A true American leader speaks.

I wish Starmer had been as clear.

That’s brilliant. I took a (not as good as that) photo of Jupiter but I couldn’t make out the moons at the time.

Probably the same moon 1834 this evening from #Benbecula, #Scotland 😂

Good thread. The Green Party can look forward to the same treatment SNP have endured from the media, including the BBC, and the London based parties for years. The good news for the Greens is that, looking at the current polls, it doesn’t seem to have worked.

Amazon isn’t allowing me to buy anything (maybe not a bad thing!) and isn’t allowing me to report the issue. Anyone else?

Reform pretending we didn't campaign about social issues.
Also nonsense that Gaza is not a top issue for the people of Gorton and Denton. The Gaza genocide is enabled because we have an islamophobic Labour government funded by Israel.

So sorry Sir KidStarver that your were gubbed by that woke lefty lot. The Deform guys let you down. Commiserations to the BBC as well. Hopefully Jackie Sarwar will triumph in Scotland in a few weeks time. You will come up to knock on doors, won’t you?

Drop in overseas workers is ‘car crash’ for UK hospitals and care homes, say experts Care roles hit particularly hard by UK’s lurch to the right on migration, according to analysis of Home Office data

Yes, we need immigrants and should be welcoming them, not stirring up hate and creating an ever more hostile environment.

London parties please take note.

Powers Less - Indy PosterBoy Did you know that Westminster doesn't permit the Scottish Government any power over Broadcasting, Constitution, Defence & Security, Employment, Energy,

Why can't Scotland benefit from its 'cheapest power in Europe'? Because energy control, 'national' network, policy and pricing are all controlled by Westminster, like so much else. Scots have zero control over our own resource. #Scotland #Holyrood26 indyposterboy.scot/powers-less/

Stephen Gethins MP is right - it has been reported that the majority of the public want to rejoin the EU, and it’s time for the Government to listen. Our future lies in Europe, not just aligning with them.

PSNI admits illegally keeping journalist data and family names In September MI5 conceded it had breached Vincent Kearney's source protection and privacy rights by accessing his communications data.

It’s not just Labour together who were snooping on journalists.

Really feels like we need a proper investigation into how journalists have been surveilled and smeared

It would be "fine" if Israel took the entire Middle East.

That's not the view of some random crackpot.

It's the view of the US Ambassador to Israel.

A MP during the “humble address“ today (I can’t remember who) referred to M-W as a “former member of the royal family“. He’s a current member no matter how hard they try to distance themselves from him. He’s the king’s brother.

No and only a couple of plain clothes cops and a white car to transport Mandelson. Very low key compared to the Murrell investigation. Just underlines how political that investigation was and still is.

When members of the London establishment are arrested the police come politely in nice suits and take them away in unmarked cars.
No blue tents.
No blue lights.
No uniformed police outside their home for days.
Are they a better class of criminals and deserve special treatment?

Starmer has repeatedly called out specific Russian war crimes but when he's asked to do the same for Israeli war crimes he says its not the role of politicians to do that.
