Happy Christmas/ Nadolig llawen blueskyers! Have a lovely time, however you do it. Peace, love and Scarlets xx

I have been married for 30 years, but tonight my heart belongs to Gareth Davies.

Reform UK is about to buy its way into the Scottish Parliament thanks to the cash it’s given by a small number of extremely rich donors, writes Paul Kavanagh ✍️ 🔗 www.thenational.scot/politi...

Oh, Ospreys pals. I'm so sorry.

This is what would happen if SNP votes switch their second vote to the Scottish Greens:

“We live not in a post-Holocaust world of ‘Never Again,’ but in the same world that led to the Holocaust, a world of ‘Again and Again’” — Dr. Raz Segal, scholar of genocide studies

“He’s a great player, Dupont, but can he do it on a wet Saturday night at Scotstoun?”

* screams into the void *

See Will and Sonya waving the Scarlets flag has made me quite tearful.

Come on, Scarlets! One more for the bonus!

Wee Sam Costello ❤️

We may be going down, but we are going down swinging. Mon Scarlets!

Sam Costello speaks for me. I agree with every 'fuck sake mun' uttered as he came off and if he gets fined for insubordination, I'll pay it for him. With him and Cawdor, we win that.

Zebo stealing a wage, yet again.

It's a world where people who are trying to save children are sanctioned or labelled as figures of hate by the people maiming and murdering children, so of course a bunch of football men will give a rapist, murdering, war criminal bastert a peace prize. Fuck the patriarchy.

Corrupt leader of corrupt organization that has nothing to do with peace makes up fake prize to suck up to corrupt narcissist and fascist after he unsuccessfully and ridiculously tried to coerce the real peace prize people to give him the real prize he could never, ever win. Pathetic all around.

Honestly, every left-wing group should create the tackiest cheapest ugliest trophy they can imagine and make a big show of presenting it to Trump with some obnoxious name like the Greenpeace Award for Big Beautiful Excellence in Body Odors or the ACLU Trophy for Presidential Strongly Napping.

Sarwar will do what his handlers tell him Laura. Just a shame he doesn't have any intention of improving the lot of everyday Scots.

David Lammy is the third senior Labour Gov figure to call the Scottish Government a national security risk this week Given this government isn't prepared to say this about China .... this is pretty dreadful. What happened to the "family of nations"? www.thenational.scot/news/2559871...

Mr K at the weekend: Beirne got a red card. Me: no he didnt. He wouldn't. Nicest man in rugby. Mr K: well he did, and it was definitely a red. Me: (who hasn't even seen the incident) Nope. Me, today : AH TELT YE

The fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no fall at all. It comes ELEVEN years too late and has only happened as a damage limitation exercise. We need to start having a grown up conversation about monarchy... and I'm starting it here. Me @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/cast-into-th...

He is named in sworn testimony in the US but the MET dont think his collusion in trafficking a young girl for sex is worthy of investigation. youtu.be/ZRHW9TNTOyQ?...

Greedy sausage fingered parasite

I want to see 4 regions…..but if one is to go….

Effortlessly suggesting that everybody who isn’t spam coloured is a foreigner. Bravo.

Starmer is doing the opposite. Shockingly, he has been named by Francesca Albanese as personally complicit in the genocide as part of a wider condemnation of the role of the UK Government. Even worse, none of our media outlets has shown any interest in this. www.thenational.scot/news/2557097...

"Prince Andrew was on Epstein's island. He was in the Manhattan townhouse. He was on the Jets," says the co-author of Virginia Giuffre's biography. "He absolutely saw what was going on" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/he-w...

An elected MP, Reform’s Sarah Pochin says there are too many Black and Asian people on TV - so plain racism - and the coverage of it is buried. Silence and ignorance is complicity, causing lasting damage. When we see racism it’s what we do next, individually and collectively, that matters.

It seems it’s only a matter of time for Scotland to become independent.

SCAAARLEEEETS Yma o hyd, mother fuckers. Bring it.

There's a word for this, and it ain't bribery. Here we have a former UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform official not being a British patriot after all (gasp!) but a paid Kremlin stooge. The only difference between this guy and his erstwhile cronies is he's been caught.

The whole Farage 'house in Clacton' story has shocked me. I had no idea the frog faced wee fuck had a partner.

My heart is ROASTED, Wales.

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

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.

Was being jiggled around on the clockwork orange when a sign suddenly lit up saying “You can follow us on” followed by a great big, black “X”. I was just thinking that I could be on the set of some dystopian movie, then I realised that of course we all are.

Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.

Once again watching England with an archly raised brow from Scotland; we've had 15 years of scorn heaped on Independence supporters up here for being narrow, flag-obsessed nationalists, and now the whole UK Cabinet is lying about having loads of flags they shag all the time, mortifying behaviour

I know this is only the latest betrayal of LGBTQ+ people, after a very long list of betrayals. But surely nobody can consider Labour a party of equality and human rights after this.

Wait for the spike in champagne sales

A 800% spike in pizza orders near the Pentagon and other key US government sites has fuelled rumours over the condition of president Donald Trump

In a similar vein, whenever I see netanyahu I wish Otis Redding could come back to record "sitting in the dock at the Hague"

Wait, what?

UN demands justice over Israeli double strike on Gaza hospital

The mainstream media, and radio phone-ins never seem to get bored of the same old from our political bigots, the way they do about genocidal despots.

This is the first article in our series telling positive stories of refugees in Scotland. Meet Motaz Amer. His family fled war in Yemen when he was 9. 10 years later he is advising the Scottish Government, supporting its refugee integration strategy. www.thenational.scot/news/2540848...
