A small number of fash gathered in Glasgow Green, to find themselves massively outnumbered by a huge, peaceful counter protest. We were subjected to indecent exposure of fash bums and Nazi salutes, before the great protectors of women and children broke away to a thwarted attempt to reach the mosque

Just sat through an excruciating 20 minute repetitive interview with Geissler and Offord waiting for him, anyone, to ask what is anti establishment about making billionaires richer or even just hanging out with the super rich. Or getting more bbc airtime over the years than any other party.

Ker-ching! The glorious sound of another Yes supporter falling into the bank after @paulsweeney.bsky.social grinds us under his grubby unionist heel. No surprises about Burnham either 😴

A spark of hope as Trump announces that he's going to make a VERY LONG speech in VERY HOT temperatures (expected over 40°C) to show that he can do ANYTHING. 🙏🙏🙏

Was @andyburnham.bsky.social channeling Gordon Brown (something akin to Home Rule) with his offers to Scotland? Not even that. Beware 'the Vow' of a man who demonstrated his distaste for Scotland by his contempt towards @nicolasturgeon.bsky.social when she acted to keep us safe during lockdown

Strange to hear commentators starting to air the idea that Burnham could make life difficult for the SNP if he increases powers of devolution. Ahem Gordon Brown ahem

Astonishing to hear someone with, I always assumed the integrity and determination of @monicalennon.bsky.social refuse to budge from the 'it wis all Keir's fault' position. They need to take off the blinkers.

It seems that everything is up for grabs by the conspiracy nuts/culture warriors now...from climate change (disaster!) to all the racist misinformation, to feckn bicycle lanes. It's all terrifying but the ones who scare me most day to day are the transphobes...many of them ID as 'normal'.

Sarwar is really hard to listen to, some kind of pressure of speech thing. Not sure why media protect him as they do. Won't be long before he'll be predicting himself as FM in 2030

Colin on @stv.news is really giving Sarwar big licks for moving against Starmer. I suspect they'll be very disappointed indeed when they find that Burnham is not the magic bullet they need. Basically they need to stop being a hate-filled, entitled waste of O2

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. At the time of writing the polls are barely open, but by the end of the Summer it’s quite likely, according to polls and pundits, that Burnham will be PM. If S...

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Belfast riots, Palestine Action protests. What is terrorism now – and why the hypocrisy? | George Monbiot

The right is obsessed with ‘two-tier policing’. This is indeed a two-tier government – but the real victims are progressives, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Who and what is really behind what's been happening in Belfast? Marisa asked me to explain what's been going on

I learned a lot from editing this important piece by Lee Hurley (@hleehurley.com) and I hope you do the same by reading it.

Radio Scotland wheel out relic ex Provost of Glasgow Michael Kelly to discuss the highly charged issues of white supremacist violent mob on Tuesday v the huge peaceful anti-fash rally on Saturday (he wants to ban both types of march because all we did yesterday was 'encourage more violence') 1/

This scam MP @graemedowniemp.bsky.social class1 exhibition of why they'll fail again and again in Scotland. Still basking in Tory failures (how he got his seat in 2024), filthy with hatred for Scotland, Scots, the SNP and unchallenged by Garry Robertson while he deflected. Entitled and obnoxious 🤢

Terrible day for fascists in Glasgow and elsewhere. So many folk just changed plans and went down there. It's time we WILL get back one day if we keep up the resistance the far right

Please follow @ungagged.bsky.social if you haven't already. It's time to really work together to oppose the far right, the biggest threat in my lifetime to date. We can defeat them with ideas, but if you're in Glasgow today, a peaceful rally on Buchanan st steps to outnumber them by far

I doubt @nicolasturgeon.bsky.social spends much time here but just want to express my support. Stay strong

Yes it is, and 5 minutes into it the unfunny comedians are making unfunny jokes about misshapen breasts. I really REALLY despise the format of all of these programmes. I'm switching off now. Cringe. I'll get my patisserie hit elsewhere

I can't help but notice that Bake Off - The Professionals is on Channel 4 right now. The timing is remarkable.

Guilty. I still have an X account As some good accounts are still there, also some news outlets. 3rd time lucky but I'm going for good, once some mutuals have seen my request for follows. Same here. Please link up here if we're mutuals on X. The increase in rancid trans hate there is intolerable.

Yes, @kevinschofied.bsky.social right wing msm indeed. Real hypocrisy in your report about @greenparty.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social when you're guilty of omission. Integrity would show prejudice against renters on both issues but why not just lump them in with the Farage story?

I think @chrismurraymp.bsky.social exemplified why Labour fail. Very little self awareness, that they we're up to the task and just hate the SNP. He, as they all do, just insulted the voters. Insinuating that we just vote SNP even tho they're crap etc. Yous were done way before Starmer did for you.

Possibly a niche view, but i think an overall SNP majority would've been a poisoned chalice just now. The huge SNP/SGP cohort is great. Both parties and grassroots must make a strong case for independence now, made up of progressive policies with limitations and alternatives under indy spelled out.

The STV news is relentlessly negative about Scotland, painting the SNP result to date as failure. We'll be hearing that a lot. It's the new 'you said once in a a generation'. They make out that rUK has change but we're stuck in the past. We need out of the union. Very badly. England should leave.

Are you Yes yet? If not why not?

@krishgm.bsky.social Your interview with Jonathan Hall KC, did you really have to label protest against genocide in Gaza as 'pro Palestinian, anti-Israel'??? Not helpful nor accurate. Anti Netanyahu's cruel genocide. What now?
