🔴 NEW: Local people filmed a large balloon meant to provide last-ditch communications in a nuclear war deflating and crashing. But the Ministry of Defence won’t say anything about it. Our latest: https://www.theferret.scot/p/41255087-05fe-460d-a1a4-0f73e4552d87/

94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside andy burnham's Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

Here's hoping that the foiled attack on Fairford will make folk more aware that the UK is up to its neck in the war with Iran. And so "terrorists" disnae quite fit, does it?

Tomorrow the Spanish parliament is expected to decide whether #Spain will join the #nuclearban Padre Sánxez Castellón already questioned the reliability of #nucleardeterrence at the 2026 Munich Security Conference This could mark a historical moment for #NATO and for #nucleardisarmament in Europe.

If protest did not work, they would not fight it so hard. Mass arrests, surveillance, and prison threats for peaceful activists. Governments and polluters are weaponising the law because they fear collective power. It's #TimeToResist

Scotland is facing a rush of hyperscale AI datacentre proposals, without a strategy or understanding of their impact on our energy, water & communities. @scottishgreens are calling for a pause on new hyperscale datacentres — and on Wednesday we're bring that call to a vote in Parliament.

A year ago, the Scottish Parliament voted for action. The Scottish Government is still failing to deliver it. Today, I again stand with the BDS movement outside the Scottish Parliament, demanding that the Government acts on the will of Parliament. 1/4

The Cabinet Office is bringing back The War Book - plans for how the whole of these islands coordinate in the face of attack. & they want us punters to start stockpiling... How do Scots resist this creep to everyday militarisation? My @ScotNational column lnkd.in/eqFmYBV3

Apart from ruining the study of the night sky and the increased risk of the Kessler sydrome . . . The average Starlink satellite lasts about *five years*. Think of the impact of constant rocket launches, and countless tonnes of precious and toxic materials being left to burn up in the atmosphere.
