All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

For over 4 YEARS I have campaigned to our Government to END the DISCRIMINATION of #deaf #athletes.

The 'Scottish' media is, to a large extent, the campaigning arm of WM rule of Scotland. Between now & May 2026 it will spin every positive story about Scotland as a negative one, and where that's impossible, will not report positives at all. Try other sources.

Day after day the UK government ministers put down the SNP. The party with the majority in Scotland, the party most Scots vote for. They do not respect us in the slightest and have even less respect in our choices. Every day

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

There are many alarming things about Starmer's ID plan, he's creating instruments of state surveillance which he'll hand over to the far right after the next general election. If there's a pro indy majority in Holyrood after 2026, ScotGov needs to hold an indyref & dare Starmer to stop them.

Child poverty in Scotland is lower than 30 years ago and falling, unlike the rest of the UK.

But there is much more to do - by working together, we must deliver more joined-up services for families, when and where they need it.

This is what Whole Family Support is all about.

Scotland’s last chance to escape English nationalism In July 2025, Keir Starmer’s Labour party was elected on a promise of ‘change’, a suitably vacuuous slogan which allowed voters to impute to it whatever they liked. Most hoped for…

“The Scottish Parliament which we elect in May 2026 will be… sitting when the next Westminster general election comes around. That is why it is imperative that next year, Scotland elects… a pro-independence majority. We may never get another chance.”

11 years ago, Scotland was inspired to think big. To imagine a better future, in our own hands.

Today, the case for independence is stronger than ever.

Independence is the fresh start Scotland needs - with lower bills, a fairer society, and our rightful place in Europe.

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’ Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”. The US president is expected to arrive in the UK on Tuesday night. He will enjoy a huge amount of special treatment as ministers attempt to preserve the special relationship, including a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle for Trump and his wife, Melania.

I don't think Peter Mandelson is PM's biggest problem. The biggest problem is not standing up to the literal violent racism on our streets, supercharged by the richest man in the world, and threatening the very fabric of our society. If he and so many commentators can't see this, we're truly lost.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Check out Scotland where child poverty is being reduced by a fairer tax system. WM Gov will NEVER allow that though, they're owned by private capital.
