Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Crazy crowd of 35,000 at the AOC & Bernie Sanders rally in LA. 😳👏 #FightOligarchy

BREAKING: Centrists are extremely proud to nationalise British Steel because that idea was only bad when Jeremy Corbyn wanted to do it x

If "Scottish" Labour had any leverage at all, Grangemouth would be safe, The super-computer would be in Edinburgh, The WASPI women would be compensated, The two-child cap would be gone, Pensioners would not freeze over winter. But it doesn't. It's a wasted vote!

BBC Scotland caught lying again, how do they get away with a muted apology months after blasting the airwaves with their nonsense

Labour are planning to nationalise British Steel - to save the Scunthorpe plant from closing down. Why didn't Labour do the same when Scotland's last oil refinery announced it was closing down? Scottish jobs are an afterthought for Labour.

A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that recent Columbia graduate and Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported—even though Khalil has a green card, is a lawful permanent resident, and has not been charged with any crimes.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Kier Starmer just asked why the takeover of the Scunthorpe steelworks, being discussed by Westminster tomorrow, wasn't an option for Port Talbot last year. He ignored the question and didn't answer. I can't describe how angry I feel. Plaid Cymru called for Port Talbot to be nationalised. Ignored...

A good question if labour can’t run a city how can they run a country

Ah lovely. Another bag of rubbish gets tipped into the House of Lords. The place must absolutely reek of stale Tory failure, corruption and abuse of power. Honours handed out like sweeties to some of the most undeserving, underachieving, overpromoted clowns and liars to have ever held public office.

Anyone in Scotland still voting for Labour at the next election needs their head seeing to. They don't care about you.

I don't want anyone to lose their jobs, but the difference between British steel, Parliament being recalled, also H of L. Then look at Grangemouth in Scotland, WM even gave them money to go to Belgium, £600M tax payers money 💰.

Michael Gove scrapped the £56bn school building project in 2010 that was set to replace every single RAAC school in the UK. He then replaced it with nothing. Fast forward 13 years and they are all falling down. Whose fault is it?

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

Bloody Hell!! Just going to slip out and take pictures of our garden, in bloom, to send to you 😏 😈

The US announced it removed the commander of the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland because of a “loss of confidence in her ability to lead,” after Vice President JD Vance’s controversial visit to the semiautonomous island last month.

You know it’s bad when the illegitimate compromised Supreme Court voted unanimously to force the orange felon and his group of criminals to bring back the Maryland man they deported to El Salvador. Also, let’s stop pretending it was a mistake, it was done on purpose.

CLIVE LEWIS MP 'the Scottish people have 2 clear choices: 1. Union with a declining imperial power, ruled by hard-right, neoliberal English nationalists, or 2. Vote for Scottish independence and look to rejoin the EU, an emerging power with democratic institutions gaining in power' #YouYesYet

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

This is Salt Lake City, Utah. Amazing turnout for #HandsOff rally in a deep red state.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Just to give you a sense of the political breadth of today’s #HandsOff event in DC today, I would like to note that there were people carrying the flag of Greenland there today.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Mixed message.😂

Good grief. Are ye listening Jackie?

Didn’t it just.

when they said Better together they meant Better for England 👇

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Get in my Welsh buddies! A majority of voters now say they would back Welsh independence if it enabled them to rejoin the European Union That’s a real breakthrough! nation.cymru/news/majorit...

He's absolutely 💯. Scotland and England are very different landscapes now. It's time.

Now, why would the BBC paint Labour in a bad light in every region of England and also Wales, but not do so in Scotland? It's because the BBC are doing their part to try and promote Reform, but know it would backfire Scotland, and could end up gifting the SNP big wins in the 2026 Scottish Elections.

Keir Starmer is chasing the US for a trade deal Meanwhile, Canada which trades the most with the US is looking to be closer to the European Union Melanie Joly, "Our goal is to be closer to the UK, but particularly the EU"

At least The SNP cares 👏

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

Israeli's are perfectly happy to openly discuss their 'ethnic-cleansing' of Gaza, and Sir Keir Starmer is still perfectly happy to sell them weapons, and mainstream media is still perfectly happy to suggest that Israel is defending itself... www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Really important bill, which is criminally under-discussed. Great thread below and I wrote about it here open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

The SNP is marking the 3-year anniversary of ScotRail being brought into public ownership A report shows "strong growth in both passenger journeys and revenue" in that time "[In] public ownership ScotRail has consistently exhibited higher train performance & Passenger Satisfaction than the GB avg"

🙄

I'm haunted by the question: what would I do if ICE were to come to take one of my students away while I was with them. Would I scream? Take a video? Try to pull the masks off? Try to drag the men away? Start crying? Could I trust myself to be brave?

Why would you even ask this? My god there are so many more witless ******* in the US than I realised.

Putin comes against Le Pen ruling. Authoritarians hates any possibility of legal restraint on their leadership. Trump will doubtless do the same. Journalists do not have to follow this framing. There is zero reason for them to start a report by questioning whether the ruling is democratic.
