Trump’s Florida rally is off to a great start: TRUMP: I did not marry my sister. I had two lovely -- I have one left. Elizabeth. She's great. But I have not -- I never proposed to them. They’re beautiful, but I was never -- I was never particularly attracted to either of them. It's not my deal.

Trump: "I want you to remember something very important. America did not start the war with Iran" Apparently, bombing a country first is no longer considered starting a war 😂

Why is Labour pledging £10bn to Zelensky instead of helping our own pensioners see through the winter? Pensioners who’ve paid tax all their lives, no less! Why is Labour pledging this sum to Ukraine and not our own armed forces? The brazen treachery of this Labour government knows no bounds.

Hasan Piker banned from entering Britain. Sally Rooney unable to sell her books here. Now Andreas Malm barred from the country. All for speaking out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. This is Andy Burnham’s Britain. An authoritarian Labour government that continues to arm a genocide while criminalising those who dare to oppose it. Shame on them all.

I dont have a lot of faith in what Andy says tbh. They promised £200 million for Grangemouth, they promised £200 million for carbon capture then changed their minds. They want Scotland as a battery and dumping ground for nuclear waste. They have nothing but contempt.

The truth is they are deindustrialising Scotland in favour of England
'We owe it to the people of all four nations to get to a point where the UK government is working in a collaborative way with the devolved governments,' Prime Minister Andy Burnham says in his opening remarks at today's devolution summit in Glasgow. trib.al/U5KzZNU

4 nations. One thinks it has the right to impose its will on the other 3. Maybe it’s time to tell the 1 to get stuffed.
'Andy Burnham's devolution agenda meets a clash of philosophies' Tensions are growing between devolved governments who want more powers for their parliaments, but as Sky's @robpowellnews explains, this isn't what the PM is suggesting. 🔗trib.al/nGLjSIL

You do know that Scotland sent Labour and their unionist friends packing in May’s Scottish Parliamentary Elections? Wales did the same. Why he thinks he can preside over anything is a mystery to us all. And the recent budget showed us all about (one way) collaboration.

BBC writing a royal propaganda piece again. It was Buckingham Palace that declared the visit a 'diplomatic success'. What a load of rubbish. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

Utter ignorance from @BBCRadio4 Describes Halloween as "an America import that has inserted itself into "national" and domestic life like Japanese knotweed" 🙄 Halloween the oldest tradition in these isles, from Celtic Britons .. predates Anglo Saxon migrants ! #bbcwato

Only could the UK make out that Scotland having vast amounts of natural resources, which by the way the UK have been using to keep afloat for decades alongside continuous falsehoods of decline, sound like it’s a terrible thing for a country to have. They must think we’re daft.
BREAKING: North Sea oil and gas tax receipts are forecast to collapse to 'close to zero' in just five years' time, with major implications for Scotland’s finances The Office for Budget Responsibility has also said that North Sea output will decline by 10% annually

Labour MP. Allegations of drunkenness, cavorting with not one, but two nuclear submarine base commanders, married to someone being investigate over Chinese spying, now this. 👇 Anywhere else this is front page news. Not here. What does that make @BBCScotlandNews @STVNews
Exclusive: The Bell has learned political editor of the Daily Record, Paul Hutcheon, has quit, after an alleged affair with Labour MP for East Kilbride, Joani Reid. As reported by Private Eye, Hutcheon oversaw favourable exclusives of Reid at his paper in past few months.

Britain's homeless veterans will be delighted to know that their PTSD, broken marriages, and poverty have not been in vain. As they hunker down in their sleeping bags in shop doorways the length and breadth, they will do so comforted by the knowledge that Ukraine is to receive a further £10 billion from an unelected prime minister and his chancellor. The fact that Ukraine's luxury car market has experienced record-high imports and sales this past year is of course entirely coincidental.
🚨 NEW: John Healey has announced Ukraine will receive £10bn in additional economic and military support "We called him this morning... he told us we made his day" #Budget
