@StephenFlynnSNP @HumzaYousaf It’s annoying that the fact they are not striking in Scotland is not mentioned on BBC or Channel 4 news when covering the resident doctors’ striking in England. Good NHS Scotland news is not covered only negative stories. The national news bulletins are reporting for England only

🟪 Nigel Farage is leading in UK wide polls, but not in Scotland. The prospect of Farage entering Downing Street with a massive majority is no longer a far-fetched sideshow; it may happen. 🔎 Here is what you need to know: believeinscotland.org/bring_on_farag…

Another extended family member killed as he went to the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for food. Ahmed couldn't bear to see his child without milk. They killed him, as they have so many others. Please listen & share these words from Nadia's cousin Sally who is in Gaza.

In November 2023 we organised a debate in the Commons demanding an immediate ceasefire. Starmer sacked Labour MPs who voted for it. Lammy abstained. Tens of thousands of murders later now he wants an immediate ceasefire. Shameless. #GazaGenocide

👉 92% of independence supporters back a Scottish Republic. 📊 Our 2025 Big Independence Movement Survey shows the clear majority want to replace the monarchy, with 58% preferring a system where a First Minister serves alongside an elected Head of State: bit.ly/45BAyYm

Ah this is interesting. Hoyle has form. He flew into a blind fury when I publicised a non-private letter he sent to me. Imagine how bad the contents of these e mails to Israeli politicians must be? MPs should demand to see them.
Martin Williams@martinrw

🚨 The @CommonsSpeaker, Lindsay Hoyle, has personally intervened to block the release of emails he sent to Israeli politicians. Hoyle flew to Israel on a “solidarity visit” in November 2023 and was photographed with the country's ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely. Responding to an FOI request by @declassifiedUK , Parliament said that Hoyle "has formed the reasonable opinion that disclosure of the information would be likely to prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs". It added: "The public interest test does not apply".

Utterly revolting. How could a woman with these monstrous attitudes work in a caring profession? “… the nurse at the centre of the NHS Fife trans row tribunal, mocked victims of floods in Pakistan that killed 1,700 people in a series of racist posts.” share.google/ZvCCgsgdsSANL4…

This, of course, is hugely offensive to folk from a working class background. Using racial slurs & obsessing about trans people is an active choice. And not a good one for a profession - nursing - dealing with a diverse population of patients.

Airdropping aid into Gaza is not success, it is a sign of the international community's failure to pressure Israel into allowing aid to Gaza while the population starves to death. Forget words of condemnation, they do nothing. Meaningful sanctions against Israel are needed now.

Why can't the Prime Minister just, for once, show some clarity of leadership and recognise Palestine - instead of offering this concoction of conditions and compromises? Just get on with it. #Gaza

How can Palestine be worth recognising if Israel continues to occupy, starve & attack but NOT worth recognising if Israel eases up for a while? A state either exists & deserves recognition or it doesn’t. Keir Starmer’s announcement today is more fiddling while Gaza burns.

“Starmer spoke of “a sense of revulsion in the British public over Gaza. Now he notices? The public were revolted when he was supporting cutting off water & power to #Gaza And when he was punishing Labour MPs who demanded an immediate ceasefire. Shameless. ft.com/content/a7074a…

🟥 UK Environment Secretary Steve Reed was allowed to state unchallenged on Channel 4 news that publicly-owned Scottish Water is producing worse outcomes than England’s private firms. 🔎 It is not a true statement according to any measure, here is why: believeinscotland.org/media_watch_sc…

Nadia's cousin Sally, and her four children are being starved by Israel. Millions in Gaza are being deliberately starved while Israel withholds food mere kilometres away. Words are not enough. Governments must act and force Israel to open the borders and allow aid to flow in.
