How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds

Charlie Kirk Was An Anti-Ukraine, Pro-Putin Apologist Terrell J Starr Official is a reader-supported publication.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist, he was a reliable pro-Putin talking head who repeatedly spread disinformation about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In my latest Substack piece, I explain why his white nationalism was so useful for Russian propaganda. #ukrainianview

Charlie Kirk Was An Anti-Ukraine, Pro-Putin Apologist Terrell J Starr Official is a reader-supported publication.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t only a racist. He was one of the most anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian voices in MAGA. He propagandised xenophobia about the border to justify withdrawing military support for Ukraine.

Scotland, Atlantic slavery and the Scottish National Party: From colonised to coloniser in the political imagination Over the last three decades, a major shift has taken place in Scottish nationalist understandings of Scotland's colonial past. During the second half of the twentieth century, independence supporters....

Scotland’s NOT as a ‘colony’ - ahistorical & insults folks from Scotland’s colonies.

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.

The SNP now projected to win an outright majority in next year’s Holyrood election. Labour collapse as hard line unionists migrate to Reform. Tories reduced to a rump.

The Scotch Whisky Association was founded in LONDON, over 100 years ago. Scotch whisky has been a Westminster cashcow, for 200 YEARS!

Palestine Action gets green light for ban challenge PALESTINE Action will be able to challenge the UK Government’s ban on the organisation under terror laws.

Time to unban Palestine Action now. Sadly today’s Judge didn’t grant temporary halt to the proscription meaning activists will be arrested for holding PA signs. As Amnesty, Greenpeace, the UN’s Volker Turk all agree: It’s anti democratic & shuts down free speech. www.thenational.scot/news/2535297...

Will Scotland have a wall at the border if they leave?

High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England's great artificial water crisis of 2025 | George Monbiot In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

High water bills, filthy rivers, now drought. England’s water crisis created by privatisation.

1989 - 2023: No shareholder investment.
Investment funded by customers.
19% of water lost to leaks.
£82.4bn cash extracted.
Water bills up 360%.

Govt opposes public ownership. Looting continues.

Genius! Bravo Scotland!

The PIP and UC bill is an attack on disabled people.

I will be voting against the bill today to make clear disabled people matter and that I recognise the additional costs of navigating a world built for neurotypical, healthy people.
