Apart from @bylinetimes.bsky.social and assoc publications Journalists have become extinct at BBC, SKY, ITV,Telegraph, Times etc etc
They’re pumped up PR artists for the right masquerading as journalists, with pretences of intellectual excellence to try & add weight to their lightweight “reports”

Once again, this isn’t journalism. It’s stroking the ego of a politician who’s done great national harm.
WhyTF should we take Farage seriously? Just because he wants power? Even more reason for ruthless scrutiny.
His track record is racist and ruinous. Any serious journalist would say so.

"Top of the list is the Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, who has declared outside earnings of more than £873,000 since the general election." goodlaw.social/ixfr
Top five MPs bag £2m outside parliament since July | Good Law Project
Nigel Farage and a few other MPs are snapping up vast amounts of cash from rental properties and jobs outside the House of Commons. Is representing their constituents just a side hustle?

Scotland generates far more clean electricity than it uses - a massive surplus from wind, hydro & other renewables. In 2023 we EXPORTED £1.5 BILLION worth to the UK National Grid
enough electricity to power millions beyond our own population yet we have some of the highest energy bills in Europe.

The Music Venue Trust launched its Annual Report at the Scottish Parliament. Whilst the report highlights key achievements and figures, it also tells of the issues that grassroots music venues are facing.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.
1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

El Salvador PR exercise. The Supreme Court decided 11-0 that this fellow was deported illegally. Trump administration refuses to repatriate him! When Gov breaks the law what do you do?

It's a real pity her support for Icelandic independence doesn't carry over into support for Scotland's independence - the land of her birth.
