Why is there no discussion of the recent expose of the Labour party by Al Jazeera. Racism, persecution, gagging orders, and yet the press have ignored it? Do we still live in a democracy? https://t.co/xT1FuOEuik

Detention of republican protestors is an attack on democracy. The Scottish police should not be using the funeral as an excuse to deny basic freedom of expression. https://t.co/7fomFgqJM0

Guantanamo, layer upon layer of vindictivness. Not only does the US military steal decades from peoples’ lives, not only do they torture and abuse, they even steal their art. https://t.co/7fomFgqJM0

Betting shops ten times more likely in deprived towns; 10% of food stores, but 30% of amusement arcades, bingo venues and adult gaming centres. Given the targeting of the most vulnerable, in our society. Is it not time we banned gambling advertisement? https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”: Goebbels. The destruction of Assange, the flight of Snowdon the imprisonment and torture of Manning. The UK proposes to ‘strenghen’ the Official Secrets Act, with no Public Right to Know defence. https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM

Is G7 Summit in Glasgow just greenwash? In the past year G7 nations spent $189bn supporting oil, coal and gas; but only $147bn in supporting Green energy. Worse, fossile fules received the support without any obligation to reduce admissons https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM

A nation, that militarily occupies another nation, cannot claim to be defending itself. Ireland should be congratulated for so publically stating the simple truth; Israel is illegally annexing Palestinian territory. https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM

This is one of many good reasons reasons why the Scottish Greens support independence.☮️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿https://t.co/vxfmkuMlTM

A vote for the Scottish Greens is a vote for an independent Scotland in Europe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last year Dominic Cummings visits Bernard castle to see if he is safe to drive, this year GSK at Bernard Castle lands a contract for 60 million vaccines. Is life not full of coincidences?

Uber workers win their challenge to fair treatment. But the state should have challenged Uber a long time ago. The fact that this has gone on for so long highlights the indifference of both UK government, and Labour opposition, employment conditions. https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM

[Dennis Canavan @DennisCanavan]

This decision by the European Parliament beggars belief. Have they no respect for democracy and human rights ?

[Bill Wilson @BillWilsonSco]

37 billion budget and yet it is concluded UK track and trace has had little impact. Around 70% of contracts awarded without going out to tender. Yet Labour has gone so far to the right that Boris Johnston’s Tories are still more popular. Could UK politics sink any lower?

UNICEF are to provide £25,000 to feed desperate London children, Cummings last wage rise was reported as at least £40,000. Priorities? https://t.co/xT1FuOml4c

Daily Mail condemns cowardly unions and demands re-open schools. Luckily no teachers over 50, no teachers over 50 & BME, no teachers over 50, BME, with health problems. Reopen the schools. Wait - any parents over 50, BME, health problems, from areas of high deprivation?

[Bill Wilson @BillWilsonSco]

We have heard a lot about why schools should reopen, that disadvantaged children suffer most from closed schools. But why, in this debate, is there no mention of the fact that people from disadvantaged areas are most likely to die from Covid. Is death not a disadvantage?

[Bill Wilson @BillWilsonSco]

The Scottish Government is failing the Scottish Renewable industry. It is time to abandon neoliberal doctrine and do what every other nation on the planet does – push the boundaries, and use Scottish taxpayer’s money to build jobs in Scotland. https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM

[Bill Wilson @BillWilsonSco]

UN Special Rapporteur on Torture condemns victimisation of innocent Assange. He condemns the “willful malevolence of the authorities”. Stand up for Assange, stand up for truth, spread the word. https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM

[Bill Wilson @BillWilsonSco]

Assange, still held in isolation in a UK prison hospital, still not charged with any crime, still without access to a computer & documents necessary for his defence against extradition to USA. What hope is there for press freedom? https://t.co/xT1FuODWsM
