Fancy calling yourself a patriot while celebrating violent racists attacking British police officers, and avoiding paying UK taxes by living in Dubai in the UAE, a country with zero free speech protections, ruled by Muslim autocrats. Absolute throbber.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

@antmiddleton Celebrating police officers being injured is disgusting but is a reminder that Middleton was convicted of the unlawful wounding of a male police officer and the common assault of a female police officer in 2013

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.

He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.

Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.

The Murrell story.
So many in the media in (or ‘about’) Scotland displaying such incredible bias, lies, hypocrisy and seethe.
But isn’t it strange that there is total absence of criticism from other journalists?
Omertà.

Well done SNP

[William Brown @Brown666W]

Farage is a creation of the BBC. The BBC has done a lot of damage platforming far right wing nuts that brought us Brexit, economic calamity, damaging our NHS, public services and loss of our EU rights. Why would you want to fund it.

@iScotNews It must have slipped William of Orange's mind that he was King of Scots,when he told all his East Coast of America colonies, and all English Ships, not to assist the Scots in Darien.

What stinking NHS hypocrisy from Labour’s Jackie Baillie👇
Private healthcare rates are higher in her Labour England Labour Wales than Scotland.
Surveys show higher rates of waiting lists in Wales and England.
In Baillie World, Wales and England don’t exist.

It looks likely that Scotland's Colonial Governor may well have broken UK law.
Not quite the top story in Scotland though, according to the UK state news agency. 🤦

The reality is, Scotland, Wales and the North of Ireland can no longer afford to be part of the union. It’s time to make our own way in the world and become the successful nations we all know we can be. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤝 🇮🇪 🤝 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🤝

I'll tell you what's 'unsustainable', and it's not state pensions, NHS funding or disability benefits. It's a society in which the majority works longer hours for lower wages so the 1% becomes richer still.

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting are positioning themselves as the future of Labour.

Let’s talk about what that future looks like.

Burnham is distancing himself from the Manchester SEZs , deregulation zones co-signed with Sunak and Truss, despite being Mayor throughout.
Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram sat on the Freeport/SEZ board and signed off on them alongside the Tories. These aren’t footnotes. They’re the record.

Streeting has taken hundreds of thousands from the private health sector. He is currently the Health Secretary. The people funding him profit directly from NHS decisions he makes. That’s not a conflict of interest. That’s corruption operating in plain sight. He blocks people who point this out.

Both backed Starmer’s position on Gaza throughout. Not a war. A genocide. Tens of thousands of civilians. Famine as policy. Both stayed quiet or offered cover while it happened.

Now they’re recalibrating.
Not because their conscience moved. Because the polling did.

This is the Labour Party that Morgan McSweeney and Peter Mandelson , yes, that Mandelson, the Epstein-linked, now disgraced one, systematically purged the left to deliver.
Corbyn gone. principled MPs deselected.
The membership hollowed out. All so this prospectus could be handed to the country as progress.

Burnham and Streeting aren’t a departure from Starmerism. They’re its logical continuation, dressed up in regional authenticity or technocratic competence depending on the audience.

The obscenity isn’t just what happened in Gaza.
It’s watching the people who enabled it now audition for the next act.

Keir Starmer promised that Labour would launch the biggest wave of insourcing in a generation. But like with everything else, he was lying.

Significant economic growth across Scotland's industry sectors https://t.co/kldncJ2pQn

The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption.

These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure.

▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons.

▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around ‌the ⁠same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total.

▪️The rise of AI is accelerating this trend. The UK Government's Compute Roadmap notes that AI data centres can devote up to 40% of their energy consumption to cooling systems.

▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth.

▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect.

Numerous campaigns against these data centres are being organised by local communities. No one voted for this. If you are involved in any of these local campaigns, please DM me and I’ll try and help you amplify your campaigns.

50 days until the Commonwealth Games return to Glasgow.

11 days until Scotland face Haiti at the World Cup.

And with our Summer of Sport programme, we are reducing barriers for young people to take part in sports, funding free and low-cost sporting activities across Scotland.

Net Zero zealot Ed Miliband wants us plebs to cut back on red meat and dairy. Yet the Labour government enables over 500 AI data centres that deplete energy and water supplies as BlackRock invests up to £500 million in these monstrosities. One rule for them, another rule for us.
