There’s a growing Mexican community in Scotland.

Ahead of the game against England, we paid some of them a visit…

At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…

Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

A great thread that absolutely nails the issue with what Kate has said.

A lot of people have asked me my views of the leadership contest. Truthfully, I have been incredibly hurt so far. Hurt originating with the statements @_KateForbes has made and since stood by. I, like most people in Scotland, could not care less about someone’s religion. (1/10)

Labour makes a grab for "take back control" - but doesn't answer how Scotland could take back control if it wanted to. (If it is a voluntary union how does Scotland leave while Westminster refuses a referendum? )

Just announced, Scottish govt using its tax varying powers to increase higher and top rate taxes to "enable spending in patient care in the NHS."

When these decisions ultimately benefit Tory donors, I’m 100% certain she doesn’t find them difficult to make.

How can we help our society recover from a cost of living crisis? Well, we allow the most bloated, richest, self-serving arseholes out there to hoard even more gold. Genius.

It’s high time we did something to help our bankers, poor things.

@Torcuil What a waste of time & money. We were told in 2014 that Scotland's oil & gas was going to run out in 5 years. Oh wait was the @BBCNews lying in 2014?

Everytime I hear “he got the big calls right”…

I think of the policy to send vulnerable people with Covid back into care homes to infect and kill tens of thousands of our most vulnerable

But yeah… big calls right.
