Combat fella

Kate Forbes is right: blocking the Ardersier factory is "sabotage of Scotland’s industrial future." Just like the 1707 sell-out, Westminster is stopping Scotland from building its own trade routes. They'd rather we be captive customers than green energy leaders. History repeats.

Labour waved through projects in England, but blocks £1.5bn of investment in renewables and 1,500 jobs in the Highlands. Grangemouth. Mossmorran. Offshore jobs. Now Ardersier. Scotland is an afterthought to Westminster. We need a fresh start with independence.

"We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers.. We promised to protect Ukraine from Russia. We made Ukraine vulnerable. So yes,this is our war." - Bill Clinton 🫡

In 1705, the English "Alien Act" strangled Scotland’s economy to force the Union. Fast forward to March 2026: the UK Gov just blocked the £1.5bn Mingyang wind factory in Ardersier. Blocking 1,500 jobs on vague "security grounds" is the same old move to kill Scottish ambition. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Marco Rubio: "European leaders have said the war in Iran is not their war. So trump wonders why is the war in Ukraine our war?" Because the U.S. gave Ukraine security guarantees in 1994. That’s why.

@BarryAnderson_ @TheFulshie You forgot to say how much you spend on rounds 😉

Been to 3 European Championships and a World Cup as a Scotland fan. Supporters' Club member for 30 yrs. In North Stand today (£40 ticket). Will be in Liverpool Tues for Ivory Coast game. Also own a season ticket @TheFulshie. And you're criticising others for not having a clue? 🤣

When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran. On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th. There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on? When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing? There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions. From my conversation with journalists (3/3).

Scotland’s Scott McTominay, officially an icon. (@adidasUK)

Deeply disappointed that the UK Labour government has blocked Ming Yang’s investment in our renewables industry - putting up to 1500 Scottish jobs at risk. At the very moment we should be building clean energy, they are sabotaging Scotland’s industrial future.

@oyvind_tvedt @MikeLevin Agree 💯

@MikeLevin True. I'm a Norwegian soldier that fought in Afghanistan and because of 9/11. I lost a friend there. The Trump admin's demeaning treatment of us allies feels like a stab in the back by your own platoon member. Surreal. These guys were there also.

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

40 years ago today: Kenny Dalglish is presented with a special commemorative cap as he makes his 100th Scotland appearance against R(u)mania. Unfortunately he doesn’t score in a 3-0 win but not even the greatest coat I’ve ever seen (Beckenbauer) can take the spotlight off him.

Scott wasn't the first one to pull out an overhead kick at home 👀 It's been five years since this from @jmcginn7 ⏪

@YesCymru @WiciCymru Good luck today from Scotland on your play offs against Bosnia
