Flu season has started early and it may turn out to be a particularly bad year for flu going by the data for the Southern hemisphere's flu season.
Thankfully the Scottish Government has acted quickly by increasing eligibility for the flu jag in Scotland.

I've run out of patience with all these politicians enriching themselves through 'inadvertent mistakes,' which only come to light once the press have got hold of them.

If Reeves can't budget for a decent letting agency, she can't be trusted with the country's finances.

42M people are going to starve from lack of nutrition & Donald Trump & JD Vance have their talking points it's a "Democratic shutdown". A REAL President & Vice President would NEVER entertain the thought of approximately 1/7 of their constituents going hungry.

THIS IS ALL ON THEM!

The UK political class of MPs have lots of multiple property landlords: on some estimates at least 15% of the Commons including a significant number of Labour MPs. Rachel Reeves is a leading figure in a political class without ethics, a moral compass & political antenna: a symptom of a broken system

This is driving me insane, now. There's no way Labour is winning an election without improving public services and cost of living. If you think further cuts in public services to honour a daft election pledge is going to save either 'trust in politics politics' or Labour you need to get out more.

Two decades ago, Glasgow was branded the “murder capital of Europe.”

Today, homicides there are down by around two-thirds. Across Scotland they’re at their lowest, since records began.

That progress comes from the SNP’s public-health approach to violence, now copied across the UK and beyond.

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.
A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

Scottish flags all over the lampposts in #Maryhill Glasgow. And on some balconies. I saw a guy with one on his balcony and asked why - “Ummigrunts” he barked.

This is really sinister, coordinated & tactical.

The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is not a racist flag

All people, of all nationalities are welcome in #Maryhill

Given that the economy is not shrinking by a trillion every year, I think it's reasonable to assume Nigel Farage is talking out of his arse.

Let's see if professional journalism can make note of this little glitch in his maths.

The term Antifa is a shortening of antifascism. It's NOT a formal organization. It's a belief. A really good one.
The stupidity of trying to declare it a "terrorist organization" is just ludicrous. It would be like doing the same thing with the word democracy.
What the hell is so hard about this?!
