Picture shows augmented image of Keir Starmer holding a folder which reads: TOP SECRET. Labour’s plan to undermine the Scottish Parliament. “Even when devolved governments may oppose this.”
So much for Labour’s promises to respect the Scottish Parliament.
Only the SNP will always stand up for Scotland and protect our Parliament.

Don’t worry, Chris Mason will be along in a minute to talk about Farage’s inevitable march to power, so normal service will resume shortly.
Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.
Most of us will not be surprised with this. It has been clear for a decade that Westminster will get rid of devolution at the first opportunity. Starmer, like his predecessors, favours the elected dictatorship of the FPTP system that gives him absolute power. www.thenational.scot/news/2592463...

The US dollar has been at the mercy of a single factor as war spirals in the Middle East: the price of oil
The biggest terrorist in the world did this.
Democratic US senators expressed alarm about the Iran war, saying they were worried that President Trump could deploy US ground forces and noting the high risks given Russian support for Tehran's military reut.rs/4dfRLvX
Iran's Revolutionary Guards forced through the choice of Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader, seeing him as a more pliant version of his father who would back their hardline policies, bludgeoning aside the concerns of pragmatists, senior Iranian sources said reut.rs/4sEYCUd
At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
Another big Polycrisis indicator:
The conflict in Iran is disrupting fertiliser production and exports in the Middle East, tightening global supplies and raising fears of higher food prices, industry executives and analysts have warned.

From @theathletic.com: Five players have defected from the Iranian women’s soccer team and are being cared for in a safe house operated by the Australian Federal Police.

Great advice

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) reading: “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT”
Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills.
Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK won’t be pushed around and call off the King’s state visit.
Westminster isn’t working!
It’s time for a fresh start with independence. 🏴

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
