Complain that immigrants in the UK don’t learn English or integrate… then fly to Spain, speak zero Spanish, and form a British-only street party to shout about immigration. You couldn’t make it up 😂

"The US military plans raise serious questions about Washington’s commitment to turning the ceasefire announced last month into an enduring political settlement with Palestinian rule across Gaza, which was promised by Donald Trump." theguardian.com/world/2025/nov…


Scotland doesn’t want, nor does it need, more ex-Tory Reform politicians.

Scotland doesn't want, nor does it need, more mass uncontrolled immigration. Let's upskill our own workforce and put locals first. thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…



Honestly, lost for words.

Me: sinking pints. Reeves: sinking the economy.

Sir Michael Palin is absolutely right, it is frankly shocking that hospices rely so heavily on charitable donations, it is this sector that needs funding and support, rather than ushering in a private market in assisted suicide.

"If we're cutting down hospices people are going to suffer." Sir Michael Palin, whose wife spent the final weeks of her life in a hospice, delivers a message to the Chancellor about the importance of funding hospice care ahead of the budget. #Newsnight

Today in Edinburgh, we joined @PatMillsUK to bring the ‘Tax Us, the Super-Rich’ bus to town. Millionaires have a message for @RachelReevesMP: Tax us more. Fairer taxes on wealth could help lift people out of poverty and fund the future we all deserve #TaxJusticeScotland

Labour hate being reminded that between 1999 & 2007 when they were in office they managed to build a grand total of SIX council houses. At the same time they sent Billions of unspent money back to the UK Treasury. Money that could have been spent on housing or tackling poverty.

It's a little known fact that Otis Redding spent time in Hoy, #Orkney during the 1920s while engineer Ernest Cox carried out salvage work on the scuttled German fleet, as shown in this photograph. Otis was often seen sitting on the dock in Mill Bay, watching the tide roll away.

If NHS trusts hadn’t had to pay more than £1.8 billion in *interest charges* to private companies, that money could have paid for the starting salaries of over 50,000 NHS doctors 😮🚨


Good to see you following the Scottish Government (again) but why so long to take this necessary step? #newdirection theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/n…

Great news. but let’s be clear, Reeves didn’t get here willingly. She had to be pushed, prodded, and cajoled to this point. A nasty tory policy maintained by Labour for far too long. Vindication for @alisonthewliss & everyone who has fought for this since it’s introduction.

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full* "I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Nuclear spending by the MoD was the subject of "qualified opinion" by the National Audit Office (NAO) - with £billions reportedly unaccounted for. Unlimited money for omnicide weapons - cuts and tax rises for the rest of us. This nuclear nightmare is financially unsustainable.

Does @YvetteCooperMP really not realise: - we all know who is blocking the aid - her government is doing absolutely *nothing* to hold Israel to the terms of the ceasefire (that it tried to take credit for) A plaintive tweet like this, in place of any action, just exposes them.

In Jordan last week I saw warehouses full of aid still waiting to get into Gaza even though families are still going hungry. All aid routes must be opened and aid restrictions lifted now.
