Scots are a people with the inherent and inalienable right of self-determination under the UN Charter. We have a right to national Independence It is impossible to believe both that Scots have a right to self determination, and that Independence requires permission from London

No other European state is prepared to let US bombing runs on Iran overfly their airspace. Starmer lets them actually load their bombs and take off from UK airfields. He calls it "defensive" bombing.

Two 🇷🇺 oil tankers are approaching 🇨🇺 in defiance of 🇺🇸 attempts to strangle the islands energy supplies. Let’s see what happens.

How is it Iran are firing salvo after salvo of drones and missiles and never seem to flatten hospitals, schools, and media tents? Do Amalek have better aim or just less genocidal?

Complete and utter nonsense. If Pakistan attacked Iran which is fighting Israel, there would be a long overdue revolution in Pakistan (and Imran back in power). Where has this Saudi support been in Pakistan's confrontations with India?

The global oil supply chain is so disrupted that the universal commodity pricing mechanisms have broken down. The $110 dollar price you are seeing quoted in the West is currently decoupled from Asia. India is paying $150.

@DanielBShapiro Unjustified? So Iran has just to accept any atrocity and not hit back? You are nuts.

Trump can post whatever he likes. But there is zero, I mean zero, chance the IDF would conduct a strike in that location without giving CENTCOM full visibility. Trump knew (and approved). Now he realizes it caused a major escalation with Iran's (entirely unjustified) attacks on Gulf energy targets.

Or vice versa

Iran has been bombing perhaps 10 countries for over two weeks, everyday, firing thousands of missiles and drones under heavy attacks, aiming for targets hundreds and thousands of kilometers away - Didn't hit one school.

Iran has hit Israel particularly hard today. Yet there is zero footage or photos in my timeline, literally zero.

It is quite remarkable to see that Saudi Arabia gave permission for Israel to fly its fighter jets, along with US refueling aircraft, through its airspace to bomb an Iranian gas field it shares with Qatar...... 🤔

Has a single Western media outlet reported that in order to carry out the extra judicial killing of Ali Larijani, Israel murdered an additional 100 civilians? Were those 100 people not on the West's liberation list?

@MstrProcrastntr @NawafAlThani Fair point. Not a word I use very often!

@CraigMurrayOrg @NawafAlThani *teat

Iran’s aggression has now expanded to targeting Ras Laffan, a reckless and dangerous escalation into one of the world’s most critical energy hubs. When LNG facilities are brought into the line of fire, this is no longer just a regional conflict, it is a direct threat to global energy security.

The attack on Iran's gas infrastructure today is an extreme escalation. It seems both the US and Israel badly underestimated Iran's remaining defence capacity and ability to respond.

@CamrynsOp @NawafAlThani Qatar chose a side. Live with it.

@CraigMurrayOrg @NawafAlThani Craig, you might be too stupid to figure this out but Qatar hasn’t allowed offensive operations to occur from its territory. It hosting a U.S. base does not justify Iran targeting civilian and economic infrastructure. Grow up.

@NawafAlThani What I noticed mostly was the 40,000 strong US base you allow on your soil, because you are scared your brothers in Saudi Arabia will invade you.

@CraigMurrayOrg And you somehow missed Qatar’s and the GCC’s condemnation of that attack, plus the fact that not a single aircraft, rocket, or missile was launched from Qatar toward Iran? There are satellite images, in case that helps. Or is today just another day with your head up your ass?

@Endless_Revived @NawafAlThani But Wahhabis are Sunni sectarians

@CraigMurrayOrg @NawafAlThani Close Craig. but they are Wahhabis.

@RideoutTim Come to think of it same is true of Dundee airport.

@CraigMurrayOrg Because they moved the terminal. The UK also does not do joined up thinking. Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports are all next to a railway. None has a station.

Why, when the train passes literally through the airport's landing lights, did they not build a train station at the airport instead of spending hundreds of millions extending the tram out there?

@lazerphaze73032 It's not a commuter route at all it's right on the outskirts and doesn't head into town.

@CraigMurrayOrg aren't people at work at this time? see how many bikes are there during morning and evening commutes and possibly the lunch hour, if also zero then it does sound like a waste

I have a cycle lane running outside my home. I have cctv on the front of the house. Today I reviewed on fast forward 10am to 11am. Zero cycles passed along the cycle lane. This is not a trendy opinion, but I would rip up almost all Edinburgh's cycle lanes which clog the city and cause pollution from endless traffic queues.

✈️ Just landed back in #Brussels after seeing situation on ground in #Beirut. 🇮🇱 Israel are now collapsing residential buildings in central #Beirut, a city of over 2m people. This is the Gaza playbook. Again, @vonderleyen is silent.
