I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

Hadush Kebatu arrested after mistake by prison staff. Human error. That's the story, however Sky News managing to create wall to wall coverage, with the narrative of the government failing and Broken Britain etc. Wonder if they'll pick up on him not wearing a poppy.

It’s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

To be fair, that's 29 more than I expected.

Tomorrow's front page 📰 1000 GB Energy jobs in Scotland? Right now there are 29

Obedient media still spinning the narrative that Kimmel disrespected Charlie Kirk, despite the evidence.

Maybe Mandelson can't be banned from the House of Lords but removal of the Labour whip would is surely essential. Otherwise Starmer is continuing to look weak.

Big Gaza event on October 15, at The Stand in Glasgow. Peter Oborne on his new book Complicit, about UK complicity in Israel's destruction of Gaza. All proceeds going to Medical Aid for Palestinians. @ScotNational www.thestand.co.uk/performance/...

The reason why electricity is not dirt cheap in Scotland is simply industry would move north.

I've just been reminded of 2 pictures I posted on Facebook in 2014. 11 years on and no improvement in the situation.

Reform launch. No idea who made this, but genius.

Corbyn and Sultana's new socialist party seems uncertain about its view on Scottish independence. However, air it is to be seen as a modern, democratic socialist party it *must* at least support the principle of Scotland's right to choose. Otherwise it's just another anti-democratic unionist party.

You know you are doing something right when they go for you.

Naked propaganda is an insult to the listener’s intelligence. But,then again, Hegseth is an insult to the US military so who’s surprised?

I was at the All Day Punk gig at Bellahouston Park yesterday. The young guy in front of me had an interesting hair style. Gave me "There's Something About Mary" vibes 😬😬

Why couldn't the Scottish Government save Grangemouth? Energy is reserved to Westminster. Why can't Scotland welcome more care workers from overseas? Immigration is reserved to Westminster. Why can't the Scottish Government tackle drug addiction better? Drug laws are reserved to Westminster.

...meanwhile, in Gaza.

The Rise and Fall of Michelle Mone. Quite an interesting documentary. However, she hasn't really fallen far enough yet.

"Can I now suggest the constituency of Hamilton, Stonehouse & Larkhall is rewarded with fees for prescriptions, higher education, school meals, two child benefits reinforcement, bedroom tax and higher council tax bills so they can receive all these benefits they've just voted for."

Oh look. It seems you can after all decide to leave an organisation and then rejoin after you realise you made a terrible mistake. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Privately-educated millionaire and ex-City commodities trader is “a tribune for the working class”? Yeah, right 😏 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Suppose the unthinkable happens, the country loses its mind and puts #Farage in charge as PM. The way his Ltd company is set up no one can challenge him. He is the party. So if he is as feckless as Liz Truss (or worse) his party couldn't get rid of him and nor could we. We'd elect a dictator

Good to see #bbclaurak has got Reform MP Richard Tice on this morning. I’m fed up of seeing her interview all those LibDem and Green MPs.

Man of the people? The millionaire, right-wing, private schooled, city banker, who claims an EU parliament pension and pays his taxes in Belgium? You've been had by this grifter. Wake up and smell the Rubles!

Only the SNP and Scottish Greens are registered in Scotland. The other parties are branch offices except Reform which isn’t even a political party. Literally! It’s a company. Come on Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Be wise

Media - ‘we are in no way exaggerating Farage and Reform’s popularity, we just keep platforming them endlessly because the public like them’. The polls -

Surely not the same Bob Jenrick that was highlighting fare dodgers on the London Underground the other day.

My wife was in Glasgow today and encountered an ugly bunch of BritNats and Reform supporters outside Buchanan Galleries. Counter demonstrators were out in force, making their feelings known

I didn't realise the odious Aaron Banks was a Reform candidate for mayor in England. All the money he has just wasn't enough to convince the people of the West of England that he isn't a twat.

America, this is how it's done. The French far right political fraudster Marine le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement by a court and disqualified from holding public office. The French aren't afraid of holding power to account. Former President Sarkozy was found guilty of corruption in 2021

Sky News reporting a 'catastrophic end' to Marine Le Pen's political career. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Late to the party again, but spent part of the morning listening to Jimmy the Giant on YouTube. Interesting content.

Vance's forthcoming trip to Greenland looks like spying to me. Hope the authorities treat him accordingly

#YouYesNow #IndyClan? It's TIME for #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just got a post from this group of cranks on Facebook timeline. The algorithm is obviously broken 🙄

I had to check, but then realised it makes perfect sense.

The reason the UK Labour government is cutting support for the sick and disabled is because, like the Tories before them, they know it’s easier for them to hound the poor and ill than it is to properly tax the rich. Cowards the lot of them. #Indyclan #Austerity #Starmer #AnasSarwar

Morning, mourning. Good to see that political leviathan, Kuenssberg has allowed Tice onto her show this morning to enable him to calm the waters concerning the recent Reform fallout. Farage can always rely on the BBC to get him out a hole.

Imagine being a federal worker and asked what you’ve done this week by an unelected billionaire nepo baby whose dad owned a fucking emerald mine and whose only achievement is taking credit for other peoples work, as the dept which used to handle your workers rights is dismantled by him.

Thought he'd been hacked, but no, Stu there, seemingly happy to open the door to fascism. What a difference 11 years makes.

SENIOR Sinn Fein leaders have announced they will boycott the White House’s traditional St Patrick’s Day celebrations in protest over Donald Trump

They still walk amongst us

Farage saying Trump should not be taken literally over his ridiculous comments around Ukraine 🙄 How should he be taken, Nigel? Taken into custody, I would suggest. Unfortunately that ship has sailed. For the time being.

Many kings have come to a sticky end

Maggie stripped Scotland of Steel making in Motherwell. The Tory Brexit stripped Scotland of its Fishing Industry. Now Labour have stripped Scotland of its only Petrochemical Plant. Surely it’s time to Save Scottish jobs and VOTE for Scottish Independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Or choose not to vote.

We in the west feel most secure, right up until the day we don't feel secure anymore. When we realise we haven't been living in a post war period, but an inter-war one.
