Just posted by President Zelenskyy

Kristen Michal Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia 👏

Under SNP leadership.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen 👏

This was live and public extortion by bullies who don't have a millionth of the courage or dignity Zelenskyy has. One of the most disgusting things

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

This, from the Guardian US, was published at 11.00 GMT, when I checked the Guardian again at 12.55 it had already gone. They don't leave anything critical of transphobia up for very long. Unless you saw it in that 1h 55m window, you need to go two layers through the Opinion Section to find it.

🌟Good morning. Here’s today’s content from #BrandScotland showcasing Scotland as a fantastic place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Please share. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌍

"The limits of devolution are revealed once again. Holyrood has no power to affect this momentous change to the Scottish economy." www.believeinscotland.org/uk_governmen...

New book by RFK Jr, a sequel to his first book, The Very Hungry Brain Caterpillar.

Spread this far and wide. What WM don't want you to know.... www.thenational.scot/business/174...

The 2021 Holyrood voting figures for where I live are so clear it's worth reposting this. SNP 1 Scottish Greens 2 The best way to fill Holyrood with indy MSPs by far.

www.thenational.scot/news/2496571... This is what we should be doing instead of cutting foreign aid

The Scottish budget just passed, despite containing measures to mitigate the axing of the winter fuel payment & the 2 child benefit cap, Labour MSPs abstained even though they claim to support these things. Siri: Show me an example of spinelessness.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Morning Bluesky. Apparently “long-term shareholder value” is important. More important than the planet, our children, our children’s children and the human race in its entirety. Who knew?

NEW: Scotland’s First Minister hopes to “lock out” Reform UK from Holyrood as he called a cross-party summit

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Dear BBC So much coverage of EX Labour MP Mike Amesbury yet so little mention of this....anyone would think your executive board was biased....🤔 news.sky.com/story/ex-ref...

You first.

So MAGA / Trump voters?! 🤔🤔🤔

GOTTA LOVE MACRON! ❤️✨

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

A formal complaint has been raised against BBC Scotland after the station's five day coverage of the NHS Fife 'trans tribunal' story. The complaint alleges 'bias by omission' for a failure to inform the public of a similar court case raised by nurses in England. Please RT folks.

Nearly at 9,000 signatures now on the petition asking M&S to pull their ads from GB News - let's keep this going! actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

Love this ❤️

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, just demolished Donald Trump in the Oval Office while supporting Ukraine, wanting Russia to pay, and fact checking Donald during their meeting. 🍿

Read Carole Cadwalladr! She's been telling us for years.

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

Do you regularly shit-talk Scotland? Then the Labour Party is for you! Hate Scotland? So do we! Love gongs and support the class system, so do we! Pretend to be left of centre when you are really righty-tighty right wing? Yes we are almost as bad as Reform. Smash the left Labour hate the poor.

In 2019 Nigel Farage's Brexit Party voted against plans to tackle Russian propaganda, calling claims of Russian interference "scare stories" One of his MEPs was Nathan Gill, who has just been accused in court of taking bribes in exchange for defending Russia in the European Parliament

The grandmother in question is 7 years younger than Toby Young. And they were simply informing her that a complaint had been made.

Unredacted 👍

So this man, could fail to be elected, but be selected as an MSP anyway. Then, as leader of the third or fourth largest party, could decree whether or not the Scottish People can be consulted on how we wish to be governed? www.thenational.scot/news/2495694... And they tell us we're not a colony.

Sarwar on BBC saying 1 in 6 is on a waiting list is a lie 11% are on a waiting list in Scotland which is 1 in 9 Meanwhile in Wales after decades of Labour incompetence 25.3% are on a waiting list which is 1 in 4 You can’t believe a word that charlatan says

Another Banksy style classic.

Petition to M&S asking them to stop advertising on GB News: actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

Viceroy Sarwar says we won't be “allowed” to conduct a democratically-mandated referendum. Is there any other country in the world whose people aren't “allowed” to debate and vote on their own future? North Korea, maybe? www.thenational.scot/news/2495694...

NEW: President Zelenskyy is asked if he'd “give up” being Ukrainian president in exchange for peace. “Yes, I am happy, if it is for the peace of Ukraine. If you need me to leave this chair, I am ready to do that, and I also can exchange it for Nato membership for Ukraine."

Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism" Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?" Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"

Marks & Spencer says that they’re “celebrating the LGBTQ+ community”, and that “we only work with suppliers who share our values” Yet they continue to support the hate delivered by GB News. Contradictory values = zero values. actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @stopfundinghate.bsky.social

“Because Scots does not have a recognised standard spoken form today, many believe that the various dialects spoken here are dialects of English. They are in fact dialects of Scots and form an unbroken continuum with the language which was the national tongue of the Middle Ages."

Great to see Unions condemning Scottidh Labour's play for Farage seig heilers.

"He (Anas Sarwar) also said that he would not have supported the Gender Recognition Reform Bill at Holyrood “knowing what we know now.” Bylines Scotland requested clarity as to what it is that we know now, but did not receive a response."

Jackie Baillie will be talking about this positive Scottish NHS outcome. www.gov.scot/news/pledge-...

He nails it.
