South Korean beekeeper Park Gyeong-je who has tended beehives for nearly 50 years is now fighting to survive as climate change disrupts flower blooms, threatens the future of beekeeping and raises concern over how crops will be pollinated https://t.co/Y6YavI26JF

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 BREAKING: Parliament backed our plans for a private jet tax and a mansion tax.

In a cost of living crisis, it is right that those with the broadest shoulders contribute a bit more - while the majority of taxpayers in Scotland continue to pay less tax than elsewhere in the UK.

[Shona Scottish YES the AYEs have it . Humanity @shonad7674]

Unless you lived through the poll tax years , miner strikes , etc please do not try & tell me that we are not better off here in Scotland with @theSNP . The unionist parties have treated our country as a cash cow for decades & time for us all to unite under this flag🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 not this🇬🇧

[Reeni @Reeni2014]

@ruth_wishart Under what authority? And for what purpose?

[Child of Alba 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ChildOfAlba]

It is now clear that the British State is determined to bring down the SNP. Branchform didn’t do it as they expected. Nor has Murrell. They are getting desperate. We’re closer to Indy than ever before.

The Welsh language has such a peculiar hissing sound, i love it. Welsh is one of very few Celtic survivors in today’s world. It is also the inspiration for Tolkien’s Sindarin Elvish language

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Douglas Alexander broke the law by not declaring he met with Mandelson's lobbying firm. His position as Secretary of State for Scotland is now untenable. The story is so big even BBC Scotland isn't ignoring it.

A majority in the Scottish Parliament has just backed our call to devolve energy powers to Scotland.

We can’t afford being tied to the failed policies at Westminster.

Scotland’s energy should work for Scotland - with the powers we need to help bring people’s bills down.

[The SNP @theSNP]

Labour said it would protect Grangemouth.

Instead, Westminster has allowed Scotland’s refinery to close while easing sanctions on aviation fuel made from Russian oil.

Scotland’s energy workers deserve better and Scotland deserves control over its own energy future.

Happy Pride Month!

This month and every month, we stand with LGBTQ+ people across Scotland, celebrating pride, equality and the right to live openly and safely.

It’s not just a rainbow, it’s a symbol of pride, hope and security. Happy pride🏳️‍🌈

@LBC @lewis_goodall Why is independence being conflated into this criminality? Is it because support for #indy is still growing and people in Scotland are still supporting @thesnp #Westminster has failed on a scale that puts this fraud into insignificance

SHE REPORTED RAPE AT WORK

Jan Cruickshank (@LittleJanhere) came to me this week with her story and a file of evidence she has spent years building. What she went through is one of the most shocking workplace cover-ups I have come across.

Jan worked as an apprenticeships officer at the Construction Industry Training Board @CITB_UK. Shortly after she started, a male colleague began subjecting her to sexual harassment that lasted over three years.

Explicit texts. Exposing himself to her at a hotel. Sending her an indecent photograph. A phone call during which he committed a sexual act while she was on the line.

In March 2015, at a conference in a Highland hotel, he came to her room and raped her.

Jan reported him. CITB believed his version instead. He claimed they had been having a consensual affair for three years and that Jan was hitting back because he had ended it. He was put on gardening leave for one week. Then he came back. He was also allowed to continue visiting schools while the investigation was ongoing.

CITB then launched a campaign to remove Jan from the business entirely. Two separate internal whistleblowers later confirmed this was deliberate. CITB's own legal team had calculated that a trial would cost them seriously.

So they chose to destroy her credibility instead. An HR investigation was initiated with the outcome already decided before it concluded. Jan was eventually sacked. The stated reason was misuse of company time by having an affair.

Her criminal case was dropped after @PoliceScotland were told by CITB that the relationship had been consensual. That lie closed the case.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority looked at the evidence independently and reached a completely different conclusion. They awarded Jan compensation as a victim of serious sexual assault.

Jan took CITB to an employment tribunal. They offered her 15k pounds. She refused. She eventually settled for 60k pounds and refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

She said there was never any way she was going to agree to be gagged.

In November 2024, SNP MP Seamus Logan @SeamusLoganMP raised her case in the @HouseofCommons. He told Parliament that Jan had been pressured into a settlement far below what she was owed and that the man she accused was never held to account.

CITB responded with one line saying the matter was settled and they had nothing further to add..

A tribunal ruling recently reported as thrown out with no prospect of success has since been overturned. That decision has not yet reached the press.

Jan is now represented by well know to some of us John Robertson, the same investigator who stood beside Glenn Cottingham Smith before his death and who is currently fighting for my friend John Galajsza in his case against Barclays.

Jan asked herself one question:

"How did a woman who reported sexual misconduct at work end up spending the next decade fighting to defend her own reputation and reclaim a life that was stolen from her."

She was not broken. She documented everything. She refused the gag. She is still standing.

If this story made your stomach turn, share it. Jan has been fighting this alone for ten years.

The least we can do is make sure the right people see it. If you believe cover-ups like this should have consequences, put this in front of your network.

One share might reach the person who finally makes the difference.

Let's help her to be heard!

HAVE YOU NOTICED..
The closer Scotland gets to LEAVING the Union..
The more INTENSE the propaganda becomes.
Don’t fall into their traps..
The Scottish people will decide our future.. and nobody else.
In 2014 the British controlled the narrative and we were sucked in.
NEVER AGAIN

@ScotlandNT @FIFAWorldCup so sorry for the player

[Reeni @Reeni2014]

I am wondering what kind of superwoman @NicolaSturgeon is, that the entirety of media & unionist politicians need to destroy her as a public figure? What is it they fear? #indy

[Austin Sheridan @AustinRSheridan]

This is because people understand the SNP is member driven and should not be punished for being the victim of Peter Murrell’s crimes…. Despite media and opposition politician’s best efforts.
