: “The SNP is the only party standing up against Brexit, saying we should rejoin the EU, that single market that is 7 times the size of the UK market.
When the choice is so clear, it’s no wonder the Conservatives fear the verdict of the Scottish people.”

It's being reported by the press that Humza Yousaf may step down as First Minister. If that is the case, then it will be a sad day for Scotland!

TILDA SWINTON 'I don’t quite believe the word British. I feel like it’s sort of a strictly-for-export term… I have never felt British; politically. I am happy to describe myself as Scottish and I feel, like many people, that Scotland is a naturally independent country.'

Starmer argues he supports Brexit as it was the will of the people. However, he completely U-turns when questioned about the will of the Scottish ppl who voted for the SNP standing on a policy of having a 2nd independence referendum.

Its ironic that Labour say we need a new Holyrood election due to a change in Scottish FM when they completely ignore that same thing happened with a Labour FM in Wales! Surely, should it not be the same rule for all???

Keir Starmer has shown that he is devoid of any moral compass by refusing to call for a ceasefire, and this demonstrates his flipflop policies. God helps us when he becomes PM!

No, Keir Starmer publicly defended Israel's right to cut off water and energy to civilians.
That is a war crime.
You should also note that the ICJ ordered Israel to allow civilians the necessities which Starmer originally backed Israel in cutting off.

Labour has 2 MPs who claim to be Scottish. Yesterday, both of them voted against the Scottish people's right to self-determination. What's a word for people who work against their own country's independence and sovereignty? 🤔.
A total car crash interview for Keir Starmer as Charlie and Naga hitch him to their tow trucks and pull him apart, and it didn't take much pulling. Is this man seriously going to be our next Prime Minister folks? Scotland can do better.

A very frank and sincere interview where

The Rwanda Bill is the most repugnant piece of legislation in recent history.
It's a further demonstration Westminster's values are not Scotland's values.
Scotland has a proud history of welcoming those fleeing war and persecution.
This legislation is not in Scotland's name.
To be clear,
@scotgov
has not paused or withdrawn aid to
@UNRWA
We have previously provided as much as we can within our financial constraints.
We will always seek to do more where we can & urge others to continue to provide aid to the people of Gaza
There are many in the Greens not happy with its leadership's decision to support the Tories and probably unfathomable 2 many. It's not too late. Keeping supporting the Independence movement by supporting Humza now. We still have much work to do together.

Humza Yousaf has urged the Greens not to support a Conservative bid to bring him down as First Minister as he insisted the parties still have many shared priorities

NEW: The Israeli government has voted to shut down the local offices of the Al Jazeera TV station, calling it an "incitement channel".
Al Jazeera is one of the few international media outlets to have remained in Gaza throughout the ongoing bombardment.

I remember the fear that the National Front instilled in ppl like me. As a boy living in England, at the age of 10, whilst coming home from the mosque around 5pm, I was savagely beaten by a gangs 16/17 yr NF thugs! So what politicians say does have an impact!

. As Humza & head of
@UNRWA
said its important to investigate all allegations independently. I belive aid will continue to help the ppl of Gaza.
Important statement from
@UNRWA
head
@UNLazzarini
that all allegations will be independently investigated.
The people of Gaza are dying in the midst of a humanitarian catastrophe, they cannot be collectively punished. Aid must get to those who are already suffering so badly.
Yesterday, I thought it was essential to my question to the Home Office, given events this week, to shed light on the alarming surge in Islamophobic and antisemitic hate incidents in the UK. Urgent action is needed to safeguard our marginalised communities.
2/2 Only those who are weak in their arguments or position bring up race, religion, sex etc to try to validate their views. Debate is healthy for a society, but it shouldn't resort to hateful racist/religious abuse.

There are some who want to weaponsise their wrongs by calling support for justice for the Palestinians as antisemitic but thousands of Jews, young and old, across the world are showing solidarity with the Palestinian cause. NO, in fact, many Jews are leading the Pro-Palistine…

Diane Abbott had to listen to other people discuss her at PMQs and wasn't permitted by the Speaker to publicly question the Prime Minister in her own right. Unacceptable.

🇪🇺 The EU has extended an olive branch to the UK and offered limited free movement for young people.
Sounds good? Well, not to the pro-Brexit Labour Party.
They’re now so in hock to the Tory Brexit that they’re determined to deny young people their opportunities.

Tories told to hand back £10 million from top donor after 'racist and inciteful' comments.

Aaron Bushnell, 25, has passed away.
He is the soldier who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington.
So traumatised by watching genocide as to feel ‘complicit’, pushing him to his ‘extreme act of protest’.
His last words- Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Rest in Peace.
