"Had the Commons backed the SNP’s motion, a full-throated call to “end the collective punishment of the Palestinian people” and “press for a ceasefire now”, it would have been a meaningful statement for the world."

"Hoyle agreed to let Labour hijack the SNP’s motion – despite the fact that Labour has more than six times as many annual debate days and hasn’t used any to focus on Gaza".

A man gunned down in a hail of bullets in the Spanish province of Alicante has been identified as Maxim Kuzminov, a Russian military helicopter pilot who had defected to Ukraine with his aircraft. He was in Spain using a new identity and his body was identified by his fingerprints.

The Kremlin didn't deny he was a target but has since dismissed his death as "irrelevant".

From EL PAÍS (in Spanish), 20/2/24.

“We ask that the commission undertake an urgent review of whether #Israel is complying with its obligations, including under the EU-Israel association agreement, which makes respect for human rights and democratic principles an essential element of the relationship; and if it considers that it is in breach, that it proposes appropriate measures to the council to consider."

@otfrom @CloudyMrs

The interrogation of NS was an integral part of a witch hunt.

@HistoPol

I didn't reply re the Windsor Framework - it's a #Brexshit thing - hope this helps.

@HistoPol

Given Hadrian's Wall is entirely in England, any decision to rebuild it would depend on the English government and UNESCO as it's a World Heritage Site!

SPQR!

Looking forward to the day when the Windsor Framework will be applied to England's international frontier with EU member state Scotland.

"Starmer, Starmer, Starmer, Starmer, Starmer chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, not pale blue; red, not pale blue...".

Streeting's focus is England. Scotland isn't even on his right-wing radar. Either that or he's lifted the idea from Scotland, in which case he would never admit to where it came from....

"Spanish woman removed from UK after returning from Christmas holiday: detained overnight and removed despite presenting Home Office documents showing her right to work and live in UK."

Do you get #Brexit now?

Do you want to be associated in any way with the xenophobic shrivelled up shitshow that is the "United" Kingdom?

(This story is now gaining traction in Spain.)

British = English.

Britain = England = "The Country".

British + Britain + "The Country" = #Ukania.

Ukania = Narnia.

@peterbrown @ChrisMayLA6

It's not only the off-peak fares trial (which has been extended) that's been ignored but also the fact ScotRail and the Caledonian Sleeper operation are now in public hands. And let's not forget how the train staff strikes were handled much better in Scotland.

From the media? Nothing to see here....

@Snoweider @CloudyMrs

That's the Daily Fail for you. Bitter and twisted!

Has Dame Jackie Baillie of Faslane and Peroni retired from politics?

It seems awfully quiet....

"Asked if the Prime Minister would face a confidence vote, Heaton-Harris told LBC: “I think it’s highly unlikely, very unlikely. I’d say vanishingly small.”"

"In to thir dirk and drublie dayis,
Quhone sabill all the hewin arrayis
With mystie vapouris, cluddis and skyis,
Nature all curage me denyis
Off sangis, ballattis, and of playis.

"Quhone that the nycht dois lenthin houris,
With wind, with haill, and havy schouris,
My dule spreit dois lurk for schoir.
My hairt for langour dois forloir
For laik of Symmer with his flouris."

"The BBC has edited out multiple calls for a ceasefire in Gaza from the Scottish Bafta Awards ceremony – including the presentation of an entire award."

"One award presentation and speech by winners referencing calls for a ceasefire has been completely removed from the ceremony coverage".

" "The vast majority of those taking part in pro-Palestine protests over the weekend will find it ironic they are being criticised for demonstrating for peace on a day which for many stands as a reminder of the “pointlessness of war... But the far-right has weaponised the symbols of British identity to become “exclusive” markers of “white national identity." "
