Scotsman under fire for misleading reporting on alcohol deaths as treatment within only 3 weeks beats 90% target for years on end and Swinney adds another £37 million new this year talkingupscotlandtwo.com/202…

The Royal PR machine will launch 500 more hit pieces on Meghan this week just to distract you from the fact that Prince William is literally evicting generational tenant farmers from historic Duchy land to liquidate assets.
Prince William modeling himself as the face of solving homelessness while serving eviction notices to historic Duchy families to maximize profits. "William can go to hell" sums up exactly how real people feel about this structural greed.
Greed at its finest.

Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.
For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter.
The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening.
Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

Today I was denied entry into the West Bank, alongside other parliamentary colleagues from across Europe as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We were held for 8 hours, interrogated and ultimately prevented from crossing the border.
I came to stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land. Instead, we were turned away, with no reason given.
More than ever, Palestinians are being subject to terror and violence by the IDF and illegal settlers. Increased blockades, demolitions and unthinkable violence have become the norm for Palestinians in the West Bank.
It is more important now than ever that we bear witness and show our solidarity.
But we were prevented from doing so.
I will continue to do everything I can to apply pressure on the Netanyahu government, and those responsible for the persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people.

Scotland’s North Sea energy: a burden when we talk about independence, but a valuable asset when Westminster needs the money?
Sounds familiar 🤔

SNP Depute leader Keith Brown - “every single penny” from the UK Government’s new energy wealth fund “should be spent on Scotland’s renewables future”, not English nuclear news.stv.tv/north/snp-says-u…

🗣️ Westminster has finally admitted that Scotland should have had an oil fund worth at least £1 trillion. Scotland’s vast energy wealth has been squandered. Scotland must not lose out again. Every penny of energy wealth from Scotland’s waters must be reinvested into Scotland!

What an absolute PI** take!!
Benefit bashing those who desperately need it whilst conveniently invoicing the tax payer with a £45k worth of expenses herself.
Biggest benefit scrounger going @SuellaBraverman ..you are a LEECH.
Let the poor suffer as long you're getting your bills paid by us!!
In what way is your use of water at home an expense related to your job?

After scaremongering about Scotland, now this week we find out the UK has NOT paid £3 trillion worth of bills. 😃🙄
Nigel Farage asks how independent Scotland will pay the bills then closes the interview when @AngusMacNeilSNP points out the UK hasn’t paid its bills since 1945.

🔴@Helen_Whately, Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, has claimed £2 MILLION expenses in 10 years.
£300,000 relates to her own travel and accommodation - yet she only lives 50 miles from London.
Her boss, @KemiBadenoch has 3 children, claims £2.7K per month to rent a 6 bed farmhouse & tried to claim expenses for a family holiday.
The country can't afford these @Conservatives.

Oh look say @STVNews 'Rosebank crude will go to Dutch refinery as no suitable refinery capacity in Yow Kay.'
No mention that country whose oil is being siphoned now has no refinery.
Grangemouth was sabotaged (passive industrial) by UK Gov in cahoots with Ratcliffe's @PetroineosGM
The Duchy of Cornwall collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House.
Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR.
When King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall, he paid rent to himself.

Remember when Tory/Lab Axis told Scots with a smirk that Scottish oil/gas was worthless & would run out by 2019? Miraculously the same oil will guarantee England/UK's energy stability for decades - and next are our renewables. Why are we as a country accepting this? #YouYesYet?
