@alex.scotlibdems.org.uk reflects on the ongoing shortage of functional ferries serving the Western Isles and outlines the reasons that he thinks it merits a recall of the Scottish Parliament.
Calum Macdonald and Andy Maciver discuss Reform’s recent Aberdeen rally, where Nigel Farage suggested that the party can take power at Holyrood in 2031… not in 2026 as Scottish leader Malcolm Offord has previously claimed.
"Reform clearly benefits from that" @ailsahenderson.bsky.social, from the University of Edinburgh, suggests that Reform's messaging is resonating somewhat well with Scottish voters, but suggests that it's not the first time a party in Scotland has attempted to shake-up the status quo.
Andy Maciver reacts to the news that Douglas Lumsden is set to run in the Aberdeen South Westminster by-election, just a few days after being re-elected to The Scottish Parliament. The seat will be vacated by Stephen Flynn who is leaving Westminster for Holyrood.
Geoff Aberdein reflects on John Swinney’s personal achievement on being re-elected First Minister, but points out just how fine the margins were in the SNP’s victory. He claims that all people in Scotland want to see now is real world change and actual policy delivery.
“I don’t believe any of them” Calum Macdonald reads a message from one of Scotland’s modern studies teachers who suggests that they have no idea who they will vote for, and that they might even spoil their ballot. Another example of voter apathy: will we see a record low turnout?

Anas Sarwar — clear, confident and bold… but is anyone listening? Strong in interviews, sharp on tax, growth and education. But when Westminster looms large, even the clearest message gets drowned out. #Scotland #Politics #Elections #UKPolitics
“Really bad politics from him as well, I’m afraid” Geoff Aberdein suggests that Russell Findlay’s decision not to meet the First Minister for post election talks is a really poor political decision. Why would they refuse a chance to get their policy priorities on the record?
Will Russell Findlay lose his seat? Andy Maciver looks through The Times Scotland's constituency-by-constituency poll. He points out that if it’s correct and Jackson Carlaw remains an MSP, it could very well result in Russell Findlay losing his seat...

Trump's economic approval is not just the lowest in either of his terms. His net approval is lower than that of any president for any term. He's making the type of history that no president likes to make.
Donald Trump has decided to withdraw the U.S. from UN-Habitat, UN Women, and 66 other organizations funded by American taxpayers. He says the UN promotes invasions instead of stopping them, and America will no longer fund its own harm. Donald Trump is *MY* President!
🇺🇸🇵🇸⚡️ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “In the case of AIPAC, defense contractors, and their allies, they want votes for war and silence while American tax dollars go to the genocide and displacement of Palestinians and the invasion of Iran as the global economy descends into chaos.”

Both Trump and Iran need a deal. Even short of war, the ceasefire is putting too much pressure on the US economy and the GOP's political prospects. And Iran needs to translate the outcome of the war into much-needed sanctions relief. Both will lose if a deal is missed.

The problem is he did put out what he called a plan and the press reported it as if it was plan. Our original post came because he was making a specific claim of how his plan would impact a billionaire based on his "plan". So, either his figure is made up, or he has plan details he hasn't released.

Hitting a Claude usage limit SUCKS, not just because of the limit, but also because of the abrupt halt to your creative momentum. You're riding a wave of ideas and productivity, then everything suddenly stops. It underscores your reliance on the tool, not a weakness, but a testament to power!
