Douglas Ross: Election can end Scottish independence push 'for good'

https://www.thenational.scot/news/24348563.douglas-ross-election-can-end-scottish-independence-push-for-good/

In your wet dreams Rossie boy. When 50% or more Scots wish for independence they will not be forced into your unionists box any time soon…

Mushroom politics (keep them in the dark and feed them shit)

@When I would be embarrassed if I were the butt of such ridicule but the likes of Ross et al just seem to thrive on it. It could be, however, that he doesn't realise he is being ridiculed.

has no mandate from the British people.

He’s curbed our right to protest.

He’s put all his energy into culture wars, not paying doctors and nurses, letting schools crumble and ensuring the industry can endanger civilisation for decades to come by granting new drilling licenses.

He takes security so ‘seriously’ he appointed Shapps to Defence and ennobled Cameron.

@Wen @JugglingWithEggs I'm happy to be deemed an extreemist and a threat to the British State (in the mind of Sunak) if it means that Independence for Scotland is the result.

Japan set to resume funding to UNRWA

Tokyo had joined at least 11 of its western allies to halt funding to UN agency for refugees in Palestine

@EverMama8_ Not a moment too soon. The original decision to cease funding was outrageous to the extreme.

I wonder if there is a lesson to learnt from the election of the First Minister in . Labour seem reluctant to clarify any details.

@Roadwarrior29 @lbc Fair play to Matthew Wright who brought him up sharply about it. The galling thing was that the guy couldn’t see anything wrong with what he was advocating. Obviously just the way they think.

Just watching the greatest show on earth from Westminster. Never imagined I'd ever hear a Tory say that the SNP were being treated abominably. Ordinarily you couldn't afford a ticket for such entertainment.

"The motion calls for a ceasefire. The Labour motion does nothing of the sort. In particular, its motion defends the right of Israel to continue with its actions in if Hamas does not cease all its action. But, under international law, Israel has no legal justification for its continuing action in Gaza because it is no longer acting in any form of self-defence."

"This is an utterly intolerable motion from Labour."

  • Richard Murphy nails it.

@fkamiah17 @MadeyeTheCarnaptious Andrew Marr put that very point to David Lammy on this evening. He asked Lammy, that, in the event of the Liebour motion not being selected, would he be voting for the SNP motion. He went round the houses but couldn't bring himself to say he wouldn't, which we all knew anyway.

Just watched the Hairy Bikers return to active duty. They visited Bute and it was a pleasure to hear the Syrian refugees recounting their experiences of being welcomed and accepted by the residents. They have opened businesses and are an integral part of island life. I like to feel that this is Scotland's attitude to refugees who make a home in our country.

"Scotland is very poorly served by its media, the broadcast media is controlled from London and pursues an avowedly British political and cultural agenda.

"In the case of the BBC, this means the marginalisation and trivialisation of Scottish news, which has an almost total news blackout on developments which are positive for the independence case. However, news which is seen to damage the case for independence is trumpeted."

Yesterday really put Unionism under the spotlight. The near 'canonisation' of Jeffrey Donaldson who chose to disrupt lives all over Northern Ireland for which his party was bought off with £3b, compared to the vicious demonising of Nicola Sturgeon who steered Scotlands 5 million population through some of the worst days of our lives. I know which of these two I admire most.

@fkamiah17 The Establishments problem with Gary is that he has an audience of literally millions and he's imparting his own belief which doesn't square with the current Toryspeak. Were he in the opposite camp he would be lauded to the rooftops by the right wing press.

WOMEN AT FAULT FOR POLITICAL DIVIDE: MARRY A MAGA MAN!

Ridiculous concern trolling by The Washington Post's editors, too cowardly to put a byline for the author, really showcases how grievance has become normalized.

They argue *someone will have to compromise *(meaning women) or else marriage rates will tumble. I think women may have already found their own alternative.🤔

Friday: Sarwar meets Husam Zomlot, Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, calls for a ceasefire.

Sunday: he's been spoken to and wants to water it down.

"Scottish Labour are understood to be seeking to amend the motion, and policy notes seen by The Scotsman suggest the party is likely to water down the demand for an immediate ceasefire."
