Self Determination.
Our political and economic decisions should be made in Scotland by the people of Scotland, not in Westminster England.

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

This is amazing.
Only made more amazing by the fact that Zach Bryan served our country.

Genocide is always wrong. 🇵🇸

We need men’s voices consistently calling out violence against women and girls and making it absolutely clear that it’s a shameful way to behave.

That’s exactly what I pledge to do. Let's change the culture and eradicate these toxic attitudes for good. I hope you can join me.

Burnham's speech, stripped of the delivery:
- The big items, a National Care Service, pension reform, electoral reform, all arrive after the next election. Vote first, delivery later.
- Every headline survives 30 seconds. None survive the small print. "Taking control of water" is a power to take control later, if a company fails. The care service "protects people's homes and their savings", except his aides say it won't cover care home costs.
- Palestine got one line. The climate crisis got four words, attached to a North Sea line. AI got a G20 summit and not a word on jobs.
Same product, new packaging.

[Ross Colquhoun @rosscolquhoun]

Burnham’s speech was full of commissions, reviews, and vague reforms pushed into next Parliament - signalling intent rather than delivering change.

Those claims are already falling apart - including a “National Care Service” that covers personal care, not residential care.

[Bill Cruickshank @BjCruickshank]

@Simmons__ Sorry but you are being delusional, let @andyburnham accept @JohnSwinney 's challenge & let Scots vote on their own future.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer.

The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.

Iran's IRGC Publishes 26-Page Open Letter To Directly to AMERICANS

I read the entire letter. It is FAR more extensive than the excerpts circulating online.

The IRGC DIRECTLY addresses American citizens, students, academics and journalists, laying out its view of the war, decades of U.S.-Iran hostility and what it believes Americans should do next.

Key points:
• IRAN CLAIMS VICTORY: The letter argues the U.S. and Israel failed to achieve their objectives despite vastly greater military spending. It points to Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz, continued weapons production, national unity and damage inflicted on U.S. regional bases.

• WHY IRAN DID NOT BREAK: The IRGC says Iran's strength ultimately comes not from missiles or drones, but from Quranic principles, national unity and religious leadership. It devotes several pages to Karbala and the Shia principle of resisting oppression regardless of the cost.

• "DEATH TO AMERICA SLOGAN": The IRGC says the slogan targets America's ruling political establishment, NOT ordinary Americans. It argues that Iranians and Americans are both victims of the same political elite.

• 73 YEARS OF HOSTILITY: The letter traces the conflict from the 1953 coup through the Shah, the Iran-Iraq War, sanctions, Flight 655, the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the 2025 war, the January 2026 unrest and the current war.

• IRGC TERRORISM DESIGNATION: The Guards argue Washington designated the IRGC a terrorist organization because it repeatedly blocked U.S. attempts to weaken or overthrow the Islamic Republic.

• NUCLEAR PROGRAM: The letter calls allegations that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons one of Washington's biggest lies. It notes that U.S. officials have claimed for 25 YEARS that Iran was only "weeks or months" away from building a bomb, yet Iran still has no nuclear weapon.

• ISRAEL: The IRGC argues U.S. support for Israel has damaged America's interests, reputation and finances, while American taxpayers continue funding Israeli military operations.

• AMERICAN DECLINE: The letter blames foreign wars, military spending, national debt, deindustrialization and poor leadership for weakening the U.S. It contrasts this with China's continued advances while Washington spends enormous resources fighting wars abroad.

• CLOSE THE BASES: The letter urges Americans to demand the closure of roughly 800 U.S. overseas military bases, bring American troops home, end aid to Israel and redirect that money toward science, advanced manufacturing and domestic prosperity.

• CHANGE U.S. LEADERSHIP: Americans are urged to use their votes to remove politicians the letter describes as corrupt and dishonest. It specifically mocks politicians who think they can buy Americans' votes with a $5,000 payment.

• THE WARNING: The IRGC warns that continuing the war could trigger broader political and economic backlash against U.S. interests around the world.

• THE OFFER: Despite its attacks on the U.S. government, the letter tells Americans:
"We can live together in peaceful coexistence."

• THE ENDING: The final paragraphs invoke JESUS CHRIST and IMAM MAHDI, saying Iran awaits their return to establish justice and hopes Americans will ultimately stand alongside Iranians.

The central message across all 26 pages is a clear distinction between the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT and the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The IRGC portrays the conflict as the result of decades of U.S. policy while telling Americans that a completely different relationship with Iran remains possible.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:

"Some researchers and scholars estimate the actual death toll in Gaza at 680,000."

"If confirmed, 380,000 of them are infants under the age of 5."

The horrors of the genocide

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Anyone who wants to help desperate Palestinian farmers in the West Bank fighting for their very survival should consider googling @Zaytoun_CIC for the most delicious olive oil ever... and also spectacular Mejdoul dates, amazing smokey freekeh and best of all, their unbelievable zesty zaatar.

The two most important for current issues are 1. RAF Fairford, from where the bombers depart to kill children in Iran.

And 2. RAF Welford - roughly 25 miles to the East - where all the bombs are stored. It’s the largest US ammo dump in the country.

They cannot bomb anywhere without the ability to transport the bombs in large convoys from Welford to Fairford. And they can’t do that without using the M4 and sundry small roads which are easily blockable by a handful of determined comrades.

I wrote about Welford recently. It should be shut down immediately before it actually becomes an IRGC target.

@BjCruickshank I am curious if this has anything to do with the 3 Celtic nations meeting to affirm self determination?
30 years have passed.. Now today?

Now it is official.
