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

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 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!

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.

The PIP and UC bill is an attack on disabled people. I will be voting against the bill today to make clear disabled people matter and that I recognise the additional costs of navigating a world built for neurotypical, healthy people.

If and when arrests begin, let the Prime Minister's words in 2003 be a major plank of the defence ...

“What frightens the British Establishment most is the prospect of an independent, progressive, prosperous Scotland being witnessed by the English electorate.”

Let's hear it on prime time news? NO!! 🤷 just keeping the Scotland 💩 SNP 💩 for that

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.
