I just learned of the UK's smallest bat, the Soprano Pipistrelle, which is just the greatest name for an animal ever
I'm a member and the fact that Barry Fuckwit, who slags them off online before going to the beach with his 5yo and gets into trouble on his Aldi paddleboard off the rocks of Cornwall dressed only in in sunburn and racism, doesn't realise that they will willingly risk their lives for him, enrages me
Absolutely extraordinary organisation staffed by extraordinary people

Like maggots all serve a useful purpose
I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.

Un-proscribe certain terrorists- obviously not the ones supporting Palestine but certainly do deals either the Taliban
HURRAH !!! 🇺🇦SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦 🌻🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵💛💛💛💛💛🌻
🔥President of Azerbaijan Aliyev called the "Special Military Operation" an invasion and emphasized support for Ukraine's territorial integrity, according to Azerbaijani media.
Docketed: A federal judge issued a written order barring Kilmar Abrego Garcia from being moved more than 200 miles from the court — or deported outside the continental United States — through the next hearing in his habeas corpus lawsuit on Oct. 6. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Genuinely baffled as to what Bertie Jenrick would have to do for any of the one in ten Tory MPs from an ethnic minority to go “steady on”. Turn up at their house in a Klan robe?
Admired in UK
A Ukrainian soldier had his throat slit by russians, was dumped into a pit with 7 of his mutilated brothers-in-arms, and CRAWLED for 5 days to reach his own. He lived. They didn’t. This is what “russian world” means. #UkrainianView

They think we've forgotten.
The REAL STORY is STILL THIS: AND WE MUST KEEP IT THAT WAY.
Correct And the Scottish Government down right refused to have them moved out of his telescope line I mean he wasn’t asking much!!
Or SNP with 9 MPs
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?
Certainly weirdos - why did it stop
& Margaret Thatcher’s awful legacy comes home to roost. Privatising Water, energy, rail, buses. Throwing housing into inflationary rents by not allowing Local Authorities to reinvest in housing while forcing them to implement right to buy
Palestinian journalist Mariam Abu Daqqa was killed in a live-broadcasted Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, along with four of her colleagues. In a letter to her son, Mariam wrote: “You are my love, my strength and my pride.” Read her final words to him:
Avelo flies migrants to hellholes in other countries for ICE. Fuck Avelo, and if you give them business, fuck you too.
So he would be happy with YS Govt under a Democrat administration taking more equity stakes in private businesses
Jeanine Pirro is on Fox & Friends whining that she can’t “touch” 15 year olds in Washington DC
Got that, Bone Spurs? Wes Moore says keep his name out of your mouth. Well done, Governor! 👏🏻
Sky News, "What should people know?" UNICEF, "500,000 children are being affected by Israel's escalation in Gaza: malnourished, exhausted, traumatised"
Don’t belief ANONYMOUS’s statement made any sense. Because the majority of 🇺🇦 Ukrainians strongly wanted immediately to defend their homeland that Russia 🇷🇺 was held off. The majority didn’t need political debate to know exactly where they stood in the national reaction of 🇺🇦to illegal invasion
That question was asked and answered instinctively in blood and determination and bravery. That we forced Ukraine to defend Europe alone, and with one hand tied behind its back, is shameful. Trump’s playing fast and loose with Ukraine’s aid, let alone his outright bribery is shameful.
We are the enemy because we do not feel threatened by diversity or inclusion. Decency will survive, but it will cost us.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
😂
Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day. Slava Ukraini! This is Ukraine now, this Ukraine will never again in history be forced into the shame "Russians" call a "compromise." We need a just peace. What our future will be is up to us alone, and the world respects it. kyivindependent.com/ukraine-will...
Ukraini Independence Day Hurrah 💥
🇺🇦is UKRAINI Independence Day🇺🇦🌻Slava Ukraini

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
Thanks Julian. An excellent poem & very memorable
✅Welcome
Sneaking through. #photography #landscape #vines #in_my_backyard
Peeping cautious visitors
Thanks
😃Ah well. It was the shyte & eek it both frequently expressed in Glasgow. I heard your (correct ) words said with powerful conviction in Glaswegian Do visit 😎

How does the last line of the grave stone poem read? It’s obscured by foliage. Thanks
A tombstone in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, photographed by Andy Darby. Note the border inscription.
Are you from Glasgow ? 😊or did you learn English here (Glasgow) ? Perfect Glaswegian ✅
No not surprised either. Do you have statistics on the fall of interest in going to US?
Saying directly is a big stretch
On my travels yesterday : #fucktrump
Why does he want her? She lost every case she represented him in. It’s just her looks

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists
☀️
They’re coming back
I think about this a lot when I think about the mess that we’re in.
We hear you loud and clear, Madame Secretary.
Well played, Governor 👏🏼

Really?! I didn’t realise things were so bad.
Yep
Daily "aww" for today... 😊 #dog #dogday #bluesky

That might work in a true democracy but in a quickly developing dictatorship more than tolerance & humour might not be enough
Scotland has brought its train company into state ownership, its Water is nationalised & has no debt to overseas investors
"I'm Donald Trump's 27th sexual assault victim... Jeffrey Epstein walked me into his office to be sexually assaulted by him." — Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Stacey Williams in February 2025
I am extremely worried about this.
1/5 🧵 The six GOP-led states sending National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., are Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Despite their claims of crime problems, data shows that violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low and declining. Please repost 🔄
Realistically it can’t.
Scotland has voted left of centre (quite left) continuously since 1955 while the UK as a whole have voted Right for most of the time
I support a free Independent Puerto Rico I hope it achieves this & thrives as its own self governing country. It certainly has the potential. I support Scotland’s Independence from UK. Scotland was an Independent nation state for many hundreds of years. We 🏴have like PR fantastic resources
Yes I agree it is an enormous injustice how Puerto Rico is treated & suffering by that treatment. I wonder if an Independent country of Puerto Rico might not do better by itself. So long as US doesn’t threaten it & respects it as another sovereign state. As a supporter of Scottish Independence
“Was it a mistake, killing five journalists?” From the new Private Eye, out now.
Agree the issues are not exactly the same. But both are large areas with significant populations administered by US, answerable to US justice & government but have no representation in the Legislature, neither Senators nor House Representatives
Fast moving coup
🔥 Four of Russia’s biggest oil refineries are down for good thanks to Ukrainian drones & #Flamingo missiles. Russia can’t defend itself, and we will destroy their war machine step by step. Someone tell #Trump: size doesn’t matter when they’re broke and helpless.
😂
Puerto Rico as well
& your handbag was like what? A Filet Mignon perhaps?
Yes you’re right. I realised that as soon as I’d typed it.
It was the entrance to his golf course. One of the ones that ScottishbGovg is considering an unexplained wealth investigation
Texas Republicans just passed there. 5 seat gerrymandering bill
Hitler had his Hitler Youth. Marching, strutting, frightening & intimidating people & loving the uniforms & power
Don’t know if you remember a few years back in Scotland Trump was arriving in his 1000 car motorcade. Just at the entrance gate A Mexican group fully flagged 🇲🇽played & sang a Mexican ‘Welcome’
For sure, still very young but more like 6 months. The enthusiasm to learn is great to watch
