Welcome to Wauker; it's social media, but better.

Wauker is a Sutherland-based social media platform, used for microblogging. Users may share posts including text (up to a limit of 380 characters), images, and videos, as well as links. It is owned by a charitable, but for-profit, organisation of the same name, with numerous investors. The platform offers a wide range of voices, news, subcultures, and topics, as well as experts and fact-checked information; the organisation employs fact-checkers to verify the information, and flags users repeatedly spreading misinformation as untrustworthy. "Untrusted" accounts receive a red ! next to the user tag, and reduced visibility, as well as being pushed further down the algorithm.

The site also has a long-form video function, for those submitting video documentaries or other long-form content as a part of their social media presence, as well as enhanced verification and moderation provisions.

First established in 2013, as a splinter of Lund (an existing social media platform in Sutherland), it has now become the most prominent social media platform, particularly amongst Generation M.​

"The taps are being shut off," a joint Labour-Green statement said last night.

#Green party promises to reinvest "every shilling" going to carbon capture into "green energy projects" on day one, says Catrin Talbot.

This follows six years of carbon capture project investment by the #Liberal-#VDA government, with mixed results. Billions of shillings have gone towards the project, and whilst the previous government have defended it as necessary to combat climate change, it has been referred to as something of a "white elephant" by the left-wing parties, with Labour nicknaming it "corporate capture" over the participation of major oil and gas companies in securing contracts and subsidies.

A new #Liberal leadership contest will be held "after the transition government is concluded," an official party statement announced, giving the strongest indication yet that present Chancellor Allister Ramsay is expecting to resign in the very near future. It also urged "potential contenders" to "postpone public campaigns" until the start of the official contest.

This comes after a sustained week of pressure against Allister Ramsay following poor electoral results last month. Ramsay had previously stated that he intended on remaining leader "for the time being", but had hinted strongly before the election that he would vacate the leadership if the Liberals did not enter government.

#Labour and the #Greens have unveiled the #RenewalGovernment plan:
- Reversal of austerity and pay freezes, recruitment drives, as well as ending privatisations
- National care service and LHA performance and reform review
- #GreenNewDeal - hundreds of billions in investment and thousands of new jobs
- #HousingFirst to be reintroduced, with a mass housebuilding, planning reform, and futureproofing plan
- Homelessness to be eradicated within 3 years
- Advocacy for an international rules-based system over "rampant militarism", as well as "engagement" with the #AN
- Increased, but "responsible", defence spending
- SWS-S wealth fund investment to pivot towards "green investment", "left-behind regions and net-zero transition zones", and "infrastructure"
- An end to deep-sea mining permits, until 2030 at the earliest

This signals a clear intention to seek a minority government coalition.

The Meteorological Office (BME) has released a red heat warning for the majority of Rosalia - including Leiria - and Tìr, and the Azures as a heatwave arrives in the north-east of Sutherland. Ibissia and Mellieħa, as well as Greystones, Somerdal, Serraverda, and the Camberlands, have received an amber warning. These are effective from 10h this morning, through 18h in the evening tomorrow (12th January).

A cold weather front, meanwhile, is continuing to pull temperatures down in the south-west. Eamont and the Sound are expected to maintain at seasonal averages, however the western coast may see some chillier days and cold winds in the next week.

Reeve for Warding Loþwyk Strauȝan has confirmed #WinterBudget speculation that the Sagan government will increase defence spending from its current 2.1% of GDP to 2.5% in 2026, and then to 2.75% by 2028.

"It is undeniable that the Eastern Hemisphere has entered a dark hour," Strauȝan told Channel 2 News last night, "and therefore it is critical that we have a force capable of ensuring peace, safety, and socioeconomic security in our neighbourhood with these new demands."

The #LiberalLeadership election has resulted in a landslide for firebrand "liberal-populist" Willem Menȝies, who received 53% of the first-preference votes, ahead of ex-National Bank chairman Adelard Steenbeck, "libertarian" Rudyard Kærulf, and the factional leaders of Rose Lloyd and Magnus Beck. Menȝies has largely outperformed leadership polls predicting a second round between Menȝies and the anti-populist Steenbeck.

Outgoing leader Allister Ramsay congratulated Menȝies. "I wish him well, and trust he will make the message for forward-facing progressive liberalism to the nation for years to come."

Oft-known for his tech-friendly, radical-liberal politics, Menȝies has earnt the name "Silicon Will" in Liberal circles.


Menȝies has outlined his strong support for "traditional Liberal values", but has pivoted away from the Ramsay-era legacy, supporting:
- A "public-private" plan involving both public housebuilding and planning deregulation, including automatic approval laws;
- "Flexicurity" - welfare transitioned to prefer employees between work over long-term unemployment, for "hand-ups not handouts";
- A Start-Up Investment Bank to provide loans and investment to start-up and small businesses for public procurement;
- Universal mental healthcare for all;
- A Green Industrial Revolution, prioritising Sutherland's specialisms in renewable energy, AI, technology, green construction, and high-tech industry over oil and gas;
- A "rebalancing" of the tax burden from income and investment (away from "young professionals") to assets, land, and rent.

"The argument for liberalism is stronger than ever before," Menȝies stated at the Liberal Party Conference (LPC26) in Adelaide, "and it is up to us to make a break with the past, to create hope and growth in a country where decline has taken hold."
