Video after video shows Israelis are going out in droves; with their children, and blocking aid trucks. Meanwhile their government is lying to the world about why the aid isn’t coming in, blaming the UN and others.

The First Minister promised to deliver 150,000 extra appointments in Scotland's NHS. The SNP is not just delivering on its promise - but will exceed it, delivering more than 210,000 appointments and procedures across Scotland this year.

Once again, Israel’s extreme right government does not care about stern words - pitifully little, unconscionably late - from Western allies. Only actions will compel this genocidal government to stop

(Propaganda and truth) There’s something I’ve been meaning to share for a long time, but the relentless breaking news from Gaza has made it nearly impossible to sit down and write it. It’s important—urgently so. The armed men you sometimes see riding on top of food or fuel

FARMING LOOKS MIGHTY EASY when you’re a thousand miles from the cornfield, and your plough is a pencil” — President Dwight D. Eisenhower This week, the Farmers Guardian reported that another 150 farms disappeared in the UK. That’s 150 mums and dads, Sons and daughters, Dogs in

The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC. Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic: Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the
