Labour now smearing the Deputy Political Editor for
The Scotsman. It's all falling apart.

I don't post on here anymore but it's disappointing a Labour MSP has suggested I am a liar for reporting what his party strategists have told me. It is a fact, simple arithmetic, that Anas Sarwar cannot be first minister without unionist parties, including Reform making it so.

Germany has once again approved millions of euros worth of arms exports to Israel. Germany has authorized exports worth many millions of euros to Israel so that the country can continue its unrestrained bombing campaign against Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran. In total, Germany granted Israel export licenses worth 10.44 million euros. With this, Germany declares its unconditional military support for Israel in various wars. This is appalling and inhumane. Disgusting. What has become of Germany? Once a globally respected country. And now – utterly devastated. How much longer will Germany allow itself to be bossed around by Israel? War crimes? What does that even mean?

🚨🇧🇪 JUST IN: Belgium just seized two British military shipments bound for Israel. At Liège Airport. 33 crates. Military components including lasers, sights, fire control systems, and aircraft parts.
The cargo arrived by truck from the UK. It was supposed to fly to Tel Aviv on a Challenge Airlines flight. Belgian customs stopped it after NGOs tipped them off about irregularities in the manifest.
Why? Because Belgium has a ban on military equipment transiting to Israel. These items lacked the required permits. So they were seized. On the spot.
A European country just blocked British weapons from reaching Israel. Not Iran. Not Russia. Israel. And the shipments came from the UK, one of Israel's closest allies.
The NGOs that tipped off Belgian customs? Declassified UK and Vredesactie. British journalists helped stop British weapons.
The world is changing. Even Europe is drawing lines. The question now is how many more shipments will get stopped before the public finds out.

HEGSETH: “Threatening commercial ships transiting international waters is piracy.”
ALSO HEGSETH: “Two oil tankers were seized overnight. We’re going to take their 50 million barrels of oil and sell it.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable. These are not serious people.

Scottish Labour’s Paul O’Kane and the SNP’s Alison Thewliss clash over claims made by Reform UK Scotland leader Malcolm Offord that Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar privately approached him to work together, which Sarwar has called “nonsense” #bbcdn

WHAT?! Did I just hear this right from Labour’s Emily Thornberry?
She was asked “Do you think this could sink the Prime Minister?” in regard to Starmer misleading the Public and the House that Mandelson had passed the Security Vetting when he hadn’t.
Her answer? “No because he was reading from a script” and “He’s only a human being”
What the hell did I just listen to??

Just to be really clear the 'Scottish Media' (which consists of about 8 men who are pals) are freaking out: bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/04/15/sco…

"Other nuclear powers in the world are playing fast and loose... it's important that we have that capability"
Scottish Labour's Paul O’Kane says while he “aspires” to a nuclear weapon free society, we “live in a very uncertain world" and need a nuclear deterrent

@bbcdebatenight A nuclear deterrent that is inopperable without the consent of the rogue state that is causing much of the global chaos.🤨

This clip begins with Paul O'Kane bemoaning the global uncertainty triggered by Washington's illegal war and concludes with his insistence that Britain requires a nuclear deterrent, which is inoperable without the consent of the US. Infuriatingly incoherent.

Keir Starmer is a dead man walking. Despite the Iran war he cannot cling to office indefinitely. Are Labour MPs really going to say they just don't remove failed leaders as Tories do?
Starmer said Mandelson had been given "clearance for the role" which looks like a direct lie.
