@JohnSwinney LETS TALK ABOUT ERADICATING CHILD POVERTY AND ABOLISHING COUNCIL TAX SHALL WE @JohnSwinney @ScotGovFM @theSNP @scotgov 🚨19 FUCKING YEARS🚨

Higher bills, rising costs, energy jobs disappearing. That’s the reality of Westminster control. Scotland’s energy wealth should work for people in Scotland. On May 7th, make it #BothVotesSNP.

@_sstrange @TinaWight2 Now get your Fingers and Toes out and divide 16.9 million by 27 + TURKEYS figures =28 👇👇👇

@PaulBmwTech @TinaWight2 And £10K off the price of a new BMW. Not sure how interested in the culture of European countries but you obviously don't care about economics.

@MattMcGowan2026 CHANGE YOU SAID F%%K WIT 👇

Scotland needs change and the polls are clear, Reform UK are crumbling, the SNP are on the slide and only Scottish Labour can beat the SNP in Cunninghame North.

@lukejcr IMAGINE TOTALY DESTROYING THE UK IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS CHARTERS LAD. 500.000+ MADE UNEMPLOYED. 200.000+ BUISNESES CLOSED. 6.500+ FARMS SHUT DOWN. 50.000+ PENSIONERS PUSHED INTO POVERTY. Etc. YOU HAVE TOTALY DESTROYED THE UK IN A YEAR +. @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour

Imagine holding your newborn child. And being told you have to go straight back to work, simply because you’ve just started a new job. That ends today. For all those hardworking parents who were denied those first precious days: Labour has delivered day one parental leave.

@DavyRussell4HLS @ScottishLabour ARE YOU ON FUCKING GLUE....

In Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, and many constituencies across Scotland, it is only @ScottishLabour that can beat the SNP. Vote for me to bring the change that Scotland needs on 7th May. x.com/Record_Politic…

@JChimirie66677 @Torydemocrats IF YOU VOTED FOR ME.... HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LAUGHED AT AND BE TOTALY F%%KING MUGGED OFF.. BY ME @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet @UKLabour .

Three former soldiers will appear at Belfast magistrates court on April 20th. One is charged with a killing that took place in May 1972. He is not accused of acting outside his orders. He is accused of acting within them. The distinction no longer appears to matter. This is the reality behind Labour's Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, a piece of legislation dressed in the language of reconciliation that functions, in practice, as an engine of persecution. The state that sent these men to Northern Ireland, that gave them their orders, that relied on their judgment in circumstances no minister has ever faced, is now the state that funds the machinery pursuing them through the courts half a century later. That is not a technicality. It is the central fact. Taxpayer money flows to the lawyers challenging the actions of soldiers whose actions were sanctioned by the taxpayer. The government calls this justice. General Sir Peter Wall, who commanded the British Army for four years, calls it something without moral backbone. He is right. The operational consequences are already visible. Elite soldiers are leaving the SAS and SBS rather than face the prospect of prosecution decades hence for missions carried out under government orders. The crisis has become sufficiently acute that reservists are being brought into the regular SAS to fill roles vacated by those walking out. Britain's most capable fighting force is being quietly hollowed out by a bill whose architects appear indifferent to the result. Seven former SAS commanders have warned that the legislation is doing the enemy's work, that operational secrets exposed through inquiries give hostile states a narrative of lawless troops. Moscow, Tehran and Beijing do not need to discredit British special forces. Westminster is doing it for them. The asymmetry at the heart of this legislation is not incidental. It is structural. IRA members were released under the Good Friday Agreement. Many destroyed evidence, stayed silent, or received letters guaranteeing they would not be pursued. Soldiers kept records, gave statements, and remained traceable. Decades later, only one group remains available for scrutiny. Not because they are more culpable, but because they are more reachable. The Coagh ambush of June 1991 illustrates the logic perfectly. Three IRA men were stopped by the SAS on their way to murder someone. A coroner ruled the force used was justified. Years later a family challenged that ruling, arguing the soldier should have paused after each shot to consider whether to fire the next one. A judge described that argument as ludicrous and utterly divorced from reality. The challenge continues, funded by legal aid, heard at the Court of Appeal just days ago. No verdict ends the process. The process is the punishment. Keir Starmer has said publicly he is absolutely confident there will be no vexatious prosecutions. Three soldiers will be in a Belfast court in sixteen days. His confidence has not reached them. The government insists its bill provides robust protections for veterans. General Sir Nick Parker, who oversaw the final operations in Northern Ireland, says ministers do not understand the duty of the state to stand by those who serve it. The duty to stand by those who serve is contractual, not sentimental. A soldier who follows orders in a war the state authorised cannot later be offered up as payment for political convenience. What is being constructed here is not a legacy process. It is a permanent legal industry, sustained by public money, targeting the most traceable participants in a conflict the state itself waged. The soldiers kept their records. That is now their liability. A serious country does not behave this way. This one, apparently, does. "Keir Starmer has said publicly he is absolutely confident there will be no vexatious prosecutions. Three soldiers will be in a Belfast court in sixteen days. His confidence has not reached them."

