New files released detail a woman met with the FBI at least four times to allege she had survived being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump when she was a child.
Nothing happened.
The Joani Reid thing seems to have disappeared
I suspect the story is just going to fade away.
“How could she not have known?”
Has the blue tent been deployed yet?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7955ewj7gwo
We wouldn't ask unless it was serious. A planning application has been submitted to convert the offices directly above our pub into serviced accommodation/short-term holiday lets. This is very bad news for us, and here is why: 🍻 The staff in the offices upstairs are regular customers, who have their official post-work drinks here most Fridays, and often pop in throughout the week after a long day. 💡They are the ones who keep the lights on in the depths of winter. If they go, that regular trade is gone. 🚋 Air BnB guests are seasonal, and will jump on a tram and spend their money in the city centre. To add to this, If bedrooms are built above a busy pub and music venue, it spells disaster. 👉 Guests will complain about the noise (music, chat, people smoking outside) 👉 The Council is forced to restrict our licence. 👉 We are forced to close. 👉 Our staff lose their jobs. 👉 There is no funding for Leith Jazz and Blues Festival Malt & Hops has been part of this community since 1747! We survived the pandemic and the cost of living crisis, but we might not survive this. It’s not just us. We are standing with our neighbours - the cafes, restaurants, hairdressers, and other local services. They rely on the office workers upstairs for their daily trade. Tourists don't need a haircut on a Tuesday morning; locals do. Converting these offices kills the ecosystem of our street. HOW YOU CAN HELP (It takes 2 minutes): 1️⃣ Go to the Council Planning Portal here: bit.ly/SaveTheShore 2️⃣ Click "Comments" and "Make a Comment." 3️⃣ OBJECT to the application (Ref: 26/00362/FULSTL). Please SHARE this post. Tag your friends who love a pint here. Tag the bands who have played here. Let’s show them that Leith protects its own. ❤️🍻 #SaveTheShore #KeepItLocal #Leith #Edinburgh #keepedinburghthriving

Please read the alt text.
The offices above the Malt & Hops are potentially being converted into accommodation. This could be very bad for business. The Malt & Hops is a braw pub.

I think Donald has grabbed Keir’s pussy. Again.
Nobody for Labour
The voters have deserted Labour, and it looks like the party members have heeded Keir Starmer's call to leave the party if they don't like its right wing politics.
Labour Party 1890-2026 RIP.
Congenital bone spur?

England needs a new left. Scotland has SNP.
A true American leader speaks.
I wish Starmer had been as clear.
UK 'forces are active' and British planes involved in 'defensive operations' in Middle East - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-forces-are-active-and-british-planes-involved-defensive-operations-middle-east
That’s brilliant. I took a (not as good as that) photo of Jupiter but I couldn’t make out the moons at the time.
Cloudless night sky with lights from the north end of South Uist in the near foreground just beyond a small bay forming part of the South Ford. Orion higher up right of centre.
Beautiful!
Still nice now
The moon about 3 quarters full. Black sky background.
Probably the same moon 1834 this evening from #Benbecula, #Scotland 😂
Another vote winner for Labour. 🤦♂️
Good thread. The Green Party can look forward to the same treatment SNP have endured from the media, including the BBC, and the London based parties for years. The good news for the Greens is that, looking at the current polls, it doesn’t seem to have worked.
Amazon isn’t allowing me to buy anything (maybe not a bad thing!) and isn’t allowing me to report the issue. Anyone else?
Reform pretending we didn't campaign about social issues.
Also nonsense that Gaza is not a top issue for the people of Gorton and Denton. The Gaza genocide is enabled because we have an islamophobic Labour government funded by Israel.
Plenty more where that came from😂
So sorry Sir KidStarver that your were gubbed by that woke lefty lot. The Deform guys let you down. Commiserations to the BBC as well. Hopefully Jackie Sarwar will triumph in Scotland in a few weeks time. You will come up to knock on doors, won’t you?
Yes, we need immigrants and should be welcoming them, not stirring up hate and creating an ever more hostile environment.
London parties please take note.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.
All my neighbours are spreading the word that there have been 2 vehicles come over on the ferry and the men in them are trying doors of both cars and houses, responding aggressively if challenged. #uist #warning
