Zelensky could have filled a plane with money and fled Ukraine, but he did not. He could hide in a bunker, but he does not. He could have handed the country over to the Russians, but he did not.
THIS IS WHAT COURAGE AND HONOR LOOK LIKE!

Seriously is benefited the appropriate word here ?
Scottish newspapers *still* running with the idea that those nine women were a bunch of liars, I see
The woman told a court she felt "hunted" by Salmond, who she claimed "pounced on her" in Bute House in 2014.

We need this kind of thing in Scotland!
Idea of 'Repair Cafés' began in Netherlands, now popular in France with 800 repair cafés.
There's a 'boom' across Europe in large cities & small villages. Teaching people to repair things, saving money and stopping throwing things away.

It comes after years of cover-ups & denials not least from Boris Johnson who was in charge of MI6 as foreign minister at the time & whose first act as PM was to ennoble the Baron of Siberia. But it also went beyond Johnson & Starmer continued it too. We now finally need some sunlight.

Prisons are overcrowded because we are locking up tens of thousands of people with drug problems, mental health issues and low educational attainment. Meanwhile, Michelle Mone, Post Office bosses, billionaire tax dodgers and those responsible for Grenfell Tower walk free!

Make it clear that the "Home Office" is part of the "UK" government in London, nothing to do with the Scottish government in Edinburgh.

Oh my God! The First Minister is on the UK ‘Flagship’ political programme, #BBCLauraK and all she can produce is a series of #SNPbad smears. Most of them reheats of Tory/LibDem/Tabloid nonsense.

Not an interview,just a question of point scoring
John Swinney on #BBCLauraK
LK "You said that Scottish pensioners will lose their pensions due to the triple lock changes. That's not true is it?"
JS "They are set to lose out on £2k per year."
LK "That's not them losing their pension."

2035: annual pensions are £1.46 per year, but still exist. Yay!

The planet isn't "dying" of natural causes.
Forests don't just disappear. They are logged.
Oceans don't just choke. They are polluted.
Rivers don't just dry up. They are diverted.
This is not a tragedy. It's ecocide. And ecocide should be a crime. #StopEcocide

Didn’t hear wee Conor question him about this in his C4 report !!!
Company behind AI data centre proposal for Chapelcross owned by Tory
THE FERRET: The company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal – and one of the largest in the world – is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via a Caribbean tax haven
October 11, 2026 at 9:15 AM
This is the time for Holyrood as a whole to stand up for Scotland and stop these developments Well apart from the usual suspects!!!
Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands.

It could receive £23m public subsidy.

BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance.

Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.
The Tory treasurer, an offshore company and Scotland’s biggest data centre plan
Scotland may be set to host one of the world’s most powerful data centres. The Conservative Party’s money man stands to benefit.

They're [Ukrainians] going to keep attacking, as they should. It's a military operation. It's a war.

Agree completely Rather than an intelligent questioning of SNP policies she took the opportunity to pick at obvious silly headline grabbing point scoring Pathetic nonsense
Just watched the #LauraK #LauraKuenssberg interview with Scotland's First Minister. What a waste of time. She just bitched about whether Steven Flynn missed an email and whether John and Nicola are still pals. Really? Like there's nothing else happening?

Right wing media terrified of the Greens - and Big Oil!
"The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage of Badenoch ... and the utterly dismissive coverage of Polanski, who has significantly improved his party’s standing over the past year, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK"
