Scotland must put people and planet before the profits of money-hungry corporations. As the human and economic costs of extreme weather grow, governments need to face reality and begin taking the climate crisis seriously.

OH yes because this is exactly what we need We have more food banks than ever before, a crumbling NHS, a decaying infrastructure, but our fuckwit Govt says we need this Chancellor says government to commit hundreds of millions to develop โ€˜distinctively Britishโ€™ approach to AI Makes my piss boil.

I for one am totally gobsmacked that Trump would be erratic and wreak havoc with worldwide consequences, and all those scientists telling us we will actually die out if we don't stop pumping carbon into the air were actually correct! Thank fuck I'm not prime minister eh ๐Ÿคท

Companies like Amazon profited from our communities while giving far too little back. Scottish Greens would tax billionaire online retailers and use the money raised to support small businesses on our high streets.

My kids maw is a Special Needs teacher in a specialist school. She needs every second of planning time and the two half days Mccrone time (in Scotland) let her prepare lessons so they can be a valuable as possible for the kids. UK is obsessed with work hours rather than quality

Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social

I'm the ideal person to lecture teachers on hard work, since Iโ€™m usually too busy with my 12 side grifts to bother turning up for the full-time job Iโ€™m paid to do and because I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 751 MEPs in the EU Parliament.

I don't drink* and this "lad" bullshit is getting on my tits. It took me a good 25 years to stop drinking fully. I'm prone to addiction unfortunately and all my pals are boozers. BritCulture dictates that you must drink to enjoy yourself, no exceptions! *Even if I did I couldn't afford it

Andy Burnham has suggested people could have 'a glass or two' of wine to help them through an emergency, as he defended UK Government advice for households to stockpile essential supplies

Accept token gestures, toe the line, and turn a blind eye to racism? No thanksโ€ฆ.. Equality and protection for allโ€ฆ

Absolutely! The poor animals are infested with lice, and I mean covered to the point that their bare flesh is exposed. Lice are parasites and one or two are normal on a wild fish but their populations explode . Salmon swimming round in a net are an easy target. They then infest wild fish. Disgusting

Ewwwโ€ฆ Iโ€™d give Scottish farmed (aka โ€˜responsibly sourcedโ€™ sic) salmon a pass. Gives me the ick... #SeaLice #ProjectSlingshot

My primary school in Barrhead used to get free tickets for St Mirren at the old Love Street in the 80s. It was absolutely magical and amongst my favourite memories of childhood. The smell of baccy and booze, seeing Tony Fitzpatrick in real life, peeing in a swinging trough, the floodlights. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Match day at Firhill Stadium, Glasgow. Home of Partick Thistle since 1909.

How in the name of ever living fuck do those of us at the bottom stockpile? When the pandemic hit you couldn't even get bog roll in Aldi because those with money hoarded the supplies. My ex Mrs and I borrow off each other several times a month to keep our kids fed. I'm forever grateful we get on

Another fuckin demand. Going by all the out in the open evidence available, I doubt very much that the demand will be met. I demand independence, not pleading with a foreign government to treat us a bit better. Fuck off John

BREAKING: John Swinney has demanded the UK Governmentโ€™s new North Sea Energy Wealth Fund be ringfenced for the north east of Scotland He welcomed the move in a letter to Andy Burnham, but questioned why the initial ยฃ2 billion represents 'only around half' of last yearโ€™s North Sea revenues

Climate change will kill us as a species. Why is that so hard for a government to understand? Renewables are a massive "growth" industry, the very word Labour have been banging on about since Starmer. Yet they ignore it for pointless & deadly fossil fuel extraction. Silly country the UK

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social

The Energy Secretary says North Sea drilling โ€œwonโ€™t take a penny off energy bills.โ€ The Health Secretary says summer heatwaves put pressure on the NHS. So whereโ€™s the Governmentโ€™s impact assessment? If they donโ€™t have one, they should delay the decision on drilling for oil & gas until they do.

I've seen a few bits about this today and they're at pains to include the devolves administrations every time they mention UK govt failures. Despite the fact they prioritised PPE for England over Scotland etc. The prime minister was a caricature of a toff at the time too. What hope did we have?

When I shut down my small business I had to pay every single penny I owed, quite rightly, and I did. My business was worth nothing in the end.Brexit absolutely fucked any chance it had. Yet these bastards can build up billions in debt & still pay dividends? They should be serving jail time

When will this Labour Government stop tinkering? Thames Water is a busted flush. It's worthless. Cheer up the nation. Nationalise it now. Not a penny compensation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I watched this and it was absolutely chilling. The essence of British politics is- lie your way into power then unleash the worst policies you can think of. I'm not easily shocked but they were talking openly about murdering immigrants. Inhuman bastards

ITV footage shows racist, sexual, violent rhetoric among Reform members. These lunatics say โ€œKing Charles is a f***ing Muslimโ€ฆ " and want him to be beheaded. They want concentration camps for migrants, violence against minorities. Return of the Nazis, 100 years after the Cable Street resistance.

YouTube used to teach me loads, you just logged in and there was the stuff that interested you. Now it's strange algorithms that control what you see. I'll be quite happy not paying for that as well as not paying the licence fee. Fuck them ๐Ÿ–•

They can fuck right off. I've proudly not paid the BBC poll tax for years, and I'll even more proudly not pay this one. I don't use their services, if only I could charge folk who don't use my services, I'd be a fuck load richer.

It's a "raid" when it comes to profits, but it's a "saving" when it comes to the disabled. I remember the bank charging me 20 quid a day for an unarranged overdraft as a skint twenty something. They've fed off the poor long enough. Eat the rich ๐Ÿค‘

The people of Scotland must have the right to decide our own future. #bbcdn

I stopped paying the BBC licence fee about 5 years ago. The media in Scotland doesn't represent us as people. Even STV pumps out unionist click bait. It's astonishing that we get our media pumped in from another country who don't exactly have our best interests at heart. I use Al Jazeera for news ๐Ÿ“ฐ

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC
