In case you missed it ... The EU's Single Market for Energy facilitates the cheaper sale of surplus energy between member states BEFORE it reaches the open market. Thanks to Brexit, we're no longer a part of that scheme, which means we have to pay more than EU members do. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Trying to ease back into planetary, even though my scope is not the ideal size. Oddly, I was happiest with Saturn from last night, though it was too low in the sky. Mars was my target, but Mars is smaller and harder to capture. I'll continue to work on Mars. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

🇬🇧 That’s bizarre, Scotland’s oil was due to run dry just after Indyref1 in 2014 🤔 Once again Scots are taken for absolute mugs by westminster, whilst Scotland gets mugged of its resources 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Are you YES yet ? 🇪🇺

It is a serious read.We need the truth about the annexation of Scotland and the change to the terms of the original Act of Union 1707 that ended Scotland's sovereignty and voice in this rotten-to-the-core Union, where ONLY England is sovereign, and only England is not devolved to the othe states 👇

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: 2 yrs we’ve waited for ministers to start a national conversation on war - what’s the hold up? More damaging revelations about Reform - can Farage survive? And Russia expert Keir Giles will take your calls on Trump, Putin, war and peace 📞 0345 6060973

You know, it really cheeses me off when the incumbent of Downing Street comes up to Scotland to tell us what’s good for us. We know what’s good for us and it’s always the polar opposite of theirs.

Burnham treating 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland as he would an English region. Still making false claim about the extent of Holyrood powers. Ignoring huge weakening of them post-Brexit. The arrogance of the British gov in ignoring our right to self determination is off the scale. www.thenational.scot/news/2664156...

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…
