BREAKING: Sheriff Nate Brooksby, who “arranged” for accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson to turn himself in, has suddenly resigned.

We did say closing Scotland's only refinery would leave us fuel insecure - an oil producing country relying solely on imports in a volatile world with potential conflict, shipping problems, and at the very end of a supply chain. It wasn't exactly rocket science to predict 🚀

"If I win, I may never see my golf properties — I may never see these places again. Because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have TIME to go play GOLF. Believe me!" - Trump, August, 2016

A High Profile Reform UK Councillor, Jason O’Connell, who stands as a Senedd candidate has failed to comply with local government rules that oblige him to declare that he’s currently employed by a Reform UK Senedd Member and will not be able to stand. nation.cymru/news/reform-ca…

There’s a by-election coming in #Leicestershire Council for Narborough & Whetstone. Caused by Reform UK councillor Andrew Thorp resigning. The Reform candidate - Dee North is a former parish councillor in the division who got booted off that council for… NON ATTENDANCE.

Grangemouth produced jet fuel for all of Scotland. The UK Government let it shut. Surely people are realising that outsourcing jobs, investment, emissions and energy security leaves us weaker, not stronger. Scotland’s resources should be controlled by Scotland.

JUST IN: There are roughly 50,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. Each one requires liquid helium cooled to minus 269 degrees Celsius to keep its superconducting magnets functional. A single non-operational MRI eliminates 20 to 30 patient scans per day. Those are the scans that detect tumours before they metastasise, strokes before they kill, spinal injuries before they paralyse. The helium that makes those scans possible came, until 31 days ago, from Qatar’s Ras Laffan facility, which produced a third of the world’s supply as a byproduct of liquefied natural gas. Ras Laffan was struck by Iranian missiles on March 18. It declared force majeure. Fourteen percent of its helium capacity is permanently destroyed. Repairs will take three to five years. Helium prices have doubled. India’s hospitals are already reporting MRI cost spikes and scan delays. European facilities are rationing non-urgent diagnostics. Air Liquide has warned customers of unfulfilled orders. And 200 cryogenic containers holding 41,000 litres each are stranded in the Persian Gulf with 35 to 48 days before their cooling systems fail and the gas vents irreversibly into the atmosphere. Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s gravity once released. It does not come back. Here is the connection that should stop every health minister, every defence secretary, and every AI executive in their tracks. The same helium that cools the MRI magnet scanning a child’s brain for a tumour in Mumbai also cools the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine printing the two-nanometre transistor in Hsinchu that powers the AI model selecting bombing targets over Isfahan. Hospitals and semiconductor fabs are now competing for the same shrinking pool of the same molecule at the same temperature. The war has created a zero-sum allocation between healing and killing, and the molecule does not care which one wins. TSMC holds 6.2 weeks of inventory and recycles 68 to 95 percent on site. Samsung holds six months but sources 65 percent from Qatar. Both are rationing toward AI and high-bandwidth memory, starving consumer chip production to keep the advanced nodes alive. Hospitals are nominally prioritised in allocation queues, but when a single TSMC fab consumes 500,000 cubic feet of helium per year and a trillion-dollar AI buildout depends on keeping those fabs running, the allocation queue is a polite fiction masking a brutal triage. Newer MRI machines use zero-boil-off technology, sealed systems holding as little as 0.7 litres of helium that never need refilling. In India, 3,500 of 5,000 machines already use this technology. But the legacy fleet, the machines in rural hospitals, developing nations, and underfunded health systems, still requires 1,500 to 2,000 litres per fill. Those are the machines that will go dark first. Those are the patients who will be diagnosed last. The geography of helium scarcity maps precisely onto the geography of healthcare inequality. The war’s casualties are not only soldiers and civilians in the strike zone. They include every patient whose scan was delayed because the helium that should have cooled their MRI machine is boiling off in a container drifting 57 kilometres northwest of Dubai. The body count of a chokepoint war does not end at the chokepoint. It extends to every hospital, every diagnostic centre, every oncology ward that depends on a noble gas extracted from natural gas that transits a 39-kilometre strait controlled by a navy that no longer exists but whose mines, drones, and shore batteries still function. The molecule does not distinguish between a magnet in a scanner and a magnet in a missile. It cools both to the same temperature. And today, there is not enough of it for both.

I have no good news regarding the granting of 90 billion euros in aid to Ukraine, and I cannot guarantee that this loan will be granted – EU diplomat Kaja Kallas. The reason is still the veto by traitor Orban. And, of course, the EU's inability to solve this problem in four years.

Two German tourists went on holiday to Hawaii for 3 weeks. But they never left the airport. They were arrested, interrogated for 7.5 hours, accused of intending to work illegally with zero proof. They were held in prison for 3 days then deported. DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE USA.

Kamala's father was the first black award winning scholar to receive tenure at Stanford's economics department. Donald Trump's father was arrested at a KKK rally and refused to rent to black people.

There is no greater honor for the United Kingdom than being criticized by a man who has been indicted on 91 federal counts, convicted of 34 felony charges, committed fraud against his own business for years, called newspapers pretending to be his own publicist to brag about his net worth, filed for bankruptcy six times, was found liable for sexual abuse, ran a fake university that scammed thousands of students, tried to overturn a democratic election, and stored classified documents in a bathroom. That man. That specific man. Is lecturing Britain about courage and consequences. Take the compliment, Charles. Cancel the flight.

Trump to the UK and other countries struggling for Jet Fuel: "You have to learn to fight for yourself, go to the strait and take it, the US wont be there to help you anymore just like you weren't there to help us."

Nigel Farage, Reform UK and advisors including James Orr and Matt Goodwin are incredibly intertwined with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. @Nigel_Farage even described him as a model leader and the “future of Europe”. Don’t forget that over the next 2 weeks as he faces being booted out after 20 years of authoritarian rule. That’s if the election is free. It would be a significant rejection of pro-Russian populism.

🚨 White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt today: “Our nation was founded, almost 250 years ago, on Judeo-Christian values.” The Treaty of Tripoli. 1797. Signed by Founding Father John Adams. Ratified unanimously by the Senate: “The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” Thomas Jefferson — who wrote the Declaration of Independence — was a deist who literally cut the miracles out of his Bible. James Madison — the father of the Constitution — explicitly warned against the “diabolical hell conceived principle of persecution” by state religion. The First Amendment’s opening words: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” They put it first.

So Trump tried to blow up our NATO alliance over Greenland and now we find out that Greenland is full of Critical Minerals and Don Jr started a Company that would make billions off all those Minerals from Greenland! It’s all about the money for them! 🤬

BBC reporter Lynsey Bews' attempt to smear an SNP candidate on Reporting Scotland and claim it was an election issue should come as no surprise. Bews has form electioneering during campaigns. In 2024 she tried to shoehorn the gender culture war into the general election campaign.

Farage's Reform has pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters - handing power to bad bosses and rogue landlords. The planned attacks include: • Taking sick pay, bereavement leave, and pregnancy protections off millions of workers. • Legalising fire-and-rehire and workplace discrimination. • Reintroducing "no-fault" evictions and reducing limits on rent increases. #StopTheSteal

NBC News exposes massive insider trading right before the Trump administration launched the Iran war. Elites pocketed millions with advance knowledge of military strikes while ordinary Americans suffer soaring gas prices and job losses. The corruption is staggering.
