Tonight the US struck Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran struck Kuwait. Kuwait activated air defenses against hostile missiles and drones. Both sides say the ceasefire is holding. A ceasefire where both sides are actively firing at each other is not a ceasefire. It is a war without an honest name.

I rarely comment on UEFA competitions, and it's even more rare for me to watch any. I won't be watching tonight, but I will make one comment... Aupa Rayo ❤️🤍⚡️

If you’re intrigued by Rayo Vallecano and other clubs with an anti-fascist ethos, then you might enjoy my book, The Defiant: A History of Football Against Fascism… #Rayo #UEFAConferenceLeague #LaLiga

The Scottish Parliament has just affirmed, by a clear majority, the right of people in Scotland to decide their constitutional future. This is democracy and it must be respected. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#Yes 73 out of 129 MSPs elected with independence front and foremost in their manifesto. If WM blocks this it wil show a complete lack of respect for Scottish voters and for democracy

Of course @greenparty.org.uk should stand in Makerfield. Telling people to vote for someone they don't like to try and stop someone they like even less is not democracy. The days of two party politics are long gone. We need electoral reform. The UK is not a democracy. 1/2

The current media fury, painting the SNP as the guilty party instead of the truth that it's the victim of a crime is about 3 things 1. They never got charges laid against Sturgeon 2. They didn't succeed in detroying the SNP & getting Sarwar as FM. 3. They didn't prevent an indy majority in Holyrood

Large demonstrations took place in Bilbao, in Spain’s Basque Country, today, as protesters condemned the Basque police’s treatment of flotilla activists upon their arrival at the airport on Saturday, 23 May.

Happy 60th birthday to the legend that is Eric Cantona

Too hot for this wee dog in the park today...

Braw day in Sunny Dundee

Happy 60th birthday to the legend that is Eric Cantona

What's this, Andy Burnham throwing people under the bus as soon as it's politically convenient to do so? If he's already changing his tune now, he'd be a total Starmer clone if he becomes PM. The idea he'd be any different to the rest of the ghouls at the top of the Labour Party was pure cope.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live: The Clash Stiff Little Fingers Bob Marley & the Wailers Slade The Specials Banda Bassotti The Adverts The Skatalites Sensational Alex Harvey Band Ian Dury & the Blockheads And many more...some good, some ok, some awful...

✅ Pro-independence majority ✅ Pro-Europe majority ✅ Pro-immigration majority The Scottish Parliament must now begin building the fairer, kinder, more welcoming country that people voted for.

Nice day in Sunny Dundee...

I love Dundee, and Dundonians, but there are some flagshagging arseholes here too...

“Never trust a Tory” Nigel Farage Oct 2025 - such a delicious own goal because in Reform👇🏼 Farage - ex Tory Tice - ex Tory Anderson - ex Tory Braverman - ex Tory Jenrick - ex Tory Kruger - ex Tory Rosindell - ex Tory Pochin - ex Tory Jenkyns - ex Tory Zahawi - ex Tory etc etc #ReformToriesRebranded

Four more ICC arrest warrants.

The Labour MPs resigning from front bench positions are not doing it on a matter of principle. They stuck by Starmer throughout his support for Israeli and US war crimes, so they obviously don't have any principles. They are doing it to try to protect their own careers

Today would have been Ian Dury's 84th birthday (born 12th May 1942) Fantastic wordsmith and lyricist youtube.com/watch?v=PPvR...

I'm not a fan of Barcelona or Lamine Yamal, but he definitely went up in my estimation at the weekend...

Streeting is like Starmer without the charisma.

Safe access zones were introduced because women and girls were being targeted while accessing lawful healthcare, often at deeply personal and vulnerable moments.

I’m not posting about the massive reform breakthrough that puts Farage on the doorstep of No. 10 in an unstoppable wave of support, as it didn't happen. This is a map in full of all the additional councils that Reform now run following their acquisition of 26% of the national vote share. #reform

L'Internazionale New EP from Banda Bassotti Out today orcd.co/linternazion...

The final numbers: Pro-independence - 73 Unionist - 56 Pro-independence majority - 17 SNP lead over 2nd place - 41 Also, don't be taken in by media talk of a "Reform surge". The right wing parties, ie Tory/Reform, have 2 fewer seats than the Tories had in 2021.

There are now more transgender MSPs now than there are Joanna Cherrys, a win for us all

The SNP has won a Scottish election for a historic 5th consecutive time. Can the unionist parties please now shut the fuck up with their "voters are fed up with the SNP" bullshit, and accept that we have yet again elected a majority of pro-independence MSPs

There's just under 2 hours left. If you haven't voted yet go and do it now.

Scotland needs out of this corrupt and crumbling "union" Constituency: vote @snp.org Regional List: vote @scottishgreens.org

I see the Twat In The Hat has done a complete u-turn on Scottish independence. I'm still not voting for them on the list, or for their terf candidate in the constituency. As for Galloway always standing on the side of workers, he didn't when he voted Tory 5 years ago. Don't trust him...

There’s no specific date for this one, but *during* May 1961 Italian artist Piero Manzoni shat in some tins, so I think we can all agree that – precise or otherwise – this is a 65th anniversary that simply cannot go unmarked 🧵

It is very strange that people call me a fascist for saying generative AI is bad and I don't use it. My wife is a journalist in an industry where AI is replacing people. She's a BLACK TRANS INTERSEX journalist. Who do you think they'll replace with a robot first?

Here we go again. Third time in under 4 1/2 years I'm in hospital for surgery (all unrelated). This time it's my hand. The joys of getting old 🙄

Saw this on FB memories today. 3 years ago I left a Rothes shirt at the Maradona shrine in Napoli. The North East Scotland newspaper The Northern Scot even wrote a nice article about it... Rothes Football Club shirt laid at Naples shrine to Diego Maradona share.google/flViwCBLBxRV...

On the road to Rothes for the last game of the season. The big question is can we get only our second league win of the season and take our points total into double figures? 🤔

On this day 49 years ago, 8th April 1977 (49 years! 😳 ), The Clash released their first album. "All the power's in the hands Of people rich enough to buy it While we walk the street Too chicken to even try it" youtu.be/IvG3is7Bm1w?...
