Good idea💡

We’re helping more than 12 million Canadians get ahead, with the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.

Payments will start hitting bank accounts soon — with a one-time top up payment on June 5th, and quarterly payments starting on July 3rd.

Scotland is the only part of the UK with free eye tests and the SNP will protect them.

We will also invest in more treatment in the community and give people faster, easier access to the care they need.

😔🐾🐾 I know what this feels like

Goodblaatsiaq. Cooled down from last night's -8. Some ptarmigan by my friend Joe's place earlier this morning

In this bag are my medications which I require to keep me alive and healthy. They are delivered to my door free of charge by Omnicare Pharmacy. What did my medications cost me? ~ £0.00 Ever grateful to #NHSScotland I never take my care for granted😌

If nothing else, the decision to sack Robbins, when he didn't need to, must rank as one of the most absurd acts of political self-harm any prime minister has yet committed. All of this eminently foreseeable.

Lots of dark blue headed birds.

It’s Grackle season. ✨

This morning I’ve seen Olly Robbins’s appearance before the select committee described as ‘box office’, while a commentator flagged up another key political moment with the words ‘bring the popcorn’.

That’s one of our main problems right there.

Stone effigies of an armoured knight and a lady on top of a tomb in Benington church, Hertfordshire. Both figures lie on their backs facing upwards and are shown at prayer. A large candlestick is visible in the background,

Faces of power from long ago fashioned most finely from stone. Here, Sir Edward de Benstede and his wife Joan Thornbury at Benington, Herts. Edward successfully navigated the end of Richard II’s reign to serve under Henry IV. Remarkably, he was around 77 when he died - a grand age. #TombTuesday

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

"Meet Gerald — the dolphin who’s been pulling up on us since December here in Icacos, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

He doesn’t show up every day… but when he does, he stays 🤯
Swimming with us, following us around, just vibing like part of the crew."

BBC News December 2024:
‘Farage has meanwhile said that he "might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he's a very intelligent man" and would be good choice for ambassador.’

Oh my!!!

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Holy cow. I got a Wilson's snipe in flight! They are so shy, and I didn't even see it until it took flight.

@gander22h.bsky.social Have you ever been to Glasgow to see what we do with traffic cones?

I totally understand this 😊

Dearie me!! That’s just so appalling 👇😱

Dogs are also a dog's best pal.

💕🐶💖🐕🐾

#dogs #friendships #sweet

Made me laugh 🤣🤭👇

Very wise! Hope you enjoyed the tour. So very many stories in this city.

A lot of American tourists visiting #Edinburgh right now. Not a single solitary MAGA ball cap to be seen, anywhere.
