Kemi Badenoch accepted a £14,000 week-long "residential" for her family and shadow cabinet, courtesy of the chair of climate change denying lobbying group Net Zero Watch.

Weeks later she announced that she has ditched her party's commitment to reaching Net Zero bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

Left at Easter Road today by some Hearts fans. I do worry we're going to see the idea the far right have no support in Scotland horribly disproven at the next election. Loyalism is a fringe movement but there's enough of them to get Reform MSPs elected.

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting.

It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow.

You can get directions here. You’re welcome!

🚨 BREAKING: Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown is on the list of officers submitted to Congress—signaling that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could fire him, officials say.

Are you surprised that Hegseth might target the highest-ranking Black officer in the military? I’m not.

Horrified at what the US Government is doing, not surprised but still horrified. Interested to know what sane Americans think & what sort of pushback, if any, is happening within US?

First up this morning in #5albums70s3. I actually spun it last night and again today. It’s obviously a great record. Especially the first side. But, honestly, I don’t love it. A bit too much god stuff for my taste. But man, can Marvin sing! That finishes up 1971 from #johnsvinyl. #wasplaying
