Scotland

Clackmannanshire just announced 13% increases. This is why folks, to literally keep the lights on

Hullo folks, how are we daein this week?

Knowing a few highlanders, all they'll find is cannabis and some recreational drugs. But surely some sort of policy should be in place for those who are found to be on performance enhancing, and some sort of reporting scheme too

Just get on with it!

How the fuck has this been allowed to happen? Any chancellor with this large a hole should be resigning immediately. Utterly disgraceful to have happened on their watch and an indignement of Edinburgh University strategy

'S no cheap this stuff. Cause First buses skimming the cream aff the top ah'm sure. But let's see what the uptake is and if folk ditch the car!

No news on a Sunday, nothing happened in south west London about 5 pm yesterday, so here's some cool art instead

I'm still to visit, I did hear it needed a bit more in it though. Here's hoping!

Good to see coordinated action here. Take a boat instead Anders!

An interesting wee read into the life of female chefs in Scotland. Challenging, to put it mildly

Hullo loons and quines, how are we all this cauld evening? Who's got plans fer the nicht? Or anything else this weekend?

Happy valentine's day to us all. Respect each other, and give space and time

10% is wow. Inflation is only 3.5%

The double sidedness of copyright laws is really awful to behold. Peter Mackay here being spot on

I'm no master photographer, I'm afraid, these were all taken on my cheap phone. Fortunately the subject matter does a lot to make up for it

How we doin this week folks? Plans, hopes, dreams? Feel free to share em

The find that keeps giving here. Well worth seeing if you ever get a chance!

It never looked likely to be an early election, so the foaming at the mouth prospective headline is essentially anti-snp shithousery (too stupid). But Labour's budget has been ever so slightly bigger than the Tories, which means it is easier to please the other minor parties.

This is also a dry-run of the 2026 elections in a fashion. Labstain becoming ever more useless. The Tories now in-fighting with reform to be crippled next time. A single Alba likely to be a few next time. The Greens getting more influtlential but still small and idealistic rather than practical. And FibDems still kicking around the fringes trying desperately to be relevant. Somehow Swinney has steadied the ship and made the SNP look like natural leaders to this cabal. But he's also not advancing independence in any major fashion
