Acid test for the #FriendsOfIsraelCabinet.

In a statement in response to Israel’s E1 settlement plan – which is illegal under international law – Ed Miliband said the UK would “not stand back and accept the destruction of the two-state solution”.

The E1 project would see around 3400 homes built on strategic Palestinian land, effectively dividing the West Bank in two. It is explicitly aimed at making a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict impossible.

Over time, as the dominant UK “partner”, England has long feasted on Scotland’s resources, while Scotland has picked at the crumbs that have fallen from Westminster’s table.

Hardly the “Better Together” campaign’s premise (lies) of Union “partnership”, is it?

EARLY in the Gaza genocide, left-wing activist and author Andrew Feinstein was asked on a podcast by a Palestinian journalist who had lost loved ones in an airstrike: “Who made the bomb that killed my family?”.

It’s the question he and colleagues at Shadow World Investigations have attempted to answer in the book Making A Killing: How The West Profits From Slaughter In Gaza And Yemen.

As the scale of the climate crisis grows, the national conversation about oil and gas continues to move in the wrong direction.

Too many politicians appear to be backing away from meaningful solutions, while others are actively advocating policies that risk making the problem worse.

The idea of expanding our reliance on fossil fuels feels not just outdated, but dangerously detached from reality.

Iran warned on Thursday that RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which the US is using alongside Chagos Island-based Diego Garcia to launch strikes on the country, could be targeted.

Burnham has said his arrival in power will “bring back hope” to Britain as he launched his premiership with the surprise appointment of John Healey as chancellor and a promise to repair the damage caused to communities during the Thatcher era.

The new UK prime minister acknowledged people were “fed up” with politics as he addressed the country after taking over from Keir Starmer in Downing Street, saying the government needed to “do better” to deliver real change.

He can't be allowed to get away with this.

The Glasgow MSP said he would "really welcome" the opportunity to go on a walk of the city with the Scots Active group, which advocates for "mass deportations" and arming Scots against "invaders".

Scots Active, founded by Darren Docherty last year, is said to be inspired by the white supremacist "active clubs" seen in the US and Eastern Europe.

"I was horrified to hear the BBC describe what happened in Belfast as anti-immigration campaigners.

“Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.

“The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners.

“That gives a veneer of legitimacy to thugs and criminals.”

The spyware company, founded by Donald Trump-backer Peter Thiel, has been awarded major contracts by the UK Government, worth a total of £670 million, and was a client of Mandelson’s now-defunct Global Counsel lobbying firm.

No official records have been kept of any meetings between the firm, which collapsed after Mandelson’s fall from grace over his friendship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

@aral It's an extremely tired point of view.

So, a matter of hours ago, I was getting 5G near Kingshouse hotel at 160mbps. Now, back in Glasgow, it's barely reaching 15. Piss poor. Piss poor I say.
