The fact that the Scottish Government have overturned the National Park's decision on Flamingo Land is an outrage.

This is the most unpopular planning application in Scottish history and will cause irreversible damage to the world-famous local environment at Loch Lomond.

Whether you believe Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah, a prophet, a philosopher, or just a proto-Reform rabbi, there's one thing for which there's consensus within academic history scholarship: that he died by crucifixion for challenging the authority of the government.

Worth thinking about today.

👦🏻 @cpaguk.bsky.social says scrapping the two-child cap will lift 15,000 kids out of poverty in Scotland.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 That’s why we’re scrapping it in Scotland - with the plan to be implemented by April next year.

Dear Steve Witkoff:
An elementary lesson on Ukrainian demographics.
The fact that someone, or the majority of people in a region, speaks the Russian language natively doesn’t mean they want to be part of Russia.
It doesn’t mean they are not bombed by Russia.

As a horrific mass shooting unfolds at FSU, a reminder that Florida:

Does not require background checks or training
Does not regulate assault weapons
Does not limit magazine capacity
Became a permitless carry state in 2023

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post is even calling out Leon Munsk and Tesla for allegedly speeding up the cars’ odometers so they fall out of warranty faster.

Seems like they really are trying to distance themselves from him.

The impossible has happened !
Labour is going to stop patients with cancer and heart disease receiving disablement benefits.
Even the corrupt thieving tories never touched the cancer and heart attack patients benefits. This is EVIL, DISGUSTING, and contrary to International Law 👇

Labour abstained on providing South Lanarkshire Council with £63.2m in additional funding for 2025/26.
That's an 8.5% funding boost for local services across South Lanarkshire, delivered by the SNP, baulked at by Labour.

Trump gets invited by the king
Not my king
PM to host him at gov event
Not my gov
We, the ppl of Scotland, didn't invite him
We don't want him here
Trump can do one and GTF
And when he GTF, he needs to GTF some more. Right up to the point where he's in Mar-a-lago.
He's a wankspangle extraordinaire!

His Party Manifesto is...the SAME as the 1970s National Front!

Some people ARE this stupid.
Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

What the hell is going on? Why is basically nobody reporting on Israel's foreign minister visiting the UK and meeting with David Lammy this week?

You'd think some of the papers that are more sympathetic to Israel might have mentioned his meeting with Priti Patel ... but no ...🧵

Turns out @mcuban.bsky.social was correct
Mark Cuban on CNBC: "Donald Trump is trying to come in with the hammer and say, 'I'm gonna hit you with a 200% tariff, John Deere.' Kamala Harris is saying, 'I'm going to give you incentives to manufacture more.' Which do you think is gonna work better with companies?"

Thinking sensibly and rationally, Scottish Independence is now the ONLY prudent option.

Unless you want the facist, English Nationalist, Nigel Farage, as your next UK Prime Minister.

Which surely no enlightened person in Scotland does?

US will abandon efforts to end the war in Ukraine if it proves impossible to broker meaningful progress in the next several days, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

He also said that US advises EU to drop sanctions on Russia to reach a “deal.”

..So all you did was align with Russia for nothing?
