As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition. The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

PFI was a massive drain on public services. This government is trying something "similar" – but we've seen NOTHING that suggests they've learned from past mistakes. Labour voters didn't vote for backdoor privatisation. They voted for insourcing. We're furious. 😤 👉 bit.ly/Why-PFI-Aban...

Why is it, that the BBC thinks that the Institute of Economic Affairs should be the go-to organisation to comment on the sugar tax to be applied to milk shakes? 🤷‍♂️ The IEA, a right-wing think-tank which actively hides who funds it? And the BBC insists it's politically independent! #bbcnews

The answer to all the media attempts to smear Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP Government and will not tell you about - excess deaths nearly twice as high in England and 20% higher in Wales t.co/vHHPbEUoY3 hidden on Page 45!

Norway has a population of 5.6 million Scotland has a population of 5.4 million Westminster tells you that you are too small and too stupid to make it on your own. (Maybe Westminster has a point about the stupid part as many Scots seem to believe them). See what an oil fund can do? #AreYouYesYet

Corporate funded think-tanks urge govt to cut benefits, pensions, schools meals, public spending; charge for seeing GPs. Oppose taxes on the rich. Support subsidies for auto, steel, film, shipbuilding, oil, gas, biomass, semiconductor, internet and other companies. It is class war.

STV/ITV looking pretty racist with the constant coverage of escaped prisoners, criminals and their nationality. Don't watch BBC but assume they follow the same line.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

It is outrageous that parliamentary authorities have rejected @declassifieduk.org’s application for a press pass. This is a flagrant attempt to suppress investigative journalism. I have tabled an EDM urging the authorities to reverse this decision. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

It seems remarkable, yet true, that so many people in Scotland are apparently still ignorant of the huge stripping of Scottish devolved powers by Westminster's Powergrab in 2018. Where have you *been*?

Another day. Another clutching of pearls hit piece. Today courtesy of the Times. I'm not sure if the Daily Mail or the Express are on the rota tomorrow? You know what to do: Join.greenparty.org.uk

I wrote this on Nathan Gill, Russian bribes, Reform and Farage nearly two weeks ago. Here it is again if you’re sick of the silence of the UK media www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

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?

This is more than scary. Starmer and his cronies are going full Trump and declaring protesting CITIZENS as terrorists. BBC News - Police make 335 arrests at pro-Palestinian protest in London www.bbc.com/news/article...

FIFA has decided to take no action against Israel. President says "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues." FIFA has and still bans Russia. FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.

Well thanks for emphasising the party you belong to, Mahmood, because without that, it would’ve been hard to distinguish you from the Tories or Reform. All seemingly competing to win the “Biggest Bastard to Immigrants” prize. You cannot win against Reform, but competing with them disgraces you.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Scotland is a renewable energy superpower - Saor Alba 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I see Your Party have had trouble sending the invites out! It's pathetic. 'It's my party and I'll cry if I want to'.

I'm a member of the SNP - but, I have to say @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a breath of fresh air. youtu.be/K0L36yVXy3E We need a leader like this to put some fire back into politics in Scotland.

The UK privatised all their Fossil Fuel, Power Plants and Electricity transmission. Norway still owns all of theirs. The price in the UK for 1 Kwh is 26.5p. Norway reduce their cost to 3p on Oct 1st. 9x cheaper, the ripoff is insane.

BBC: 'Israel has launched a major ground offensive in Gaza City'. From the information I can find, it looks more like aerial carpet bombing.

Keir Starmer called me and the Green Party "Plastic Progressives." My response:

The appointment of Mandelson in this Labour government was always going to be controversial. He can't possibly stay in post.

Genocide denial from UK Labour. One day, the perpetrators will stand trial for the war crimes Israel is committing. Those who support them today should stand alongside them on that day too. greens.scot/news/uk-poli...

This was Labour's biggest failing. The Tory appointed BBC goons should have been grabbed by their collars, thrown out the front door, with a size 12 boot kicked up their Tufton St backsides.

Mick Lynch "We will not allow the Right Wing to dominate our working class communities."

Why does ITV news and, I assume BBC is the same, give us sooooo much news from the US??? I'm pretty sure there's plenty news from the UK to provide.

That's the BBC News app uninstalled from my phone! Not interested in their constant promotion of a politician who is openly fascist.

WM constantly move the goal posts. SNP should bite back, by changing election rules. If you want to stand in a Scottish election, you need to be registered in Scotland. @johnswinney.bsky.social

The BBC news output needs shutdown right across the UK. If that's not possible then just shut down the whole rotten, fascist-supporting institution. It is not telling the news, it is actively 'programming' peoples' minds with its rancid output. *** THE BBC HAS TO BE STOPPED - SHUT IT DOWN ***

🚨 This morning we turned the street outside Labour Party Headquarters in London into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. Listen to @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social talking about what the Israeli army did to his neighourhood and family.

As demonstrated yesterday when his government’s authoritarian diktat resulted in 474 people being arrested, you can’t trust a word this man says. #SocialistSinday

Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper must really be proud of arresting an old woman - free speech at it's finest in Labour's Brexit Britain

Scotland doesn’t hate the UK. We just want out of the toxic group chat. We didn’t vote for Brexit. We didn’t vote for Tory rule. We’re done being ignored. Time to choose our own future. #ScottishIndependence #YesScotland #TimeForScotland

This is a PR stunt that lets Israel’s genocide continue. Meanwhile David Lammy won’t expel the Israeli ambassador, end all trade, implement a full arms embargo, stop surveillance flights or UK training of Israeli soldiers. Empty gestures fool no one. He belongs in The Hague.

Keir Starmer is appointing a former Sun editor to a top government comms role, while watering down the Hillsborough Law. Bootlicking the Murdoch press, betraying the people of Liverpool and insulting every campaigner for justice. Justice For The 97.

London's crime rate now is half of what it was in 1990 and nearly a quarter of 1975. But all Farage has is BS and lies.

This is every bit as sinister and dangerous as the worst anti-immigrant propaganda from the last Tory government. Starmer's Labour is a disgrace.

Labour are increasing your energy bills, after promising to cut them - to pay for a nuclear plant in England.

The business secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the racist protesters intimidating asylum seekers in Epping are "upset for legitimate reasons.” I don't remember any Labour frontbencher saying the same about people protesting the genocide in Gaza. On the contrary, they've criminalised peaceful dissent.

Steve Reed is yet another Labour liar. Labour talk down Scotland all of the time and will deploy lies to do so. It’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.thenational.scot/news/2533248...

UK rents rise £221 a month in three years. Wages squeezed, huge rise in cost of living due to profiteering. Poverty beckons. Queues at food banks lengthen. Large proportion of the population lacks spending power to rebuild economy. Can't rebuild economy without redistribution.

The proscription of Palestine Action is absurd in the face of this government’s straightforward collaboration with the genocide in Gaza. They are terrified of how many people are taking to the streets every week in opposition. This is exactly why we need to keep pushing.

Difficult to conceive of a more ill-judged decision then the one the Home Office took here. It is an affront to free speech of a kind which is really indistinguishable from what you'd see in a police state.

BBC New's Nick Johnson, "A large number of protestors have gathered here in parliament square in central London" "Many of them turning up with handwritten placards. You can see a police officer holding one" "It says: I oppose genocide I support Palestine Action"

Remember when we saw Russians being arrested for holding up blank pieces of paper... we're so close to that.
