@EricLDaugh That’ll be the ballistic capabilities Trumpy said he obliterated then eh?

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just scored total vindication on the world stage as it has been CONFIRMED Iran is capable of deploying ballistic missiles at Berlin, Paris, Rome and other parts of Europe The Diego Garcia attack proved it. TRUMP KNEW

@ShaykhSulaiman Erm, did the US and Israel now attack them first??

BREAKING: LEADERS OF 22 COUNTRIES IN A JOINT STATEMENT ON IRAN & STRAIT OF HORMUZ: Joint statement from the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Denmark, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Czechia, Romania, Bahrain, Lithuania, and Australia on the Strait of Hormuz. We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817. Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The effects of Iran's actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable. Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations. We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning. We welcome the International Energy Agency decision to authorise a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. We will take other steps to stabilise energy markets, including working with certain producing nations to increase output. We will also work to provide support for the most affected nations, including through the United Nations and the IFIs. Maritime security and freedom of navigation benefit all countries. We call on all states to respect international law and uphold the fundamental principles of international prosperity and security.

@EunisJassemi @ScottishLabour @Labour_Bill Do you support your boss in allowing the US to use UK airfields to kill kids in the ME?

We’re hitting the doors in Drumchapel with a big team today, brilliant energy and positive conversations. People in Drumchapel feel forgotten by the SNP. Only @ScottishLabour will stand up for Drumchapel and Glasgow Anniesland. On May 7th, Vote local. Vote for change. 🌹

@donaldlabour @ScottishLabour @Torcuil Smiling while yer boss allows the US to use UK airfields to kill children in the ME.

The election in Na h-Eileanan an Iar and across Scotland is a clear choice between @ScottishLabour and the SNP. Great to be out speaking to voters in Balallan today!

@misterameen Do you support Starmer allowing the US to use UK airfields to kill kids in the ME?

A clear explanation on why you need to vote Scottish Labour for Glasgow Southside #ScottishLabour

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan Bring them on..

@68Davier @Dungarbhan As part of the UK you don’t have to worry about any debt. There would be some difficult decisions to make after Independence however…

Scotland has no deficit. The UK assigns a disproportionate part of its deficit to Scotland.

@PaulJSweeney @GeorgeFoulkes @ScottishLabour Do you support Starmer allowing the US to use UK bases to kill children in Iran?

I'm standing to be the MSP for Easterhouse and Springburn to put the priorities our community first. A huge thank you to those who have already donated to my campaign. Every donation goes towards electing a @ScottishLabour MSP for Easterhouse and Springburn. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/paul-sweeney…

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan So the Scottish government, balances their finances but have no say on the debt awarded to us? Sounds great.😊

@68Davier @Dungarbhan Yes sorry, I assumed you already knew we have a devolved assembly in Scotland…

@misterameen Do you support Starmer allowing the US to launch attacks on Iran?

A clear explanation on why you need to vote Scottish Labour for Glasgow Southside

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan Under devolution..

@68Davier @Dungarbhan Why not go straight to GERS Davie, it’s all prepared for you by the SG after all. I am going to enjoy the sun…

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan So what is this reserved spending then, that causes the deficit? What is it made up of?

@68Davier @Dungarbhan Yes there is a thing called reserved spending Davie which covers all other spending in Scotland including things like pensions for all our pensioners. This is currently paid from WM.

Scotland has a choice. It can continue being a place where you’re burdened with ever higher tax bills for worsening public services – a place of managed decline and mid-table mediocrity. Or it can be a place where effort and ambition are rewarded, encouraging expansion and growth. With Reform, our first budget would cut Scottish income tax so that it’s the lowest in the UK for everyone. And despite what Holyrood’s cosy consensus will try to tell you, it doesn’t take much. It requires just 3% of the budget to be trimmed. I spent decades turning businesses around, investing in those that had potential to make them profitable - that was my whole career! So I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that you can trim 3% of an organisation’s budget without any impact on frontline services – especially when it’s one as ridiculously bloated and bureaucratic as the Scottish Government. So I refuse to settle for the cosy consensus. I’m ambitious for Scotland, and I want Scotland to reward ambition. For change, the only choice on May 7th is Reform.

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan So, they balance their books for the spending they are responsible for…. So where does the spending come from that creates the deficit then?

@68Davier @Dungarbhan Oh Davie you are asking all the daft questions now , they need to balance the devolved spending which they are currently responsible for…

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan Thought they had to balance their books, being devolved and that?

@68Davier @Dungarbhan It’s very simple Davie , the SNP spends more than it brings in (revenue) ie they brought in £91M and spent £117.5M.

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan How have we got such a large deficit? Explain to me in Labrador…

@68Davier @Dungarbhan And do you think that goes away on Independence! Do you have no intention of paying pensions and other currently reserved benefits/spending to Scots on Independence?

@misterameen Do you support Starmer allowing the US to use UK airfields to murder civilians in Iran?

I'm campaigning against SNP parking measures across Glasgow Southside that act like a stealth tax. Residents have had little say, are being forced to give up their cars, and local businesses are at risk. #ScottishLabour

Scotland used to have a Stock Exchange Scotland to have a steel industry. Scotland used to have an oil refinery. Now we have none. England does. How’s that union working out for us?

@GMan86159160 @Dungarbhan Under devolution..

@Dungarbhan I assume you haven’t read GERS , showing a whopping £26.5B deficit. I thought you would at least read a document generated by the SNP…

@SamanthaTaghoy @JohnCleese Was it not to do with killing a cop?

19 year old Iranian wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi was just publicly executed for protesting against the Islamic Regime. So, to all liberal Westerners: Watch and learn. This is what it’s like to ACTUALLY live in a nation with no free speech.

@ThatTimWalker @Readtheroom2 @Keir_Starmer Blood on their hands.

I don’t see carpet bombing residential neighbourhoods as ‘defensive,’ so maybe @Keir_Starmer, with his fine legal mind, needs to think of a new word to justify our complicity in this illegal activity.
