The front cover of the Scottish daily newspaper, The National, today. I wish that all UK dailies would follow suit. #illegalwar #iran #usroguestate #israelroguestate

With almost every passing hour Tony Blair’s calls for U.K. - and Starmer - to fully commit to US and Israel’s war in Iran looks more deranged

145 years ago today, Andrew Watson became the first black person to play international football, captaining Scotland to a 6-1 win over England.

13 March 1996. And immediately the gun laws were changed. It never happened again. Are you listening America? Of course you’re not! Guns are more important than children, right? #history #scotland

Who needs Churchill or a bloody beaver on a crisp £5 note?😤 I have been designing some alternatives which I think you’ll agree are infinitely more superior. 👍

Conversation in The Pushover on Channel 4 Walter Presents is glacial. And the looks between characters ... oh my.

That was a waste of time - Professor Jane Green on #bbcr4today discussing 16/17 year olds voting. If only she knew anything about it already operating in Scotland but clearly didn't. Here there's evidence of trends affecting this group. Should have asked Prof John Curtice.

Trump goes full racist and depicts the Obamas as apes There is no pretence with Donald Trump; he is now as openly racist as a person can be, and his supporters need to own that www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Keir Starmer's Labour Party has nothing but contempt for Scotland and Scottish culture.

Dear Scotland "O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae mony a blunder free us, An' foolish notion:" So there you are Unionists in all its patronising pomp. What you think of and associate Scotland. archive.ph/N4tQB

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

David Wallace Lockhart has told listeners to Radio Scotland that 55% of workers in Scotland who earn less than £35,000 will pay less tax than UK counterparts. This is not correct. It's 55% of *all* workers in Scotland. Another broadcast correction needed. @angusrobertson.bsky.social

Anas Sarwar and Labour have been caught making up a quote and attributing it to a person who did not give their permission on one of their campaign leaflets. Extraordinary to not get the basics right. hellorayo.co.uk/clyde/local/...

Anas Sarwar is under pressure to 'stand up publicly and say sorry' after Scottish Labour invented a quote from a leading maternity campaigner and posted it to thousands of Scots households

Good to hear rebirth of In Our Time @BBCRadio4 with Misha Glenny but disappointing in discussion of work of the son of a Scot with a Scottish name, John Stuart Mill, has his work described only in terms of England. Melvin Bragg understood UK/Scotland/England/Wales/NI.
