IN PONDERING which fruit

The Justice Secretary - a former barrister - suggests that being wrongly accused of a crime and imprisoned for three years is just like β€œscraping your knee” in order to justify undermining and restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy. The most absurd argument yet

Scotland Wasn’t Bankrupt: The Real Fiscal History of 1707 The Union of 1707 wasn’t a bailout. It was predatory incorporation - an annexation disguised as English generosity.

The myth that Scotland is too poor has been around since the beginning of the British Anglo state. It persists. However it’s a falsehood.

Great takedown of yet another of Musk's great ideas: the Boring Company. A concept that was always going to fail, fluffed up by the USA's biggest self-proclaimed "genius".

Labour’s dangerous plans for NHS Scotland The Holyrood elections are just eight weeks away. This will be a critical election for Scotland’s future and it is more important than ever that Scotland returns a pro-independence majority, …

Labour has dangerous plans for NHS Scotland & would introduce privatisation by the back door. Meanwhile Reform UK is hostile to the very concept of free universal healthcare. Only an SNP led Scottish Govt will protect NHS Scotland from the private sector.

Nigel Farage has logged more than 1,113 hours on β€˜second’ jobs since becoming MP So much for Farage being a man of the people, who gets ordinary voters.

The Reform UK leader has spent over 1,000 hours or 140 working days at his various other jobs since being elected to Parliament– neglecting his constituency and Parliamentary duties.

Question Time - 2026: 05/03/2026 Fiona Bruce presents an hour of topical debate from Kettering. On the panel are Stephen Doughty, James Cleverly, Shashank Joshi, George Monbiot and Annabel Denham.

I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧡
