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.

I am horrified by the murder of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE agent.

This is what fascism looks like in real time, where a far-right government emboldens a violent death squad to terrorise communities with impunity.

So the rule of thumb here in Dumfries seems to be that if you find a sandwich shop that becomes your go to sandwich shop. That shop will promptly go out business and shut down.

This BBC statement defames Bobby Vylan.

"Death to the IDF" is not antisemitic.

Declaring this to be so is antisemitic, because it conflates Jewish people as a whole with a genocidal army.

People's fury is directed at heinous crimes, not the ethnicity of the perpetrators.

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

Gary Lineker was forced out of the BBC because he opposed Israel’s genocide.

Not because anyone actually believes he’s antisemitic in the slightest.

I know it, you know it, and what’s more - the people who drove him out know it.

It's those who oppose genocide who have sacked, silenced, arrested. The world turned on its head
