Was wondering about the kids & families who have come to Scotland for medical treatment; anyone know if there’s a fund for them to give them some treats??

A statue depicting President Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein briefly appeared Tuesday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with the title, “Best Friends Forever,” and included lines from Trump’s birthday message to Epstein.

NEW: Scots would vote to leave the Union if a new independence referendum were held tomorrow, a new exclusive poll for The National has found ...

Just a note to say that I’ve been raptured. I’m currently in the queue outside the Pearly Gates. There’s very few Christians here though - it’s mostly woke lefties 🤷‍♂️

Americans I am begging you to sort this out. Your mad racist uncle has shat himself in public again.

"I do remember you singing the song starting with the words “gas them all, gas ‘em all, gas them all”. I can’t forget the words. I can’t bring myself to write the rest of it" An open letter to Farage from a former classmate at his private school www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Just noticed that the Labour party and UK government are at an all time low in the opinion polls in Wales 14% Labour. 29% Reform and 30 % Plaid Cymru. What part of attacking senior citizens and disabled folk did they not understand? Denying the Welsh and Scots democracy also isn't a good look.

Please Israeli government. Please stop this massacre. Please stop the genocide. Its hurting the world and shocking to see.

So far GB energy has created 13 jobs in the North East.

Jeez We've currently got an idiot of a journalist on CNN referring to the "King of England". And here was me thinking that only republicans were ignorant.

Isn't it sad that a country that gave Popeye and Olive Oyl to much of the world, along with Micky and Minnie mouse, Bugs Bunny and Jessica Rabbit. The Addams Family. The list goes on. Things that made us laugh and cry and shaped us. Then Trump comes along. Dear oh dear.

Apparently, the only thing that Americans agree upon is: Release the Epstein Files.

Most of Labour's online advertising in Scotland goes on promoting this guy as the potential next FM of Scotland. Seriously.

I didn’t agree with Charlie Kirk on much, but he was 100% right about this.

Not so many years ago health warnings were issued concerning the "fat jab" being dangerous. The UK government has since encouraged people to get the fat jab, primarily to get some people back into the work force. Now one person is dying in the UK every week due to the fat jab.

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

Who'd have guessed? Under the SNP in Scotland there are vastly more GPs than under the Tories (and now Labour) in England. And my semi-rural area does even better! www.datawrapper.de/_/q7r40/

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

Labour HQ still stomping down on local activists that actually know better.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Throwing a brick through the window of a hotel housing asylum seekers in Falkirk is absolutely despicable. People who fled war and persecution deserve to live in safety, not fear. Words have consequences - it’s time for politicians who spread hate to reflect on that.

🚨The UK government has admitted that Israeli air force chief Tomer Bar was given special immunity to visit Britain in July. Bar is responsible for Israel’s aerial bombardment of Gaza which has devastated the coastal strip and left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead.

If you spend just 5 mins researching Nigel Farage's partner Laure Ferrari you will suddenly see clearly how much the media chooses to ignore the big stories for political gain. For a start no one seems to be asking where an unemployed former waitress found £900k to buy a house outright in Clacton

The National is offering students a 9.99 subscription per year for four years.

EXCLUSIVE: The Royal Bank of Scotland’s multi-million-pound art collection is still behind closed doors despite the bank’s bosses’ 16-year-old promise to open it to the public A print by David Hockney and a large sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi are just some of the 2000 original pieces of art

10 years since the Borders Railway reopened - longest in the UK for over a century. Cheaper travel with no more peak rail fares. New funding to electrify the Borders, Fife and suburban Glasgow routes - and to buy new, modern trains. That’s the SNP delivering for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is why we scrapped peak rail fares in Scotland, for good. 👇

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Instead of delivering support on the cost of living, Westminster is busy demonising people who seek sanctuary. I will have no part in it. Our Saltire is a flag of welcome - and refugees are welcome here in Scotland.

www.thenational.scot/news/2544240... KEIR Starmer has admitted that he was wrong in his attacks on John Swinney during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday.

COWARD! Spineless Starmer too frightened to meet Scottish press on trip to #Glasgow. www.thenational.scot/news/2544186...

"I'm ringing the alarm bell for our values, for our common humanity, for our commitment to the oppressed and for those seeking sanctuary" I applaud Scotland's First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social This is exactly what needed said. A vital antidote to hateful political rhetoric from Westminster

Scotland is a nation - and nations have the right to decide their future. Today I have launched and signed the Right to Decide declaration. Let’s make Scotland’s voice heard loud and clear. Add your name here: yes.scot/decide

This is exciting - a newly launched official Antonine Wall Trail that will help walkers to explore Britain's best Roman frontier! I will need to take a look and see how it compares to the route I took as I walked the Wall... storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/45fd... #WallsOnWednesday

“Lush, which operates more than 100 stores across the UK, has also closed down its factories and website for the day. Visitors are instead greeted with a page in the colours of the Palestinian flag which reads: “Stop starving Gaza. We are closed in solidarity.”

From The National newspaper this morning:

Latest YouGov Westminster Voting Intentions poll: The SNP remains most popular by far in Scotland (actually most popular by far in any nation); Labour just pips first in Wales; and Reform well in front in England. Shame only England decides who gets to govern the UK.

More good news in our NHS. ✅ Highest number of operations since the Covid pandemic. ✅ 91.8% of young people were seen within 18 weeks for CAMHS. ✅ 8 and 12 hour waits in A&E are down. Real progress, but plenty more to do. Thanks to our NHS staff for all your hard work.

God forgive you Isreal .

Mon Scotland! 💙🏉 Good luck to our brilliant women’s rugby team as they kick off their World Cup opener. We’re with you every step of the way. #AsOne #RWC2025

Wes Streeting. That you want to privatise the health service in England and take donations from private health companies is bad enough. Stop pontificating on legal freedoms.

The British Tories curtailed freedoms. The current British Labour government has extended that to locking up 80+ year olds for peacefully holding placards. Both parties are as guilty as each other. However US republicans really take the biscuit.

How awesome

Experts discuss plans to save water as dry conditions worsen across England www.theguardian.com/environment/...

People in Scotland are best equipped to decide what kind of country we want - not Westminster politicians. Just look at the disaster of Brexit, austerity and soaring energy costs under both Tory and Labour governments. The real change we need is independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
