Made the mistake of watching this. Wee Connor says it "raises questions about whether Scotland has the proper infrastructure....." Using a tragedy for Glasgow to put the boot in. Fuck Sky news.sky.com/video/on-the...

As Israel slaughters hundreds of people in Lebanon and Iran and forces hundreds of thousands to flee their homes in terror, & while it continues its genocide in Gaza, Yolande Knell reports on the disruption to the daily lives of Israelis.

Agreed, while the establishment whine on about "deregulation" this is what happens. See also Grenfell.

I was once a sales manager and was part of an all male sales team. Beyond toxic competition and misogyny, I only lasted 18 months. There was a company wide drive to recruit more women at one point that was met with scorn , my own boss told me "women can't work in sales". Horrible time

Not in the least bit surprising but there it is in black and white from Starmer Labour hate devolution and are actively undermining the governments of the devolved nations. We elected our governments democratically, Scottish & Welsh people being used as political pawns. Disgusting

Starmer increased our drug prices off the back of this. He's saying out loud quite literally that you can't have low prices for drugs because .... profit. His audience lapping it up. I rely on drugs for my bipolar and the UK government make me feel LESS safe. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

🤷🏻🇺🇸🇫🇷 I don’t know why… but Trump decides to mock Macron again…

Nigel Farage spent the weekend having dinner with a suspected paedophile, a sex offender, criminal and an adjudicated rapist.

The faith financial markets have in Trump is proof that wealthy people are not actually smarter than the average Joe.

Labour and Tory parties are certainly full of them given recent headlines. Pam Duncan Glancy is friends with a peadophile yet remains an MP, and Labour did fuck all about it until it blew up down south . It's beyond words

Could swear this has already happened about three times.

Both BBC and Sky doing reports on this with actual pics of a Tomahawk missile used ONLY by the USA. Both claiming there was an Iranian base next to it and that was the target. Both failing to say out loud that the good ol US of A is a terrorist state and responsible for bombing a school. #fucktrump

Former Rangers season ticket holder here, and the exact reason I left it. I couldn't bring my kids up singing that bile the old firm spew. I go to Killie matches with my daughter now and it's absolutely lovely compared to Ibrox & parkhead.

Better Together pish from 2014. Nothing is faster, better, safer or indeed changed. I don't feel safe in the privatised UK. Sure could use a place like Grangemouth these days eh? Vote for independence in May, lives depend on it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thought I'd catch up with the "news". You'd think Iran attacked Israel/US if you weren't informed, it's so slanted in Israel's favour I'd class it as propaganda. Whilst the news ticker reports 2 medics killed by Israeli strikes without irony Sky & BBC indistinguishable in their reporting. Madness

during the oil/gas crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraime it was striking how some right-wingers tried to gaslight the public into believing the *biggest* problem with their soaring bills (at the time) was green levies rather than the oil/gas price going through the roof

And we wonder why fuck all works anymore. Systematic rinsing of the poor since Thatcher. Billionaires shouldn't exist , tax them out of existence and we might start getting somewhere. Then eat them

I vividly remember Israel bombing a school in Gaza and thinking "that'll be the end of it". I assumed the world had some sort of moral compass. But here we go again. The last few years have revealed our political class to be anti human monsters. Twas always the case I suppose

The Welsh Labour Govt is planning to include glass in its deposit return scheme. Yes, the same glass the UK Govt vetoed from the Scottish deposit return scheme using the UK Internal Market Act. How is it that Wales is allowed to include glass but not Scotland?

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Israeli forces launching massive airstrikes in southern Beirut only hours after issuing an evacuation order for the over 500,000 people living there displays an utter disregard for civilian lives. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

By contrast Nicola Sturgeon is held 100% responsible for her husband's alleged actions. Not the case when it's Labour. Reid is bought and paid for by various interests, a detestable politician

Last week, UK lobbying regulator closed investigation into ex Tory MP Ben Howlett We offered Howlett money to work for a fake Chinese investor. He introduced us to a dozen Labour MPs Regulator didn't even speak to us. Our system is broken New, by me: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/we-paid-an...

Greens surge, Labour continues to fall. The crossover point is coming 💚🥀 Join our movement today & make it happen: members.greens.scot/join/standar...

River Tummel last Friday! Pure chill 😎

Only one thing for it. Get independence to abolish the Scotland Office! www.thenational.scot/news/2590115...

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war. Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war. The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons" When's the vote, Keir?

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Lk to @zackpolanski.bsky.social "are you glad to have George Galloway on your side?" ..... That's a literal Labour attack line from the Gorton & Denton by- election. (He answered NO by the way). BBC representing the govt as always

What in the living fuck? Does Iran not have the "right to defend itself"??? Trump has broken US law never mind international law. It's all a charade

It's actually LOLl worthy watching the "journalists" jolt when their questions are shown up for the shite that they are. Simply not used to dealing with straightforward folk and it shows.

Where have I heard that line of defence before? 🤔🤔🤔

From The Archives:

Nigel Farage, Lord Haw Haw, Oswald Mosley, Unity Mitford.....your boy took a helluva beating.

It's absolutely ridiculous. We get charged more for parcel deliveries because we're apparently 'far away' from them. Yet it's also us who get lumped with being charged more to deliver our electricity to them because *they're* far away. Make it make sense.. www.thenational.scot/news/2589025...

If ever there was an argument for Scottish independence from this archaic system here it is

Iceland's Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir explains why Iceland want to join the European Union: "Iceland has a lot to bring to the European Union" "We've developed our resources in a positive way" "We have a good welfare system" "We have solid values" "And we have respect for one another"

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform? I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

How very Farage of them. It's almost like they're representing the same people/cooperations

Fuck it! Ooooohhhh Jeerrremmmy Coooooorbbbyynn He's entirely correct

Independence has never been more vital for Scotland. Scottish Greens have a plan to build a positive case for putting Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands.

The Greens aren’t ’hard left’ or ‘far left’ they’re just left in a nation that’s dominated by rightwing media and rightwing politics

Happy Seventh Birthday to Nigel Slater not being a fucking travel agent.

A cheeky wee price cut just as the weather turns, how much will it go up by (again) as we approach next winter? Charlatans

BBC could edit out a couple of minutes of a pro Palestine speech, but not this. I don't have Tourrettes but I do suffer from verbal tics.I don't know how John Davidson has the strength to even attend these functions.BBC are an absolute disgrace, what an opportunity to highlight the condition missed

They're throwing everything at the Greens, "antisemitism" (with a Jewish leader), "Muslim hatred" etc. what Labour won't do is explain how their own policies will improve lives, or give voters ANYTHING positive to chew on. A party devoid of ideas (and humanity it seems). Same in Scotland

Never has an image been so accurate. Even if you're an uneducated, white, aged old has-been who has a desperate need to blame others for your inadequacies...just don't vote Reform (originally posted by @gammonmag.bsky.social)
