Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger. What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking.
We must stand firm with our European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands. 🏴🇺🇦
