Brexit explained

The Welsh Local Government Association has praised councils in Wales for the ‘vital role’ they have played in welcoming and supporting refugees and asylum seekers

100% 👏👏

Plaid Cymru has cautioned the UK Government against being dragged into a ‘potentially catastrophic’ conflict in the Middle East and demanded the UK Parliament must have a say on any proposals for military action

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere. Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid?

Who'd have thought Germany was standing up to dictatorship when the United States is failing?

🇵🇸 What’s happening in Gaza is unacceptable and cannot continue. Scotland doesn’t represent itself on the world stage - but where we do have the power, we’ll not shy away from being a voice for peace👇

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on June 17 that the G7 summit had produced concrete results for Ukraine, including increased military support, new tranches of aid using frozen Russian assets, and additional sanctions targeting the sources of Russia’s war effort.

I often wonder why the SNP do not make more of this? "Every public service in Scotland is performing better than those in other parts of the UK but Reporting Scotland platform the opposition to claim the SNP cannot be trusted." talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/06/16/e...

The monarchy costs enough to fund free school meals for over a million children - every year. But instead of feeding kids, we're choosing to fund crowns, carriages and courtiers. #AbolishTheMonarchy #NotMyKing

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Thing is Ed, thing is, Keir. Scotland is already energy secure!

🔴How the Media is Trying to Talk a Nigel Farage Government Into Reality Why for much of the British press, the unlikely story of Reform UK's rise to power is simply "too good to check" www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-me...

This is why and thousands of other Scots won't buy a TV licence - why pay to be fed bias?

This is massive. #IsraelIsAGenocidalState

For Reals

Tomorrow, voters in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse will have first say on the choice that all of us in Scotland will face next year: #VoteSNP to stop the party of Nigel Farage. Let’s not give the far-right a foothold. Vote SNP to keep The Scottish Parliament Farage-free.

Forget all the fake heroes you see on TV who are completely silent on Palestine, here are two real ones, Greta Thunberg and Liam Cunningham, standing up for humanity.

"Nigel Farage wants to leave the ECHR to make YOU considerably poorer. No state pension. No minimum wage. No state benefits. No maternity pay. No holiday pay. No sick pay. And ultimately, no NHS. Nigel Farage is not on your side. Wake-up!" via Sarah

If Westminster rule delivers terrible outcomes under the Tories, no discernible philosophy or change under Labour, and the prospect of Farage as Prime Minister, what exactly is the case for Scotland remaining part of the UK?

The second and third largest parties in Holyrood are the Tories and Labour. Yet the BBC excuses them from it's election candidates debate in favour of Reform. Which has no MSPs. Remarkable bias from the British national public broadcaster. www.thenational.scot/news/2519963...

Man of the people? The millionaire, right-wing, private schooled, city banker, who claims an EU parliament pension and pays his taxes in Belgium? You've been had by this grifter. Wake up and smell the Rubles!

The prospect of Reform entering Holyrood poses a direct threat to Scottish devolution. ‼️ Farage has made his contempt for devolution very clear – and Labour is too weak to stop him. 👇

I used to be signed up to YouGov but, having initially declared my political affiliations, I soon realised that I was never included in surveys that might portray Scotland, or the SNP government in a good light. The polls are rigged.

The man of the people, Nigel Farage.

Every prospective Reform voter need to know ... meme via Making Society A Better Place

Ask your local Reform candidate: "Are you in favour of millionaires avoiding paying tax?"

As the Scotsman today plays with the statistics on knife crime to fake a problem, the facts say otherwise: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/19/k...
