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

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These proposals were originally made by the Tories but Labour are now choosing to implement them.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

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.

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.

@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.

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.
