“All that’s left is shame.” That and at least 69,000 murdered Palestinian civilians. Are we to assume that the British government didn't know all that was going on, whilst continuing to support the Israeli government? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Hmmm. I wonder how long before Tim Davie comes out for Reform UK.

Our Crowdfunder has reached over the £3,000 target. If you're a member of a YES group who have benefitted from our work, or just enjoy our work, please consider making a donation via this link to our Independence account via our secure Stripe link. donate.stripe.com/bJe9AVc8k3Tc...

Reminder that Tim Davie, who's just resigned as BBC Director-General, stood in an election for the Tories in Hammersmith, was deputy chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative Party and in 2020 spent his first day in the job visiting BBC Scotland in Glasgow.

When all the lovely data centres are built we’ll be able to use ChatGPT 24/7 while we die from dehydration.

In decades to come there will be an industry of academics and commentators trying to explain the complex reasons why humans dismally failed to avert the catastrophic warming of their only habitable planet, but the real reason will remain that they couldn’t be arsed because it was a bit inconvenient.

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar? I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

Together we mourn, and together we will rebuild. Vigil for Gaza, 2pm today in Gourock. All welcome to join in. #MedicalAidforPalestinians

Believe in Scotland have said that the 2029 General Election can be “the day the UK ends” as the group sets out its road map to independence

1/ Cancelling Your Licence Fee? Here's a Another Way To Beat The Beeb - Mass Protest. I agree with people who feel they want to cancel their TV Licence. It's no wonder with all the lies and bias that the BBC spew out on a daily basis. Here's another thought though.

I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

"More than 5,000 fossil fuel lobbyists.. have been allowed to participate in the annual climate negotiations where states are meant to come in good faith and commit to ambitious policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'Farage has also said that the Barnett formula needs to be “looked at again.” By this what he really means is that Westminster should slash funding for Scotland while continuing to help itself to Scotland’s immense resources.' @weegingerdug.bsky.social, via the National archive.is/IW1Lv

Fossil fuel lobbyists are now talking gas up as a ‘green’ fuel. To be absolutely clear, this is nonsense. Coal full life cycle emissions: 800-1,700g CO2e/kWh Gas full life cycle emissions: 290-930g CO2e/kWh Wind power full life cycle emissions: 5-15g CO2e/kWh

Scotland 2026 GE Prediction: SNP will not win single-party majority, but with ScotGreens there will be a pro-indy majority of MSPs. Westminster will then refuse to recognise this as a mandate for an independence referendum. What then?

If the UK Government truly believed that the SNP are a threat to national security then they'd move to make them a proscribed organisation. Since they're not, they're evidently lying.

If the UK is a nation of devolved nations, why is there no BBC England? Why are the devolved nations paying for a national service that concentrates on England i.e. Radio 4 BBC1 Five Live.

🚨🚨 #Starmer government has just made one more step in throwing away any climate credentials it had - it has just awarded #Drax a further four years subsidies as the UK's biggest carbon emitter @dalevince.com @zackpolanski.bsky.social @rupertread.bsky.social

WE DID IT ... WE DID IT !! We reached the first target of just over £3,000 on the Crowdfunder with 4 days to spare. Huge thanks to all you wonderful people who donated. Two YES groups are about to benefit from this already. I'll leave the funder open so that it can still receive donations.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Do immigrants work more than people born in the UK? I thought I'd take a look. The answer? A strong "yes". Particularly for people coming from EU countries. www.datawrapper.de/_/yLqBk/

David Lammy is the third senior Labour Gov figure to call the Scottish Government a national security risk this week Given this government isn't prepared to say this about China .... this is pretty dreadful. What happened to the "family of nations"? www.thenational.scot/news/2559871...

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

But Edinburgh Council has allowed large public areas close to & behind the Zoo to be out with the Zones so the animals will still hear the dumb things. Not to mention one of my cats is panicking like mad. They should have made a No Firework Zone City wide But no. Minority Labour Council knew best🤷‍♀️

Edinburghs No Firework Zones are crap at best. For two weeks morons have been letting off fireworks. Tonight, they are doing so with a vengeance 😕 They had a pretendy public consultation about the Zones, although they were rightly trying to stop the trauma to the Zoo animals after last years deaths

“… fact checkers have also previously weighed in on the figure when it was repeatedly used [by UK Labour in Scotland] during the General Election. In June 2024, Full Fact said that the calculation method used by [UK Labour in Scotland] “misrepresents the data”.” #OptionalIdentityMark #Liebour

A day of huge mourning for the Far Right in the UK. Not only was the Huntingdon train stabbings not the terrorist/asylum seeker/immigrant atrocity they’d hoped and prayed for, here is the hero of the day:

This long overdue. The harm they cause to animals is so cruel. There is no redeeming quality to fireworks and there is little or no control of when and where they are set off for weeks!

This petition has now been live for 4 days and I can't understand why it's not being supported. I'm hearing "oh, they'll never agree to that" Initially, that's pretty obvious, but if 10's of thousands people make enough trouble... c.org/zrjnNbcSzY

Hm. Bigger Hmmmm. Biggest Hmmmmmm. #PeasInAPod

If it walks like a Tory and talks like a Tory … #MiniMeReeves #Liebour

And some will moan that 2% didn’t happen. Well sometimes surgeries get cancelled - patient has cold or infection - emergency surgeries have to happen - surgery can occasionally overrun So 2# cancellation is an astonishing achievement

Starmer is already laying the foundations of a police state. If Farage gets into No 10 people will be disappeared here just as they are being disappeared in the US. #IndependenceIsNormal #ScottishIndependence

BBC in Scotland admits misleading Scots again by copying & pasting a Tory press release that is anti Scottish Government. The BBC response isn't good enough. An investigation into he BBCs Editorial practices in Scotland needs to happen. Even the new headline still smears the Scottish Government🙄

I could post for ages, frankly, about how it is completely doomed and pointless to try to get to independence by any pathway other than voting for the SNP or the SGP, but I also have to say: you do know that Scottish Parliament elections are about who governs Scotland in general right

Though it seems a biiiig stretch to include Labour in centre/left block. Their rightward shunt seems to make lumping them with Reform/Tories much more logical.
