π¨ BREAKING: Labour MP Emma Lewell says she will defy Keir Starmer and vote for him to be referred to the Privileges Committee
"The way today's vote has been handled by the Government smacks once again of being out of touch and disconnected from the public mood"

Last year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpeβs steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down.
I couldnβt let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel.
Time and again, people want to write off Britainβs workers. The Tories did it again and again.
My Labour government will never leave workers behind. Weβre investing in British steelmaking across our country β so we can make more of our own steel here at home.

85 years since the #Clydebank Blitz.
On the nights of 13th and 14th March 1941 German bombers devastated the Burgh. 528 people were killed and around 35,000 were left homeless. Scotland greatest loss of life in the modern era. Do not forget their names.

A #democracy that weakens its intellectual infrastructure weakens its capacity to govern. Different systems make different choices about how education is funded and valued, and the model matters, because it shapes what survives when finances tighten. #HigherEducation #Democracy

If you've seen the Sunday Times today you'll know Labour Together were secretly hiring people to investigate journalists. Sadly you won't know that The National exclusively broke this story six months ago, since our work is not credited at all.
The National revealed that Starmer's allies at Labour Together were hiring investigators to look into journalists and writers back in September, in this great piece by @PulaRJS and @OborneTweets
These are the people running the country. It's bleak.

β¦ Iβd say Technology governance is too important to outsource to X threads @columeastwood and stacked headlines and dramatic quotes are not proof of runaway autonomy.

AI capability is advancing rapidly thatβs a fact. Letβs also be mindful that threads are not evidence, resignations and dramatic quotes are not proof of runaway autonomy.
Governance requires data, transparency and regulatory design. Not adrenaline @michaelgove

A life lived to the full in the service of Scotland, a phenomenal work ethic, the sharpest of intellectual rigour, and exemplified dignity, fairness and respect in her contribution to public life.Jeane and her wonderful laugh will be remembered and missed by many.
