Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger. What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking. We must stand firm with our European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

President Zelenskyy of #Ukraine is being deluged by - and retweeting - support from European leaders following the shocking #Trump thuggery in the Oval Office today. Europe is upping its game. One significant name missing from the supportive messages thus far: Keir Starmer.

A new Insta trend: workplaces (esp hospitals & care homes) in Germany show how they, how we all rely on migrants who work there, how they are part of this country, our friends, colleagues. We'd be poorer w/o them. They are appreciated. They are us. #GoodMorning, everyone [🎥 shortened; link below]

BBC Scotland colluded with the Scotland Office in order to manufacture the 'Swinney denies two child cap delay' headline. Here's how it was done. Kirsten Campbell confronted John Swinney with a lie given to her by Ian Murray. Swinney corrected her, but the headline was already written. 👇🏻

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.

Hats off to @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and sod off to Elon Musk. Here's a 🎶 parody of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" about Musk's recent spate of diarrhoea tweets about the UK, called "Turd on a Wire" (with an attempted nod to the wonderful k.d. lang version ❤️). youtu.be/G_N4UmUjJeo

We’re working hard to avoid it, but if opposition parties block the Budget, the consequences are devastating: ❌ NHS funding slashed ❌ Cancelled operations, pay rises at risk ❌ No winter heating payments for pensioners ❌ Halted progress on teachers, housing & the A9

This has to be one of the greatest betrayals of ordinary voters in a western country. These people should resign. Only honourable way out. It’s a terrible thing to have done yet again to vulnerable pensioners. They have been robbed. Ombudsman said to go ahead with compensation. How odious is this?

Does this Labour Gov just really hate pensioners? After innumerable Labour photo ops with Waspi women, Labour has stabbed them in the back & refused compensation. Any comments Jackie Baillie & Anas Sarwar?

Anas Sarwar and Ian Murray have both deleted the pages giving their support to the Waspi women campaign from their official websites. Funny that. Do they think that by deleting the pages we will forget that they betrayed women they had pledged to support?

First the UK Labour government have cut winter heating payments for pensioners, and now they’re denying WASPI women what they’re due. Quite simply, this is a betrayal.

Ireland’s Prime Minister Simon Harris called Israel’s decision to close its embassy in Dublin part of Israel’s “diplomacy of distraction,” intended to deflect attention from “what Netanyahu is doing to the innocent children of Gaza.” He said Ireland remains committed to human rights and int’l law.

Remember the folks that voted NO to #ScottishIndependence in 2014 because they were told they'd lose their pensions? (A lie. Just like the Vow. Just like everything emanating from Westminster.)

Will never forget Kuenssberg’s response to Stephen Flynn when he commented on the NI Brexit mess. He said, “We’re in this situation because Boris Johnson lied” to which she retorted, “That’s quite the charge.” No Laura. It’s the truth. And we might not be in this mess if you hadn’t helped bury it.

Scottish independence is an inherently rebellious act and the public is in the mood for rebellion. If we on the independence side don’t get our act together then they're going to seek their rebellion elsewhere, and that elsewhere will be with Reform & the far right. robinmcalpine.org/its-independ...

Israel is invading Syria. While committing genocide in Gaza, settler terror in the West Bank & bombing raids on Lebanon, Israeli tanks roll into Damascus. This is a system of oppression that knows no borders — yet the UK government parrots lines about “Israeli self-defence”.

I have just logged on and have seen many posts related to Indy on here and FB. However, so many are really negative talking about England stealing our energy and Labour lies. Personally, in a world full of doom, I think we would should talk positively about the vision of an independent Scotland.

We need more of this. Scotland's politicians setting out the ways Scottish people are better with Holyrood representation. The commentator at the end gets it. Political leaders have to show how Westminster isn't working for us and why we need #ScottishIndependence youtu.be/tcKfbLoe0Jc
