Important thing to do. Today, after a very, very wet few days, the sun came out and the wind dtopped in Wester Ross so we went for a walk next to Upper Loch Torridon. We stopped and watched a couple of otters, one feeding quite close to us. Absolutely lovely. Poor phone snap.

When I say the politics will become increasingly obvious... I mean look at this. If you want to unite the left/centre and split the Tories, without a big spending committment there's no better option.

The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

Zelenskyy says Trump has betrayed Ukraine.

Fascinating! Yesterday, I watched a corvid of some sort singlehandedly harass and see off a sea eagle, the biggest bird in the UK, over Upper Loch Torridon, Wester Ross.

When will Americans waken up to this corrupt, greedy, small-minded, thin-skinned, deluded and probably mentally ill, embarrassing simulation of a president? He's bringing their country to its knees and the rest of the world is suffering the fallout.

Look at the graph of US support for Ukraine, and how it disappeared when Trump entered his second term. The Russia hoax was never a hoax

BBC was describing our summer as 43% wetter than average. The year more broadly must be approaching 50% by now🥺☔🌧️💧

If you’re thinking that *this time* they will have to admit Trump’s depravity & their hideous folly in supporting him. Then I’m afraid you’re in for another nasty surprise…

Nailed it. 🔨

Encouraging although Norwegians are generally more community minded and pro equality than many other nationalities which may even trickle up into their most wealthy. But I'm up for testing it here in the UK!

Although perhaps some grown-up could point out that offering a horrendous criminal what may be seen as a martyrdom video might not be such a clever idea

It's an extraordinary hit job being done on Zack Polanski today for someone who gained 22 points in an election (and when Tories and Reform went down). He must be really worrying the competition.

This is a deliberate attempt to blood civilians, breach our moral boundaries and make us complicit in their filthy crimes. They want us to become as vile and debased as they are. Resist
