Farage trying to avoid scrutiny over £5m gift from crypto billionaire, Labour says

I was oddly despondent last night, convinced the worst would happen, but I am much happier now. Scotland will have another pro-independence majority in Holyrood and the SNP have secured a historic fifth victory despite everything the media has thrown at it.

Anas Sarwar up until yesterday. This election isn't about Starmer, it's about casting judgement on the SNP and making me first minister. Anas Sarwar today - it's all Starmer's fault.

Nigel Farage pulls out of BBC interview Farage, man of the people, straight talker and a huge fan of asking the ‘hard questions’ of others, has pulled out of an interview on BBC northeastbylines.co.uk/letters/nige...

I'm no polling expert but this new MRP poll of Holyrood voting intention looks like bollocks. There is no planet on which Strathkelvin and Bearsden is a contest between Reform and the Lib Dems. This poll also has the Greens standing in every constituency. www.thenational.scot/news/2602325...

All right everyone- save this quickly before they take it down! Scotland’s contribution to the U.K. exchequer is £204bn - from the U.K. government’s Scotland office! We are being robbed!

Relieved that no serious injuries have been reported after the devastating fire in Glasgow. My thanks to the emergency services and partners for their hard work overnight. We will support Glasgow’s recovery and work to get the city centre up and running as quickly as possible.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Quite rightly, Scotland's NHS has not given Palantir access to our records. England's Wes Streeting, however, has said he will 'hold the door open' to privatising England's NHS. Palantir's access to England's NHS records is a very slippery slope.

I'm not a fan of Andy Burnham, but with Starmer loyalists blocking him from standing in the Gorton & Denton byelection, the Labour party is now unsalveageble for those on the left and its transition to a centre-right party is complete. Starmer & McSweeney are handing the UK over to the right.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Man of the People: Reform leader said he went to Davos to stick it to the elites; turns out he was there on behalf of an Iranian billionaire www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Top two articles are about ICE abducting a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Below that, news about a historically large protest and general strike. Then articles detailing how ICE lies about their actions and how the White House makes/publishes fake images about the anti-ICE protests.

The Nobel Foundation makes yet another statement:

It’s not for Keir Starmer, or whoever replaces him, to deny Scotland’s democratic right. Scotland’s future is up to people in Scotland - and if the SNP win in May, we must have that choice. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Jenrick is the 15th former Tory MP to defect to Reform. You have to laugh at Tory defectors to Reform claiming that Britain is 'broken'. They're the ones who broke it, they're like arsonists selling fire insurance.

Aberdeenshire SNP councillors tried to keep grit bins but were outvoted by Unionist councillors keen to cut costs based on assuming ‘mild winter scenario’ and who allowed bin removal even DURING winter to endanger pensioners talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/13/a...

Protesters have gathered outside the US consulate in Edinburgh over the country's attack on Venezuela and the abduction of the country's president Nicolas Maduro 👇

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Trump just said “We’re going to do something with Greenland whether they like it or not”

A reminder after seeing what has happened in the USA that Nigel Farage constantly says that the Police should carry guns and that handguns should be unbanned. He wants this type of terror on British streets.

COLD BLOODED MURDER: Here is a frame by frame account of a sadistic ICE Nazi who was looking for an excuse to murder Renee Nicole Good. Good was a legal observer who had been monitoring the Nazis in Minneapolis. 😳👇

If Labour thinks the answer to its unpopularity is to replace Starmer with Wes Streeting, a health secretary bought and paid for by the private health lobby, the party has well and truly lost the plot and deserves to be wiped out in May's elections. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2574667...

Joint European statement on Greenland. They moved quickly after Miller’s comments about annexation last night.

The utter contempt Westminster colonialist have for Scotland & wakes⬇️ Greenland a population of 57,000 should decide its future, whilst Scotland & wales historical countries of millions are denied a democratic vote.
