@SkyHelpTeam SKY threatening to refer me to debt collection agency for not returning equipment. I have email from them on May 28, THANKING me for return. Told by SKY customer services to ignore letters now this. Outrageous customer services

Given Trump-pardoned money laundering offenders now buying our politics …. This might be worth a look. If you don’t want Trump politics taking over ours make sure you fight the threat of Reform and Restore

I had Donald Dewar as a guest at a game. Only me and him. I said I feared Holyrood would never attract the real intellects and talents.

He said have faith and give it a generation.

Well here we are. Donald was a decent man. But he was wrong. Holyrood and devolution has failed.

@ParcelShipping_ Thank you for responding. Royal Mail now investigating; no idea where Parcelforce went on Monday but not to us. A case number has been given to her

[Robert Peston @Peston]

And this powerful statement from Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg

@parcelforce @ParcelForceUkHQ @parcelforceuk My daughter held on phone for one hour chasing a parcel, which is a wedding present. Internet said Parcelforce tried to deliver to address on Monday and left a card. Not true. Was cut off phone after 15 seconds.

More evidence that the president of the United States is psychotic. He’s been called out on this lie for many years. Once upon a time he knew he was bullshitting. But he has convinced himself of it now, as he has with all of the other fantasies with which he today soothes his fragile ego and that the world watches and listens to every day.

That’s the end stage of narcissistic sociopathy, of malignant narcissism. He’s rapidly decompensating into psychosis, and it’s accelerating.

Are we really still going to entrust him with the nuclear codes?

Is the media still not going to talk about the president’s depleted mental health?

Channel 4’s allegations over Reform UK foreign donations get the Father Ted treatment: Nigel Farage faces the Bishop, James Orr and Dan Jukes perform financial miracles, Zia Yusuf spills the tea, and Lee Anderson launches a 30p milk-float getaway. All above board.

🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage & Reform exposed 🚨

We went undercover for a year to investigate illicit foreign donations. To watch the full 35-minute investigation follow link in bio.

Verbatim went undercover in Reform. Nigel Farage has some very serious questions to answer 👇

Drone footage by @thecourieruk shows the area of scenic Fife farmland earmarked for a £5 billion hyperscale AI data centre near the village of Auchtertool. This gives a clear visualisation of why local communities are campaigning against the proposed development.

[ERA @EastRenAsks]

And another £100k for a PR stunt with the guy that went on holiday walking across the US

There are plans for 17 hyperscale data centres across the country. Reports suggest that this is larger than winter peak electricity demand for the whole of Scotland. No one voted for this.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Just as well. Because the bits you control — schools, hospitals, roads, ferries, local services, dangerous drugs — are a shambles. Scottish schools are plummeting down the international league tables, you can’t build a ferry for toffee, Glasgow is a disgrace and you have the worst drug deaths in Europe — by a large margin. And you’ve managed to bring what was once one of the finest legal systems in the world into disrepute — as well as the polis.

@HP TRIED FOR 3 days to connect printer to STARLINK WiFi. Three people have tried to do so using all instructions but NO physical help and you will prevent me using cartridges I have PAID FOR in August 27. It’s a con.

Here's my 21 year Sobriety chip, picked up tonight, here it is: glinting in my hand in the evening sunlight. Everything started again in 2005. So grateful.

Russia has charged the founder and CEO of Telegram with aiding terrorism and put him on an international wanted list.

Pavel Durov was born in Russia but later moved abroad. The Federal Security Service, the FSB, said he had failed to remove "numerous channels, chats and bots" allegedly used by "Ukrainian intelligence agencies, terrorist and extremist organisations" to prepare and coordinate acts of terrorism.

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging apps in Russia. Pavel Durov has previously accused the Kremlin of fabricating pretexts to restrict access to it as part of an attempt to "suppress the right to privacy and free speech."

[Michael Reid @michaelreid52]

Sad news that @BBC is closing its South America bureau, which dates back to the old days of @bbcworldservice This is a slippery slope: the more the BBC stops doing public-service broadcasting the less it can demand public-service financing

NEW: here’s *actual* evidence that Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party is accepting foreign donations via PayPal. Dollars, yuan, Swiss francs, roubles..you name it, they’ll take it. Laundered by PayPal into British £. This *cannot* be legal, surely?? Electoral Commission MUST investigate
