Prof Danny Dorling of Oxford University nails it squarely on the head. The SG get zero credit for their policies on welfare. Particularly the Scottish child payment which lifts kids out of poverty. The loyal, compliant media on both sides of the border fear reporting this would fuel Independence.

While the eyes of the world are on Iran, the Israeli military is still slaughtering civilians in Gaza as they try to access food after months of starvation. We can't let the Israeli govt's unprovoked attack on Iran distract us from the unfolding genocide www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran. Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve. Exactly what Netanyahu wanted. They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

🔥 FT calls for sanctions on Israel. “The Bank of Israel invests about a quarter of its relatively large stock of reserves in Europe, which a freeze would make unavailable for their financial stabilisation function and could in time be put towards any compensation due to Palestinians.”

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

All the other acts at TRNSMT now have a choice. Show solidarity with Kneecap and boycott the gig, or meekly continue to perform at a festival that doesn't tolerate the humanitarian views of Kneecap. 2 weeks ago, bands were willing to put their name to a statement, is that as far as they will go?

Either James O’Brien didn’t know Sangita had an NDA (and presenters are treated very differently from each other at LBC)… Or he knew. If he knew, then it was an absolutely malicious & cowardly act on his part to attempt to defame Sangita, knowing she could not reply.

Words like ‘genocide’ to describe what is happening in Gaza are no longer debated by international legal experts or human rights organisations so why is our government still selling arms to the Israeli government?

There must be absolutely no place for racism in Scotland. Anas Sarwar is a political rival of mine but he shouldn’t be subjected to race-baiting attacks. Farage has done more than anyone else to demonise minorities and inflame tensions. It must stop.
