To be fair, watching BBC news is like having your scrotum sandpapered by Farage’s prize gimp so the S&M comparison is apt

This is delicious

Wow, you don’t like being challenged dear do you!

As a socialist why would you be supporting Labour!

You do realise you are basically saying please don’t have a referendum because you don’t want independence and don’t want a democratic decision that you don’t agree with

So basically sit down shut up and you’ll have had your democracy Scotland!

That's racism. Plain and simple.

No other word for it.

It's shocking beyond belief that this sort of thing is somehow acceptable.

Telegraph: Lucy Powell saying “Because let’s be honest, we’ve let Farage and his ilk run away with it. He wants to blame immigration for all the country’s problems. We reject that” is a *direct repudiation* of Starmer on immigration.

Criticism as Reform-led council set to spend £75,000 on new flags The council says union jack flags will be flown in 82 locations in a bid to foster

75,000 on 150 flags? Some vendor (I am sure, entirely unconnected to the Reform councillors) is making a very patriotic killing.

Peebles High School was having an open day today so old students could take a last look around before it gets demolished. The new school next door is part of The SNP Scottish Government's £2bn Learning Estate Investment Programme 👏

I spotted these inspiration cards on a classroom wall...

Labour promised "hundreds - more than a thousand" jobs for Aberdeen in the GB Energy HQ...

Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black people, full of Asian people, full of anything other than white"

Followed by that time Sarah Pochin said, "My kids say: mum, you're such a moron" 👀

AHAHAHAHAHA!

You do know he tears strips of the opposition at FMQs every week don’t you?

Surely as a teacher the focus on child poverty which is reducing in Scotland but increasing in England and Wales is positive?

Labour’s choice: Tack left and dump Starmer or go full ‘Make England Great Again’ The Caerphilly by-election signals imminent destruction for Labour, but rather than take the necessary action, the party will just head further…

Labour lost Scotland a long time ago now. Starmer, if he is not removed from power, may well go down in history as the man who didn’t just lose Wales as well, but killed the Labour Party and dug the grave of the union

"Are you accusing me of being a Nazi" asks a BlueSky user who was called "RupertLoweFan1488" and had just said he likes both Rupert Lowe and Adolf Hitler, but did not choose between them.

The by-election result from Caerffili/Caerphilly tells us some important things

1. Reform can be beaten with a progressive alternative.
2. Labour is lost if it doesn't abandon Starmer's move to the right and return to the left.
3. The Tories are dead and beyond repair.

British media today: Plaid Cymru wins a seat in Wales. What does this mean for ENGERLAND and Nigel FARAGE

This has been happening to SNP for 20 years, mainly from BBC but all others too.

Now Wales are seeing it then perhaps some exposure of the oligarchy-owned press will be exposed

Hey @reuters.com What a journalistic FAIL. Bottom of the class

You’d never in a million years think that Plaid Cymru won from your headlining - not ReFuk

Who writes this junk?

Rip Off Britain!

'Scotland now has historic opportunity,' say SNP after seismic Plaid Cymru by-election triumph

You can bet if the SNP do too well for WM's liking and end up with a decent majority next year the conversation on the BBC the day after will be the same - not on an SNP win. The BBC seriously don't like their favoured status quo being disturbed - it takes them into different, unfamiliar territory.

Labour have a majority in Westminster with a lower vote share

Scotland voted 62% remain but got dragged out of the EU

Either make a case for the union or stop complaining about a system that doesn’t suit your preferences regarding Scotland but does for the UK

FACT CHECK: Scottish Tories claim SNP 'spent £1m flying ferry staff to Turkey' SNP ministers have blown "£1 million flying staff to Turkey to keep tabs on the ferries being built there" – Sue Webber, Tory MSP and…

Porkies.

Are Tories right that SNP 'spent £1 million flying ferry staff to Turkey'?

Local leaders and citizens challenge Trump’s ICE in Chicago

The politicians of Chicago are joining protest organisers in the battle against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Steve Bannon says Trump will be President in 2028, dismisses the 22nd amendment and says, "We need to finish what we started"

Good luck USA 👍

And I guess his 2028 inauguration will be in the ballroom he's building 🤷‍♂️

The only time I’m tempted to have a look at Twitter is to see how the bent Tory client media spins something like being so wrong about the China spy business. And the only time I’m grateful to people here showing me what’s happening on Twitter is when they show me how the bent Tory client media… etc

went to Caerphilly on byelection day. Where *was* candidate Llŷr Powell, ex-colleague of Russian puppet Nathan Gill? And what did Plaid Cymru's Lindsay Whittle say?
