Expect the atmosphere probably a touch more 'horrible' in Rafah tonight
BREAKING: Israel’s performance at tonight's #Eurovision2024 jury show was drowned out by boos and ‘Free Palestine’ chants One X user called the atmosphere in the venue ‘horrible’ and said you could ‘feel the tension’ in the arena trib.al/nYKYY8O

Just shows the arbitrary nature of voter ID rules - the government gets to decide what counts, and what doesn't
I’m not one for complaining but I am gutted! I spent 27 years in the Army and today I was going to vote in my local elections. I was sadly turned away at the door as my Veteran ID was not allowed as formal ID. I will be fighting for this “special ID” to be “more” formal🇬🇧
This is a very important piece by @libby_brooks about "sextortion", something everyone with teenagers should be aware of.
I'd urge everyone with teenagers in their life to read this: I'm very grateful to the parents of 16-year-old Murray Dowey for speaking to me, as @NCA_UK launch an alert to educators across the UK warning them of the devastating consequences of sextortion theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
#BufferZones will be debated in @ScotParl today. A really significant milestone on the journey from proposed legislation to law. We caught up with @GillianMacMSP, who proposed the bill, to talk about why safe access to abortions is so important. buff.ly/3QoyUTh
Attacks on the MSP group from within a minority in the SGP membership are wild. Protest is important, but achieving in parliament is about driving a hard bargain & the art of compromise. This didn't just happen via the BHA but everyday work of Mark & Maggie etc.
Time for climate denial and covering Scotland in tarmac!
Fergus Ewing calls for SNP government with new focus on oil and gas heraldscotland.com/news/24278370.…
Interesting where the Venn diagram of twitter users who 1. Want to abolish devolution 2. Deny climate science 3. Mock an MSP for being tearful that 2+ years of work to stop the harassment of women attending abortion services has been dropped by a hysterical FM coalesces tonight
Personally I think it’s good if MSPs openly care about the work they do. I don’t know Gillian Mackay well and I have zero party affiliation but I’d rather have elected representatives find our politics meaningful than treat it as a game or a set of norms that render it trite.
It might be helpful to remember that the Scottish Greens polled at least five TIMES as many votes as the ABLA party at the last election, and that ABLA voters more often than not placed the Conservatives above indy-supporting parties in preference.
The beginning of the end?
That the SNP is a broad church is well-known, but what we have seen this morning is a First Minister struggling to keep them all inside the tent. Ditching the coalition partners may silence voices from the right, but makes his government more vulnerable in Holyrood.
Oh
🚨 NEW: Labour has rejected an EU offer to allow UK freedom of movement for 18-30-year-olds [@guardian]
Sacked his shadow environment minister after getting wined and dined by Big Oil.
Scotland has the only Green Party in the world that’s rowing back on climate targets.
Some prominent SNP voices had been calling for a vote in their party on the future of the Bute House agreement between the two parties. But looks like it might be the Greens who go back to their members first…
