Interested in people's views (particularly on the left)... John Smith. I've long held a (potentially rose-tinted) view that had he not passed away, everything would have been very different. Do I have it wrong as to what he was like? Have I been fooled by the jumpers?
I miss memepool. It should be rebooted, but with a fresher, up to date name. Crème de la meme, something like that.
Old email turns up something extraordinary from 2013... @StenaLine booking confirmation for Belfast/Cairnryan. Middle-of-day flexi fares. Extraordinary to think that the same booking now comes in easily heading for €700... doubled in price in around a decade... 😭
Israel place near top of the Eurovision tree? My triangulation from that is that they are much more concerned about international public opposition than they let on.

And a virtually inevitable Reform/Tory coalition.
Time to go, Scotland.

🗳️ #GE2029 seat estimate (based on April polling):
🟦 REF 241 (+236)
🔴 LAB 124 (-287)
🔵 CON 119 (-2)
🟠 LD 79 (+7)
🟡 SNP 44 (+35)
🟢 GRN 6 (+2)
This would be the worst result for Labour since 1931.

The council are literally keeping elderly and disabled people prisoners in their own homes. No deliveroo operative will climb 10 flights of stairs. Thank the heavens for my friend @JimSlaven and the vibrant community in Dumbiedykes. Council - do your job and serve your people.

Zooming (sort of) in to Londres on the train, I learn geeking at Google maps that Letchworth Garden City has the UKs first roundabout. Every day is a lesson!
Kneecap thing is interesting on several fronts. Feels like the distance between what the public are actually ready to hear on Palestine, and what the politicians would like to be said in the public sphere - has dramatically widened.
Happy April from Scotland’s South coast. Where spring springs eternal, the sun blazes down, and the local youngsters construct beautiful shell art by the sea to welcome visitors ❤️
Hovering close to the Secret Bunker in Scotland this week has led me to wonder - does anyone know where the current secret bunker is?
Palestinian flags ripple. A socialist worker stall. A Scottish guy stalks the podium with a mic, screaming Jesus and redemption. An unkempt guy walks behind us, music banging out of a plastic bag, spliff in mouth. (1/2)

Israel is bombing Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, the last functioning medical facility in the city. It has taken note of the response of its Western sponsors and allies to its recent summary execution of 15 medical workers, and correctly interpreted the absence of any meaningful reaction as a license to do as it pleases, with no restraint and no consequences.
Up the Arabs! ✊
Congratulations to all at @dundeeunitedfc and to arabs everywhere for achieving top 6 status in the season we got promoted. A great achievement. #P2BAA 🧡🖤🧡🖤

BREAKING: Video emerges of aid workers being fired on in Gaza, contradicting Israel's account of the deadly attack, with 15 bodies found in a "mass grave."
Sky's @AliBunkallSKY has the details.
