Just don't mention the school that Israel hit with a missile, killing scores of girls. BBC News - Luxury Dubai hotel hit as Iran launches retaliatory strikes across region www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just to point out that the two councils in Scotland proposing the largest increases in Council Tax at 10%, Aberdeenshire and Moray, are both Conservative controlled. Cynical increases or just bad financial management?

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

💧 Scottish households will pay £107 less a year for water than those in England in 2026/27. Public ownership means Scotland has the cheapest water bills in the UK – lower bills, better value, and water run for people, not profit.

When interest rates are so high that the chances of repaying a loan are slim, that's surely predatory lending or acting like loan sharks: BBC News - Rachel Reeves defends 'fair and reasonable' student loans system - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reminder that just a month ago the Swiss Government rejected using Palantir in any role in Switzerland's Government. Because they posed a 'catastrophic' threat.

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. Today that deal has been broken by the USA. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

UN experts urge UK “to immediately guarantee appropriate healthcare for all hunger strikers, and engage in meaningful dialogue and action to address not only the claims of the protestors, but also … an end to the repression of Palestine activism.” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

Why not?

This is so desperately needed in Scotland and throughout the UK. www.politico.eu/article/brus...

Let me explain the problem so you understand why your taxes are so high, your wages so low and your services so bad. In the 1970's about 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government to fund services and cut taxes. Now due to Privatisation it's about 5

The Palestine hunger strikers are going to die if there is no intervention from this Labour government. Keir Starmer and David Lammy, blood will be on your hands.

"Don't mix politics with music!!!" say the people about a show filled with flags that correctly banned Russia almost immediately after its invasion of Ukraine but still allows a genocidal state to whitewash its crimes against humanity

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*?

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.

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 ***
