Tom Walter showing his true colours. As a lesbian, I do not accept his dishonest 'apology'. He is only sorry that it got caught on video.

I think we are starting to identify the problem America has. It is Republican billionaires.

I don't know if trials will happen, but if you work for ICE should quit or sabotage instead of being evil.

An epic dog!

Cry me a river.

In a world where a rogue US President dominates & dictates so much of our politics, these 4 politicians are among those regularly tackling his nonsense in the UK. How often do the broadcasters tell us that? Sign now if u want to hear ALL parties not just one. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Jonathan Joss was the victim of a violent, homophobic hate crime. This is why we have Pride Month and why we’ll only get louder and prouder. RIP Jonathan Joss

Peter Thiel, Musk’s comrade-in-arms among the tech-bro oligarchs, is from a German family that moved to the South African town of Swakopmund, which had a substantial German population—many of them unreformed Nazis who idolized Hitler. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Nigel Farage wants energy-rich Scotland to become poorer by taking away vital support like free prescriptions and free tuition. And he has openly discussed privatising the NHS. Only the SNP can beat him in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse on 5th June.

The lesson for the SNP as new poll puts independence support at 54% www.thenational.scot/news/2520907...

Scottish LABOUR Councillor, Jamie, he has just defected to... Reform UK. What was it, in their Racist, National Front, Scottish-hating Manifesto, that he absolutely loved? Renfrew North, now, a bit like 'The Deep South', but less tolerant. Everything wrong with Scottish Labour, in one photie!

Straight from cosplaying Reform to cosplaying Churchill! We are NOT at war. We need to continue to back Ukraine to the absolute max. And boost cybersecurity and other unconventional defence such as AI and drone swarms. But the prospect of Britain becoming engaged in a shooting war is zero.
