@AngusRobertson Scrap peak energy pricing. Privatised multinationals control our Scottish generating infrastructure. This is London legalised extortion, enabled by the corrupt UK OffGen. They enable forced transfer of wealth from the Scottish poor to small group of rich corporate share holders

A music teacher in Gaza has transformed the sound of Israeli drones into a powerful song honouring those killed in Israel’s genocide.

Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha uses music to help displaced and traumatised Palestinian children cope amid war and devastation.

If you watch one thing today, make it this.

I’m so glad for this marvellous girl. But it was a close call, as she explains.

Israel is holding thousands of hostages in Israeli Prisons, why does the Mainstream Media only talk about the few Israeli hostages held by Hamas..? Release all hostages now and end the Genocide...

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

I don’t believe anyone gave their lives in World War 2 in order that a future government of the UK could support and enable a GENOCIDE

At last, some good news, but does this mean a peerage is still in the offing? When I was courted for a peerage and said no thanks I was told two of my SNP colleagues were touting for peerages. I assumed they meant Blackford & Wishart.

With her own political career such a failure - by the comparisons of running a competent government and advancing independence - Nicola Sturgeon has doomed herself to forever keep talking about Alex Salmond, in a vain attempt to talk him down by any means

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

Trans people weren’t “stigmatised” before you started obsessively pushing gender ideology. Most people had never heard the word “transgender”. At words, transvestite men got quietly pitied. The hatred around the subject now is because of you.

[UN Watch @UNWatch]

Francesca Albanese: “People continue to say ‘But Hamas, Hamas, Hamas’... I don't think people have any idea what Hamas is. Hamas is a political force that won the 2005 elections—whether we like it or not. Hamas built schools, public facilities, hospitals. It was simply the authority, the de facto authority.”

“So it is critical that you understand, that when you think of Hamas, you should not necessarily think of cut-throats, people armed to the teeth, or fighters. It's not like that.”

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Anyone else noticing how obsessed Nicola Sturgeon seems with blackening Alex Salmond’s name? It’s pretty distasteful given he can’t defend himself. Could it be she’s attacking his legacy to distract from her own? I hope most people aren’t stupid enough to fall for this.

The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%.
Zero point three per cent.

The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%.
Thirty seven point seven per cent.

In a single statistic, there you have the difference between a war and a genocide.

[YES Brechin @BrechinYes2]

@ReformUKScot Reform in Scotland. Just another English branch party.
Nothing to offer us other than more of the same. Labour, Tory, Lib/Dem or Reform will make nothing better. The UK is in decline. Its best days are gone. The Welsh and Scots, better out of it. There are better Unions to be in.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

What this means is that the Scottish NHS i.e. Scottish taxpayers are looking at a bill of half a million pounds for defending the trans dogma which the Supreme Court has debunked. It’s a national scandal for which someone must be held accountable.

HORROR🚨 an entirely Christian town was burned down by Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Palestinian Christians, the first Christians in the world, are being genocided by Israel. Cars, lands and home all attacked in a series of violent pogroms aimed at ethnically cleansing Palestinians.

What happened to the "Judeo-Christian" values we keep hearing about?
