"every time he starts an illegal war, bills go through the roof, his fossil fuel backers make billions.... renewables Trump hates are the best insurance policy against the chaos he’s unleashed"

Tice ‘happy to put things right’ after ‘he failed to pay £100k in corporation tax’ Mr Tice said last year Angela Rayner would resign if she had “any moral decency” after admitting to underpaying stamp duty

Richard Tice deputy leader of Reform ran four shell companies which did not pay any tax on profits between 2020 and 2022.

He's now offering to "put things right".

Go on then Richard - resign.

That’s not what was reported, please be more accurate.
“She said countryside solar schemes should be smaller and locally operated, and called for a stronger drive for solar panels to be installed on rooftops of public and private buildings instead.”

As people get postal votes for the Scot Parl election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the real Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.

This is absolutely appalling. Last time @electlauramoodie.bsky.social of @scottishgreens.org just lost her place because of this dishonesty . @electoralcommission.org.uk why have you allowed this to happen again?

@electlauramoodie.bsky.social Excellent hustings in Peebles last night (16 April). Six candidates and an excellent atmosphere. Very impressed by @electlauramoodie.bsky.social Organised, knowledgeable, calm and informative. Such hard work for candidates travelling around this huge constituency.

Sad news out of Russia.

Government security vetting | Institute for Government How does the UK government's national security vetting system work?

With the Peter Mandelson appointment as UK ambassador to the US back in the headlines, it's worth understanding how the UK government's national security vetting system actually works.

Our explainer sets out the process:

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

So it’s not just me! It comes and it goes.

Pls repost for the postal voters @gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social

No Peter I haven't heard. Which policy are you citing?

Every Single Labour MP who is a member of Labour Friends of Israel is 100% complicit with Netanyahu's genocide of Palestinians

My prediction for the outcome of the Scottish Parliament election:

(1) The SNP will form the next Scottish Government. 👍

(2) It will fall short of a majority, so no referendum will follow.

or

(3) The SNP secure a majority and there will still be no referendum.

This is one of the most awful pieces I’ve ever read on the subject of assisted dying. Written by someone who hasn’t a clue about the dying process and what’s involved. He states
”Legalising the practice inherently endangers human life.” Ehm yes the person who decides is actually very close to death!

Watching #BBBScotland #Debatenight I am absolutely fed up with some of the politicians constantly interrupting. I highlight @anassarwar.bsky.social as the main culprit. It DOES NOT WORK and turns public off politics. @ross-greer.bsky.social did not behave this way and spoke clearly and to the point.

Just read it and decide for yourself.
I think it is spot on, 💯.

It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Scotland has huge potential, but we need the political will to capitalise on it.

We can build up our offshore wind, tidal and wave energy, green supply chains and renewables manufacturing.

We can ensure long-term, secure jobs and wealth are created and kept in Scotland.

Why Scotland needs a four-day working week - Lorna Slater There is a quiet revolution taking place in how we think about work. For generations, the five-day working week has been treated as fixed, almost natural. But just as past generations fought for weekends, for paid holidays and for safer workplaces, we now stand on the brink of the next step forward, a four-day working week.

⏰ A shorter working week also speaks to the kind of country we want to build. Scotland already has longer working hours than many of our European neighbours. That comes at a cost, to our mental health, to our families and to our communities.

Images of letter

I signed this letter calling on British and Irish govs to take action on Israel’s continued violations of international law. Specifically: 1) the issuing of tenders to build a new illegal settlement in Jerusalem, and 2) the Israeli gov’s ban on international NGOs in Palestine.

Bernie Sanders @berniesanders While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon. 1,461 have been killed. 4,430 have been injured. 1.2 million have been displaced. Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon. Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel. Bernie

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

MAGA morons want you to vote for Putin's man Hungary.

All countries MUST withdraw overflight, landing or refueling permission for US planes, with immediate effect. Too much is at stake to just wait and “hope” Trump will back down, or someone, somewhere in US system will intervene to stop him.

Of course speaking out is necessary but not sufficient.

But its the very least we should expect our government to be doing.

It's time to suspend all US military from UK soil.

And the clock is ticking.

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.

We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.

This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

Screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump): “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Threatening war crimes and mocking Islam isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness.

The PM should rule out UK forces and airfields being used for any attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure.

What more will it take for Starmer to call off the Royal Visit Trump craves?
