Those in Westminster who boasted of ‘Brexit bonuses’ and being ‘vindicated’ will be quieter tonight.

As has been the case throughout, economic eyes should be trained on tightening our trading relationship with our nearest, and most reliable, allies in Europe.

@PeterStefanovi2 Pathetic, Weak, Grovelling, Sycophantic Lunacy.
We should be standing shoulder to shoulder with all the other countries Trump has placed tariffs on, not trying to placate USA.
We should NOT be cutting taxes for the rich - either homegrown or from USA.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

With Calls for reforms to cut the prison population by 10% surely now is the time for the government to get behind Lord Woodley’s Bill for the resentencing of IPP prisoners - which I’m supporting - which will end one of the most cruel & monumental injustices of the past half-century & head off the medium-term prison capacity crisis at the same time.

NASDAQ call volume spiked minutes before the 90 day tariff pause was announced.

Not a good look at all.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump crashed the stock market, crashed the bond market, tanked the world economy, and told us the U.S. would pay off the national debt with the trillions made from his tariffs. He even said on Monday he wouldn’t do a deal with the EU based on zero tariffs — and now, all of a sudden, he caves like a real Panican, even though nothing actually changed.

And now you have the White House Press Secretary trying to gaslight the American people, spinning Trump as some genius and master dealmaker.

This is beyond ridiculous. No one’s buying it. The world isn’t buying it. We’ve lost our credibility because of Trump’s insane, volatile decision-making.

Yesterday Starmer told MPs his benefit cuts are about the principle that people who can work should work

PIP isnt related to work & it enables many disabled people to stay in jobs. Stopping disabled people getting PIP won't help them into work. It'll have the opposite effect

At age 27, Meitner became only the second woman to earn a physics doctorate from the University of Vienna in 1906.

Her exceptional work caught Max Planck's attention in Berlin, despite his earlier reservations about women scientists.

His support changed her life...

[GeniusThinking @GeniusGTX]

70 years ago, a woman discovered nuclear fission.

But her male colleague stole her work and won the Nobel Prize.

She fled Nazi Germany empty handed and died without a word.

Here's how the biggest theft in science buried Lise Meitner's name in history: 🧵

Tax cut for Musk, Bezos and other tech billionaires on the table, Starmer confirms

@PeterStefanovi2 American billionaires get tax breaks while Starmer starves children and pensioners.
We know who @10DowningStreet works for and it's Not the people of the UK.

In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle.

They programmed the world’s first computer—with no manuals, no training.

Then, a SINGLE assumption erased them from tech history for decades.

The story of how ONE photo nearly deleted computing’s female founders: 🧵

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Just about to head back home to Scotland after a busy few days in New York for #TartanWeek - celebrating our culture, hearing from our fantastic pipe bands and drumming up investment.

Scotland is a proud global nation, and there’s real energy around what we have to offer.

But not you Grangemouth staff.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Debbie Abrahams asks the PM to commit to not implementing cuts to welfare before the impact assessments have been done.

Starmer refuses to make that commitment.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

JUST NOW: Senator Mark Warner GOES OFF on Jamieson Greer asking why we would tariff Australia: “Answer the question on Australia! We have a trade surplus with Australia! We have a free trade agreement! They are an incredibly important national security partner. Why were they whacked with a tariff?””

I took the Bus today, which at the age of 60 is Free for me (as it is for everyone over 60 in Scotland thanks to @theSNP).

"Thank you Driver" said almost every teenager respectfully who got off the Bus (free Bus Travel for everyone under 22 - thanks to @theSNP).

Two million people trapped with no access to aid or assistance. Tens of thousands of dead people. The wounded. Orphans. This is the reality in Gaza today.
