Outrageous decision. The SG need their arses kicked for this.

The fact that the Scottish Government have overturned the National Park's decision on Flamingo Land is an outrage.

This is the most unpopular planning application in Scottish history and will cause irreversible damage to the world-famous local environment at Loch Lomond.

Whether you believe Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah, a prophet, a philosopher, or just a proto-Reform rabbi, there's one thing for which there's consensus within academic history scholarship: that he died by crucifixion for challenging the authority of the government.

Worth thinking about today.

👦🏻 @cpaguk.bsky.social says scrapping the two-child cap will lift 15,000 kids out of poverty in Scotland.

Dear Steve Witkoff:
An elementary lesson on Ukrainian demographics.
The fact that someone, or the majority of people in a region, speaks the Russian language natively doesn’t mean they want to be part of Russia.
It doesn’t mean they are not bombed by Russia.

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post is even calling out Leon Munsk and Tesla for allegedly speeding up the cars’ odometers so they fall out of warranty faster.

Seems like they really are trying to distance themselves from him.

Labour is going to stop patients with cancer and heart disease receiving disablement benefits.
Even the corrupt thieving tories never touched the cancer and heart attack patients benefits. This is EVIL, DISGUSTING, and contrary to International Law 👇

Labour abstained on providing South Lanarkshire Council with £63.2m in additional funding for 2025/26.
That's an 8.5% funding boost for local services across South Lanarkshire, delivered by the SNP, baulked at by Labour.

Some people ARE this stupid.

What the hell is going on? Why is basically nobody reporting on Israel's foreign minister visiting the UK and meeting with David Lammy this week?

You'd think some of the papers that are more sympathetic to Israel might have mentioned his meeting with Priti Patel ... but no ...🧵

Turns out @mcuban.bsky.social was correct

Thinking sensibly and rationally, Scottish Independence is now the ONLY prudent option.

Unless you want the facist, English Nationalist, Nigel Farage, as your next UK Prime Minister.

Which surely no enlightened person in Scotland does?

US will abandon efforts to end the war in Ukraine if it proves impossible to broker meaningful progress in the next several days, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

He also said that US advises EU to drop sanctions on Russia to reach a “deal.”

..So all you did was align with Russia for nothing?

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.
