There should be travel restrictions. Letting former IDF soldiers into Europe is a national security risk and danger to public safety.

They recorded it and posted it on social media saying: “Don’t mess with us. We are the IDF.”

What's wrong with America that keeps this fascist bas**d in power
Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

And the job of Starmer's fake Labour Party is to put in place all the authoritarian tools (ie Palantir) and then hand over to Farage. Its the same billionaire and corporate money behind Labour, Reform and Tory. They put on a different theatrical show but core policies are the same.
Appalled to your core by what Trump's fascist henchmen are doing in the United States? Well, read for yourself: Nigel Farage wants to repeat it in the United Kingdom.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

My duty is to protect Scotland’s interests.

It is absolutely unacceptable if they were undermined by Peter Mandelson during the financial crisis or at any time since.

I have ordered the Scottish Government to conduct a full investigatory audit to establish the facts.

Reporters on the ground in war zones have been fired by jeff bezos. The richest man in the world laid off his staff covering Israel, Gaza, Ukraine and sports.

The Washington Post is no longer a newspaper. So what is it? No legitimacy. It’s like a doctor who won’t treat eyes or skin. Not doable.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Patronising and pathetic. If he had covered the table with things invented by Scots at. Least we wouldn't be able to see him
This is what they think of us, our culture and traditions! An unopened tin of Irn-Bru, a Tunnocks selection and a cheese roll staged in front of a backdrop showing an oil pipeline alongside a disinterested and vacant Starmer. Patronising and taunting. This fake Union is over.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
