Glasgow's CCA, which folded in January, is to be investigated by the Scottish charity regulator over its financial governance.  The Ferret has spoken to several former CCA staff members about financial concerns: https://www.theferret.scot/cca-to-be-investigated-over-financial-governance-concerns/

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

New York City: The time has arrived. Finally, a chance to tell the city EXACTLY what your landlord’s been getting away with. NYC’s first Rental Ripoff Hearings are happening in all five boroughs, and we want to hear from you. Real New Yorkers. Real stories. Real policy changes.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social would you speak out about him being on the board of the transphobic hate group Sex Matters immediately before his appointment?

SM have the ear of Labour and linking those bastards to Epstein could do more for trans rights than anything else right now

Changes to Scottish Government guidance following two court cases last year has made this much harder. But there is an opportunity to put this right. You have until March 24th to respond to a Scottish Government consultation on schools buildings regulations and to speak up for trans pupils.

When any pupil goes to school they should be able to do so safely, have appropriate toilet and changing facilities they can use, and be listened to and have their identity respected: www.scottishtrans.org/protect-trans-pupils

Glad to hear Sir Keir wants to end the class divide
Ed Miliband says Starmer wants to end ‘class divide’ in push to move past leadership turmoil – UK politics live
Ed Miliband says Starmer wants to end ‘class divide’ in push to move past leadership turmoil – UK politics live
The prime minister is hosting a meeting of his cabinet as he attempts to push forward following a bruising week for his leadership And here are some more lines from Ed Miliband’s inteviews this morning. Miliband, the energy secretary, rejected suggestions that Keir Starmer woud not be in office for much longer. When this was put to him on BBC Breakfast, he replied: “I don’t agree with that.” He told the BBC’s Nick Robinson that that Robinson was “a bit too far” when he said that Miliband’s call for more “boldness” made it sound as if he wanted Labour to be a bit more like Zack Polanski, the Green leader. He said that he personally had had “very limited contact” with Peter Mandelson. He ruled out standing for the Labour leadership again, telling Sky News: “I’m not going to run.” One leftwing Labour source told The Telegraph: “Everyone from the PM down to the most junior bag carrier knows who was behind the McChicken Coup. And his name rhymes with Les Weeting.” The McChicken Coup refers to apparent efforts to use the ousting of Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir’s chief of staff, to force the Prime Minister to step aside. Wes did not ask Anas to do this; he did not coordinate with Anas on this. Anas is the leader of the Scottish Labour party; he is his own man, and Wes has the highest respect for him. Move on dot org. I mean, let’s just get on. Let’s just move past all this. Come on. I’m saying to our colleagues – don’t focus on yourselves. Focus on the country. That’s what Keir’s message was last night and he’s dead right. Continue reading...

A good reminder from @billybragg.bsky.social about what Starmer once pretended to be - always worth remembering he threw this all away and managed to get fewer votes than Corbyn

February 10, 2026 at 10:24 AM
not as precisely as they did by the 90s, no, but I do remember mid/late 80s that things weren't *quite* so granular -- like, you could be identified as just sort of 'indie' in a way that I think kids do now
