'Nonsense' John Swinney humiliated as even Nats reject plans for Scottish bonds The First Minister has boasted about the credit ratings handed to the Scottish Government ahead of launching bonds, despite these ratings being so good due to Scotland being part of the United Kingdom...

Apologies for the source but the Express seems to have the scoop on this story.

Tommy Robinson is living in a gigantic multimillion dollar mansion in the US with his own swimming pool and a $250,000 sports car.

He is laughing at all the people who donate money to him because he is 'broke'.

Trump Puts Fate of World’s Top Conflicts in the Hands of Two Men President Donald Trump put his son-in-law Jared Kushner and longtime friend Steve Witkoff in charge of resolving the war in Ukraine and a standoff with Iran.

Why the Scottish Government bonds plan will lose us Β£175 million By issuing wholesale rather than retail bonds, the Scottish Government has decided to strip around Β£175 million from the Scottish economy ...

Yet another example of SNP not listening and actively promoting another scheme which will only benefit the already rich.

Several trends are shifting defense tech toward Europe War, regulation, and distrust of the United States are tilting a big market homeward.

β€œDonald Trump’s break with the liberal democracies of Europe couldn’t have come at a worse time for U.S. defense and tech giants, whose market dominance will be challenged by European competitors riding several favorable trends.”

Scotland needs to invest in itself In Scotland we need our own pension funds to invest in Scotland; in our infrastructure and our local communities

Reform mayor Andrea Jenkyns caught courting US oil baron to bring fracking to Lincolnshire Reform mayor and fracking enthusiast, Andrea Jenkyns, has been wooing a US oil baron toβ€”yep, you guessed itβ€”frack, baby, frack

Andrea Jenkyns, the Reform mayor for Lincolnshire, has corresponded with the head of an American oil and gas giant in the hopes of opening up the UK to fracking. The environmentally ruinous practice was effectively banned in Britain back in 2019 due to questions over its safety

Reform UK plans to use Β£500bn of council pension assets to invest in British businesses Deputy leader hails β€˜huge opportunity’ to create sovereign wealth fund, but experts give sceptical response

A far better idea would be community wealth funds in SCOTLAND since it’s public money that funds council pensions and has potential to be invested locally….not to fund offshore accounts of the already rich #DontVoteReform

There are Independence supporters that are not prepared to vote SNP for a variety of reasons. Alliance to Liberate Scotland are now a registered party with the Electoral Commission and will offer an alternative to SNP. Country before party.

Since it’s unlikely ALBA will stand for election in May Yes voters should #BothVotesAlliance since the Alliance to Liberate Scotland are only party that are 100% for Indy. Strong ALBA candidates should stand for the Alliance. There are non-SNP Yes voters crying out for Indy candidates to vote for.

Trump says he wants to sue the Epstein estate for β€œpolitical harm.” Read that slowly.

A man whose name appears in the Epstein records 38,000 so far, now wants to sue the estate of a dead sex trafficker for damaging his image.

This is beyond parody and the absurd!

Last night, GOP Senator Rand Paul went on national TV to flatly reject DHS's lies about the Pretti execution:

"My advice to [DHS], if they're watching:

If you come into [our hearing] and try to justify that [Pretti] was assaulting a police officer, that cannot be acceptable."

Alberta cannot easily join the USA if its lands are largely Crown land or Indigenous treaty rights, as separation requires constitutional negotiations rather than a vote. Indigenous leaders hold treaty rights with the federal Crown, not the province, making secession a violation of these agreements
