Sad to say, Liberty's challenge to the length of the EHRC's consultation period has failed after a hearing today in the Court of Appeal. Not our case but (obviously) we would have liked to see it succeed.

Before election vs after election. #WeatherCockSarwar will do as he is told by Westminster Labour. ‘Scottish’ Labour? There is no such thing. Just a rubber stamp branch office for London policies.

I’ve seen lots of nonsense since Mamdani’s primary victory but the most irritating thread is people claiming they will leave NY if he is mayor. First of all, Go! It’s fine. It’s FINE. Go swelter in FL or wherever. No one cares. And secondly shut up. You’re lying. You aren’t going anywhere.

Labour has become unrecognisable, leaving the Greens as the party to: - take children out of poverty - keep public services in public hands - address the crises in health and social care. Greens - justice for you AND the planet.

Thou shalt not sell off 253 million acres of beautiful land just so it can become more Walmart and McDonald’s parking lots.

This is what progress looks like x www.normalisland.co.uk/p/iranian-wo...

Be the person your dog thinks you are.

Labour’s chaotic approach to welfare cuts suggests they’re acting like they have four more years to turn things around - but Senedd elections are less than a year away. Wales can choose a Plaid Cymru Government that offers a clear, principled alternative. #PoliticsLive

We're very pleased that, following over 70,000 complaints made by our followers to Ofcom, GB News has axed one of its homophobic shows. Ofcom's investigation, that your complaints sparked, continues. goodlaw.social/vc22

A 33-year-old Democratic Socialist will become the next mayor of NYC and the worst, most corrupt people in the USA are losing their minds. God loves to see it.

Never forget that while this government is prepared to ruin the lives of disabled people for the sake of £5bn, it is simultaneously lavishing far greater sums on pointless and destructive white elephants, of which this is just one.

Not an SNP fanboy in any way (and pissed off to the Nth degree at their lack of ooomph on independence), but the single greatest measure of a government’s success must surely be its effect on the welfare of children. By that measure their success is huge. indyposterboy.scot/scottish-chi...

Funny what people reserve their outrage for. A. Children getting blown to bits in cold blood? B. Scootering into an RAF base to spray some paint on a plane? Decisions, decisions ....

In light of Labour's new plans to deny Personal Independence Payments to new claimants:

The Zionist entity killed over 2000 people in 12 days.

"Starmer’s government is willing to get into bed with the the Tories over its benefit cuts bill. Not only that, they’re “delighted’ about it(!)"

Big Capital want Thames Water to face no repercussions for destroying the environment or for illegal profiteering. And they want to continue asset stripping while turning a public utility into a cash cow. The Labour government is refusing to consider longterm public ownership of the industry.

The Suffragettes campaign of direct action in the years leading up to the First World War were more militant than Palestine Action. Maybe Yvette Cooper should explain why she thinks the Suffragettes' direct action was right and Palestine Action's is wrong.

"In April, 36 of the over 300 members of the Board of Deputies (BoD) of British Jews wrote a damning open letter criticising Israel’s genocidal crimes in Gaza. And the right-wing pro-Israel group has now responded by officially suspending five elected representatives who signed the letter."

WM's project disasters over the last 25 yrs

Eyes on Gaza!

The Yoons are going nuts over this.😂

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Salvo has submitted docs requesting that the UN recognises Scotland as a colony of England. Westminster refusing a democratic referendum seems a strong argument in favour of colony status, but how much influence does the UK have in the UN to fudge the issue? indyposterboy.scot/englands-col...

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

“Under international maritime law, the UK has full jurisdiction over the vessel, and a legal duty to protect the crew of the boat.” It didn’t. www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-avoi...

STOP PRESS Grid to Applecross and beyond to Skye has finally been approved by Scotgov planning today - a week after the release of this film. Just coincidence nae doot. Trying to find out from SSE when they will start. Well done Applecross Community for years of hard work. youtu.be/J0kUgdms368

Every country with a dictator has played this game before. Here’s the cheat sheet: - Stage a fake emergency - Issue sweeping executive orders - Let a loyalist judge validate them - Watch the media shrug and spin - Count on the public assuming it’s someone else’s fight theaimn.net/the-day-the-...

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

The LAPD whenever they think no one can see

"There is nothing left to say. Maybe that is the point. To render us speechless. Who does not feel paralyzed? And maybe, that too, is the point. To paralyze us. Who is not traumatized? And maybe that too was planned. Nothing we do, it seems, can halt the killing."

Heartening, towards the end. #freepalestine

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽
