A very good afternoon to the absolute hero who organised and parked this beauty in the middle of little Tommy’s far-right hate march. ❤️

So, my mom will die in the next bit from dementia and being 93. She's in bed, motionless no food shitting herself on morphine and has been since Wednesday. We are starving her until something breaks. How is this humane? We dont let our pets suffer like this . This is nuts.

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

In 2014 during the indyref, Labour's Golden boy Andy Burnham said he opposed Scottish independence as he "didn't want to drive up the M6 and get my passport out or have to drive on the right when I want to drive on the left". If this is the guy who's going to save Labour, it's game over already.

Rather than our government investing in public infrastructure, they’re outsourcing to this horrible company, which then gets to extract all the information, power and profit it likes, and the taxpayer will pay for the privilege, writes Mhairi Black ✍️ Read more: www.thenational.scot/politi...

Westminster won't tackle inequality. We need all the powers of independence to sort it ourselves. Let's be more like the rest of Europe. public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

'I felt really disappointed in myself and the system,' 29-year-old Zoe said, after admitting that she had voted for a far-right group with a similar name to the Scottish Greens👀

No American should be comfortable with the President of the United States accusing a reporter of treason for critical reporting.

Listening to the news on the radio, they mention about the stabber about to be sentenced. They conveniently forget the 3rd Muslim man that was stabbed and only mention the 2 Jewish men. Trying very hard to spin the narrative of Anti-semitism.

A new far-right terror attack in the UK has been confirmed in court. Alina Burns, then 18, tried to behead an Iranian refugee who was standing outside a barber's shop in Bristol with an axe The attack took place on 2 August 2025 but a judge did not rule on 'terrorism connection' until today

Cat: Notgoing to eat that. Nope. And, yes, I know it's that expensive cat food I happily guzzle on other days. Nope. Same cat: Eats nasty, crusty left over dry bits it found in another dish with gusto. #cats 😸

⬇️ Economy down £240bn. ⬇️ Investment down 18%. ⬇️ 4000 fewer doctors in the NHS. ⬇️ £90bn less in tax revenue. 💰 All so he could pocket a few quid. He doesn't care about the working class, he is taking the country for a mug.

You will not label me anti-Semitic for calling out genocide and standing with the people of Palestine and Lebanon how dare YOU.🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Does Cornwall have a pro-indy political party? If so, has that party got any UK level elected representatives? Does that party run Cornwall? If the answer to any of these questions, especially the last one, is no then you are not in the same situation as Scotland, Wales and especially N. Ireland.

Did you known that the 2026 cross-party mandate to hold a Scottish independence referendum is larger than the 2011 Alternative Vote referendum, the 2016 Brexit referendum, *and* the 2014 Scottish independence referendum? Yet Westminster still insists there is no mandate. #Scotland

Why does Radio 4 always platform as its 'independent legal expert' Jonathan Sumption, known to be hostile to the European Convention on Human Rights? Especially as he wasn't a human rights lawyer? (A rhetorical question. It's the BBC the Tories created and Starmer is too clueless to push back.)

In addition to Israel routinely beating, starving, torturing and raping Palestinians in its detention camps, new research by Israel's Physicians for Human Rights reveals that, in 2024, some 200 children were put in total isolation inside tiny punishment cells.

Nigel Farage is a GRIFTER - pass it on.

I rewatched Big Trouble in Little China (1986) last night. I loved it as a kid... and it's even more fun than I remember 😀What a brilliant film. Kurt Russell is magnificent with all his bravado and one-liners, the fights are great, and Lo Pan and his crew are fantastic. 10/10 ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Remembering British actor Ronald Lacey, who left us on this day in 1991! He appeared in so many films and TV Series including Porridge, Indiana Jones, and Blackadder 2!

Dud you know that Scottish pro-independence mandate since 2014 has exceeded the electoral strength of the mandate that delivered the 2014 Independence Referendum. davidbirkettsnp.substack.com/p/why-we-hav...

In the second episode of "Why We have a Mandate" I explore Precedent. Scotland has exceeded the thresholds on which the UK has held similar referenda, but still we are denied. Read on. davidbirkettsnp.substack.com/p/why-we-hav...

In light of the leadership chaos that is about to erupt in Westminster, I think it's imperative that the @snp.org and @scottishgreens.org press ahead with independence strategy and processes as quickly as possible. This is urgent and must not be delayed.

England does not own Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. And it is not our right or responsibility to save England from its own democratic choices.

I'm sorry, but this is silly melodrama. The 'country' won't be 'destroyed'. Scotland, Wales and England will still be here (as will a united Ireland), we'll just be managing our own destinies and, I believe, be much better friends than we are now.

A neighbor called and asked me to pick up a package for her. “I hate to bother you,” she said. “I don’t like asking for help.” Ladies. No. Stop. Asking for help is healthy. We are not meant to be hyper-independent. And “bother” implies you’re being a pest. You aren’t. Ask for the help you need.

Well done America. <sarcasm> You are the No.1, the undisputed greatest global bully. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Solar energy haters are hilarious. "You don't generate power when the sun's not out." Yeah, no shit, but when it is out, my solar panels generate a shit-ton of energy -- way more than my house can use. We almost hit 1000% offset last week. Imagine that on a mass scale.
