Wow, a day with no gas burned in Scotland's to generate electricity - but all of Scotland's customers charged the higher gas-fired electricty price. Only independence will end this lunacy. Don't let this go on any longer.

It seems preparations have begun for strikes on Iran announced by Trump. E-3 Sentry AWACS, Luxembourg registration LX-N90453, is currently operating over Turkey. Two Bayraktar TB-2 drones are also operating on the Turkish-Iranian border. The Boeing E-3 Sentry is equipped with an AN/APY-1 or AN/APY-2 radar. Its target detection capabilities depend on the aircraft's altitude and the type of target. Thanks to its pulse-Doppler mode, the radar eliminates ground clutter and can detect targets up to 400 km away. For objects in free space (above the horizon), the detection range is approximately 650 km.

The Unionist technique of sharing blame btw the UK govt (full control of the economy & energy and with national borrowing powers) with a regional parliament on a block grant. Scotland's a region until there's a Westminster failure and then it turns into an all powers parliament.
Ian Murray MP@IanMurrayMP

It was first in my in-tray too as Scottish secretary but it was simply too late as Tories & SNP done nothing to prevent closure. It suddenly became of interest to SNP & Tories after the ‘24 Election. Charlatans that sat on their hands. We’ve delivered nearly £500m in response.

@bigbenn1e @paulhutcheon @STVColin Ask the question correctly and it answers itself. "Why is the North British media not showing any interest in the Joani Reid, labour MP, scandal in the run up to a Scottish election?"

Let me get this straight: Israel targets a Christian neighborhood, kills a member of a Christian party that is pro-Israel yet somehow the reporter pivots to Christian fears of “the consequences” of hosting Shia refugees because “They don’t know who they are.” Make it make sense!

Iran (I.R.of) Embassy in UK
For decades, Iran, as a responsible state, ensured the security of global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz at no cost. Today, the Israeli and U.S. regimes have plunged the region into instability through aggressive attacks, civilian casualties, assassinations, and the destruction of vital infrastructure. Iran is defending itself and remains committed to ensuring safe and secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz. It is recommended that the British government stand on the right side of history.
Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office@FCDOGovUK

Today, the UK convened representatives from more than 40 countries to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, and the urgent need to restore freedom of navigation for international shipping, and see the Strait reopened once more.

BREAKING NEWS: The UK armed forces worked with the US military to halt an Iranian defence operation yesterday. After the Americans continued its massive assaults, dropping 300 to 400 bombs a day on Iran, the Iranians fired defensive drones to try to damage the bases of the attackers. But the British stopped them. “Overnight, RAF Regiment gunners, operating in a high threat area, successfully downed multiple Iranian drones,” the UK Ministry of Defence said in a statement yesterday. The UK, bizarrely, classifies Iranian’s self-defence efforts as “attacks”, and the active British partnership with the US and Israel attackers as “defensive”. . UK 'WORKS CLOSELY' WITH US UK Typhoons, British F-35 jets, plus Voyager and Royal Navy Merlin and Wildcat helicopters, are also active in Eastern Mediterranean, Jordan, Bahrain and UAE. “We continue to work closely in coordination with allies,” the MoD statement said. Surveys show that the British public is strongly against the US-Israel attack on Iran, but UK Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper is leading an international effort to rebrand it, with joint statements hiding all references to the US-Israel attack and portraying Iran as the sole aggressor.

So, if I got that right, here's the narrative: - A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (apnews.com/article/donald…) - The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116351956955900185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…) - He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (time.com/article/2026/0…) - U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (x.com/ByChrisGordon/…) - To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (bbc.com/news/articles/…), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan_N…) - They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (time.com/article/2026/0…) - Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (x.com/Afshin_Ismaeli…) - Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (turkiyetoday.com/region/wreckag…). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft. - Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (#47863db0-d61e-51bf-b7e1-6c4a9dc988e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued." - In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). - And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is. So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous. Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (@realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky. Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling...

So the nation with all the oil is experiencing the worst petrol and diesel shortages in Britain at the moment, after the UK government that literally promised to save our last refinery allowed it to be closed. See the problem? I certainly fecking do 🫵🏻! @ScottishLabour @mgshanks

MAJOR: According to Israeli channel 14: "Hezbollah fired an anti ship missile today and hit a British warship in front of Lebanese shores. The Israeli assessment is that Hezbollah thought it was Israeli. The British warship was hit and damaged." If this was true, the ship was mostly a type 45 HMS Diamond or Defender, specialised in air defense and helping in suppressing Iranian ballistic missiles targeting Israel, and protecting Cyprus British bases. It might be an escort frigate type 23. This is wonderful.
