Amazing to see the usual TERFs wailing & pearl clutching over Rod Liddle’s demise. The same TERFs who claim they’re protecting women & girls from evil trans people are the same TERFs sobbing over the death of a man who beat his pregnant girlfriend & who wanted to shag children.

The SNP's dinosaur wing now ranting about "woke" like a GB News pundit. They do still have many smart, progressive people, but they would be wise to note the number of voters now demanding not just independence but a left of centre vision for Scotland, pro-equality and pro-climate action.

A veteran Nationalist has suggested Nicola Sturgeon is now "more in line with the Green party... than she is with the SNP". It comes after the ex-FM warned against the party moving away from its "environmentalist credentials".

Sure, but it was never a question of whether she was right or wrong. All the MPs and the press knew very well she was correct, because they see it all the time. The point was that some insolent upstart tree-hugger had no business running her big yapping mouth, where the public can hear. The end.

Western Europe’s wildfire crisis retreats as Greece evacuates hundreds near Athens

Western Europe’s wildfire crisis retreats as Greece evacuates hundreds near Athens

High winds prevent firefighting aircraft from collecting seawater as flames spread through Attica Europe’s wildfire crisis fractured along starkly different fronts on Sunday: gale-force winds drove flames deeper into the Athens region and forced fresh evacuations, France guarded a still-burning scar four times the size of Paris against renewed spread, and Spain’s major fires finally stopped advancing. The centre of immediate danger was Greece. Gale-force winds drove flames deeper into western Attica, the administrative region that includes the capital, threatening villages and an industrial district outside the city of Megara as violent wind gusts prevented firefighting aircraft from collecting water from the sea.

Let me explain: this is what happens to the Labour Party in a country where there is another party that’s one nuthair to their left, so they can’t keep their boot on the throat of anyone vaguely left wing: they melt down in wingnut squealing because they are dominated by horrific reactionary cranks.

At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

With all the talk of ‘Women’s Rights Network NI, I had a quick look at the Scotland version. Seems to be significant disquiet with the organisation described as ‘imploded’. Given that they have lobbied and presented in committees in Holyrood perhaps an investigative journalist would have a look.
