Calling Tesla drivers, Urgently seeking a current Tesla owner in the UK who has made the decision to sell or terminate their lease because of Elon Musk’s increasingly vocal support for the far-right, & who might be interested in taking part in a new Led By Donkeys film

People said Trump was a divisive figure, but after his and Vance's failed attempt to embarrass and extort Zelenskyy he's managed to unite the entire democratic world against him. Now the USA has only two allies left in the world, the war criminals Putin and Netanyahu.

Good will prevail. But only if we all stand up to be counted. Fuck evil.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Slava Ukraini.

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/ Slava Ukraini.

Where are the Democrats? Obama, anyone? The Clintons? Anyone??

JOHN SWINNEY ‘Scotland stands in full solidarity with Ukraine, and we will continue to unequivocally support Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity.’ #SlavaUkraine

Can all the papers run this as their cover tomorrow like they did the AI thing?

Withdraw the state visit invitation to Trump. Offer one to Zelensky instead. With bells and fucking whistles.

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

In decades to come, statues, parks and streets will stand to the example of President Zelensky. Trump will stand only as a reminder of the worst excesses of entitlement, stupidity, evil, and privilege and how collectively they brought about the Downfall of America.

Well... if the Trump state visit goes ahead we must remember how we feel right now. #StandWithUkraine

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

Farage is coming to Scotland so when we protest against him he can say it's because we hate the English. No, Nigel, we just hate YOU and your revolting racist far right politics. I'm surprised he knows where Scotland is. He doesn't know where Clacton is. www.thenational.scot/news/2496720...

"Bravo, Britain! 🇬🇧✊🙌🤣 Tesla #ElonMusk teslamotors"

As always with Labour u have to read the words carefully: "The funding will be available for co-investment with the private sector to help unlock Grangemouth’s full potential" as part of Project Willow which is "examining the .. future of the .. site .. expected to produce its report in the spring."

This is what a leader looks like 🔥🔥 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Geroyam Slava 🇺🇦 #SheShed

NEW: Jackie Baillie has quoted a nurse working in south east England to depict the 'reality of the NHS in Scotland' Get the full story below ⬇️

First it was kids in low income households, then pensioners, then Waspi women, then Grangemouth workers, now Labour will punish the disabled and the chronically ill. Funny how it's never the rich who suffer when Starmer makes one of his "tough choices". www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Straight from the horse’s mouth - ‘Scottish’ Labour would never work in Scotland’s interests but would simply dae whit they’re telt by London. A Potemkin party in thrall to another country.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

President Macron, "The Ukrainian president was elected in free elections in Ukraine" "That's not the case with Vladimir Putin, who kills his opponents and has been manipulating his elections for a long time"

This is how it’s done.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

The Guardian is always sniffily pompous about the SNP. The Guardian view on Scottish Labour: a defining moment for Anas Sarwar. Is anyone able to write them an explanatory letter to the Editor about the inaccuracy of their incessant slurs on Scotland’s health and education sectors?

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

Trump is on Putin's side. That's it. That's the story and if you are on Trump and Putin's side then you're on the side of murder, fear, war and autocracy. Find it absolutely staggering that some people who you'd expect so much more of are cheering this nightmare on

Two superpowers opening discussions on the future of a country which one of them is still invading, without that country

“Overall, Bank of Spain analysis suggests immigration contributed over 20% to the near 3% GDP per capita income growth during 2022-2024.” There is a choice, you see. ~AA www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

An AirBnB cofounder is joining Elon Musk’s team of treasonous rats. A very good reason to stop using AirBnB. www.newsweek.com/airbnb-joe-g...

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

This is such an excellent example of 'jumping to conclusions' instead of asking someone who can explain it - in this case, in under one minute.

🔥 NEW: “Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is wrong to stick to Labour’s “red lines” of keeping the UK out of the European single market and the customs union.” I agree entirely.

Fellow scientists, when you see dis/misinformation on here, call it out. Or share responsibility for the consequences. These are dark days. 🧪

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

“We are Europe.. We are in Europe.. We see our future in the European Union" Volodymyr Zelenskyy

It’s not politics as usual - and pretending that it is just makes us look weak and scared, with little agency and no self-conviction.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

I'd say the biggest forces "undermining our nation from within" are the fake patriots loudly cheering on these attacks on our country by a hostile foreign government

If the UK Government want to prevent people from making dangerous journeys in order to seek asylum, they should refocus their efforts on providing safe routes for people who currently have no other choice. scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk/refugees-pre...

🔥 Please reshare this important statement on Ukraine from the governments of Germany, France, UK, Poland, Italy and Spain. Europe stands with Ukraine. 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

Trump stands there glowing orange, talking dangerously ignorant, incoherent shite through his puckered little mouth with his ketamine-soaked puppet master dancing around him and Putin and Netanyahu smiling and nodding… Grotesque. Intolerable. And so very damaging for America and the world.
