Still, the good news, now that the US and Russia are best buddies, is that there is no longer any need for Trident. 😏

As we welcome the news that the UK will support Ukraine with a £2.26bn loan… Here’s your reminder that the Conservatives wasted £9.9bn on unusable or defective PPE Never forget their staggering corruption and incompetence.

Thames Water creditors ask England watchdog to pause fines for sewage dumping, unplugged leaks. They don't want to end profiteering, cash extraction, undeserved exec pay. The industry is financially, morally and environmentally bankrupt. Only public ownership can end the abuses. archive.ph/hxUhA

Trump & Vance planned this Live attack with prepared Russian talking points thinking they would humiliate Pres. Zelensky. Instead, Trump & Vance brought disgrace and shame to the U.S., and themselves. The world stands with President Zelensky! #StandWithUkraine www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

What happened in the Oval Office on Friday — the obviously planned ambush of Zelensky by Trump and Vance — was something that had never happened in the nearly 250-year history of this country! Our president sided with the aggressor, the dictator and the invader of Ukraine! PUTIN FIRST USA LAST

I’m not normally a BBC basher but it’s *still* referring to what happened in the White House yesterday as a “shouting match”, a “ spat” and a “row”. We all watched it. That’s not an accurate depiction of events.

The leaders of France, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Norway, Ireland and Spain have all tweeted support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine over Trump. Putin thought he could divide Europe, and a victory for Trump would weaken the west. Wrong on both counts.

Ed Miliband claimed yesterday that UK Energy will reduce electricity prices for consumers in the UK. Unless he changes the rules on energy pricing, it won't. Why do Labour talk total nonsense? Are they ignorant, stupid or liars? It's a fair question to ask. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April — while companies have raked in over £457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020. Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains. It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

If only Westminster had courageous leaders who would tackle their own energy regulator. Electricity costs could be reduced instantly by 65% instead of constantly increasing. Richard explains how... So why doesn't 🥀 Labour choose to do this?

In other words 2/3 of Scots are sceptical about the prospects for the UK, and no longer see any merit whatsoever in staying in a fast-decaying, morally and financially bankrupt, mega-toxic Union. Tick-tock. #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Unionists in Scotland often scoff at memes like this and treat them with scorn. What I would like to see is a similar Unionist meme showing us the advantages of being in the Union. Anyone?

The inexplicable power the right wing Israeli lobby exerts in Britain is revealed in the shameful decision by the BBC to withdraw a brilliant documentary about the brutal reality facing Palestinians under the Zionist genocide. Scots have experienced BBC bias since 2014, now everyone knows.

Note the softer language adopted by Reporting Scotland compared to the more accurate language used by STV News to describe Anas Sarwar's GRR U-turn. More evidence that BBC Scotland is protecting Sarwar, not just from broken pledges but this time from legislation he supported. (MSM Monitor)

And Labour still have the gall to stand candidates in Glasgow and ask for your votes. When their ruinous equal pay denial and PFI scheme caused a financial black hole for SNP to fix. Don’t reward them for the damage they did - and are still doing - to our city.
