2025 was a tough year.
We lost some old friends...
and found some new.
We reported from Scotland and around the world, putting fair and balanced journalism at the heart of what we do.
2026 brings new challenges and opportunities as we move to our new studio in Stirling.

Multiple videos from UK right-wing racist groups fed to me on Facebook this evening. I never comment, I always click "See less". This isn't an algorithm feeding off engagement, it's an algorithm pushing fascism, and somebody's spending a lot of money to do it.

In a healthy democracy, there would bipartisan Articles of Impeachment on the floor of the House by tonight
But we are neither a healthy democracy nor, I would argue—given the end of our separation of powers and our rule of law—a democracy at all anymore

I am deeply concerned at the events we have witnessed unfold in Venezuela over the course of today.
The Maduro regime is without doubt illegitimate and authoritarian but it is absolutely essential that all nations act within the international rules based system. (1/2)

Diosdado Cabello as the new power supporter in VZ supported by Trump.

🇨🇺 Cuba
He’s out of control. He’s deranged. This is the opposite of what he promised America when he ran for president. He said he’d focus on *us*.

Asked who’s running Venezuela, Trump said “a group” and immediately turned to the oil industry. He said oil companies would be paying to rebuild the infrastructure.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

Truly bizarre press conference under way. Trump claims the US will rule Venezuela for now--but no details. Actually, the Venezuelan military is now in charge and there seems to be no plan to get rid of them. And all the blame is being put on Maduro (and his wife).

Trump saying "We are going to run the country until a proper and judicious transition" takes place.
Has the US occupied Venezuela? How will he be able to run the country when the Venezuelan government and military is still in place? Big difference between kidnapping Maduro and occupation.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.
