All of these BIOLOGICAL WOMEN can now legally enter Women's only spaces and have their Biologically Designated Sex fully protected. Life is complicated, NOT BINARY! Just for further clarity, I fully support women only safe places.

I remember in 2015 Labour & LibDem activists posting nonsense about my new office set up. Lavish furniture claimed on expenses… (I’d bought second hand stuff at auction.) Employing my wife was another ludicrous bit of disinformation.

Facebook reminds me: here’s one of our lockdown staff meetings five years ago today. I was so proud of my amazing - and diverse - team. Majority women. Woman office manager. #LGBTQ + disabled + under 25 staff.

No, I’m not “jubilant”. I’m merely summarising the poll. Quietly optimistic perhaps:
“SNP figures are, at least outwardly, jubilant. As former MP John Nicolson posted saying: “Huge SNP lead in latest poll. Labour has collapsed. Tories a distant fourth.” bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/10/27/h...

The UK Labour Government says it’s a “matter for the Palace”. The SNP disagrees: “the SNP has lodged a motion” at Westminster to “remove Prince Andrew’s title as Duke of York.”

148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.
Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal.
There is so much waste happening.

When clinical trials are suddenly halted by US funding cuts, there are repercussions for investigators and patients, and they do not stop at borders.

Hellish, it's the same where I live, council used to take them down now they don't bother. When a flag becomes a protest that's when the violence isn't far behind it. Flags are only permitted on Flag Poles or Ships, not lamp posts, not that anyone cares these days. Flags stand for pride, not hate!

@johnswinney.bsky.social this should be ringing huge alarm bells all across Scotland. An even more far right party is now being pushed by Musk, which will end up with even more power than Reform, since Twitter will promote it widely. 2026 needs to be a defacto referendum at the 26 election.
"Musk acts as Kingmaker"
Musk switching allegiance from Reform UK to Advance UK impacts their reach on X and has real-world consequences.
So says Musk's AI bot Grok (which I ask, so Musk can't dismiss the analysis so easily).
