Rates of support in Universal Credit are detached from reality. Great to give evidence to APPG for Ending the Need for Food Banks inquiry on this on behalf of @jrf-uk.bsky.social. We need an independent process to help set UC rates based on actual evidence of essential living costs.

Deborah Barros Leal Farias explains that Flavio Bolsonaro is saying the Brazilian presidential election should be annulled because voting hours were extended by 2 hours. But what he's not saying is that his own party was one of those asking for the extension!

HMS QE . Almost 80% over its original budget of €3.9bn .Plus an additional £50m to get it sea worthy. Does not include the aircraft cost. 8 years late and it’s now doing the rounds Scotland , Belfast , Gibraltar to show off the power of this corrupt Union. @bbc what about the ferries. #snp #indy

Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?

Jackdaw will do nothing for the people of Scotland. Plans show it will provide just 2% of UK gas demand, only create 27 jobs, and it will leave us more dependent on gas despite its global fluctuating prices. Investing in renewables will create thousands of jobs and cut household energy bills.

UK Chancellor announces £2bn Energy Wealth Fund after Jackdaw gas project. PR gesture. UK squandered North Sea wealth in tax cuts for corporations and the rich. Norway didn't, has $2.4 trillion sovereign fund. UK govts fight class wars, long-term neglected.

We're constantly told that the UK must massively increase military spending if we are to defend ourselves but apparently we can send frontline units to Saudi Arabia, a country with an $80 billion defence budget, because the war it started with one of the poorest regions on Earth isn't going so well.

Without a hint of irony, today, the UK Chancellor declared if Scotland's oil money had been better invested there would be a trillion £+ sovereign wealth fund. - Unionists tell us Scotland would be ruined without UK support. Utter bastards. That's our kids futures they have helped themselves to!!

I'm against drilling for fossil fuels but isn't it odd* the BBC and Sky aren't mentioning in their reports about drilling in the Jackdaw gas field being approved that they told Scots loudly and repeatedly in 2014 that all the oil and gas would be gone within 5 years. *entirely predictable

Ewan Mcteagle reposted

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

UK ‘wealth exodus’ was manufactured by the press. The press complaints body IPSO must investigate or step aside. The story started with one study which now admits it has no evidence. Media owned by corporations and the super rich lapped it up, served their economic interest, ideological purpose.

Labour's approval of the Jackdaw gas field won't cut household energy bills or improve energy security. We need investment in cheap, green renewables to create jobs and cut our bills.

Scotland was already promised 'Devomax' in 2014 if we voted No. Instead we got Devoless. Now Burnham is trying to pull the same rug out from beneath us again. Don't get fooled again.

Andy Burnham joked with a crowd in Scotlland today that his 'No.10 North' in Manchester is actually their 'No.10 South'. Speaking in Motherwell, he urged voters to 'move beyond' debates about Scottish independence, saying he wanted to'move on from the old politics of conflict'.

Scotch Whisky has been extracted from Scotland, for over 200 years. It was the same with Coal. It's the same with Gas, Oil and Renewable Energy. It's going to be same with Water.

On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.

“If you live in Scotland, if you choose to make your life here in Scotland, then you are one of us.” Scotland belongs to everyone who calls it home. No matter where you're from, your background or your beliefs, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. #SNP26

🇬🇧 The bbc’s Tory Keunessberg continues to berate SNP politicians about Murrell in every single interview, in an blatant SNP smear On every occasion the SNP politicians should remind Keunessberg that a Tory MP admitted a similar Embezzlement, although ‘Police England’ took no action 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Chants of 'Don't protect the women, we can fight. We don't need your fascist shite' rang out in Glasgow tonight. As anti-fascists, women's rights groups and trade unionists protested against 'patriot platform' and their supporters pushing their racist agenda in the city. Things you love to see ✊

Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive £23m public subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance. Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.