@MothinAli CREDIBLE 🤣🤣🤣

He's not going to get a free run anymore, Farage and his band of scam artists are going to be challenged at every step, there is now a credible opposition to the far right! join.greenparty.org.uk

@UKLabour You have been clear on LYING THROUGH YOUR BACK F%%KING TEETH @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet @UKLabour

We’ve been clear from the start.

Brexit has failed. If there was a referendum now the UK would overwhelmingly vote to rejoin the EU. It's "the will of the people"

@KarlTurnerMP @Nigel_Farage DO YOU REALLY WANT TO F%%KING GO THERE KARL LAD.....

They’ve also contributed to the NHS through NI all of their lives but you want that to be insurance based @Nigel_Farage? 🤷🏼‍♂️

@MatthewStadlen AND IN TODAYS EPISODE OF 👇

Two unpleasant experiences today. 1 Big man in his 20s/30s suddenly started threatening a young man who was with a female friend on the train I was travelling on. I went to sit next to the victim to protect him and his friend and called the police. 2 Drunk man in his 50s/60s at local store on the south coast throwing his weight around while waiting for the bus. Both white English men. Presumably those obsessed with cultural and ethnic identity will tell me I should be worried about white English culture after these two threatening encounters within the space of four hours?

@Peg1967 @RichardGCorbett

@PaulBmwTech @RichardGCorbett How wrong you are. He'll use it to win the next GE too 👌👍

Is Britain considering a return to the EU? encompass-europe.com/comment/is-bri…

@Keir_Starmer F%%K OFF @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet @UKLabour

Good Friday is a day of reflection, as Christians remember Christ’s sacrifice – and the values of compassion and hope that are at the heart of Easter. I wish Christians everywhere a peaceful day.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 FOR THE LOVE OF F%%KING GOD at some point @RupertLowe10 Says won't wash... A Candidate wouldn't go a miss...

🚨BREAKING: Rupert Lowe: “The Boriswave MUST be blocked!” In a recent X post: Rupert has said: “The Boriswave must be blocked, ILR must be revoked retrospectively if required. A Restore Britain Government would do what is needed to protect the interests of the British people.”

@JonathanBrash MEANWHILE OUTSIDERS YOUR F%%KING PARALLEL UNIVERSE YOU UTTER CLOWN @JonathanBrash 🤡 🚨TICK TOCK TICK F%%KING TOCK🚨

Talks us down with his bare faced lies at every turn. This man is a nasty little traitor. A puppet of foreign leaders.

Ed Miliband has sold us all out. The climate movement, the environmental sector - and most importantly - our future generations. No longer can Labour claim to have the odd minister who "gets it." They're bought and paid for.

@rec777777 @RichardGCorbett @reformparty_uk Inside @Keir_Starmer Head..... I HAVE A GREAT IDEA when we lobbied to remain we got totally fucked over in a GE so why not try it again... 🚨TICK TOCK TICK F%%KING TOCK🚨 @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet @UKLabour
