Reform UK now have multiple viable paths to power in Britain. They could reach No.10 without ever facing proper scrutiny – another critical failure of the mainstream press. Help us hold Reform to account in 2026 with a massive new wave of investigations👇 subscribe.bylinetimes.com/reformscruti...

Labour have form in this. They cost Scotland - Glasgow to be more precise, £770m it cost. The SNP finally settled the court case - started by Labour, having to sell off £200m in properties to help pay that bill Now they lose £80m a year from budgets because of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...

WOW.... 1 YEAR!! Yet when there was like a day of bin problems in Scotland it was wall to wall coverage with unionist politicians standing around pointing at bags. Yet, here we are... a year and mountains of rubbish later, and it's hardly reported. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

lol, Scottish Labour are the worst Labour, if ye think the neolibs in Westminster are bad, our fuckheads have had two decades practice living in their constructed la la land of total cognitive dissonance, they abandoned coherent thought even before the second referendum

They have always thought that the votes of everyone in Scotland is their natural entitlement, and losing power to the SNP broke all their brains in a way from which they’ve never really recovered.

Feels to me like it would be good for organisations that want to remain trans inclusive to contribute to this survey. We will certainly be influenced by the results. open.substack.com/pub/joannelo...

Bastards.

Onay Kasab from @unitetheunion.bsky.social explains that last year the union agreed to framework proposals with Birmingham Council, then the council withdrew the agreement and now they're refusing to negotiate with the union at all! Solidarity with the Birmingham bin workers ✊

Onay Kasab from @unitetheunion.bsky.social : "The council have spent over £17 million now just trying to break the strike.. they could have resolved the dispute for a fraction of that cost" Shocking. Solidarity with the Birmingham bin workers

FTSE 100 bosses will have to work less than three days of 2026 to overtake the average annual salary of a full-time UK worker, according to new research

Who do people think a dying Russia with 145 million people can oppress 500 million Europeans ? How long can it resist imploding when its vastness is emptying of people ? How long before its Asian neighbours carve it up ?https://theukrainianreview.info/russia-without-villages-formalising-decline/

The outcome of any democratic election depends not just on how voters cast their ballot… …but also how the electoral system processes them. By Professor Sir John Curtice

At midnight on the last day of each year the world sings a song written in Scotland toasted with a drink made in Scotland. Yet we’re not allowed to decide if we can be an independent nation because our neighbour won’t permit us to. #Scotland #IndependenceIsNormal #GE2026

Anybody willing to bet how long that commitment will last before it’s binned? #StarmerChameleon

Trump taking ‘drill, baby, drill’ plan to Venezuela ‘terrible’ for climate, experts warn ‘Everybody loses’ if production supercharged in country with largest known oil reserves www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Reform Sheffield East activists ‘suspended from party for life’

Best way for us all to combat Trump? 1) Boycott all US goods 2) The UK rejoining the EU - which is increasingly likely, so join the national campaign 👇👇

Reform are surging in Scotland.. Why ? Simply because the other unionists parties are no longer viable and unionists voters can’t see that an SNP vote and independence is now the only strategy Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 needs. Reform will ruin this Country. Untried untested , not wanted. #endtheunion #reformout

EXCLUSIVE: The SNP have issued a withering response after Anas Sarwar challenged John Swinney to a series of TV debates on his Scottish Government’s record

yo scots, pls keep in mind that anas sarwar is a trump loving bigot who went out of his way to support rancid transphobe sandy peggie. even after it was revealed that she'd spent months harassing and abusing an innocent trans women doctor simply for the crime of being employed.

Scotland's First Minister, John Swinney, makes a clearer & far less obsequious statement about the US attack on Venezuela than does PM Keir Starmer.

Every single FOI is "seen" by the press and dutifully reported as SNP baaaaad. I wonder if someone could do an FOI request and see how much money is wasted, fulfilling pointless FOI requests made by Toryscum, Liebour, PlebDems and Deform?

