NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

"Middle powers must act together because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu." A must read. Introducing the new leader of the free world. #MarkCarney #Canada #NewEra

Looking back across the Atlantic to my former home fills me with sorrow, anger, fear for my friends, and dread knowing we are a hair's breadth away from the same fate here.

A few years ago some Scots went for a walk.. "Fantastic book. I felt I was walking by their side. Thank you for doing this and allowing us to experience the walk in this way." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A great read of ordinary people going on a 500+ mile adventure to promote the cause of Scotland's independence."⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.

One of the general problems in Europe is that the further away you get from the Eastern Flank, the less important the general public thinks it is. Greenland "seems" closer. The average person in Paris thinks that is more important than Estonia. But Putin isn't coming into Europe through Greenland...

The line that most struck a chord? "But that was 70 years ago", "No, it was yesterday, it will always be yesterday"

Where's #SpittingImage when you need them?

A free NHS Scotland, or a United Kingdom. Choose one, because you can't have both (regardless of who's in charge in Westminster). #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"London’s homicide rate is lower than New York, Berlin, Brussels, Milan, Toronto and Paris, five times lower than the rate in LA, and almost 12 times lower than the rate in Chicago. " Do not believe the lies of those peddling misinformation for their own political gain. https://bit.ly/4qjSIac

Arrest and charge Steve Groves for the MURDER of Renee Nicole Good! #FuckIce

He's halfway across Wisconsin by now, I'm sure, but this is the murderer.

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Everyone, please please please get out and vote this year for your local SNP candidate in the purple paper and Green in the orange paper. We need a MASSIVE pro indy turnout to block the relentless rise of dark money backed Reform.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

🚨 More new polling, as a little Christmas/Hogmanay treat 🚨 Independence support is six points ahead as we go into 2026. Meanwhile, Yes support spikes when people are asked to consider the question in the context of a Reform government. www.thenational.scot/news/2573038...

What can we say? Scum always floats

THE SNP have slammed Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar for his silence on Westminster’s “nuclear tax”, which could see Scottish households paying out a total of £300 million over the next decade to fund nuclear projects in England. 👇 www.thenational.scot/news/2572822...

The UK has been following the same playbook; starting with the widespread adoption of neoliberal economics with Thatcher/Reagan. Look where the US is now, then look at us!

Just got my Reform UK literature through the door in Scotland. Removed my name and used their envelope to post it back to them. Don't want their hard won campaign donations going to waste now do we? #ReformUK #Farage #FightFacism #Russia

"Process" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The cheek of it!

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates). She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger. She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked. Horrible.

Scots considering voting for the Fuhrage party at HR 26 need to know they'd be voting to make themselves poorer, making Scotland poorer and for racism and intolerance to run rampant. #RacistReform #VoteForScotland

During indyref the No campaign had *2x* the funds of Yes campaign. Now Reform UK has over £10m donations to buy the 2026 Scottish and Welsh elections with, and the next UK one too. Meanwhile the Scotland and Wales-based parties have to rely on small donations from the public. UK politics is broken.

Whats the difference between SNP 1&2 and SNP 1 Scottish Greens 2?

“Research [indicates] the safest place by far to bury high-level nuclear waste is in the deep clay beds of… South-East [England] around London”.

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

To all pro-Indy folk, I think this is worth reposting multiple times. It’s not disloyal to vote SNP 1 & Green 2, as the formula penalises parties who have more constituency MSPs. Based on the table below, if Green gets those list votes, they gain 22 list MSPs! #Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #IndyRef2 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #YouYesYet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion. I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans. 🧵 Long thread.

A slow month for the quota?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

A timeline of Earth’s average temperature since the last ice age. Spoiler alert: It’s definitely getting warmer. And it’s happening increasingly, scarily fast. xkcd.com/1732/

🔴There's been a lot of coverage about David Lammy’s cuts to jury trials but relatively little - nothing! - on his plans to scrap the automatic right to appeal so I took a look for @bylinetimes.bsky.social. bylinetimes.com/2025/12/03/d...

“For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war … to save free Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine is the only country that is fighting this war, and we are still discussing should we include them or not.” - Garry Kasparov

Kasparov nails it: Western failure to confront russia is the biggest security risk we face. Ukraine is buying us time, and we’re wasting it.
