@novaramedia.com explains the story about Labour Together was broken by the @scotnational.bsky.social last September. So how come it wasn't picked up by the msm then like it is now?
Because back then the targets were on the left & as far as the msm is concerned, the left are legitimate targets

The US under Trump is increasingly becoming a rogue state, from invading Venezuela to threatening Greenland. Scotland must not be complicit in his crimes.

when the government wants to do something bad they always present it as time sensitive and something that must be rushed through as fast as possible
this social media ban is a prime example
they obviously don't want to give organisations, charities, and support groups time to look at it closely

The Zonal Betrayal: How Labour is Carving Up Britain for Corporate Profiteering
From electricity to groceries to entire regions - the systematic dismantling of transparent pricing and democratic sovereignty
Zonal carve-outs; Freeports, SEZs, AI Growth Zones, impacts everything you buy, including your weekly shop. Algorithmic price discrimination threatens to return us to a pre-modern system where every transaction changes from customer to customer.

The UK is on track for a Reform majority government. This would be a disaster for Scotland's economy, society, and environment.
There's only one thing we can do about it. Independence.

US secretary of state Marco Rubio has skipped a meeting with allies on the war in Ukraine, stoking fears in European capitals that Washington's interest in involving them in its efforts to end the conflict was waning
www.ft.com/content/fdd6...
"It's confirming our allies' worst fears.
They're on their own... they're reluctantly coming to accept that when Trump says Europe is on its own, he means it," US Democratic senator Peter Welch told the FT.
"People have such a hard time here believing that the country that played this role in liberating Europe and built the Marshall Plan and alliances is turning its back. And doing it by accommodating Russia."
I think the Americans have been admirably blunt in saying they want us to give them lots of money and go fascist, like they are, or else. I donโt think they left much room for misinterpretation.

People correctly perceive that this system is hugely stacked in favour of people who already have lots of assets, at their expense. So the business of politics for decades has been relentlessly terrorising people into believing theyโre being fucked by their neighbours and various minority groups.

This illustrates nicely a point l've come back to a few times: Trump was unusually reliant, for a Republican, on lower income voters in
2024. They believed he would help them. He hasn't. And that's a big reason why his approval ratings are so bad.
Patrick Flynn @patrickjfl.bsky.... โข8m
Trump approval is now sharply correlated with voters' perceived financial positions, a pattern which holds among his own voters.
Itโs the same as itโs been my entire life in Britain: people correctly sensing that the system is stacked against them and that theyโre getting fucked, being misdirected by lying swine against each other.
