Remember: if anyone says, 'we need to live with Covid' but doesn't also talk about vaccines, therapeutics, and mitigations, they're not actually saying we need to live with it, they're saying, 'I want to ignore it'.

Some people say that farmers and crofters don’t care. Nothing could be further from the truth... People who don’t care are generally not found asleep in their waterproofs on the kitchen floor, waiting for the next alarm. 👇

What JD Vance said about my Safe Access Zones Act was completely wrong.
He either knows nothing about it and chose to speak about it anyway or he knew exactly what he was doing and was happy to lie about it.

But we need to continue to put clear water between the Greens and other parties.
We’re the only party of the left and we need to be making that case above all else, unapologetically, between now and 2026. (4/4)

Call to remove free bus passes for young as anti-social behaviour surges
Edinburgh city council has called on the Scottish Government to remove free bus passes from young people guilty of anti-social behaviour on city transport. The call comes on the back of growing violence on city buses which saw £1,700 worth of damage in broken bus windows in three days last month and 60 % rise in reports of ASB since the introduction of the passes in 2022.

This was a long X thread on Assisted Dying, a topic I like many others haved wrestled with. For me it centres on the nature of coercion and manipulation, and what that means for genuine freedom of choice. Too long to post here so have tried posting it in photos and alt text. It may/may not work! 1/6
