Fucksake, why can't you people [English leftists] just be normal?

John Swinney backs pledge for tough Russia curbs and support for Ukrainian refugees JOHN Swinney has committed to a series of pledges including “resisting Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine” ahead of the 2026 Holyrood…

Well done @johnswinney.bsky.social and all other signatories of the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign Scotland's Five Pledges, standing up for Ukraine and for refugees against Russia and their xenophobic lapdogs

This is as disgusting as it is worrying. It seems Labour are happy to throw Ukrainian refugees under a bus if it means they can do an alliance with Reform. 😡

A facebook post from Ukraine Solidarity Campaign Scotland showing Ross Greer signing their 5 pledges for Scottish parliamentary candidates

In fact

Oh and Tommy Sheridan, who's been in about eight different parties in his time

I think his latest outfit is Alliance to Liberate Scotland or something

There's Your Party Scotland, whose entire executive just quit after HQ meddling; Worker's Party GB which is George Galloway's ego trip Party, Alba which was Alex Salmond's ego trip party til he died- they might have disbanded but some members are claiming otherwise, the Scottish Socialist Party

Several, and they get on with each other like a bag of cats

*English and Welsh

The Scottish Party is separate and notably decent on Ukraine

HIGNFY appearance in 10 years or so

I hate Keir Starmer because he's made my life much worse. An ogre of a man with no backbone, no morals, no ideology. He's nothing. A puppet for McSweeney and his faction to control the party with.

You are wrong. The majority of the country dislike Starmer because he is provably a bad person.

The real political axis is Velma/Daphne by straight/queer

Indeed, Reform *hate* the SNP, and the SNP are main anti-Reform party.

Scottish Labour want to cut a deal with Reform to get into power. We're committed to keeping then out ✊️🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Don't push your politics of division, and smear us are Putin supporters just because we don't support the British state

The SNP are firmly pro-Ukraine

Actually, that's a lie, it's cause their president is Jewish. But still

Ukraine's government is not Zionist. I really do not know why people keep insisting otherwise, despite all evidence to the contrary

Also, y'know, he's a Scottish nationalist

Te press, GCs and other political opponents of trans people & transness have painted us as the aggressors

Why do the tabloids care where Beth Upton is now?

There is a vindictiveness to their work that suggests they don't want trans people to exist. Why is this glossed over

To answer the question, the sticking point for Labour candidates seems to be Pledge 4.

Given Sarwar's overtures to Offord, it seems clear that Labour want to get into bed with Reform in Scotland, and are happy to throw refugees under the bus to do it.

Why indeed?

Once again, 🇵🇸🇺🇦 is the objectively correct position

If you wish to counter this kind of genocidal apologia, I highly recommend Timothy Snyder's course of Ukrainian history, freely available on YouTube:

What are they gonna do? Ban me twice?

If they'd ban me for being a mild socdem, I might as well wish as much death on their president as I want

And Bengal. And Palestine.

have the prime ministers ever tried to be good

Amusing you'd say this, clearly assuming we wouldn't see it.

Tbf I think the British system at least generally functioned better in the era when public school instilled shame was still prevalent, and before cocaine was
