If Keir Starmer wants a positive relationship with the Scottish Government, he needs to get his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water.

Funny. I would have expected the "Free Speech Union" and the other self-proclaimed defenders of free expression to be all over this. But 🦗🦗🦗
How strange.

Parliament will vote TODAY on proscribing Palestine Action as a TERRORIST ORGANISATION like ISIS.
Can we get to 100,000 signatures against before the day is over?

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

🌳 Une fois de plus, la droite conservatrice (PPE) et l’extrême droite s’allient pour saboter le #PacteVert.
Aujourd’hui, ils ont voté contre l’acte d’exécution du règlement #DéforestationImportée ⚠️
J’ai saisi la @EU_Commission pour protéger ce texte essentiel.
Nous ne céderons pas.

How many countries does Israel have to bomb before Europe stops cooperating with the terrorist Israeli state ?

What research you say?...

A large number of Palestinians are hemmed in to a crowded caged queuing system under the watch of US or Israeli guards, desperate to receive food
You don't need to be a prophet.
Images like this - of starved Palestinians hammed into fenced cages by Israel - will be remembered for generations as hideous evidence of a terrible crime.
And history will remember not just those who cheered it on, but those who stayed silent.
Menacé par Trump, Bruce Springsteen donne de la voix : «L’Amérique que j’aime est aux mains d’un gouvernement corrompu, incompétent et perfide»
En concert à Lille samedi 24 mai, le «Boss» a de nouveau étrillé le président américain, lequel l’insulte, le calomnie et tente désormais l’intimidation.
Personne n’a voté pour sacrifier la nature 🌳
C’est pourtant ce que le MR et les Engagés font. Retour en arrière sur :
❌ la protection des forêts
❌ l’adaptation
❌ la biodiversité
❌ les plans climat
❌ la mobilité
❌ l’isolation

In 3 months, bluefin tuna will be migrating back into our waters, where they'll be met with a fleet of commercial and recreational* fishers. It's a horrible way to welcome these magnificent, charismatic creatures. Let's try to get this to 250,000 before they arrive.

155,000 of us came together to #SaveLochLomond.
SEPA, the National Trust for Scotland, Woodland Trust, Ramblers & the National Park's planning experts all objected to Flamingo Land.
But Government officials have still approved this destructive mega-resort.

Des enfants meurent de faim à Gaza parce que l’aide humanitaire est bloquée.
La famine est utilisée comme une arme de guerre.
L’Union européenne doit briser le blocus en envoyant une flotte humanitaire. Ecolo lance une pétition pour l’exiger.

People are being starved. Govt of Israel, lift your blockade now.
The proposed plan violates humanitarian principles. It’s rejected by UN agencies & humanitarian partners.
Humanitarian aid must never be politicised or militarised. A political solution is the only way forward.
