My health board uses almost double that amount of water. In a month. This is a very small amount of water.
Scottish data centres powering AI are already using enough water to fill 27 million bottles a year. More on this story ➡️ https://t.co/tHHEwafmTO

Breaking: The Swedish Foreign Ministry confirms Greta never reported any abuse to the Swedish diplomats who repeatedly visited her in Israeli custody. Israeli court transcripts likewise show she made no such claims before the judge. Instead, she refused to sign a deportation

Bill Maher asks where the “keffiyeh-wearing college kids” went now that Hamas is “shooting everybody.” “Where are the protesters?!” Maher exclaimed. MAHER: “Have you noticed that now that Hamas has taken over again, they’re what?” MARK CUBAN: “Shooting everybody.” MAHER:

@SusaninLangside @GlasgowCC Susan, You know I have a lot of time for you. But..... To claim the Scottish Government and Glasgow Council have “no say” over asylum housing is disingenuous. You encouraged the Home Office to send AS without any plan for housing and services for Glasgow. Very noble but the

A handful of activist Lords have no business undermining an independent regulator's guidance on the Supreme Court ruling. That judgment didn’t make new law, it clarified it. Overturning it would mean rewriting the 2010 Equality Act. Women’s single-sex spaces are protected and
Exclusive from @Geri_E_L_Scott A group of peers is at the centre of a House of Lords plot to derail guidance protecting women’s single-sex spaces, leaked documents have revealed. The group, which includes a former head of Stonewall and one of its founder members, is seeking to

@ChristiCMPG Scotland received the largest budget settlement in the history of devolution this year. If the NHS is such a priority for this SNP Scottish Government, why are 800,000 Scottish patients languishing on waiting lists?

Scotland is being hit by climate change - just look at the flooding that happens. How about supporting Scotland?

What about the extra resources that have been spent policing pro-palestine marches every Saturday for two years?
INSANE "Extra resources" for British police, when British kids are going hungry, in order to faciliate the arrival of foreign football hooligans in the UK. British politicians have gone mad.

More on the football hooliganism intelligence farce around the Maccabi game. I’m told police have been reminded that the Europa Conference League game against Legia Warszawa went ahead with away fans at Villa Pk in the 23/24 season. The Polish club have received 35 UEFA fines

In 27 years as a Member of Parliament I was never once approached by West Midlands Safety Advisory Group. Who are they? Have they at anytime expressed public safety concerns over the numerous anti semitic demonstrations in Birmingham in the past 2 years.

It's also outrageous that an MP should insert themselves into this and convince the police it is unsafe.
@AyoubKhanMP Good for you. It's absolutely outrageous that the Prime Minister should insert himself in here and attempt to override the opinion of the local safety advisory group, the local police and local MP... ...all to whip up disengenuous race-baiting and prioritise well known Israeli

Glasgow houses 4,000+ asylum seekers. Of the cities 6,000 waiting list 4,200. are in temporary accommodation. In 24/25 Glasgow built 558 homes for social rent. I’ll leave you to your own arithmetic, & to ponder a modern giant of socialism advocating the poorest bear the brunt.
Jimmy Reid, her grandfather, would have been ashamed of her statement on asylum seekers

If there was one thing that English football was known for in the 80s, it was the good-natured, fun-loving quality of the supporters.
Something has fundamentally changed in Birmingham. And Britain, too, has changed with it. Consider football: the rough and tumble of our national game is nothing new for the West Midlands. Growing up in the eighties, my Dad took me to more than a few matches at Villa Park in the

So £80m splashed on 2 years policing “pro-Palestine” attention-seekers and babysit keffiyeh bed-wetters wasn’t money to feed British kids? Instead, hyperbolic prophecies of “rampaging” “hooligans” is where dehumanising a whole nation takes the poisoned mind of Palestinianism.

@SusaninLangside @ScottishLabour Susan, no need for personal insults. I helped set up one of the UK's most successful refugee programmes - I know what real collaboration looks like. It means working with others and managing integration in a sustainable way, not virtuous grandstanding and then blaming everyone

I deal with the most asylum casework in Scotland. The SNP homeless policy kettles asylum seekers to the poorest parts of Glasgow, looks the other way and leaves communities in the lurch. Not fair on New or Old Scots . @JoaniReid is right, the SNP are the fuel in Reform's tank.
Is @JoaniReid planning a defection to Reform? Glasgow has hosted asylum seekers & refugees for over 2 decades, it has immeasurably enriched our culture and economy. It’s long had cross-party support & it’s disturbing to see @ScottishLabour people try to destroy that consensus
