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.

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.

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??

"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 #bbcdn

@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.

Starmer on Sept 10th: "Full due process was followed during this appointment" Starmer on Feb 5th: "There was then security vetting carried out independently by the security services, which is an intensive exercise that gave [Mandelson] clearance for the role" He was lying.

@overlandertheb1 Oh well. But Seòras Mòr and his gormless minions @scot_gov's Agricultural Troughs Directorate will have been obliged to read it.

I am *very* keen to know who controls Craiganour Estate on the north side of Loch Rannoch. That person, who I think is an Englishman resident in France, is *very* keen not to be known. I think he'll pay the £10,000 fine and refuse to surface.

E-mail to Police Scotland's professional standards people. It's very hard to know what the law is but if there was a six-month time limit on the offense I reported it does seem quite important for the police to act in that context.
