@StephenFlynnSNP Is it illegal? The views of an actual expert in International Law… youtu.be/y5zFggRFyZc?si…

An illegal war. And Labour should give Parliament a say over the UK’s involvement in it.

@theSNP Is it able to produce electricity WHEN it’s needed? No, it isn’t. That’s the thing about electricity, you expect it to be there when you flick a switch and not to have to wait until the wind arrives or the sun gets up.

Scotland generates more electricity than we use, yet we pay some of the highest energy bills in Europe. On May 7th, make it #bothvotesSNP for a fresh start with independence and lower energy bills.

@AgentP22 @furrybootsru I can remember when CalMac Ferries rarely made news and then only in the Oban Times.

“Turkish-built ferries arriving soon” Translation: SNP destroyed Scottish shipbuilding, wasted millions, and now we’re relying on foreign yards to bail them out. The SNP ferry fiasco is a masterclass in failure.

@Stevo71Tate @AgentP22 Irrelevant. Under the SNP, the lack of a rolling replacement programme is the root cause of CalMac’s current problems. You’ll be surprised to learn that more ferries were built by Mrs Thatcher than SNP managed in nearly 2 decades. shipsofcalmac.co.uk/ships

@AgentP22 All under unionist parties controlling Scotland. We struck oil and got foodbanks

Doris is suffering. Doris does not know she is suffering. The suffering has been inferred from a photograph posted on social media by someone who visited the fell in August, stood at the gate for four minutes, and looked at Doris looking back at them. "She looked so sad," the caption read. "Standing there alone in the rain. No shelter. Just staring." Let's assess the evidence. The rain: Doris has grazed through eleven consecutive days of horizontal Lake District rain without reducing her hours. The rain does not constitute suffering for an animal wrapped in eight centimetres of lanolin-coated fleece that actively repels moisture. The fleece is not a fashion choice. The fleece is a biological weather system. The aloneness: Doris is in a fell with other sheep. She grazes at distance from them because fell sheep are not herding animals in the lowland sense. They distribute across the landscape. Doris is not isolated. Doris is optimally positioned. The stare: Doris can recognise up to fifty individual sheep faces and ten human faces and remembers them for two years. She was not staring sadly. She was filing you. The shelter: the spot behind the east wall where Doris sleeps on cold nights is four degrees warmer than the exposed fell and has been her chosen location on every comparable night since her first winter. She did not look sad in August. She looked at the gate visitor in the specific way a prey animal looks at an unknown presence: assessing, not emoting. This is the anthropomorphism problem. We look at an animal experiencing its natural environment in the way it evolved to experience it, doing the things it is built to do, in conditions it is designed for, and we project onto it the emotional state we would have if we were standing in that field in those conditions. We would be cold. We would be lonely. We would look sad. Doris is not us. Doris is a fell sheep on a fell. The fell is what she is. The rain is her element. The aloneness is her preference. The stare is cognition, not grief. Doris's cortisol: normal, per the vet's annual check. Doris's welfare domains: no concerns across all five, per the farmer's records. Doris's opinion of the caption: she has filed the photographer's face. Doris will remember that face for two years. Doris is grazing. Doris has always been fine. We are the ones who needed the shelter.

The Highland cow is not a decorative species. The fringe is extraordinary, the calves look like something a child would ask for at Christmas, and yes, the Instagram presence is formidable. But this animal also winters outside on Scottish upland: unhoused, unexcitable, completely unbothered, in conditions that would end most livestock operations by November. The double coat is not aesthetic. The dense inner layer and long rain-shedding outer layer maintain core temperature in horizontal Scottish rain at 400 metres. The Highland forages through snow, pushes through gorse, and grazes steep heathy tussocky terrain no sheep touches in the same way. Its foraging creates heterogeneity: the mosaic of grazed patches, lightly browsed areas, and disturbed scrub margins that supports more species than uniform vegetation ever manages. The Highland was managing this landscape before the habitat management plan existed and will be managing it after the current round of reports is filed. The fringe keeps the rain off its eyes. At 400 metres in Scotland, that is a practical engineering solution rather than a stylistic choice.

The global food system has a fertiliser problem. Actually, it has several. In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia and Belarus together supply approximately 40% of the world's potash and a significant share of global nitrogen and phosphate. Fertiliser prices rose 200 to 300% across Europe overnight. Then China restricted fertiliser exports to protect domestic supply. The gap got wider. Then, in February 2026, the US and Israel struck Iran. The Strait of Hormuz, a 33-kilometre chokepoint carrying approximately one third of all global seaborne fertiliser trade, including nearly half the world's traded urea, closed. The Gulf states who had been filling the Russian supply gap could no longer export. Urea prices jumped 32% in a single week. Nearly a million metric tonnes of fertiliser cargo is currently stranded in the Gulf. Northern hemisphere spring planting is open right now. The arable system runs on synthetic nitrogen. No synthetic nitrogen, no yield. No plan B. Meanwhile, 65% of Britain's agricultural land is under grass. The cattle eat the grass. The clover in the grass fixes atmospheric nitrogen from the air. The cattle deposit the nutrients back as manure. The grass grows. The system has no dependency on Russian gas, Belarusian potash, Qatari urea, or the navigability of a chokepoint in a war zone. It has been running since before any of those things existed. There is a food production model that doesn't need fertiliser. It's called a cow. It has been in the field the entire time.

