Thank you to everyone who has decided to follow me on this new and hopefully temporary account. I don't think this qualifies as a "sock account" and it feels at this stage a bit like howling into the wind, but I see nothing wrong with that if what is said is true and good. Merci.

The SNP has increased taxes on higher incomes. Not on wealth. Don’t you understand the difference in the Numpty Nursery? What have you done to tackle wealth inequality? What have you done to those who ‘hoard wealth’? Who are they? Name them. Or are you simply referring to folks who save — savings that are then invested. If this is what passes for economic discourse in Scotland then it truly is run by a kakistocracy. I despair.
Pete Wishart@PeteWishart

Excellent response from Laurie to the 'higher Scottish rate of tax' stuff we always get. There will always be 'reasons' why we shouldn't try to make tax more progressive & leave those that hoard wealth alone. But we should always do what we can to try and tackle wealth inequality

It isn't only Spain's borders that have been breached. The great edifice of linguistic gymnastics has taken a bit of a battering too. For years we were told the real danger wasn't losing control of the border. It was using the wrong noun to describe it. Don't say "illegal immigrant". Don't say "invasion". Don't say "crisis". Heaven forbid you should offend the thesaurus. Raise so much as an eyebrow about mass illegal immigration and you risked being dismissed as a right-wing extremist, a racist, or simply someone who didn't understand the complexity of it all. Europe has become remarkably adept at border control of one particular kind. Not the sort involving fences, coastguards or passport checks, but the policing of adjectives. We couldn't stop tens of thousands crossing a frontier, but by goodness we could stop someone saying something impolite about it. There is something wonderfully surreal about a political culture that can convene a seminar on inclusive terminology before it can secure a border crossing. Orwell wouldn't be asking for royalties. He'd be asking who plagiarised him. The real lesson from Ceuta isn't simply that Spain has a border problem. It's that Europe has spent years policing speech more vigorously than sovereignty. We've spent so long rewriting the dictionary that we've forgotten to lock the front door. It turns out changing the language doesn't change reality. It merely delays the moment when reality barges through the front door. Anyone who thinks this begins and ends in Spain is fooling themselves. Events on Europe's southern frontier have a habit of rippling north. They shape politics, border policy and public confidence across the continent, including here in the UK. Perhaps the biggest question is the one too few people seem willing to ask. Who fed tens of thousands of people on their journey? Who told them where to go? Why that border? Why that day? Movements of this scale do not simply materialise out of thin air. Whether the answer turns out to be traffickers, social media, organised criminal networks, state actors or some combination of all four, Europe owes its citizens an honest explanation. A democratic nation has both the right and the duty to control who enters its territory. That isn't right-wing extremism. It's one of the first responsibilities of any functioning state. If we no longer believe that, perhaps sensible people should stop pretending we still have a fully functioning democracy or a state that is fulfilling its most basic duty to its own citizens.

Moroccan authorities are complicit in this. At what point do people wake up to the fact this is an invasion?

@yuanyi_z I've now become in awe of him. This is an academic speech he made in 2023. It's 46 minutes of pure rambling in which he uses racial buzzwords like 'decolonisation' several times every minute. At no point is a point made. How did he get away with this? youtube.com/watch?v=H30IeW…

Absolutely heartbroken and furious on behalf of @rachelsfletcher. In yet another parallel universe, an exemplary female police detective has been sacked without notice today for complaining (in the office, no members of public around) about male violence, misogyny, sexual violence, and her fear that the force capture re gender woo would mean female officers may be required to strip-search male suspects. Total disgrace, and a terrible loss not only of a career, but to the victims of male predators she helped bang up.

Your party backed a supertax on oil companies in the North Sea. Your party opposed new licenses in the North Sea. Why are you surprised BP has decided to pack it in? Nauseating hypocrisy to affect to be now concerned about jobs and communities.
Lara Bird SNP@larabirdsnp

🚨 BP’s decision to sell its North Sea business is a wake-up call for Westminster. 😶 Warm words won’t protect jobs in our community, bolster energy security or drive investment. ⚡️ The UK Government must end the supertax, back workers and deliver a just, managed transition for the North Sea.

@afneil Andrew! This guy's tweet would have had an audience of 29 -- his 28 followers and you. You've just given him an audience of 1.2 million. Why do you insist on responding to this stuff? Do you think you look strong, or clever? Are you that bored? Just ignore the damned bots.

It’s sad to see Spaniards crying over an Arab Islamic invasion. Now imagine you were surrounded by Arab Muslim countries that wanna invade you too. This is what it is to be Israel every day, Spaniards. Except Israel had it way “worse” on Oct 7.
