It’s the same in England! Luckily, the #Scots have a superior education system. Education is one of the few powers @parliament.scot controls, and when we have the power to decide, the difference is clear. #ScottishIndependence #BothVotesSNP #endlondonrule

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Fresh off the podcast press (?), @janis-w.bsky.social and @cllrgrahamc.bsky.social with some HOPE!

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds open.substack.com/pub/kellnerp...

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist, he was a reliable pro-Putin talking head who repeatedly spread disinformation about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In my latest Substack piece, I explain why his white nationalism was so useful for Russian propaganda. #ukrainianview

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist. He was one of the most anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian voices in MAGA. He propagandised xenophobia about the border to justify withdrawing military support for Ukraine. 👇🏾 I have all of the receipts here 👇🏾#ukrainianview

Scotland’s NOT as a ‘colony’ - ahistorical & insults folks from Scotland’s colonies.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

The SNP now projected to win an outright majority in next year’s Holyrood election. Labour collapse as hard line unionists migrate to Reform. Tories reduced to a rump. Graphics: @LeftieStats polling: @Moreincommon_

The Scotch Whisky Association was founded in LONDON, over 100 years ago. Scotch whisky has been a Westminster cashcow, for 200 YEARS! Duty won't EVER drop, until Scotland is Independent. Wake up! We need to rid Scotland of Tories and lobbyists, there's a lot of greedy arses, in Scotch!

🎺🎺We are proud to announce that the new @greenparty.org.uk leader, @zackpolanski.bsky.social will be joining our protest against Donald Trump on September 17😎😎

Hundreds of workers at Edinburgh Airport are to be balloted over strike action amid an ongoing pay dispute

Time to unban Palestine Action now. Sadly today’s Judge didn’t grant temporary halt to the proscription meaning activists will be arrested for holding PA signs. As Amnesty, Greenpeace, the UN’s Volker Turk all agree: It’s anti democratic & shuts down free speech. www.thenational.scot/news/2535297...

Will Scotland have a wall at the border if they leave? Only if it's made of deep-fried Mars bars and sarcasm.

And Cuomo thinks that threat will put NYC voters off? Few thousand more votes for Zohran then !

Absolutely love this 🤣🤣🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

High water bills, filthy rivers, now drought. England’s water crisis created by privatisation. 1989 - 2023: No shareholder investment. Investment funded by customers. 19% of water lost to leaks. £82.4bn cash extracted. Water bills up 360%. Govt opposes public ownership. Looting continues.

Genius! Bravo Scotland!
