30 years ago today these children went to school in Dunblane, Scotland & never came home.
At the time Farage called the handgun ban that was brought in 'overkill' (there have been no such school shootings in the uk since).
This week farage is campaigning to restore the right to own handguns.

X: Why are so many organisations leaving? Many organisation have recently announced that they will no longer be posting on their X accounts.

Brilliant to see so many leading organisations in Northern Ireland - like Queens University and Belfast City Council - quitting Twitter as it’s incompatible with their values.

Maybe Scotland could learn a lesson here and do the decent thing too…?

Delighted to see the vindication of Scotland's position here - not just ScotGov, the policy was approved by Parliament as a whole.

It was deliberately wrecked by bully tactics of a right wing UK govt that was willing to sacrifice our environment, our economy and people's jobs, for petty politics.

Wes Streeting blaming doctors for the chaos from rising flu cases #C4News

Wes Streeting did not offer covid or flu boosters to everyone who wanted one

Wes Streeting did not care enough to ensure clean indoor air in schools, workplaces, hospitality

Both would have brought down cases significantly

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

A senior Reform member who was their leader in Wales has pleaded guilty to 8 charges of bribery.

He took money from someone connected with the Russian Secret Service to make positive statements about Russia in the EU Parliament when an MEP.

So it's clear:

Vote Reform. Get Putin. Become a traitor.

Reading much tonight on Charlie Kirk, who he was, what he said and believed -- from both admirers and those deeply opposed. It does not matter. None of it. What matters is that political violence made routine against any voice, left or right, marks us as a failing, dying republic.
This is horror.

Keir Starmer slammed for treating Israeli president 'like old friends' at meeting Keir Starmer has been condemned for treating the Israeli president "like old friends" at a meeting on Wednesday ...

Every government and every leader who cares about human rights and the genocide in Gaza should be cutting their political and military ties to Israel.

Keir Starmer's response to the collective punishment of over two million people has been a grotesque failure of moral leadership.

Don't be fooled. The only reason anyone would want to leave the European Convention of Human Rights is so that they can abuse the rights of people less fortunate than themselves. The only reason.

Local groups struggle as windpower drive heats up For the local news and events in the Western Isles, We Love Stornoway connects our island communities, highlighting key happenings and sharing positive stories.

Given the massive public benefit of community-owned energy projects it's absolutely dispiriting to learn that they are being messed about and deprioritisied in favour of large corporate players in the Hebrides. Absolutely the wrong policy.

Farage says Putin is the world leader is most admires

Just a reminder to all Reform supports that in 2014, Farage said Putin is the world leader he most admires!

Another reason to prevent Farage getting any power!

"On Saturday 366 people were arrested for carrying placards showing their support of a proscribed terrorist organisation, Palestine Action.
A couple of weeks ago, nobody was arrested for carrying flags showing their support for The UVF, a proscribed terrorist group.
Why the difference?"

The billionaire CEO of the third richest company on the planet gives the President an actual block of gold so his company is exempted from US Government tariffs. And the whole thing is broadcast live on TV.

Anyone who can't see what is happening to this country is unsalvageable at this point.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Perhaps you could begin pointing out that Reform intend to privatise healthcare. A policy that will lead to many thousands having to make the same choice as Tim Hull.
