#AndrewTickell is an exquisitely subtle, precise writer on Scottish politics. His elegant, wistful style reminds me of the #TheObserver's late columnist Alan Watkins, but without Watkins's pretentiousness.
So when facing the political carcass of #AnasSarwar, Tickell doesn't put the boot in. Instead, he takes ornate surgical knives, and dissects #Sarwar with cold precision. Delicious, and much more satisfying than a boot.

Great talk by #GeorgeMonbiot on #TheInvisibleDoctrine - #TheSecretHistoryOfNeoliberalism at #TheVic #GSA union tonight with #TheNational editor Laura Webster. Read the book & go see him if you can. There is hope!

George says politics should be about the billions not the billionaires, #PrivateSufficiencyPublicLuxury
Also, it makes no sense for Scotland to stay in the UK #ScottishIndependence #YouYesYet -
I wish more Canadians were as alarmed about Mark Carney's authoritarian streak as is journalist Althia Raj. It seems that our PM is moving the pieces on the game board at will, and when he's done cheating I have a feeling ordinary Canadians will be on the losing side.
Watching Rosemary Barton trying to shut Raj down is beyond cringe.

CW: EXTREME homophobia by ReformUK Scottish leader Malcolm Offord.
#MalcolmOfford is the #ReformUK leader in Scotland & Nigel #Farage's man north of the border. #Offord's extremely offensive and #homophobic comments on #GeorgeMichael show he is unfit to hold any public office.
Congrats to #TheNational newspaper for printing the vile comments.

Die britische Musikerin Anna Calvi veröffentlicht in dieser Woche ihre neue Duett-EP „Is This All There Is?“. Der Titeltrack ist eine Zusammenarbeit mit Matt Berninger von The National und verbindet die unterschiedlichen Stimmen zu einem eindringlichen Synth-Rock-Song. Calvi schrieb das Stück ursprünglich für den Film The Souvenir Part II, veröffentlichte es jedoch erst jetzt. Inhaltlich

An interesting discussion about how Scotland is held back by Westminster’s Scotland Act in ways that are not always obvious.
Possibly someone with a better understanding of the legal position than myself might care to comment?

6 #PalestineAction activists have been cleared of aggravated burglary at an Elbit site in Filton, near Bristol. Great news, not least because again, a jury refused to convict opponents of genocide and illegal occupation.
But shame on all the news reports calling #Elbit a "defence firm": #BBC, #TheGuardian, #TheNational, and probably others.
Elbit is NOT a "defence firm". It is an arms manufacturer for a genocidal regime.
Stop #defenceWashing the #armstrade and the destruction of #Palestine.

Nick Cave & Bryce Dessner – Train Dreams
Ich habe den Film „Train Dreams“, der auf einer Geschichte von Denis Johnson beruht, noch nicht gesehen, aber ich habe schon beim Anblick dieser Bilder und vor allem beim Hören dieses Songs von Nick Cave und Bryce Dressner (The National) Tränen in den Augen.

Matt Berninger, Frontmann von The National, interpretiert den Klassiker „Blue Monday“ von New Order völlig neu. Ursprünglich im September 2025 als Amazon Original erschienen, ist das Cover seit Anfang 2026 auf allen Plattformen verfügbar. Statt treibender Beats setzt das von Sean O’Brien produzierte Arrangement auf eine rockige Instrumentierung, die Berningers markante Baritonstimme perfe
