Their damaging and economic illiterate immigration policies are almost the exact opposite of what we need in Scotland with our emerging population and demography crisis. Yet they won't even speak to our Government...

A torture chamber of Zelensky was uncovered near Kiev, where over 40 mobilised men were held captive by Ukraine's National Guard. The youngest victim was reportedly just 14 years old. There is now great outrage and riots in Ukraine against the henchmen of Zelensky and NATO.

“As far as Westminster is concerned. Scotland is just the source of assets and resources to be used and exploited while its people and their needs are ignored. Westminster has treated Scotland with contempt for centuries. It will continue to do so.”

The BBC turned a tawdry tribunal featuring an unsavoury individual into a political weapon against the SNP. An identical tribunal in Darlington was virtually ignored. Hopefully the last we hear of Sandie Peggie.

Note the steep rise in progress in Scotland from 2010 onwards, following the first SNP government coming to power in 2007.

ETH Zürich has created a wall-climbing robot. Its clever combination of wheels and tilting propellers lets it grip vertical surfaces and climb upwards with remarkable speed and agility.

@AndrewJQuinn97 Absurd from Brian Leishman Labour MP. Warning against the UK seeking to rejoin the EU because it is "pro capitalist, pro imperialist" whilst being a member of a pro capitalist, pro unionist, pro imperialist political party.

P.S. Scotland voted overwhelmingly to Remain in the EU.

A classic of the angry Tory genre. Passenger flights from Prestwick are mainly to holiday spots so of course government ministers don't use it much. I feel more questions would be asked if ministers were making official trips to Tenerife or Alicante or Malaga.....

The government’s grandest plane, an A321 jet, took off from Stansted at 6.05 a.m. this morning. Burnham wasn't on it. It flew 34 minutes to Manchester to collect the PM, then set off for the Commonwealth summit in Antigua. Guido estimates the detour cost around £20,000 of taxpayer cash. Avanti not good enough for him?

Flight tracking data shows the jet landed in Manchester at 6.39 a.m. and left again at 8.06 a.m., heading for a refuelling stop in Newfoundland before the Caribbean. The government eventually publishes what every trip on the plane costs. Starmer’s same-day trip to Paris on in April came to £39,756 at roughly £20,000 a leg. Stansted to Manchester is shorter than Paris, but every additional leg brings its own landing and handling fees. About £18,000-20,000’s worth according to Guido’s fag packet maths…

The whole jaunt, there and back, comes to about 21 hours of flying. Based on Starmer’s £121,239 trip to Yerevan in May and Yvette Cooper’s £148,700 trip to Washington in December, long-haul flying on the plane costs between £9,500 and £12,400 an hour. That puts Burnham's full trip at about £250,000.

Burnham took the same government jet from Glasgow to Manchester in July to open No10 North, despite a choice of trains. When Liz Truss used the same plane to fly to Australia, @AngelaRayner called it a “ridiculous waste of half a million pounds on a private jet trip”. Thoughts on this one, Ange?

It used to be that 'they'll demolish Holyrood' was a conspiracy theory for cranks, now its openly espoused by Unionists for the parliament they created but cannot rule

I've watched the Tony Watt/chickens video about 50 times since Saturday to the point I keep catching myself singing it, and I swear I've only *just* noticed one of the Morton fans is dressed as batman 😅

So we get Sportscene at 11.55pm AFTER Match of the Day. Why? Also, why is Sportscene stating that they are showing the Dundee United v Hearts game when it wasn't played because it was fucking postponed when Hearts are playing Hibs in the semi final of the league cup tomorrow
