Glasgow turned out in solidarity with our migrant communities today. We will never allow the racist thugs to create no go areas for any of our peopkem

@actualham@social.coop congratulations and well done!

What a fiasco. Over 100 Labour MPs & 6 Ministers want Starmer to go. Now 104 Labour MPs sign letter wanting him to stay. Full blown civil war.

The public gave their verdict last Thursday. He is toxic to the electorate. Starmer should do the decent thing and resign for the sake of the country and his party. Instead he inflames the ongoing civil war. No prime minister can survive with so much opposition in his party.

@rogerb@mastodon.scot it does indeed

#ScotishIndependence

Congratulations to SNP and the Scottish Green Party on winning 73 seats in the Scottish Parliament. A great majority for pro independence parties.

A historic 5th term for SNP.

You have a mandate to pursue independence. Now take action to deliver it.

@NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot You don't need your polling card to vote in Scotland & you don't need photo id. You only need to be on the electoral register. See Scottish Government website https://www.mygov.scot/vote-elections-scotland/how-to-vote

Keep Faragism out of Scotland.

https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/news/something-has-changed-for-the-worse-record-levels-of-mosque-attacks-as-anti-muslim-hatred-rises/ I utterly condemn anti semitism and the attack on two Jewish men in London. Equally, I condemn Islamophobic attacks and abuse. Islamophobic attacks on Mosques are increasing in UK. It is not just the Jewish community that lives in fear.

@DrALJONES@mastodon.social It is absolutely shameful that our authoritarian Government is doing this but we should not be surprised because of the way they have colluded and supported Israeli genocide. Those of us who support Palestine will not be bullied and we will not stop because of Starmer's regime. The High Court has ruled the proscription of Palestine Action is illegal but still the arrests continue because the Government is appealing the decision.

@peachfiend very true, they seem to prefer to ignore Jesus teachings

@bernavv@mastodon.social very much the same except the UK Government is meant to be left of centre (Labour) but captured by the right

More than 500 people arrested at Palestine Action protest in London | UK news | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/11/met-police-make-arrests-at-london-palestine-action-protest

The disgusting farce continues 500 people of conscience arrested for defying a ban the court has found illegal. The metropolitan police's complicity is shameful & will add to their bad reputation. Arresting disabled pensioners not a good look

@Indyposterboy@mastodon.scot it certainly is!

@Indyposterboy@mastodon.scot A great poster that says all that needs to be said about the choice we must make

@IndyRichard Don't think they have been a civilized nation in my lifetime. Vietnam, Persia propping up corrupt regime of the Shah, Latin American countries bringing down elected Governments to replace with right wing dictatorships (Chile, Argentina, El Salvador), Iraq war, Syria, supporting genocidal Israeli regime over decades. It may have got worse recently or at any rate more open.

@IndyRichard@mastodon.scot nor me, the collusion and the complicity beggars belief

For UK citizens there is a petition to Parliament asking the UK Government to take action against the Israeli law authorising the death penalty for Palestinians. It already has 1
Over 86K signatures if it reaches 100K it will be debated in UK Parliament. Please sign

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot it sounds credible but then there is all the dark money. One reason why in an independent Scotland we need public funding of political parties & a cap set on political donations with total transparency to prevent our politicians being bought.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot The question is who are the pay masters for the McSweeney/ Starmer project.? Probably the same elites behind Reform & the Tories.

"One wonders if Westminster etiquette prevents Goodall from even considering the unpalatable alternative, which is that Starmer hasn’t improved people’s lives because he doesn’t want to, and the above gaffes show his instincts when in power are conservative"

@Theriac@plasmatrap.com very true

#ukpolitics #labour #Greens #scottishindependence

"Itwas ridiculous to claim the Greens were extremists when their candidate appeared to be a normal and likable person. It made us look like even we didn’t believe what we were saying,” said one Labour MP, who disliked having to parrot attack lines about the Greens, pitching them as being as bad as Reform"

The Guardian 28/2/26

Desperate labelling of political opponents by Labour spin doctors, even their MPs embarrassed to repeat them.

@statsguy@mas.to Sadly, I think it lost it long ago the callous indifference to hunger strikers and apparent indifference to the possibility of idealistic young people who seek to end genocide tells us everything we need to know.
