Watch this montage of clips from Israel's Channel 14, filled with racist and genocidal bile, shocking stuff, ask yourself why you don't see these clips on US or UK mainstream news, and then read Prem's deep dive for Zeteo into Channel 14:

The EU’s values of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law and respect for human rights are the values of Scotland.

The best future for Scotland is rejecting the folly of Brexit and rejoining the European Union as a member state.

Scotland has everything, yet it
has nothing to show for it all or call it's own

Scotland is considered one of the richer countries in Europe in terms of natural resources. 👇

Think of the income from those 1.4m homes!
#VoteForScotland!
There are 2.54m households in Scotland… that income could halve our bills!

Let me get this straight: the Cass review wasn’t peer-reviewed yet was relied on by the government for major policy decisions - but now a critique of that review has been peer-reviewed and published, giving it more authority. Will government now be relying on this for policy? We all know the answer.

Immigrants have not made incalculable damage to UK.
If you go by credit rating UK had credit rating of AAA until 2016 (Brexit), downgraded again after disastrous Truss Budget to AA-

Why no acknowledgement at all of Scotland's moves on universal free breakfast and lifting of 2 child cap?
You need to change your title to Good Morning England.

Right-wing push to dismantle the EU: Heritage Foundation’s private workshop After seizing control of the US government, the Heritage Foundation turns its attention to the EU

Trump, Putin, Farage, and rogue EU member states are pushing to dismantle the EU, to usher in Sovereign corporations that will be run by unelected CEOs.

British Steel live: Parliament recalled for emergency debate on the future of Scunthorpe A source says the UK government is looking

Absolutely correct to save British Steel. But fuck you bigly Scottish Grangemouth. Oil producing Jockland can just lose our only refinery. Truth is. London doesn't give a shit about helping Scotland. London just takes from Scotland. Better Together was always utter BS.

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face.

For that he didn't get fired, but he did get a peerage.

All entry points into Gaza are closed. At the border, food is rotting. Medicine is expiring. Vital medical equipment is stuck.

If the basic principles of humanitarian law still count, the international community must act to uphold them.

So many reasons for #ScottishIndependence

Well, economics are important but folk vote with the heart as well as the head.

We need to understand the economics but make the case for #ScottishIndependence with a positive burst of hope, pride, and potential.

The craven idiocy of Sarwar and Starmer Regular readers of this blog will be well aware that I have a very low opinion of Labour’s branch manager in Scotland, the current – but soon to be former – claimant to the throne…

'This is not the first time Sarwar has called for closer alignment with MAGA. At Labour's Scottish conference he called for a Musk-style Department of Government Efficiency in Scotland, a call received in stunned silence even by that tame audience.'

Why is the Labour government considering nationalising British Steel's Scunthorpe plant owned by Chinese owner Jingye.

When that option wasn't open to either Grangemouth or Port Talbot, both equally important to the Scottish and Welsh economies.

A strong judiciary is vital for preserving democracy The notion that by exercising its crucial role to keep political corruption in check, the French judiciary is attacking democracy is a perversion of…

Le Pen's ban from running for office is neither an attack on democracy nor a boon for the far-right. It is a move by an independent judiciary to uphold the rule of law, protect the public from political corruption, and shore up French liberal democracy.

My latest for @heraldscotland.bsky.social:

‘It could’ve been much worse’: how UK avoided a bigger blow from Trump tariffs No 10 has been criticised for ‘sucking up’ to Donald Trump, but believes its defensive strategy has been vindicated

Just how did the UK ending up getting the exact same US tariffs as other countries according to the formula?

So many delusions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mystery still surrounds the death of Willie McRae 40 years after he was found in the Highlands The death of the prominent lawyer, former soldier, anti-nuclear campaigner and SNP vice-chairman in 1985 is one of the great mysteries in Scottish political history.

40 years ago, and still the mystery lives on and no Fatal Accident Enquiry. Why is that? One of Scotland's finest sons dies in strange circumstances yet so many questions... www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle...

BILLY BRAGG 'Independence is not about nationalism, it's about greater self-determination. Scottish independence throws up the possibility of a more progressive England. We won’t be British any more, we’ll be English.'

Absolutely spot on. Good neighbours with a pride in the policies advocated on their behalf by politicians of their choosing.
