Free tuition. Free prescriptions. Scottish Child Payment. Lowest council tax bills in the UK. Peak rail fares gone for good. Child poverty falling. That is our SNP record and proof that self-government works. Imagine how much more we could do with the powers of independence.

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

The National's front page today highlights how genocide was allowed to happen in Gaza, accompanied by a four-page special report 👇

No easy answers to the problems with the UK economy which are set out with his usual clarity here bit.ly/4hrIQI9 by @PJTheEconomist the depressing truth is a useful counterpoint to the easy answers politicians promise to get our votes

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just gong to leave this here so more people are aware of the scumbags attitude. youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?...

To be clear, the US Speaker has adjourned the lower house of Congress early, to avoid votes relating to the publication of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Even by Trump standards, this whole saga is astounding.

If Keir Starmer wants a positive relationship with the Scottish Government, he needs to get his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water. Our rivers are cleaner, our bills are lower - and public ownership delivers for people, not profit. 👇

2. Absurdity is a hallmark of authoritarianism. It's not just that those who believe absurdities commit atrocities. It's also that those who endorse atrocities become absurd. This is where Keir Starmer's government now finds itself.

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

Bear in mind that if you held up a sign saying "I support genocide", you would not be arrested under the Terrorism Act.

Great picture.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

On Trump v Musk “Don’t be fooled into taking sides. Because neither of these men has the voter's best interests at heart It's a battle of the rich trampling on the rights of everyone else” V good on the profound harm these monstrous egos do @maitlis.bsky.social liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/ful...

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

The "cut by two thirds" point is a White House claim. Given that their press release (and Trump's post on the deal) is full of lies and distortions, has anyone checked the numbers?

Farage is a piss-taking grift-machine, churning out populist bollox while furiously working his next lucrative opportunity. His ‘manifesto’ is a joke and he couldn’t care less. Any Reform voters out there thinking their man is in it for them need to get their heads out of their arses.

Our next article comes from @yorkshirebylines.co.uk in which the author @lisaburton.bsky.social exposes Nigel Farage’s history of incitement and violent rhetoric /1 #TruthToPower

When you think of what the US state has at its disposal, totalitarianism does not look impossible: - Facial recognition technology - Armed drones, that can take out marked people - A propaganda system already enmeshed in our lives (social media) - Militias ready to become death squads Resist now.

Zelensky didn't start the war, you Putin-loving MF

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Here’s the plan. We all email Musk and tell him he has to be the first man on Mars. He’s the only one who can do it… it might just work. #MusktoMars

An extraordinary moment. America has publicly resigned its leadership of the free world

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

Research today from Cancer Research UK suggests cancer death rates are 60% higher for people living in the most deprived areas of the UK compared with those in more affluent areas

Trump is losing his rag because Zelensky isn't backing down. He needs Zelensky to back down. So support Zelensky.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Foreign Leader Favourability Ratings amongst British Voters: 🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelenskyy Favourable: 64% Unfavourable: 16% NET: +48% 🇺🇸 Donald Trump Favourable: 22% Unfavourable: 73% NET: -51% 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin Favourable: 4% Unfavourable: 89% NET: -85% Via @YouGov, 16-17 Feb.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

If Scotland was independent we’d currently be enjoying the lowest electricity costs in Europe. Instead as part of the UK we suffer the highest energy bills in Europe.

There was a further payment of €1.7 billion from Apple's tax money into the Government's coffers last month, according to the Department of Finance's Exchequer Returns

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

The boss of GB Energy has told Sky News it could take 20 years to deliver a Labour government pledge of 1,000 jobs for Aberdeen. Short term 2-5 years between 200/500 jobs. Yet again Scotland has been sold a lie by an establishment party in London. #AreYouYesYet news.sky.com/story/keir-s...
