Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.

WHAAAT?!

🚨 BREAKING: Wireless Festival will keep Kanye West as its headliner Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said: "I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on October 7th, am pro Jew and the Jewish state, while being equally committed to a Palestinian state.  "Having had a person in my life for the last 15 years who suffers from mental illness, I have witnessed many episodes of despicable behaviour that I have had to forgive and move on from. If I wasn’t before, I have become a person of forgiveness and hope in all aspects of my life, including work. "What Ye has said in the past about Jews and Hitler is as abhorrent to me as it is to the Jewish community, the Prime Minister and others that have commented and - taking him at his word - to Ye now also.  "Ye’s music is played on commercial radio stations in this country. It is available via live streams and downloads in this country without comment or vitriol from anyone and he has a legal right to come into the country and to perform in this country. He is intended to come in and perform. We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions.  "Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing (as was mine) and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do"

Yeah, like North Stream 2…

Scotland invented the modern game of football. Costs for Scotland tickets are far too high. Football should belong to the fans, and tickets should be available for the Tartan Army to enjoy the World Cup. We’re calling on FIFA to act.

In 33 days, Trump’s Treasury quietly eased Russia sanctions, then delisted 3 high‑risk cargo ships tied to Moscow’s defense sector, stolen Ukrainian grain, and the former "Francop" arms‑smuggling vessel. "Ordinary course of business" doesn’t begin to cover it.

A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

Please explain why Norway has a booming oil and gas industry and ours is dead? This isn’t incompetence. It's treason.

"It doesn't matter where they're from, once they put that TOS and Glengarry on, they're Jocks"🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Royal Regiment of Scotland continues to celebrate 20 years of service and sacrifice as they paraded down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh💂

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

Scotland is facing an unprecedented cost of living crisis - rising bills and soaring food and fuel prices, and the UK government is sitting on its hands. The House of Commons must be recalled, so that the UK government can be forced into urgent action to support people.
