OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.
As @goodlawproject.org have pointed out, among many others, Palantir is a company inextricably linked to the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, and the Labour government as a whole. When they come out with scary shit like this it is time to cut ties, fast.

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.

Faiza Shaheen: "This just sends a message.. that this is a group of elites that support each other, that help each other regardless of the types of behaviour.. this really stinks & I think many people wont understand the particulars but what they will hear is this is corruption"
Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:
Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.
I've told my family to stay away.
Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

So Starmer, over the head of the Scottish Government, vetoed a Chinese built wind turbine factory in Scotland on “security” grounds but not only ignored Mandelson’s Epstein links but that he failed his security vetting due to his Chinese links

Corrosive complacency? Maybe we should take a closer look at the MOD. My column in tomorrow's Sunday National
Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has won a prestigious award for her 'visionary leadership' at an international event in Iceland
Yes. I feel very uncomfortable when I visit family now. It’s the resentment & rudeness that strikes me most.
Down from Scotland visiting friends in SE England. From one of the least densely populated areas of Europe to one of the most. The difference is so noticeable: not just in traffic and noise, but everyone seeming more nervous and on edge. And, of course, the flags.

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 16, 2026 ~ a hard wind
"... we now need a 'Category 6' rating for hurricanes with winds of 193 mph (311 km/h) or greater, because global warming is expected to cause significant increases in maximum potential intensity."
The London parties were forced to answer "if the UK is a voluntary union, what's Scotland's route out" at last night's Peebles hustings.
I can see why they normally refuse to answer...
Reform: "if it were voluntary the SNP would have already taken us out: no idea what the route is"

The National has, in my opinion, done more than most media to lead the narrative rather than follow it, writes Richard Murphy ✍️

Tesco sells 25,000 food and beverage items

The unionists believe this makes the SNP:
Communists🤣
Determined to destroy the economy 🤣
Risking cheap cheese exports to England 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The UK government issues its own currency. It cannot run out of money in the same way that a household or a business can. The real constraint is not financial. It is political will. And right now, Rachel Reeves and the EU are choosing austerity at precisely the moment governments must spend.
Rachel Reeves has said she wants to cut the link between electricity and gas prices in the UK to reduce exposure to volatile fossil-fuel costs.
“It’s quite a big change but I think it is absolutely the right thing to do — especially as electricity makes up an increasing part of our energy mix”
Rachel Reeves said she wants to cut the link between wholesale gas and electricity saying that she and Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, would set out more details within days on ways of ensuring the wholesale price of electricity is set more often by renewables
