“When days are few life is very precious” Now that the Scottish Parliament has said “no” to Assisted Death ( phew) let’s look at how we can ensure everyone gets the best ‘end of life care’ (in their own beds if they want) thebeatcroft.com/2020/01/

The long wait for Scotland to return to the World Cup is almost over with the first game just hours away now. C’mon Scotland!🙏 The Kelpies in Falkirk will be lit up blue and white tonight to recognise the occasion 😁🐴🐴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️ #falkirk #scotland #scottish #WorldCup #football

I’ve had a glorious week ‘gardening leave’ with my DD Martha. Getting things into shape in the back garden for her wedding next year amongst the bumblebees

The Tartan Army are a credit to Scotland. Here they are in full voice singing ‘Loch Lomond’ in Boston Stadium last night for the World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti. Absolutely glorious.

Safe to say the Tartan Army were impressed by this Boston officer's keepie-uppie skills 😅👮

Thoughts on the baby mouse invasion..

A song for the #Scottish fans and their #American hosts

I went out looking for my spade and found a whole family of baby wrens. One seems to be left behind though

The Great SNP Swindle 🤔 #poetry #politics #snp

What really gets me about all of this is that they tried to pitch themselves as a left leaning ‘party of the people’. And the leadership turned out to be rewarding themselves with luxuries. It’s disgusting

The report into NHS antisemitism by @LordJohnMann begins with the words: ‘The levels of anti-Jewish racism in the UK constitute a national emergency. The Heaton Park Synagogue attack of 2 October 2025, the abhorrent terrorist, arson and other attacks on members of the Jewish community that took place in April 2026 in Golders Green, and across London all point to a worsening of the situation. No sector is untouched by it. The criminal cases, taken together with the data drawn from the Home Office, from the NHS and from various community organisations, and the cases reported to the General Medical Council and other health and care professional regulators, have highlighted allegations of antisemitic behaviour perpetrated by UK doctors and other healthcare professionals. It is within this context that I was asked to undertake a review into tackling antisemitism in the NHS.’

Opinion | The SNP's Holyrood election win is tainted by the Peter Murrell guilty plea. Scots voted on May 7th without the crucial knowledge of the former SNP CEO's corruption. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/polit…

Prosecutors agreed to drop a series of allegations against Peter Murrell that would have heaped further embarrassment on Nicola Sturgeon in exchange for the former SNP chief executive’s guilty plea, it has emerged thetimes.com/uk/scotland/art…

In fact I agree. Going over same stuff again again is wearing /introduces inaccuracies. But best way to improve this is CONTINUITY OF CARE with same dr who knows you. This is in CONTRAST to current health policy. If you want less needless repetition- systematise continuity .

Excellent piece from @Dannythefink

I see John Swinney has finally admitted that the “ring fenced” fund for a 2nd indyref was spent on other things. Apart from the deceit perpetrated on the donors this does rather beg the question of how the SNP would fund a second indyref campaign if they got a section 30 order.

Oops!
