Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

The Geat X-Tinction. From an in-house chat app to the most dangerous social media site in history. The magical flight and tragic decline of twitter. And why I left. bylinetimes.com/2025/10/07/t...

Greta Thunberg will be in history books. never stop Greta. you are a beacon of hope. More guts than every leader in this world.

She called out world leaders for sitting by and watching a live-streamed genocide without taking action.

The 'Scottish' media is, to a large extent, the campaigning arm of WM rule of Scotland. Between now & May 2026 it will spin every positive story about Scotland as a negative one, and where that's impossible, will not report positives at all. Try other sources. indyposterboy.scot/the-real-news/

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

The Israeli government denies mistreating Greta Thunberg. Then Police Min Itamar Ben Gvir goes on TV to gleefully announcing that she was indeed tortured. He says he's proud of the fact. It's a great demonstration of how the Israeli government under Netanyahu works, unable to coordinate its lies

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 An exciting first step to a stronger Yes movement - BiS is reaching out across the Yes movement to Reset. Reunite. Rebuild and Win. 🤝 Believe in Scotland and the SNP sign a working agreement, here is everything you need to know: www.believeinscotland.org/a_new_step_t...

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Around 450 jobs have been lost at the Grangemouth oil refinery due to its closure. The refinery, Scotland's only oil processing facility and the UK's oldest, stopped crude oil operations in April 2025. None of the £200 million pledged by the UK government for Grangemouth has been paid out.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Luke Akehurst, MP for North Durham, getting redder by the second......you can actually feel the heat from his raging face as he stutters through trying to defend the mass murder of children......Ive not even looked and I know hes received donations from Israeli Lobbyists......100%

But it’s ok because Larry Ellison only wants a total surveillance superstate. His words not mine. Watch him with Tony Blair below talking about NHS data & all the wonderful things one could do with it. 11/

And now Tony Blair with Trump holds the keys to Gaza’s future. While Oracle, the company owned by the man who bankrolls him - Larry Ellison’s - with its deep relationship with Netanyahu’s govt, will be incorporated into essential uk infrastructure.

We have mums in Ukraine running Air Defence, some decorated by Zelensky himself. A few probably wouldn’t pass Hegseth’s ‘standards.’ Yet his army would be shredded by 19-year-old girls here who can drop Shaheds with the skill of a PlayStation controller. He’s stuck in the past.

Our Crowdfunder for Scottish Independence related media production is coming on. Many incredible donations have been received. We also have window stickers and copies of Julia Campbells excellent "Passport to Scotland" booklets (See the funder pages) www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/funding-fo...

Great result today with the Crowdfunder. We are now at just over £1,500, so 50% of target. Might have been much better had I made the link more obvious on my posts. Dhoooh. Click link below. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/funding-fo...

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

The major political parties, broadcasters, and institutions should all leave X. It's an extremely dangerous disinformation machine, and staying there only legitimises it and the chaotic agenda of the richest man in the world. Who is a raving fucking lunatic. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Israeli Forces Kill 198 Palestinians in Gaza Over Three Days” It’s a genocide. Daily endless massacres, largely ignored in the West.

Priceless 🤣 Two “unionists” get a reality check

Here's one of the red Tories on the Celtic board.

This is really just corruption.

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

🟥 Getting rid of the Tories changed nothing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Next time, let's get rid of Westminster. #BelieveinScotland

Yeah, the guy best known for following the US into a pointless war in the Middle East, put him in charge.

This morning's MRP from YouGov goes to my post yesterday on why the Tories are so close to collapse. The longer Reform is this far ahead the stronger the incentive to defect. samf.substack.com/p/last-rites...

We need MUCH more of this please. Truth about the fraudulent racist & fascist Nigel Farage. @snp.org 🙏👏👏👏

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Atl Council awarded President Macron, President Milei and Infantino (FIFA) with Global Citizen Award. Macron was speaking at the end. Prior to that, Milei was introduced by Bessent - both praised Trump, chanted MAGA. Event was attended by numerous reps of the Trump Admin. youtu.be/OQ94Oj9QZwg

I love how rightwingers keep saying you can’t recognize a Palestinian state because it doesn’t even have any agreed-upon borders. Erm, are they aware that Israel is one of the only countries in the world that refuses to define its own borders?

Helsinki-based Scots filmmaker Gavin Hanigan & myself have spent a week filming to tell Finland’s incredible story. Despite famines, wars, a meter of sea ice half the year & the perennial threat of Russia, these modest people are quietly top performing. A great model for Scotland

While running for the leadership (with McSweeney) Starmer said he would never write for the Sun after the Hillsborough shame. He did. Labour said it planned to complete the second part of Leveson Inquiry. It dropped it. McSweeney (like Mandelson) seems to be Murdoch compliant

England is not Britain England is not the UK When you mean England please say England

They need to realize that America is not withdrawing from Europe, but is actually trying to subjugate it. Europeans need to take Trump’s interference in Europe’s democracies much more seriously, and fight back 👇 euobserver.com/eu-and-the-w...

On this day.. in 1964.. Malta was no longer a colony of Britain. Their independence makes them the country they are today. There is nothing more positive than a country that chooses to stand in its own two feet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has the energy..we just need the power. maltadaily.mt/why-malta-ce...

To the children, students and families from Gaza arriving in Scotland for medical care: You are welcome here. Our communities will stand by you as neighbours and friends, and Scotland stands with the people of Palestine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇸

Is this the first time a British Royals have hosted a convicted criminal & rapist who attempted a coup against the American government ?

a comment from George Katrougalos, the UN expert on equitable international order, shared numerous times. He said: “The people if Scotland have, in my opinion, a constitutional right to determine their political future.” 👇

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

No immigrant caused hikes in the price of energy, water, food, banking, insurance, internet; decline of manufacturing, lack of social housing; PFI; potholed roads; climate change; lack of skilled labour; crisis at universities. Neoliberalism did that Why is Labour not countering Reform narratives?