The world capitulates. 150 countries agree plan to stop global companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, but US companies will be exempt from 15% global minimum tax. They make profit we fund the cost. The race to the bottom will accelerate.

Did Farage get his trip to Mar A Lago paid by Cottrell to negotiate his aide and donor's fraud pardon? Nigel Farage took a Mar-a-Lago trip, paid for by ex-convict BFF George Cottrell months ago. See it in his expenses here.

From George Monbiot

Satirical videos of a man walking through Welsh towns and landscapes, saying he is 'scouting locations' for a new mega mosque have been causing a stir online recently

A “leadership debate requires leaders – so Anas Sarwar might want to ask his Westminster boss if he's free”. “The First Minister is looking forward to standing on the SNP's record in debates over the election campaign. But it's not for the party trailing in third place to dictate the format."

Where the fuck did these "stats" come from?

Interesting to hear the thoughts of @calumkerr.bsky.social, my local SNP candidate for the May 7th election, on our First Minister's rousing speech in Glasgow today... Are you ready for the Scotland we want? youtube.com/shorts/v5Ien...

It could be useful news for the government that X is much less important than they seem to believe, + tell parliament. However, this big misperception of importance of X may be one significant factor in many v.skewed perceptions of our political + media elite (across parties) about public attitudes

In addition to the Ofcom inquiry as to what the platform is doing to prevent its own production of the unlawful material, there should be a dedicated team making arrrests + charges + a comms campaign about that being unlawful, arrestable and chargeable

BBC's Jeremy Bowen, "The Trump world view is now clearer than ever" "It is that big countries can impose their will as they deem necessary on smaller countries" "Seize troublesome leaders" "Seize natural resources, like Venezuelan oil" "This is for Trump a new imperial era"

Jeremy Corbyn, "If you accept the idea that a country can unilaterally go in and change the head of a government, where does it stop?" "This is a total violation of international law"

Trump is acting more like Putin by the day…

Richard Burgon, "The Prime Minister Keir Starmer is willing to ditch international law and side step the United Nations charter in order to appease Donald Trump" "Doesn't this cowardly craven approach drag this countries reputation in the dirt?" Yvette Cooper responds like a coward by deflecting

The US bombed Venezuela & kidnapped its leader, all in violation of international law. Darren McCaffrey: Is Maduro a decent man? Is he a friend of yours? Can you bring yourself to say he's not a nice guy? Why don't you say he was an evil dictator? If you condemn him I'll move on

This explains so much. People with psychopathic traits and low cognitive ability are over-represented in online political activity. If someone is being cruel, obnoxious and ridiculous, don't try to reason with them. Chances are you won't get anywhere. Just block. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Shop price inflation edged up in December as food price rises continued to add pressure to household budgets, figures indicate

Hilarious, the whole ‘Has Mumsnet fallen for Farage?’ is answered in this paragraph. Also, this is 2026, not 2009.

"We know that the real reason that the US wants to.. orchestrate.. regime change is for resources. Its for oil, its for minerals, nothing about it is for the freedom of the Venezuelan people" Yep!

Death toll from US attacks in Venezuela rises to 80, could go higher. Trump told reporters: “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.” At the UN many condemned US violation of the UN Charter, the UK hasn't.

Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.

All three people on the Sky News review use the word 'kidnap' to describe what the US has done (although the host remembers to add the words "if you see it that way"). Unlike over on the BBC, where people are under strict instructions not to use that word.

Wes Streeting is asked if Trump has broken international law when it comes to Venezuela. Streeting says he's got nothing to add and he's not here to be a commentator. I mean, which idiot thinks politicians should answer questions when they're being interviewed in a TV studio!

Trump says he's 'very serious' about taking Greenland - despite warnings it will end NATO. The unhinged felon is a threat to global peace, and has provided a template for powerful nations to expand empires by force. Who will impose sanctions on the US?
