Scotland was banned from doing this by UKG. (But didn’t ban Wales from doing so). #WhyArentYouYes
In two years, Latvia has already recovered 90% of cans and bottles, including glass ones, which are reused dozens of times. Now, the only question they ask themselves is why they didn't start doing this before. Maija from @ZWLatvija tells us. #sddr #leyderesiduosya

This is the respect Alex Salmond and Scotland gets from a foreign country. Puts the Brits to shame. When will people wake up and see. The world is waiting 4 an independent Scotland. It's time to get off your knees and throw off England's colonial shackles. #ScottishIndependence
Alex Salmond's Saltire-draped coffin has been placed on the plane which will bring him back to Scotland 🏴 A guard of honour organised by the North Macedonian government oversaw the start of the former first minister's journey

We await Anas Sarwar's reaction to news Labour is set to continue to freeze income tax thresholds beyond 2028 given he attacked the SNP for freezing income tax thresholds earlier this year. We're sure someone will ask him if he now supports the idea. https://t.co/9b3wRnHjOj

Government sources insist the move would not constitute a breach of Labour's manifesto tax pledge.

In the 90s I produced and recorded a SNP fundraising album featuring SNP politicians (it wasn't a hit..). This was just lovely. I remember Alex being stage shy and Anne Lorna Gillies having to conduct him through the recording. He could really sing.

These proposals were originally made by the Tories but Labour are now choosing to implement them. Around 400,000 sick and disabled people could have their benefits cut by £260 a month. Labour should be utterly ashamed of themselves. https://t.co/cHSnhTwIuH

Charities warned cuts proposed by the Tories would have a ‘devastating impact’ on disabled people

This is a very disappointing outcome for parents and children, and in reality difficult to understand given that unions were given what they asked for.
All primary schools, Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) settings, Intensive Support Provision (ISP) and Fairview School in Perth and Kinross will be closed October 21 because of industrial action taken by UNISON in a national dispute over pay. Read more: https://t.co/Mrndfw2RZr

Northern Gaza is being wiped off the map. Not my words but those of 38 respected aid agencies including @Oxfam @christianaid @MedicalAidPal Staying silent is not an option. Passivity is not an option. Complicity is not an option. For the sake of humanity, we must see action.
🚨REACTION: Oxfam and 38 aid agencies warn that Northern Gaza is "being erased", and urge global leaders to immediately end Israel’s atrocities. Read our joint statement 👉 https://t.co/zSLA1SfKsr

@msm_monitor As I type Scotland's electricity generation is using NO gas at all. N Scotland is 99.7% wind, 0.3% Hydro & S Scotland is 81.7% Wind, 17.7% Nuclear and 0.5% Biomass. Power from Scotland is being sent as far south as Birmingham. Scotland is ripped off by the "UK Energy Market"

Gary Robertson conducted an interview this morning with an energy expert who highlighted the fact Scottish electricity bills are high because England relies on gas. This significant fact was ignored as the interview moved on. Why? Because it's potentially harmful to the Union.

These scenes are truly horrifying. More dreadful suffering and more innocent lives lost will not achieve peace in the Middle East. This appears to be a serious violation of international humanitarian law. We need an immediate ceasefire in Gaza now.
An airstrike in Gaza hit a hospital courtyard on Monday, burning tents where people were sleeping. Strikes also hit an @UNRWA school where families were sheltering. The location was meant to be used as a polio vaccination site. A ceasefire is urgently needed to stop the

I wish to congratulate @UKLabour on becoming such a heartless scary authoritarian party of the bosses in a record time. Even in my most fevered nightmares I never thought they could articulate so many evil ideas in such a short place of time. #WorkTillYouDie #BoughtAndPaidFor
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall plans to shrink Britain's benefits bill by having employment advisors giving CV and interview advice in hospitals to people with mental health issues.

Bloated, ermine coated and never been voted this absurd repository for donors, cronies and time servers must be abolished. Labour have pledged to do this for over a century. We will table an amendment to make it a reality.

The SNP will table an amendment to press the Government to go beyond its proposal to streamline the House of Lords and abolish it altogether

Israel deliberately targets refugees in hospitals, schools & destroying vaccination sites. Innocent people being burned alive. Every day, we witness unimaginable horrors & complete disregard for international law. No sanctions, just more arms. Failure and complicity. For shame.
Another night of horror in the #Gaza Strip. A strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an @UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today.

Can’t really add to the comments listed under this. One evil of the ideologically blind and criminally supine is the way they implicate all of us by telling us we shouldn’t believe the evidence of our eyes and forget history.
Despite repeated warnings, the dangerous actions of Iran and its proxies are driving further escalation in the Middle East. Following its ballistic missile attack on Israel, we are holding Iran to account and exposing those who facilitated these acts.

‘Burning tents where people were sleeping.’ And you don’t have to look hard to find the footage. War crimes.
