Sharing This Video Could Get You 14 Years in Prison @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

When a planned massacre happens at all hours of the day, 24-7, for months, years, it's not a mere massacre. It is genocide. The textbook case of genocide. And it is on our conscience. Each and every one of us, whatever our beliefs, are weighed down by it. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

I think if the Democratic party doesn't stand in full force behind Zohran Mamdani against the current wave of islamophobic attacks, including calls to deport him, it will be the death of the party. It will look like a party dealing with a primary winner they don't like by throwing him to the wolves.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

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...

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.

Stephen Kinnock is lying. People don't lose PIP when they get a job, its not an out of work benefit & plenty of people on PIP work Kinnock knows this. What he's doing is part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers stealing from working people

He's done less than fuck all for Scotland.

It's taken a year for this Labour MP in Scotland to ask the community that elected him what they're concerned about?

Here they are, the 27 Labour MPs in Scotland who are willing to betray the sick & disabled: Graeme Downie Blair McDougall Frank McNally Gregor Poynton Joani Reid Michael Shanks Zubir Ahmed Irene Campbell Torcuil Crichton Alan Gemmell John Grady Chris Kane Johanna Baxter Kenneth Stevenson

Breaking exclusive: the estimated number of cracks in the graphite core of a nuclear reactor at Torness in East Lothian has risen to 585 – the highest so far – prompting fears of a nuclear “meltdown” and calls for its early closure. theferret.scot/nuclear-reac...

Whilst his party attempts to remove essential benefits from the disabled, this Labour MP in Scotland tries to deflect with... vintage buses.

I created a list to see what Labour in Scotland thinks is important. A constant diet of meeting other Labour members... and smiles for the camera. It's almost like they're embarrassed to comment on what their party is actually doing. bsky.app/profile/did:...

“Kudos to Glastonbury for not canning the Kneecap slot despite huge pressure, including from the prime minister. Starmer’s got a country to run, yet there he is telling us all who should and shouldn’t be allowed to play the West Holts stage. It’s nuts.” www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

If I published this video next week, I could be sent to prison for 14 years. That’s for expressing support for Palestine Action, who take direct action to stop genocide. We are heading to a very dark place. New video 👇 youtu.be/KgPy2QRS7r8

Isn't it odd how this kind of news is never on the BBC, Reporting Scotland or in corporate media press? “The Scottish Child Payment was responsible for the biggest reduction in inequality caused by a single policy change since the collapse of the Berlin Wall.” indyposterboy.scot/scottish-chi...

Responsible leaders of American institutions must deal with the tyrant in the Oval Office by saying unequivocally “no” and unambiguously refusing to do what he demands. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-not-to-submit-to-a-tyrant

Can you hear the heart beat of "Scotland at the beating heart of a new Britain" (Starmer)? No, me neither. #IndependenceIsNormal #ScottishIndependence

At least #LabourFriendsOfGenocide are being consistent. After all, it's undeniable the BBC never reports accurately on the genocide in #Gaza either. Nandy is a disgrace. www.thenational.scot/news/2526856...

Here we go ...

“the BBC have heard complaints that their Glasgow edition of Question Time featured no-one from Glasgow’s third largest party, the Scottish Greens. To rectify this we have invited Glasgow’s sole Reform UK councillor to appear on the next episode”

UK's Home Secretary happy to pose with a genocide & ethnic cleansing supporter of war crimes "[Tzipi Hotovely] has a long and well documented history of denying the right of Palestine to exist and is a clear example of why this Israeli government is not a partner for peace" meme via Red Labour
