Scrapping peak rail fares is making a real difference for commuters. When the cost of everything is rising, cheaper train travel helps put a bit of money back in people’s pockets. And for many, it is another reminder that Scotland can make better choices for itself. Make it both votes SNP on the 7th of May for a government that’s on your side.

I used to think Christian Fraser was ok, no longer, he’s as bent as every other hack at our BBC. Today they’ve ditched business news to give 30 minutes of anti-govt bias with John Curtice and Nick Watt. It’s a relentless media frenzy. #PoliticsLive #bbcnews

Labour increased the minimum wage REFORM WILL SCRAP IT Labour gave workers Rights in the workplace. REFORM WILL SCRAP THEM Labour gave property Renter's Rights. REFORM WILL SCRAP THEM Labour gave Parents Free Nursery places REFORM WILL SCRAP THEM Better off under Reform ??

MACRON: Armenia made geopolitical choice to break free from Russian constraints and turn toward Europe. Russia wasn't there for Armenia when it needed support. Same goes for Venezuela, Syria, Iran, Malian regime. From geopolitical perspective, it's better not to rely on Russia.

Malcolm Offord claims he paid 45 million in tax but refuses to release his tax returns. Offord was a member of a private equity firm where managers could pay capital gains tax on profit shares rather than income tax resulting in a lower rate than that paid by office cleaners

Let's assume the 'marches' are banned. Where would this leave anyone wanting to protest about what's going on in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria?

Good news. I expect the Reform Party will be highlighting this.

Once in power, Putin cut taxes for wealthy elites, consolidated media & sought to shape the electoral process. Sound familiar? Some parallels are hard to ignore. The difference? The US has strong checks, an active civil society & deep democratic traditions. That gives me hope.

Can you help us in the last few days of our local election campaigns to deliver our message of hope?

⚡️ Armenia wants to join the EU, Pashinyan says According to the Armenian prime minister, even the path toward membership is beneficial, as it will drive reforms and bring the country closer to European standards. “If we are accepted — we will be happy. If not — we will still be in a winning position, because we will become a country with European standards,” Pashinyan said.

✍️Signed! The 🇪🇺🇦🇲 Connectivity Partnership. From transport to energy and digital networks, it can turn Armenia into a strategic hub at the crossroads of continents. Linking the EU, the South Caucasus & Central Asia.

It’s really nasty to see this attempted smear campaign against Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski. But it also shows how scared they are. A lot of people want proper change and to live in a fairer society 🔥 🌟

I have referred Sky News and GMB to Ofcom over disgraceful and baseless smears that have been made about me. There is nothing antisemitic about supporting the people of Palestine. I will continue to speak out against racism, apartheid and genocide. novaramedia.com/2026/05/05/jer…

Putin will burst. Armenia and Ukraine have agreed on long-term cooperation, according to Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian president also met with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze today.

Is the BBC Chris Mason going to be investigating why there hasn't been a hysterical 2 weeks mainstream media meltdown over Nigel Farage's 5 million pounds gift from Thai based Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne?🤔

Why did Keir Starmer convene a summit on antisemitism without inviting Zack Polanski - the only Jewish leader of a UK political party? Polanski who has himself been the target of serious antisemitic abuse, with two arrests made in just the past six weeks

Be warned that if Scotland doesn't vote for an SNP majority or at least an independence majority on Thursday then in three years time we will find ourselves under the right wing thumb of a Reform Govt and Nigel Farage. Starmer's lousy performance guarantees it.

Hi @ElectoralCommUK Can you please look into this ASAP. It appears to be both highly illegal and highly immoral. Please RT if you agree this is deeply concerning.

Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT And now in threatening to punish those parts of the country where people don’t vote his way the Reform party leader is betraying the basic principles of democracy - its shameless and grotesque bullying which shows nothing but contempt for voters

- Starmer gets some new glasses? ‘He needs to resign!’ - Farage gets £5 million? *crickets* James O'Brien is baffled by the lack of coverage following the Reform leader's multimillion-pound 'gift' from a crypto billionaire.