1/ Pro-independence organisation submits an FOI request to Scot Gov about bonds plan. Civil servants offer to meet with them because the cost limit exemption is likely to apply. So… I asked for a meeting about the same subject, with the same civil servants… and was rebuffed. 🤔

What people think cows do: - Steal water from the global poor - Produce planet-cooking methane - Block land that should be growing crops - Exist mainly in dystopian American feedlots - Store dangerous fats - Represent an indulgence we can no longer afford What cows actually do: - Drink rain and return it to the water cycle - Participate in a carbon loop that has been running since ruminants evolved - Grass in, methane out, oxidises back, grass again: a closed loop - Convert inedible grass into complete protein, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins - Turn crop byproducts into food that would otherwise go to waste - Aerate soil with their hooves - Spread seed in their dung - Support insect populations that would otherwise collapse - Stimulate root growth that sequesters carbon The methane from a cow on a British hillside is not the same as burning ancient fossil carbon. The people presenting them as equivalent know this. They've noticed you don't.

Two hospital explosions. Two @BBCNews narratives. One dominated headlines for days. The other disappeared within hours. This is evidence of anti-Israel bias. But it’s also something more. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Carnivore is not a purity cult. Nobody is monitoring your plate. There is no tribunal for the person who had potatoes at Christmas or fruit on holiday or a glass of wine because it was their anniversary and life is long. The strictness serves a purpose in the beginning. Remove all variables. Find the baseline. Understand what the body is like without interference. This is methodology, not morality. After the baseline is established, you make choices with information behind them. Coffee comes back for most people because coffee is good and the trade-off is negligible. Dairy comes back because butter and cream are animal products with genuine nutritional value. The occasional deviation happens because you're a person living a life. None of this undoes the metabolic foundation. None of this requires an apology. The diet is the tool. You are not the diet. Use it. Don't become it.

That's just 0.033% of its total mass – barely a blip. They're blaming air warming, but it's ocean currents doing the work, and there's no evidence of doom. Why the panic? Media loves a scare story.

@JohnSwinney Check the weather before posting. There is virtually no wind today so all of these windmills are sitting idle today.

Scotland produces huge amounts of renewable energy, but the UK's broken energy system means people's bills are through the roof. Scotland's energy should work for the benefit of people, not Westminster. On May 7th, vote SNP for the fresh start of independence, with lower bills.

If you entered a machine into a sustainability competition and it: Ran on rainfall. Required no electricity. Converted inedible fibrous plants into complete human nutrition. Built topsoil while operating. Self-replicated. Produced over a hundred byproducts. Had been field-tested for ten thousand years with zero recalls. It would win every category. It would beat the vertical farm, the precision fermentation facility, the insect protein pilot, and the lab-grown meat bioreactor. It would win and nobody would believe it because the winning machine looks like a cow standing in a field, and the losing entries look like the future. We have confused the aesthetics of innovation with its substance. Gerald is still in the field. The field is not waiting for anyone's permission.

Rubbish. Every day my feed is full of your nonsense Renewables are MORE EXPENSIVE than gas for electricity generation And electricity is only 20% of UK energy consumption The best ways to cut energy costs are 1. Abolish the carbon taxes 2. Cancel AR7 onwards 3. Cancel the RO 4. Restructure AR1-6 to lower costs 5. Rebuild N Sea production 6. Build more refineries 7. Build large nuclear as fast as possible using Korean tech and Korean regulation as a guide 8. Cut fuel duty 9. Cancel any grid upgrades and close any windfarms with negative NPV for consumers 10. Sign LT Fixed Price gas contracts with Norway, the US and Qatar (diversify supply)

@jonburkeUK And Lo! It came to pass

@jonburkeUK Come back later this week and tell us how much wind is offering when the anticyclone settles over the British Isles.

Britain’s electricity is currently 72% zero carbon. We’re defeating the oil barons, petro-state dictators, paid fossil fuel lobbyists, and every right wing grifter on the internet one wind turbine at a time. Cool Britannia is so back…🇬🇧⚡️♻️🔋😎

Climate hoax at the bottom of the ocean: Ocean changes not greenhouse gases have driven climate change for the last few million years, says new study in Nature: "Key climate shifts in the past 3 million years may have been more heavily influenced by changing ocean temperatures than greenhouse gases, according to analyses of ancient Antarctic ice cores published in two Nature papers. The findings provide new insights into Earth’s past climates." What drives ocean temperatures? The Sun. nature.com/articles/d4158…

1/2 This long, technical. paper by @KathrynPorter26 should be compulsory reading for all (especially Scottish nationalists) who believe a golden future of cheap renewable energy awaits a separate Scotland. watt-logic.com/2026/03/14/sco…

@Frank_Opinion_ @AgentP22 That investment is in larger shops, is it?

@AgentP22 Except they don't. It's all lies in the English gutter press.

Scottish shops hit with £54m more in rates than England. So businesses leave. Jobs go. High streets collapse. All entirely predictable — and entirely on the SNP.
