Alex Salmond - a giant of Scottish politics. He defined Scotland's story for well over 25 years. He never once strayed off message. Remarkable ability. Remarkable impact.

This past April, Israel struck a building in Syria that Iran claimed was its consulate—sparking fears of a widening regional war. “Iranian retaliation was often theatrical, severe enough to demonstrate resolve to the regime’s hard-liners but mild enough to preclude a cycle of

I'd like to know what they consider "lobbying" and what breaking of norms has occurred. Because it seems pretty reasonable to charge someone who has explicitly supported and encouraged Hamas the day after Oct 7th.

Personally, I think it's good that people giving explicit support and encouragement for prescribed organisations, the day after that organisation committed a massacre, are facing charges.
I warned you that Starmer's "Labour" would be much worse than even the Tories in attacking civil liberties and repressing dissent. They have instituted charges over a speech made 8 months before they came into power, which had not been charged under the Tories. Starmer's

NEW: The SNP’s depute leader has insisted Scotland will never receive another Section 30 order from Westminster. Keith Brown insisted the movement must stop playing by Westminster’s 'rules' and work to build an 'unanswerable' case of self-determination.

Hey so quick question — why was the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon carrying a Hezbollah pager? Curious. Can't figure this one out. Totally confounding.

This is unrealistic and disregards the complexity of the conflict, particularly the legitimate concerns of Israelis. Not surprising from someone who explicitly endorsed the actions of Hamas.
I don't want a two state solution. I want a single state of Palestine, from the river to the sea, in which everybody is equal. And I want the apartheid terrorist state of Israel to be abolished completely.

By 2050 the north of Scotland will have up to 52GW of installed capacity, with potential peak demand of 3GW. The south of Scotland will have up to 16GW of installed capacity, with potential peak demand of 9GW. Very different dynamics for the north south divide.
The insistence that a Scottish national framing should apply to the geographies of economic and political power in electricity ignores dynamics within Scotland itself. Folk in the Highlands and on the Islands best ask what ownership, control and revenue will be reserved for them.

Genuinely disgusting to me that Murray is running defence for someone who exchanged explicit messages with a detective posing as a 15-year-old girl - purely because he serves a political purpose.
Scott Ritter is a friend of mine. I want to take head-on the "convicted sex offender" and "paedophile" narrative. If he were a paedophile I would not be his friend. There was absolutely no contact with any minor - in person or online and there were absolutely no images of

Body blows keep coming for UBI fans. $1k/month transfers had no effect on net worth or credit access. All the money was ploughed straight into consumption, recipients actually went more into debt. https://t.co/EzSd525OZb

It's shameful that women are having their achievements tarnished by people who engage in the same identity politics they criticise. How can anyone honestly say this is about "women"?
