Just so everyone knows, there will never be any deals, under any circumstances, between the SNP and Nigel Farage. The SNP stand against his divisive politics.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 @BrewDog have announced that they are closing 10 flagship bars from Aberdeen to Camden, as soon as THIS FRIDAY! In what universe is 3 DAYS a morally (or legally) acceptable notice period for a proper redundancy consultation for the workers impacted?!
There’s no words to express my revulsion at my “colleagues” in the media. Those who supported, whitewashed, stayed silent over this abomination. You think you can’t be monsters, because you see yourselves as good people. But almost all monsters in history thought the same.
You wonder who briefed the minister who came out with this howler.
My letter to UK Gov Minister Steve Reed asking him to retract his false statements about the condition of water in Scotland. IWC was able to report we’re in a much better position than rUk with 87% “high” or “good” status. Public ownership works. scottishgov-newsroom.prgloo.com/correspondence…
Israel really went from "we would never bomb hospitals" to "there are tunnels under the hospitals" to "Hamas is in the hospitals" to "most of the doctors are terrorists". They just really like bombing hospitals, don't they? x.com/Channel4News/s…
Most doctors in most Gaza hospitals involved in ‘terrorist activities' says Israel Special Trade Envoy
NEW: Scottish Water, the publicly owned utility company providing water in Scotland, has hit back at Labour minister Steve Reed after he claimed water pollution in Scotland is "worse than in England" thenational.scot/news/25332487.…
🇲🇹 Malta: population 550,000. 🔍 Independence gives states the ability to use their resources to change lives for the better. 🏴 Time for Scotland to build our own future.
The poorest households in Slovenia & Malta are better off than the poorest in the UK. UK has some of the least generous welfare across the OECD Yet govts push failed policies, real wage/benefit cuts, unchecked profiteering, oppose higher tax on the rich. niesr.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…
Sad to hear that Blantyre's own Lisbon Lion, John Fallon, died today. @HumzaYousaf and I were delighted to meet him at @BlantyreSoccer a year or so ago. He was an absolute gentleman. Condolences to his nearest and dearest. RIP. YNWA 💚
It's about time #LabourLies were taken to task.
EXCLUSIVE: An interview in which a top Labour minister’s claim that 'pollution levels in Scotland are worse than they are in England' went unchallenged has been reported to Ofcom 'This Labour Government must be held to account in its attempts to promote falsehoods to the public'
This particular lie, bottom right. #LabourLiars
NEW: Scottish energy bills will go up this autumn ... to pay for construction of English nuclear power plant Sizewell-C The extra fees are coming because the project costs have spiralled from £20bn to £38bn. The news was snuck out today, before recess. thenational.scot/news/25332901.…
He got an instant promotion and lost his voice.
Michael Shanks. A man of principle. Whatever became of him?
If Keir Starmer believes in a respectful relationship with @scotgov, he needs his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water. Our rivers are cleaner, our bills are lower - and public ownership delivers for people, not profit. 👇
I think everybody is getting thoroughly sick of the UK Government constantly lying about Scotland. thenational.scot/news/25332487.…
Kevin Maguire "Are you really blaming what Israel is now doing, killing Palestinians in huge numbers, on Hamas? Are you really doing that?" Michael Gove: "Yes" Gove isn't just an apologist for genocide. He's cheering it on #GMB
Tonight on @Channel4News Steve Reed Labour MP & Water Minister for England, lied when he denigrated Scottish Water’s record. Clearly he was distracting from the mess that the govts of Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak & Starmer have made of…

70% of Scottish business in support of a Scottish visa, yet Westminster block it, aided by Labour in Scotland, doing as they’ve always done, what their London masters tell them
There’s strong support for a Scottish visa from Scottish businesses - which would mean we could recruit workers for our unique needs. ✅ 70% back a Scottish visa. ✅ Most say the Scottish Government understands their needs better than Westminster.👇 heraldscotland.com/news/25324809.…
Q. Great, but what happens when Israel ignores this & keeps killing innocent men, women and children? A. Lots of hand-wringing and muttering while the genocide continues. #StopArmingIsrael #StopTheGenocideInGaza

🤑 A Reform Mayor has recently increased his personal expenses allowance by a staggering 600%, despite promising to cut costs for taxpayers. 🤯 Who would have guessed that Reform were a party of self-serving charlatans?!?!?!?!?

In my new book I look at water quality, pricing and infrastructure in England (privatised) versus Scotland (publicly owned). It's clear which model works better-- and where clean water- whether to drink or to swim in- is seen as a basic job of government and a human right.
