This is obscene.

That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face.

We are the 99.999%.

I firmly believe that Britain & England in particular are the only country in the world that actually fear being Independent on their own.
The idea that 4 is better than one, Is an antiquated model that may have suited the 19th Century, But is no more fit for purpose in today's modern society.

The BBC ignore everything except what their 2 x genocide enablers tell them to say
We need an independent media here in Scotland for cultural and a feel good factor that would come from truly Scottish produced news and entertainment

This is an example of the BBC ignoring the daily/around 16 emails and press releases given by the SNP Scottish government, choosing instead to highlight or emphasise stories that are potentially damaging to the SNP and allowing opposition parties to wade in with their attacks. No good news allowed.

Meanwhile, a new report by Reporters Without Borders finds Israel has killed more journalists in 2025 than any other country — for the third year running. The report found Israel’s military liable for the deaths of 29 Palestinian journalists, among 67 journalists killed around the world this year.

Hear this Scotland, not a single ‘Scottish’ Labour MP voted to support joining a Customs Union with the EU - every SLABer abstained.
A total of 100 MPs supported: 13 Labour MPs, SNP, LibDems, Plaid Cymru & Greens. Tories, Reform & Ulster unionists voted against reshaping the stupid Brexit settlement

For every halfwit who tries to tell you England's schools did better in Pisa tests this demolishes the argument, no prisoners taken:

Pisa – 33% of Scotland’s schools took part but only 4.7% of England’s schools were confident enough to do so – Scotland did far better
I’m grateful to AR and Haggis Hunter for alerting me to this. The England PISA sample consisted of 201 eligible schools having at least one pupil in this age range. In England, 3,852 pupils f…

"The EU strictly regulates state aid to prevent member states from allocating public subsidies to companies as a profit motive. Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union classifies state aid that distorts competition as illegal".
That's why Starmer won't rejoin the EU.
This just dropped from Dave Powell. Ppl need to pay attention to this stuff. They're selling the UK off for profit and Joe Public will be paying the bill. This is a plan for the wealthy to get even more whilst the rest of us survive in serfdom.

The Palestine hunger strikers in jail are moving into the period where irreversible damage can be done and death becomes a real danger.

I had not understood how serious the situation is.

None of them are convicted, and there is no need to keep them in jail at all.

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.

But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.

Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

Interesting, this ‘extra’ £820 M Labour are all crowing about extra money coming to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.
It’s Barnet consequencials, meaning if 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 had spent £820 Million LESS then WE would be £820M out of pocket.

Israeli soldiers raped a 13 year old Palestinian boy they had detained.

Israeli soldiers then labelled the organisation investigating the rape as a “terrorist entity”.

Rape, theft and genocidal violence seem to be embedded in Israeli society.

I wish people would stop caling Palestine Gaza.

I wish people would stop calling it a war, it's a genocide!

There is no war in Gaza.

There is a genocide in Palestine against the Palestinian people.

The aggressors are the zionist settlers who have stolen land that is NOT theirs!

SHOCKING: 7 Palestine Action activists have been on HUNGER STRIKE for as long as 30 DAYS.

The activists have been denied bail, and could be held for over two years before their trial.

WHY is no one talking about this?!

It says a lot that This lady was cited in the manifesto of Anders Breivik and she is still invited to be on TV over 15 years later
Everyone involved knows Mel is a virulently racist fascist lunatic with horrendous views on the use of massive, murderous violence against civilians. But there she still is on Sky News, because her crackpottery is well within acceptable opinion, for our political/media class.

Nigel has moved up in the world. Often wonder what happened to the £25 membership fees paid (often by older people) to join the Brexit Party. Did they refund everyone when the Brexit Party folded?

Reform said to be running cash for access, £10.000 per year for exclusive access to the leadership. That's who they want to appeal too, not you or I.

Employers get to pay low wages & avoid paying a decent wage for their workers. A low-pay service economy, reliant on benefits is surely not the economic growth that this Gov't wants.
Food Banks are a growth sector now filling the gap for families. Historically, before we had FBs we had Food Riots.
Somehow this got missed off the "Benefit Street" front pages today
70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.
