Anyone else been shocked by their renewal with @manypets_uk almost DOUBLING monthly premiums from previous year?? How are we supposed to afford that in current climate. Anyone got other insurance they'd recommend? Think I will have to change.

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

Are you kidding me.
Absolutely F*****G INCREDIBLE! Rishi Sunak just spent 2 minutes boasting about how Northern Ireland is the "most exciting exciting investment zone on the planet" because it has full access to the UK and EU market... You know... like we did before Brexit! #WindsorFramework

This isn't news, or a revelation, But frustrating and depressing nonetheless.
‘Boris Johnson is interested in becoming prime minister again. He wants to bring down Rishi Sunak and he’ll use any instrument to do it, and if the Northern Ireland negotiations are that instrument, he’ll pick it up and hit Mr Sunak over the head with it.’ G. Osborne, 19/02/2023

Lots of different views about Nicola Sturgeon's resignation. But as FM she was consistently positive and committed to supporting people seeking refugee protection in Scotland. We hope whoever succeeds her is too #AyeWelcomeRefugees

This is so monstrously stupid as to be almost inconceivable. Putting yourself on the side of Russia and Belarus - and against every member state of the Council of Europe - because you want to do mad, unlawful and inhumane things to migrants. What have we become?

There is absolutely no chance of me having the focus to read a book tonight, which I'd much rather be doing, so let's do a little explainer on devolution, Section 35, and UK trans law! Mostly got an international audience in mind for this, but maybe that includes England, lol.

We are saddened the PM has taken unprecedented steps to block implementation of the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill. These are not the actions of a government that can stand on the international stage as a defender of LGBTQ+ rights. Our statement stonewall.org.uk/about-us/ne…

$725 million is the settlement in America - but @facebook @meta was used to directly bombard c. 7 million with 1 billion Facebook ads grossly distorting the truth in the last weeks of #brexit by @Dominic2306 - he credits these ads as crucial see them here parliament.uk/globalassets/d…
