The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary say there is no genocide in Gaza. It is now clear this contradicts the government's own "long-standing policy" outlined below. When will they retract their denial of genocide?

You and I can both imagine this scenario. Can’t imagine it? Don’t worry, Christina has done the hard work for you and it is frightening. Britain is no exception and there’s little reason to believe it may buck the trend. It’s game on and the progressive, science led left need to tool up NOW.

Here’s the unionist media hailing Starmer’s belated minimal £200 as “good news for Scotland”. In comparison with the £600m to INEOS for a Belgian oil refinery, or £1bn to Radcliffe for development around Man U it is peanuts!

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

Trump calls Ukraine's Zelenskyy a 'dictator', 'modestly successful comedian', who should ‘move fast’ or lose country. Part of the strategy to force Ukraine to hand territory to Russia, mineral wealth to US. What next? Can't trust Trump as an ally. UK must rejoin EU. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

In 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland, Soviet Union agreed to carve-up the country. History repeats itself: Russia invaded Ukraine. Trump-led USA agreeing a carve-up. Will embolden all dictators to grab territories and resources of weaker countries. Nuclear proliferation inevitable.

Dictators are carving the globe. Trump is handing 20% or more of Ukraine to Putin. What next? Trump wants Greenland, Canada, Panama, Gaza, Ukraine minerals. Xi will want Taiwan and more. More countries will acquire nuclear weapons to prevent territorial grabs. Insanity is becoming the norm.

The coup accelerates. Trump administration fires top US general and Navy chief in unprecedented purge of military leadership. A black men and a woman removed, replaced by cronies. Trump and his cronies will have their fingers on the nuclear button. What next?

Barclays CEO pay up from £4.3m to £10.5m. Real average pay of UK workers unchanged since 2008. Govts tell workers pay rises are inflationary, but that doesn't apply to exec pay, dividends, exec pay, share buybacks. Their profiteering is our inflation and poverty. It is class war.

#IndyClan ⚔️ Devolution is a Unionist trap. That's how it was designed to prevent a Majority. When over 70% of the power rests with Westminster any Scottish Government is hamstrung.
