Labour following the Reform Party lead. This is not what many people voted for last year. Want to say #RefugeesWelcome and #MigrantsWelcome? join.greenparty.org.uk

It’s good that @bbcscotlandnewsnot.bsky.social is highlighting the fact that our great UK leader The Right Honourable Keir Starmer is visiting Scotland today. It is a proud moment for Scotland. Perhaps we could crowdfund a statue of him to show our gratitude.

Scotland who still has to send over half of her revenues to England looks after her people so much better #ScottishIndependence www.believeinscotland.org/child_povert...

England wants us so weak that we can no longer rise up #ScottishIndependence

The last two evenings STV News has dedicated 10 mins to Grangemouth. Reporting Scotland just 19 secs. Scotland's biggest industrial story in years & the Local Labour MP attacking his own party. You don't miss a story this big by accident. If you aren't covering it's because you've been told not to.

Whenever I think about the UK, I think about how they have consistently voted for terrible things like Brexit and Tories and Starmer, and I wonder why that is Then I remember the whole county is bombarded with right-wing propaganda 24 hours a day

Every day more and more

Message to Trump:

RUTHLESS Starmer It's his own word, used boastfully about his own intentions. About what? Bringing to book wealthy tax dodgers perhaps? Or confronting water companies dumping sewage in our waterways? No. He said: "I will be ruthless in cutting public spending budgets." Ruthless against you. And me.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

So, Govt announces that: Will take driving licences from those DWP suspects of Fraud Will take laptops, phones etc money directly from bank accounts of those it suspects Meaning govt has power & will use power to go into anyone’s bank account But Baroness Mone is still a peer of the realm WTF

So the 4 Israeli soldiers are yet again described by the BBC as “hostages” yet Palestinian civilians are “prisoners” Why is this not being called out more?

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... The world of Starmer. A 78 yr old woman languishing in prison for protesting. This is who he is. This is where we are.

Farage is still banging on about the uk leaving the ECHR. I’m keen to understand which human rights he’s most interested in abolishing…

Even during the absolute nadir of Blairism I never watched V for Vendetta thinking that PM was anything other than a Tory. It was always 💯 Tory, because as a northerner with leftwing parents & neighbours & parents' friends... In such a short time I hate Starmer as much as Thatcher. He's a monster.

Israel is openly ignoring the Ceasefire in Gaza and continuing their killing. Of course the Media is ignoring this. But when they inevitably fight back, Israel and the Media will use it as an excuse to exterminate them all. Everyone should stop arming the War Criminals Israel.

Something to think about

Celtic going to the knockout stages is IMMENSE! For a club of Scottish football finances, this is such a big deal for us!

Wow that was nerve tingling. Well done Celtic. Now announce Tierney 🍀👏👏👏

But, but, there's no money 🤷🏻

What we are witnessing is the normalisation of extremism. If we allow the right to pretend that the German AFD is just another conservative party... or that Donald Trump is just another president... or that Elon Musk was just getting carried away with that salute are on a distinctly dangerous path.

I'm no fan of any form of religion, but I'm happy to recognise the bravery of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. TO HIS FACE And he couldn't talk back. Bravo. Watch the high up windows.

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday. And they all *hate* regulation…

Went to see Merchant of Venice at @lyceumedinburgh.bsky.social tonight. It was brilliant. Seeing Shakespeare plays on stage sometimes doesn’t work for me. It’s like actors going through the motions. This production though was not like that. The acting was crisp and at times just excellent. 👏👏👏

You’re all about to be gaslit about that Nazi salute and I’m begging you to spend no time on it. You know what you saw.

Brexit was always inherently a bad idea. But several factors that could not have been fully predicted before the 2016 referendum made it a bigger disaster: - Election of Donald Trump x2 - Pandemic - Russia's war on Ukraine All 3 made European unity more important, and our status as outsider worse.

The entire Media and almost the entire Political class support Israel, but everybody in the West still knows that Israel is the bad guy.

BILLY CONNOLLY ‘Scots voted to stay in Europe, and if the only way for us to do that is to become independent from England, that may just be the way to go. And I never thought I would say that.’ #Indyref2

The SNP have delivered the fairest and most progressive income tax system in Britain, with a majority paying less on average than the rest of Britain.

Starmer: unashamedly Zionist. The Israeli State has committed genocide, ecocide, urbicide and domicide in Gaza and against Gazans. But the vile Starmer refuses to acknowledge any of that. Doing so would be an admission of culpability on hus part - and on the part of the UK. Utterly reprehensible

Labour promised “change”. What has that looked like? Failing WASPI women, cutting winter heating payments and keeping people in poverty. While Labour offer rhetoric, I am focused on delivering progress for Scotland.

C'mon, people wake up to the truth. We're being shafted by the union. Scottish Independence Now! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿This Is The Way🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Aye Til I Die🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Labour Party, as dishonest as the day is long.. www.thenational.scot/news/2486247...

"Yes, the BBC (and the press in general) was prejudiced against Yes in the #Indyref. And rightly so. That's its job." Alex Massie, journalist, 27th August 2015

I see King Sausage Fingers got a suitable welcome as he visited Alloa today, But still I have to say the majority were out as usual waving their butcher's aprons & cheering him on. WTF is wrong with these people? Don't they understand how morally reprehensible it is for him to visit a foodbank???

Thanks to Bryan Adams for this one

Even UKGov’s own statistics confirm NHS Scotland’s A&E departments have been performing significantly better for nearly a decade but 'Scotland’s' media has been silent on that for the same period of time! Are you YES yet?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊🏻
