May 10, 2025 - when Zelenskyy agreed to a 30-day ceasefire and Macron called Trump to share the good news - his first reaction was… to mention his Nobel Peace Prize. Of course Putin would go on and reject the ceasefire. But this clip does provide a glimpse into what’s going on behind the scenes.

I’m watching this from Scotland and I can’t believe how terrible it all is and how fast it is escalating. Sending love and solidarity and hope for an end to this madness soon 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Farage: epic grifter

Frozen fish on ice with headline text ‘GUTTED – How Westminster slashed funding to Scotland’s fishing industry.

Scotland’s fishing industry makes up more than half of the UK’s total catch.

Yet Labour’s new funding plan gives us less than 8% of the support.

They’re gutting our industry to boost England’s - just like they have with others.

10 years since the Borders Railway reopened - longest in the UK for over a century.
