The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

As an MSP I will... work closely with our local councillors and hold the national government to account when they fail to resource our local services or value our care system.

Disgraceful response from SNP. Greens now the only party we can trust on this. All subsidies by Scottish Enterprise to arms companies must end now.

It’s the final week of poll cards & I’m revisiting doors I’d previously knocked on with a reminder that the vote is on Thursday, & it’s such an important moment in our area’s politics.

A chance for something new, for action, for kindness, or a return to the same old.

Spray-painting planes is not terrorism. Criminal damage, yes - but you cannot “terrorise” inanimate objects. It does not serve to cause terror in victims. Therefore it is not terrorism.

There's going to war on faulty intelligence, then there's going to war in absence of intelligence, and then there's this:

Going to war in the face of contrary intelligence

The Intelligence Community said a week ago that Iran had not moved towards a nuclear weapon.

Have they changed their assessment? And if not, what the hell is the U.S. doing ignoring our own intelligence?

Nothing scares the state more than solidarity- @palaction.bsky.social need our support now more than ever.

This is an attempt by the state to isolate Palestine Action & break their popular support by criminalising belonging to, supporting or expressing support for Palestine Action. It won't work.

Military action is not the solution. The US must stop all strikes immediately and return to diplomacy. This path leads away from disaster and toward real security.

US intelligence itself doesn’t believe Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. The attack has no legal justification and risks a regional conflagration. Attacking nuclear installations is also specifically banned by international law.
