It's time to evict Trump's troops from Scotland. The US under Trump is increasingly becoming a rogue state, from invading Venezuela to threatening Greenland. Scotland must not be complicit in his crimes. 👉Take action - greens.scot/TrumpsTroopsOut

The US military is regularly using publicly-owned Scottish infrastructure to conduct operations, including threats against our neighbours in Greenland. We urge MSPs of all parties to back our motion to end US military operations and evict Trump's troops. news.stv.tv/scotland/gre...

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Peter Mandelson's official role in Gordon Brown's government was actually not that far away from his unauthorised dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. This week's column digs up some inconvenient truths and suggests the problem is much deeper than we're told. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

10. There’s much more, but I’ll leave it there, in the hope that maybe you can begin to understand that Starmer’s detractors aren’t just the bitter, never-satisfied cynics and saboteurs of your imagination, but might actually have a point. Thank you.

9. B. Does it give business lobbyists what they want? To just as great an extent as the Tories, this government has allowed corporate lobbyists to shape its agenda and shut down competing options. When you see the whole picture, it’s breath-taking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

8. Perhaps above all, it’s the way policy is decided. There seem to be two main determinants. A. Will this stick it to the Labour left? The whole country must suffer for Starmer’s factional war. Good, progressive policies are blocked or delayed because they would look like a concession.

7. The failure to change our disastrous electoral system, which might gift the UK to Reform on a small share of the vote, can, I feel, be understood as a matter of putting party over country and faction over party. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

6. Its misallocation of resources on climate has also been deeply shocking. It is sluicing public money into Carbon Capture and Storage not because it works (it doesn’t) but because it’s a finacial lifeline for the fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

5. For me, a massive frustration has been the government’s war on nature: falsely pitching wildlife against human welfare, tearing down essential protections for the tiny scraps of ecosystem that remain here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

4. Its repeated assaults on benefits - first resisting, beyond all reason, its backbenchers’ demands to end the Tories' vicious two-child benefit cap, before finally relenting, then seeking to throw people with disabilities into the ditch - has been grim beyond belief.

3. Then there’s the government’s parroting of Reform UK lines on immigration and small boats, despite all the evidence showing that when centrists ape the extreme right they simply empower it. It even went so far as to mimic Reform’s branding: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

2. Linked to its alignment with the Netanyahu government is the Labour government’s assaults on the right to protest at home. Assaults that would have stopped the Labour movement in its tracks: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

1. Many here seem bemused by the anger and disappointment this government attracts. Please bear with me while I try to explain it. Let’s begin with Gaza. Starmer’s complicity is one of the major reasons so many people are disillusioned. rethinkingsecurityorguk.wpcomstaging.com/2025/10/07/i... 🧵

Palestine Action are found not guilty for the offence that our government claimed as grounds for proscribing them.

The House of Lords puts cronies, donors and disgraced politicians like Lord Mandelson in positions of immense power over our country for life. Unelected and unaccountable. Abolish this relic.

If Marquess was on an Aprillia nobody would be talking about the last few percent the bike is missing

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine. They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care. Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression. We know colonialism. Stand up, take Action 🇵🇸

The Ministry of Justice is still refusing to meet with the lawyers or families of hunger strikers being held on remand. This is a shambolic dereliction of duty. I have written to David Lammy, again, imploring him to do the right thing before it is too late.

@andrewrawnsley.bsky.social Nice article in the paper today

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Tonight we have the chance to qualify for our first World Cup since 1998. It could be spectacular. And every single group game has been shown live on free-to-view TV. Our national team is for all of us. It should never return to being hidden behind a paywall.

Labour won't redistribute wealth from billionaires. But they will seize belongings from those fleeing war and persecution. Absolutely disgusting. Asylum seekers are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity just like anybody else. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This week's column is on Billionaire Brain: the condition which seems to prevent extremely rich people from perceiving the utterly bleeding obvious. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our planet is on fire, and workers are being hit hard by the cost of living, but the super-rich couldn't care less. BP pocketed £1.7 billion in profit, whilst our energy bills are rising and climate chaos intensifies. It's time for climate action, it's time to tax the rich!
