This morning I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice @angelaconstance.bsky.social MSP to register our concern over plans by the Home Secretary to provide new protest policing powers to police forces in England and Wales and to ascertain if the CabSec intends to mirror this in Scots law.

Shows how scared they are of loosing there seats. Especially too Reform.
This is ridiculous in the extreme. The fact the Tangerine Tyrant is over here (despite most of us being in opposition to it and only 16% of Brits having a positive view of Trump) and the police are doing everything they can to remove any visible opposition is pathetic.

More than 13,000 heroin and opioid deaths have been missed off official statistics in England and Wales, raising concerns about the impact on the government's approach to tackling addiction.

More of this, Israel needs to feel the full consequences of its genocidal rampage
She actually thinks the Nazis supported trans people. I suppose being thicker than a Burns Night turd is an advantage when you're as much of a raging bigot as she is.
Florence Pugh speaks up at the "Together for Palestine" fundraiser:
"Silence in the face of such suffering is not neutrality, it is complicity. Pressure on the governments."
