The UK's problems are not caused by migrants or refugees.

They are caused by billionaires like Elon Musk.

I think it would have surprised even the most pessimistic if you'd told people during the 2024 campaign that a year into Government Starmer's team would be negatively briefing against the ECHR and Council of Europe for daring to question their assault on trans rights

I simply can't vote for a party who's DFM doesn't believe I should have the same rights as her. And the fact Swinney put her in that position means I won't be voting for SNP until they have leadership in place that acknowledges my existence. Struggling to see change.

The whole world has just been played by everyone of these sh*ts in frame. Mind, I doubt Starmer has the capacity to even realise he has also been played. Btw, Palestine still isn't free.

Trump: "You have Canada. That's so great to have, in fact. The president called and he wanted to know if it's worth -- well he knew exactly what it is. He knew the importance. Where's Canada, by the way? Where are you? He knew the importance of this."

The return of the Israeli hostages is a moment of pure joy for those families.

And a moment of relief for the entire world.

It means that a page can be turned. A new chapter can begin.

Europe fully supports the peace plan brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye.

The Greens are only 23k away from becoming the third largest party based on membership in the UK.

This would see the Green surpass the Conservatives for the first ever time.

If you take into account the Scottish Greens, that would leave only 15k away.

Aye, me too, but they have proven already to be incompetent. The Greens are really the only proper left leaning party remaining. It's them or nothing. Hopefully the clip below shines some light on the hypno thing.

Far too much of Scotland's land is hoarded by a small group of the extremely rich.

But we can change that.

Scottish Greens are working to strengthen the upcoming Land Reform Bill to boost community ownership and put Scotland’s land in Scotland’s hands.

Public 'overwhelmingly' supports bigger changes on land reform, say charities

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.
