted criminals.
Any bill that Holyrood passes has to be approved by westminster before it can become law. We couldn't even set ip a bottle recycling scheme because thd tories got a £20,000 bung from the drinks industry, & did a 180 on their previous support for it. That is not a union, when only one side has a say.
