"Simultaneously, developing nations such as Brazil – a country in which Palestine has been recognised as a formal state for over a decade – have stood out as functional allies to the Palestinian cause. But what makes Britain so different from this South American nation on the matter?"
What is Brazil’s message to the UK about the Palestinian genocide now?
Brazil has long championed Palestinian statehood, while the UK’s late recognition raises questions over its commitment to real change in Gaza

There's countless reasons why we cannot let Westminster-controlled MSPs run Holyrood.

Education, health and water being just three of them.

Keep Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Reform UK out of Scotland’s Parliament.

To paraphrase Tony Benn....

1. What Power Have You Got
2. Where Did You Get It From
3. In Whose Interests Do You Exercise It
4. To Whom Are You Accountable
5. How Can We Get Rid Of You

Anyone remember when the UK asked Putin to speak on their behalf against Scottish Independence? Was about a month before Russia invaded & annexed Crimea (with little to no UK opposition).

"Why is it that the media wants to convince the electorate of Reform’s apparent impending outright success? Perhaps when we examine who owns these media and social media outlets, whether it be Rupert Murdoch or the tech billionaires, we begin to understand the motivation."

Not being surprised – inaction is our enemies’ lifeline
A sense of outrage, déjà vu and exasperation at the state of the present – the comment “I’m not surprised” is not relevant, the question should be, what to do?

Just a thought.
If Trump is successful in suing the BBC and a precedent is set. What is the likelihood of others following. I am thinking several Scottish governments (including Labour)SNP, Greens, LibDems, multiple trade unions and individual politicians of all persuasions. They could all follow

Does this allow me to throw a milkshake at him in a non hurtful and insulting way without legal consequences?

Nope. It doesn't, as is clearly evident from the 2 times that it occurred.

On that basis, Farage shouldn't be let off simply because he's concealing his current racist ideologies.
What an interesting choice of words

Reform UK’s Russia shame is rooted in Farage’s long record of licking Putin’s boots. He’s pushed Kremlin-soaked bullshit for years on Russian TV, then pretends innocence now Putin’s exposed as a tyrant. His only consistency is hypocrisy and talking utter crap. #ukpolitics
