Just saw Uma Nada-Rajah’s Black Hole Sign at the Tron. Really glad to see this work being made. Feels pertinent in every way. ❤️

Why is Labour so poor at regicide & deposing terrible leaders? The party has in recent decades abandoned all the main tenets of labourism but still clings to one last tenet: that the party does not overthrow disastrous leaders. Why does Lab still cling to this under Starmer?

Nobody knows what Keir Starmer stands for & believes in. He has no vision or purpose. But there is as big a malaise at the heart of this Labour government which goes beyond Starmer. What does it stand for except to not be Corbyn, Tories or Farage? #Newsnight

Nigel Farage encouraging far-right violence on asylum seekers once again.

Oh no, this is the Starmer.

Utter scumbag.

Work to start on £8million Gaelic cultural centre on Skye Preliminary work is set to start in the next few weeks on a Gaelic language and culture centre which will help protect and develop the language in…

Brilliant to see work about to begin on the community owned Ionad Thròndairnis / Trotternish Centre in Staffin, which will be a focus for Gaelic language and culture. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2528514...

PIP helps people get by in their day to day lives – with essentials like getting washed and dressed, managing medicines, eating and drinking, and mobility.

Labour continues to target those who can afford it least, throwing lives into turmoil and pushing many into poverty.

Welcome to Farage World. Provided to you by the BBC & the public purse via licence payers. Not exactly "public service broadcasting."

No independence referendum while I am Prime Minister, says Keir Starmer THE Prime Minister has dismissed a second independence referendum for Scotland ...

This is a decision for the people of Scotland, not Keir Starmer.

Labour has lost the argument - the latest poll shows 54% in favour of independence. But instead of making their case to the public, they've decided to block the democratic process.

When landowners say they it doesn’t matter who owns land but instead it is how it is managed that matters, I always ask if I can have their land & they can continue to manage it. I have had no takers yet.

This is an important story about the UK Govt & its policy on Israel & the war in Gaza. No other UK newspaper has put it on its front page. Well done @scotnational.bsky.social doing what no one else would do.

Typical of Labour to be agonising publicly over scrapping the two child cap or not. Once upon a recent time they would have instinctively gone for the right decision. (And not been so fearful of The Treasury.)

EXC: Labour Together, a think tank tied to the top of the UK Government, has taken more than £1m from donors linked to private healthcare since the General Election

Scottish Labour accused of trying to hide candidate’s link to scandal-hit firm Byelection campaign material does not disclose Davy Russell’s work for company previously accused of data falsification

Scottish Labour does not have its problems to seek out. This has been true for a while. But it gets ridiculous when they are trying to hide their candidate in an important by-election: for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Remember when Michael Gove told us we had to leave EU because it was “time to fire the unelected elites”?

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza."

My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide.

“Liz Kendall who claimed £6k+ in expenses since becoming DWP secretary & lives in a £4m London home, who is paid a massive 160k salary with all her heating bills paid for by the taxpayer, is very angry at people on benefits.”

Former Labour MP turned hard Brexiteer Gisela Stuart selected Friedrich A. Hayek's 'The Road to Serfdom' as her key political visionary text. Hayek's book makes the case for unfettered free market capitalism & is one of the cornerstones of Thatcherism. What a political journey!

Labour's Jackie Baillie publicly defends Keir Stamer's "island of strangers" language on #bbcaq. More votes lost for Scottish Labour now & in the run-in to the 2026 elections.

Helen,

You are my MP.

I have heard you say *nothing* about the deliberate starvation of 1.7M people in Gaza.

This is your responsibility - as 1 of only 650 in our sovereign parliament in a country that can and must comat this now.

And you are an MP in the party of power to boot.

Do something.

NEW: Rachel Reeves visited Scotland today. She refused to speak to any Scottish newspapers

Are you still supporting a Brexit party? In Scotland the only parties supporting #RejoinEU are the Scottish ones - The SNP and Greens.

If you're one of the large majority here who want to rejoin, you know what to do in the 2026 Holyrood election.

On legal justification for tariffs, how is a comedian nailing the explainer better than anyone else?

"Can you really pause an emergency for 90 days, even if the original emergency was fake?"

When 50% of trade is with the EU there is an obvious way to have an economic reset. Not choosing to do so is folly.

Labour plunge 30k children into poverty with two-child cap, report says

NEW: The two-child benefit cap has dragged 30,000 more children into poverty since Labour took office, fresh analysis has indicated

🗣️ 'Every day the policy forces families to go hungry and damages the life chances of children up and down the country'

So Brexit Britain decided to leave EU losing £37 bn worth in trade (OBR). Brexit Britain decided to sign a deal w Aus/Nz that benefits their farmers. Brexit Britain then get punished by Trump tariffs while giving huge US tech tax cuts. Is it me or are the Brexit Brits mad people?

Anti-abortion group active in Scotland receives over £1 million in US funding

The scandal is that Marine Le Pen embezzled €4m of public money for her party's gain and she's got caught and punished. Unlike in America a convicted felon has been banned from standing from public office, unsurprising considering the offence she's been convicted of #r4today

Marine Le Pen to appeal against conviction for embezzlement that means she cannot run for French presidency in 2027 – live French far right leader cannot run for public office for five years after court finds her guilty of embezzlement of European parliament funds
