Avid supporter of all 🇦🇪 rights, Green, SNP, Scottish Independence & fully rejoining 🇪🇺

Born 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Lived 🇨🇦 many years. Canadian too, EH?

Show signs of sepsis when all Far Right/Right wingers in vicinity
#Reform #JeremyKyle the purveyor of televised cruelty has been lined up to media train their candidates. How low will #Farage actually go?

No-one should fall for the Reform spin, lies, hatred, extremism.

But, #Labour is completely lost and #UK is sleepwalking into turquoise coloured hell

DV is the extensive vetting process all #SIS, #MI5, #GCHQ employees go through. Not just once. Others too.

#Mandelson was given the nod before the #CabinetOffice version of a vet was completed. #McSweeney unelected SpAd navigated it.

It stinks. All of it. No change - same shit.

Tapadh leat:)

Aim to be home by May. But heading over yon Pond from 🇨🇦 business meetings this week for a gainder.

1st thing after sleep in Glaschu - special fish supper from any chippy in the vicinity ;) And plain bread!

I'll get a defib on order ;)

Well that's that @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social @glasgowwestend.bsky.social @snp.org

Wife-led expedition to #Glasgow w/ me on video property tour in 🇨🇦 Toronto has an offer on a west-end gaffe agreed in last hour

Two #Scots after decades away, are coming home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Byres Rd: better get ready!

We know medics who've been in #Gaza Crisis continues, #genocide unabated, #NGO workers abused, randomly detained - or worse

#IDF is #ICE on steroids as they share "best practice"

#Rafah reduced to trickle. #Israelis abusing all no matter who

& we all thank #Trump. Criminal & genocide enabler

Imagine this. 0330 🇨🇦 #Toronto time Mobile shows 0141 code. It's my wife with estate agent

"I've arranged video viewing 10am for you. This is our forever home back in our #Glasgow. I love it".

In PJs, coffee brewed in hotel.
I think we are indeed coming home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"If that referendum, was once in generation opportunity, well maybe in decades to come it can be re-examined, but you know what? I doubt it”

Do not trust #Reform - he once said English biggest victims of #racism because of Scots

No indy. No devolution. That's Reform

Us Europeans are worried about #USA
Poor #Kyiv was hammered last night again and #Trump is still infected by his fantasies over #Putin

#Democrats are a hologram with no real strategy except hoping the cruelty of criminals in DC will push it their way come midterms :(

#Toronto. Streetcar 501 to old hood of the Beach, due east of downtown

It's even MORE 🇨🇦 than ever thanks to the megalomaniac on the other side of the Lake

Food in the joint pictured best described as family schtick - sometimes indigestible..but it's Beach folklore. Missed 3500 miles away :(

Associates from #Boston chose to meet us all in #Canada after both Canadians & Europeans expressed concern about being in Trump's America

The amount diverted is $4-6m but a huge symposium diverting from Seattle to Vancouver will be huge

We won't be abused by MAGA nor threatened by authoritarians

When England fell for the lies, Russian interference, #AaronBanks etc of the #Brexit campaign, that was the cue for #Scotland to start the process of indy again.

Everyone in Westminster complains about @angusrobertson.bsky.social and his international role.

Angus can be trusted. FCDO cannot.

Why worry about the mega #Chinese embassy in London when you've got #Mandelson dropping his pants and giving secrets to a paedophile connected to #Putin #Trump and god knows who else?

The falsehood:

" #Israel is fulfilling promises. #Rafah is open. 2nd phase on course. Thank you Pres #Trump, #BoardofPeace "

B.S.

The reality:

It's a trickle. Very limited numbers per 24h. #idf & others abusing, killing #Gazans, aid workers or anyone they dislike

The #genocide continues

Phone call this AM.

"Ian - want to come see us in #Boston #MIT on the AI progress for diagnosis support since you're west side of the Pond"?

Me. "To be honest, no chance. How about Zoom or you pop up to #Toronto. We're all here"

"No problem. Love 🇨🇦 Had enough of this shit"

Says it all #USA

Imagine our Isles swathed in the turquoise blue of racism, extremism, dismantling of social safety nets and even further away from #EU. #reform

The second pic becomes the only alternative as the deep blue of hope and fairness has to be embraced. With a green tinge too ;)

#Gorston&Denton - 2 v different halves.

1 part politically engaged & can see off the extremists with a mix of Muslim, students & young families

Other - disenchanted white working class lied to, preyed upon by #Reform #AdvanceUK

That first ½ needs to be the ⅞
February 2, 2026 at 11:30 AM
#McSweeney - a lead creator of #Starmer Knew it wouldn't be a long term recipe All about #Labour's de-Corbynisation

He's drilled into press round cannon fodder "I don't recognise that" / "I don't accept your framing of this"

Govt of self-service & blame.

Thank god for Marks Workwear. T.O. is frigid - so the whole megilla has been acquired, inc. a balaclava. But not in ICE olive ;)

Even in a deep freeze, T.O. hums. This time it buzzes red and white - collective Canadian pride runs deep.

South over Lake Ontario - fascism is alive & well :(

North America. #USA polarised, withering, #fascist, run by liars, cheats - headed by a criminal - reviled by billions.

#Canada standing up for herself. A beacon of hope north of the 49th.

#Scotland. Yes, was homeless during final year of Uni in #Glasgow. Thru no fault of my own. But I've done ok since.

I'd be happy to pay 5,6,7% extra income tax to help those who need the support.

Malcolm #Offord, #ReformUK & their racist ignoranances are a clear & present danger.

#UK #RoyalFamily cost UK taxpayer c. ££500m in 24. est. £200m - security excl additional costs when a convicted felon from the USA comes to dinner.

I doubt they deliver anything like that in real terms.

When Bill & Cath Wales all dewey eyed visit a homeless shelter, we should remember this.
