New petition: "Government to only issue contracts to organisations that have a DEI policy" Deadline 27 September 2025, created by David Durant #NewPetition

Here's your first look at tomorrow's front page 📰 'A new era of austerity' 🥀

The Covid-19 Enquiry. "Westminster diverted vital PPE, ordered for Scotland by Scottish Health Boards to go to England instead. They told British Embassies to withdraw support for Scottish firms trying to source PPE abroad." YES St. Andrews

Westminster ORDERED embassies to withdraw support from Scottish government PPE suppliers ORDERED to prioritise England over Scotland If you're ##Undecided, how does it feel to know your children's lives are less important? I'm pro #ScottishIndependence & this makes my blood boil. #YouYesYet?

Tartan Week began courtesy of a particularly unsavoury Senator. I admit to covering it. It's become a very pale imitation of our Irish cousins' bash. Time to reassess its economic value.

It's 5 yrs today since lockdown started in England, but "We must never have lockdown again" is the wrong lesson. Lockdowns are terrible but so are deadly pandemics. Our choices 5 years ago were limited - we can & must do better in the future. Do read my post. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Regret after a knee or hip surgery runs at around 8% to 10%. The gender affirming care regret rate is under 1%. This goes out to transphobes using regret as a metric to ban all gender affirming care. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Where is sarwar. Are you concocting a lie of how the SNP are to blame for the shitshow in Birmingham? Red tory liar sarwar

Scotland responds to the news that Nicola Sturgeon has been cleared by Police Scotland and there will be no charges against her.

Nicola Sturgeon should announce that she's changed her mind about stepping down from Holyrood, just to make the usual suspects go into meltdown.

Grangemouth has a proud industrial heritage, and I will leave no stone unturned to secure its long-term future. Project Willow shows what’s possible - with our £87m investment and working together with the private sector, we can create good jobs and grow Scotland’s economy.

These latest genocidal actions by Israel suggest the ceasefire was a strategy to draw Palestinians out so they'd be easier to kill. 🇵🇸 With military equipment supplied by our government. That's British Values according to Sir Keir Starmer... www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Faiza Shaheen, "The Good Law project did work aroudn where donations are coming from" "60% of Wes Streeting's donations since 2015 have come from companies or individuals linked to private health care" #BBCQT

All of Elon Musk's tens of billions of loans are linked to Tesla, if it goes bankrupt so will he and all his other companies.

Nice work in Tottenham

“Hello, @Keir_Starmer, you won't remember me, but this is you & I campaigning some time back. I was the guy in the wheelchair who asked whether you'd protect we #disabled after 14 years of Tory persecution. You told me yes. You've betrayed me.” - Tim Boxall, former Labour supporter

Sharing with the heaviest of hearts 😔🇺🇦

‼️ A freedom of information request reveals that Anas Sarwar has failed to engage with the UK Government regarding Grangemouth since the election. ❌ This comes as no surprise given his silence on Grangemouth redundancies, after promising to save their jobs during the UK election campaign.

I'd like to thank Keir Starmer and the Labour party for teaching me that I am not in fact a person with significant disabilities which seriously affect my ability to function. I am actually a workshy scrounger who needs to be harangued & bullied and I and those like me deserve to starve.

Hahahahaha! Snort!

When lockdowns started, people said: “this is what your life is like all the time? I had no idea!” They seemed to understand how hard it is to be disabled & housebound. I found support & empathy. Then they got bored. Wanted their “normal” back. Support vanished & disabled people were left behind.
