🗣️ 'Scotland should not facilitate, in any way, Trump's war machine'
I’ve been waiting and expecting this so here it comes!! In some respects I’ll be surprised if this moron makes it 3 more years. The bigger question is can America and its citizens make it?
Git awa wi' you!
What a lying little weasel his finger prints are all over it. Time that was brought down and faced a judge like the rest of the thieving gits 😡
Two months until Scotland decides.
Stay stuck in broken Brexit Britain, or choose the fresh start of independence.
That wealthier, fairer future for Scotland is possible. On May 7, vote SNP to make it a reality.
Jeremy Corbyn • @jeremycorbyn • 1d $ ... We cannot let Keir Starmer drag this country into another illegal war. That's why I tabled a Bill to require Parliamentary approval for the foreign use of British bases. Today, I urged the Prime Minister to fulfill the promise he made in 2020 and pass this legalisation, now.
They were terrified of this guy because of the social forces he unlocked, quite accidentally. But he’s a letter-writing, petition collecting kind of politician, he thinks he’s there to enable others. A proper populist monster would lay waste to the British political landscape.
Health care or arts and culture? It’s not as simple as that: Open letter from a Cape Breton community health centre
"We stand in appreciation of the work that our colleagues and volunteers in Arts and Culture do, and we understand how inseparable it is from our own."

Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
Picture of Kathy Burke with a quote from her Bluesky account: "Dirty Business on C4 was absolutely brilliant and f*****g terrifying. It's imperative we re-nationalise our water companies otherwise the greedy b*****s will kill us all."
English National Treasure says what!
If you agree with Kathy Burke, sign our petition. Bring Thames Water into public ownership. Then we can work on the rest.

They’re raping people on your dime.
Like clockwork.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
The smell of pure corruption reeks, you can smell it from here.
