Well fuck me backwards what a sight. I can't believe that was only an hour and fifteen. It felt like seven years. I hope you all enjoyed watching Robert Jenrick's soul leave his decaying fetid fucking human body.

As a recent immigrant to Scotland, I am not sure if most Scots realise how different services are in England. It was a very pleasant surprise when I moved here how much better things were in so many aspects of life. Don’t be fooled by the likes of Farage he will destroy everything you’ve got.

Last year we had the UK Statistics Authority stating Labour Minister was lying about Scottish water in the risk of misleading the public
Today we have yet again from the UK Statistics Authority that a UK Government Labour Minister is talkin absolute shite about NHS waiting times in Scotland 👇

Bobby Sands died after 66 days on hunger strike. Heba Muraisi is now on day 71. In 1981, everyone knew who Bobby Sands was because his action was all over the press. Ask your neighbour if they've heard of Heba...

Minister of State Alex Norris tells the BBC he won't personally come off X because it's important for communicating with voters.

None of his tweets for the last month has more than 1000 views.

For balance, as I do spend a lot of time poo-pooing suggestions that this or that thing is meant as a Nazi allusion, I should point out here that I absolutely believe that this logo is meant as a Nazi allusion, it’s an open and shut case.
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

I live in a town where we’ve had no water since Saturday. Schools have had to close. Pot holes on the roads are getting worse. Trains are rubbish. On what planet does this government think that immigration is a priority. Maybe because I don’t buy the Reform line, I can’t understand it!?

OH SHUT UP.

ABOLISH ICE IS THE FLOOR.
Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?

JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

If this is'nt further evidence that the Scottish government is more than competent of making decisions that any Independent government would, Then this would be it.

But again on this issue, The British establishment will do anything not to recognise the actions taken by the Scottish government.

As one poster recently put it, the Scottish General Election is now a clear battle between the SNP and the BBC.
Westminster's department of brainwashers, gasllghters and liars, aka as the BBC in Scotland (News & Politics), suffers a set back, as resident doctors cancel strike action. We wish them no luck in finding future employment.

A quick reminder of how fundamentally different the Scottish parties are from the british parties🇬🇧

If you live in a Region where the SNP are very likely to win most of the Constituency seats, then for Indy vote🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿:

Constituency : SNP
Regional List : Scottish Greens

SNP 1&2, means 2 goes in the bin

The Palestine hunger strikers have been on hunger strike for over 60 days and are close to death.

They have not even been convicted of a crime - they are being held on remand (pre-trial) for more than twice the max time allowed, and counting…🧵

Ah here. The 10 o’clock news on BBV Radio 4 is leading with ‘JD Vance has described a woman shot dead by an ICE officer in Minnesota as a deranged leftist carrying out a terrorist attack’

This is not public service broadcasting
So far the BBC’s coverage of the Minnesota killing seems really, really off

Get Verify to verify what happened - NYT, Bellingcat etc already have - and report that
Evan Davis faux scratching his head on PM as to how there can be such different interpretations of clearly documented incidents (the shooting in Minnesota), right after platforming someone from the Heritage Foundation giving a deliberately false interpretation of events, barely challenged.

And the BBC package ends with some crap about ‘in these politically charged times, dualling narratives’

WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD IS GOING ON!?!

There is no dual narratives

An innocent woman was shot dead and the Trump administration is lying about
