So we've got 74 deregulated SEZs and 12 Freeports set up by Sunak and Starmer immediately after Brexit, which is literally carving up the UK into corporate-governed feudal enclaves. Thread

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished. They would make hundreds of billions from this. That is what they want.

The Conservatives wrote off £4.3bn in Covid Loans given to their mates businesses. But they chased a man who owed 2p and it cost them 100x as much to get it back. That is the blatant corruption and persecution we have in the UK.

At least 16 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Israeli attacks across Gaza today, report our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/8m5edc

Wow, Wyden catches the SSA nominee Frank Bisignano in a lie in his first question. He asked Bisignano if he was involved in discussions about DOGE? Bisignano said no. But Wyden has a statement from a senior official that Bisignano insisted "on personally approving DOGE hires at the agency."

The view from across the pond… 😕

Protestor interrupts US Senate meeting to shout "Israel is the biggest threat to global security, stop funding Israel." Too right.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is beloved for standing up to Trump! Tens of thousands gathered in Mexico City town square yesterday to celebrate her push back against trumps tariffs. They chanted ‘Mexico is to be respected’! 👏🏼 🇲🇽

The oil tanker involved in this morning's collision was carrying aviation fuel for the US military and their bases in the UK. Not as damaging as crude oil but still damaging, report the BBC.

This is just SHITE!!! They won't even be in Glasgow it is at Westminster Abbey!!! Launch a fuckin baton??? What the fuck for? What good will it do launching a baton AT Westminster Abbey for Glasgow??? What a waste of fucking money. #NotMyGreedyKing #DownWithTheCrown news.stv.tv/west-central...

His DAD is a chancer and a charlatan, denied a Knighthood, for 'Tax Reasons'. You're silly or gullible, if you think Anas Sarwar hasn't learned a lot from him. He's only Labour because it was easy to become Leader. He refers to his Dad as: "My Role Model". He's Conservative with a big C.

Good Morning Caledonia.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Andrew Neil, here, with an uncanny description of your average Scotland In Union backer. The snide is turning. Have a great week.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Anas Sarwar promised Scotland would be at the heart of a Labour UK government and that he would be a voice for Scotland. But it turns out he's refused to even lift a finger to help tackle major issues facing Scots: ❌ No calls ❌ No emails ❌ No action

On reports that Israel may cut off its electricity supply to Gaza, SNP MP Brenda O’Hara says it is "barbaric" and "despicable" "This must be called out for what it would be - it is breaking international law." “[It] must be condemned in no uncertain terms by all politicians" especially the UK Govt

So much gooder than we hoped 😂

So the USA can remotely disable military hardware it supplies due to an inbuilt off switch. USA have just killed their military equipment export market. caliber.az/en/post/medi...

Never trust a Scottish guy who likes to dress- up like a Medieval Archer, spells his first name 'Alister' and has 'that accent'. Union Jack.

Once a chart topping boy band these 3 have fallen on hard times: Laurence Fox is now working as a scarecrow in fields near Bude. Calvin ‘Tommy’ Robinson ex vicar now working as an Uber driver. Darren Crimes recently sacked as a TV comedian is now employed as a juice extractor. 😔

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

Those of us pushing back against Farage are constantly undermined by Labour's pandering to him, and its destruction, one by one, of more hopeful visions of the future. Read this excellent column by @johnharris1969.bsky.social to see just how far it has gone. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is really disgusting. Naked bullying by Vance and Trump of a far better and more courageous person than either of them.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

The Starmer offer of a state visit now a nightmare.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened Thursday to sue Google after it changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico in its maps, in compliance with Donald Trump’s superficial executive order.

⚡️'Putin will wage war against NATO,' Zelensky tells NBC News. Russia is training 150,000 troops in Belarus for a large-scale operation that could happen as early as this summer, Zelensky said. "There are risks that this can be Poland and Lithuania."

Weidel's Alternative for Germany party has been highly scrutinised by the German intelligence service for its ties to extremists.

Lebanon official media say Israeli aircraft carried out three strikes in the Bekaa Valley in the country’s east, two days ahead of a withdrawal deadline in the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/1kopk6

Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary." Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year. 1/2

Once again Scotland is being robbed blind, But this time, Like many before it is being done in broad daylight. And we just sit back & allow it to happen. Scotland pays a higher rate in Kilowatt usage, So why are we not using it for ourselves first? www.thenational.scot/news/2493464...

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "I will never accept any decision between the US and Russia about Ukraine" "No leader in the world can make a deal with Putin about us, without us"

Repost if you agree.

We’re just days away from Trump saying he’s going to take over Ukraine, aren’t we?

One 125 ton Wind Turbine will in its lifetime produce the same amount of energy as burning 175,000 tonnes of coal. Imagine all that profit flowing away. That's why they hate them so much.

Iv been a wheelchair user 13 years, and today for the first time I saw somebody fold a pushchair when I got on the bus to make space for me.
