A lesson on how the UK works ...

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

NEW: We often hear that Scotland’s more progressive income tax is “driving people out the country.” New HMRC data shows the opposite. Far more taxpayers are moving to Scotland than leaving it. Let’s look at the data 🧵

Yep this is the start to slowly close down Holyrood and strip Scotland of its identity while raping our natural resources They’re not even hiding it now

It could've been you Edinburgh. It used to be you Edinburgh. But Labour took your computer, and gave it to Oxbridge. Better Together? BBC News - Quantum computing and AI to get £2.5bn to stop UK tech 'drifting abroad', Reeves vows bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit? Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it? Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite? It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

🇬🇧 Compare these recently announced UK Defence Growth Deals: 🤨 Wales, Portsmouth & Yorkshire - £50m with no strings attached. ❓ Scotland - £20m with a requirement for £10m match funding from Scot Gov. 🥀 Labour are an utter disgrace!

NHS waiting lists down for 8 months in a row. Most Scots paying less tax than the rest of the UK. Peak rail fares scrapped. Child poverty falling in Scotland. Walk in GP centres. The best of cost-of-living package in the UK and a plan to get young people onto the housing ladder. That’s what you get with a Scottish Government that's on your side. #BothvotesSNP

UK GOVERNMENT PUT ON NOTICE: It is only fair to tell your landlord that you will be moving out shortly.

@BBCBreaking No thank you

US President Donald Trump urges UK and other nations to send ships to help secure key Strait of Hormuz oil trade route bbc.in/4cMVSj2

BREAKING: The US and Israel’s attacks on Iran breached international law – so both nations’ militaries would be banned outright from an independent Scotland, John Swinney has said

While Trump sucks Putin's balls for cash, France stays on the side of the democratic world. Macron: "In no case should an increase in the price of oil lead us to change our position with regard to Russia."

FIFA suspended Russia because of the conflict with Ukraine. The US and Israel have attacked Iran. Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and attacking Lebanon as well. Why is @FIFAcom not acting against them? The US should not be hosting the World Cup.

EVEN MORE SUCCESS IN SCOTLAND’S NHS.. Fortunately our NHS is in the hands of the SNP Government and NOT an English Party.

Why isn’t a newspaper south of the border willing to spell out what the overwhelming majority of us want?

A group of children bring doughnuts to the firefighters in Union Street. This the Glasgow I love not Sarwar and Baillies version.

let me get this straight a team will not be playing in the FIFA World Cup because they are currently being bombed by the FIFA Peace Prize winner

This is a classic argument for independence, many thousands of Scots rely on heating oil to heat their homes & supply hot water: x.com/Clyde1News/sta… We need our own government to regulate our own energy market. @GOVUK couldn't care less about rural Scotland.
