He’s also accused of helping relax Russia sanctions in China meeting.

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

A quote from one of the victims...

On police attitudes: “The police just looked at us as dirty little prostitutes... A child cannot consent to anything – they can’t consent if they want a packet of sweets or a fizzy drink. How can a child consent to sex with a 30-year-old man?”

Scotland’s free “Top Up Taps” network has reached a major sustainability milestone: public refill stations have now prevented the use of around 20 million plastic bottles, reinforcing the country’s reputation as a leading eco-friendly travel destination.

With over 130 free refill points available across cities, parks, and hiking routes, travellers can easily stay hydrated using some of the world’s highest-quality tap water without relying on single-use plastic.

A big step forward for sustainable tourism.

Would you travel with a reusable bottle?

Scotland has enormous energy resources that should help lower our bills - but the powers to make these decisions remain at Westminster.

Decisions about Scotland’s energy should be made in Scotland, and last week Parliament endorsed that view.

We are working hard to deliver on your priorities. In case you missed it, this week:

🏥 NHS long waits fell for 11th month in a row
🩺 Surpassed the target of 150,000 extra appointments
🏡 First Homes Fund to open by the end of June
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Passed the vote on devolving energy powers

[iScot Magazine @iScotNews]

We were told the Union protected Scots law, Scotland's institutions and our constitutional traditions. We were told the people of Scotland were sovereign.

Yet when Scots repeatedly elect governments seeking a referendum, another parliament simply says No.

So when exactly did Scots agree that their sovereignty, rights and protections could be vetoed by Westminster?
Not when did Westminster claim the power...

When did Scotland grant it? @iScotNews

Hello @AOC, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime?

You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off.

You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes."

They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights.

امروز در دادگاه فدرال آمريكا حضور پيدا كردم تا براى چهارمين بار با يكى از افرادى كه سپاه پاسداران براى كشتنم استخدام كرده بود، روبه رو شوم.
جاناتان لودهولت مجرم و به ١٠ سال زندان محكوم شد.
ريورا كه در دادگاه قبلى مجرم و به ۱۵ سال حبس محكوم شد، لودهولت كه یک شهروند آمريكايي بود را استخدام كرده بود.
هر دو زير دستور فرهاد شاكرى، عامل سپاه پاسداران، عمل
مى كردند.
رژيم ايران ١٠٠ هزار دلار برای كشتنم به آنها پيشنهاد داده بود.
در دادگاه و جلوى قاضى گفتم كه من يك روزنامه نگارم. تنها سلاحم صداى من است و كار من صداى مردم ايران بودن است.
اما جمهورى اسلامى حتى اينجا, در خاک آمريكا، سعى در كشتن مخالفانش دارد.
شاكرى هنوز در ايران پناه گرفته. هنوز آزاد است.
اين پرونده تمام نشده است.
تا وقتى رژیم ايران در قدرت است، هيچ يک از ما چه در داخل چه در خارج از ایران امنيت نخواهيم داشت.

In May 1845, 90 men, women, and children were evicted from the glen of Glencalvie in Ross-shire. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

They had nowhere to go. So they sheltered in the churchyard of Croick Church, sleeping under the open Highland sky with their children and whatever they could carry.

We in Scotland produce more energy than we can consume, we have more oil & gas than countries around the world could ever dream of - yet we the highest energy prices in the world & citizens in fuel poverty.

Why? Because we allow it.

When is enough, enough?
