Tulip Siddiq made a point of order in the House of Commons after Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch attacked Bridget Phillipson, again,

"Kemi Badenoch called the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson a spiteful class warrior"

"And previously she's compared Bridget Phillipson to a gestapo officer"

"Madame Deputy Speaker, I started out working in parliament as a teenager, and for 25 years of being involved in politics I have never seen the atmosphere here in parliament and outside quite so hostile and intimidatory, especially towards female elected representatives"

"Madame Deputy Speaker, words matters and inflammatory language contribute to this hostility towards politicians, especially women"

"Could I ask your advice whether the language that was used by the leader of the opposition today, towards the Secretary of State for Education, who is a woman who grew up in poverty, on a council estate, raised by a single mother, on free school meals, and worked her way up to Cabinet, is appropriate language to be used in the chamber"

"Not only does this language contribute to hostility, it also puts off women, from coming into this very important profession"

They had better hurry up, or there will be no-one left on the ground to testify…

If the triple lock does get scrapped, the money will end up boosting the bonuses of arms company chief executives. Not on helping millenials scrape together the deposit on a shoddily built shoebox flat.

Scottish Labour has had by far the most sex offenders, including 5 child sex offenders, convicted since 2007 https://t.co/yw6mjjxiNF

"If he thinks violence in this city is funny, I am outraged."

Labour MSP Daniel Johnson @DJforEdS says Reform MSPs risk inciting violence with their language.

Why hasn't he been stripped of his baubles already? Why is there not more coverage of this? Why is the embezzlement of £400,000 from the SNP more important than a child rapist who had access to prime ministers for decades and helped sway policy to the benefit of NI Unionists?

Scottish Oil, Gas and Electricity has - and is - keeping the English/Brit State afloat. Subservience means our democratic votes are ignored, traduced and laughed at. When the hell is @JohnSwinney @theSNP going to take the initiative and take 'em on?

Questions for the BritNat hacks who insist they confront all MSPs at Holyrood.

Why was Sarwar not confronted over ...

String of Scottish Labour child sex offenders?
Pam Duncan Glancy?
Peter Mandelson?
Foysol Choudhury?
Easdale donation?
Starmer loyalist for 20 months?
£1.5bn Chinese investment blocked?
Carbon Capture promises broken?
Labour's PFI legacy?

Scotland immune from austerity? How out of touch he is. And he wants to impose more austerity on Scotland. More of that ‘change’ we are used to Labour promising I see. 🥀

-Can’t say. Dangerous

WE’RE ALL BEING SCREWED BY ISRAEL!

Feeling the pinch? Cost of living going through the roof? We’ve almost got used to world markets being disrupted by yet another of Israel’s wars, but this time the ‘chosen people’, have gone a step too far.

The war with Iran, the war Netanyahu has been wanting for forty years, has tipped the balance. Oil prices have gone through the roof. You are now paying the price through higher food and energy prices, and unless a satisfactory conclusion can be reached very soon to end the war, the world could be tipped into a catastrophic depression. We are weeks away, courtesy of Israel.

THE WORLD HAS AN ISRAEL PROBLEM.

America, the world, needs to cut Israel loose. It’s a rogue state guilty of one of the world’s most vile genocides. It needs to find out whether it can survive on its own without impunity. It probably can’t. After all that it’s done, few would mourn its passing.
