Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman pedalling nonsense on Good Morning Britain #@GMB. Says country has far too mich immigration. Have you ever been to Scotland Suella? Are you at all aware of the acute employment issues caused by Brexit? We need more migrants here, not less. #gmb
Utter nonsense. Have the grace to congratulate the better team #ArgentinaNationalTeam
Be proud of England - they carried themselves better in defeat than Argentina did in victory thesun.co.uk/sport/39775207/…
Congratulations Messi et al. Tough luck England. Best team won, get over it. Vamos Argentina. @BBCSport @talkSPORT @Argentina @WorldCupEra @TartanArmyGroup @cuba_granma #ArgentinaNationalTeam @EdwardJDavey @England @WorldCup26HQ @TeleFootball
Can @FIFAcom and it's president, @FIFANTINO please explain why on earth anyone thought it appropriate to make this award to Trump who at the time was already laying claim to Greenland and Canada. Just a few months later he launched a war against Iran. #Fifacorruption
Oh what a surprise - NOT.
RAF responding to suspected drone strike at UK base in Cyprus, MoD says bbc.in/4u0xf8A
Our prime minister says the govt has learned lessons from one illegal war (Iraq) and yet at the same time offers UK military bases to the US so it can carry out another (Iran). Or is this just a Putin-like "military operation"?? @Keir_Starmer don't be another @RBX_TonyBlair
I cannot vote for ANY party, whether in Scottish or UK elections, which does not denounce in the strongest possible terms the warmonger Trump, US attacks on Venezuela and Iran, and Israel's appalling genocide in Gaza. Those who don't speak up are complicit. @Keir_Starmer
Easy peasy for Newcastle but @Uefa @fifa please please sort out these farcical handball decisions. They are killing the game. First penalty awarded was a joke. Short of having their arms amputated, what should defenders do in these situations? @BBCSport #NewcastleUnited
A ruthless first half from Newcastle 😳
They lead 5-0 at the break, with Anthony Gordon scoring four 🔥
But @PatNevin is not impressed with what he's seen from Qarabag...

Junk mail from @reformparty_uk through my letterbox. Got to fifth paragraph before they started on asylum seekers/migrants. Hopefully, Scottish voters will see this xenophobic, inflammatory claptrap for what it is. Immigration is not the root of UK woes @Nigel_Farage #racism
Say no to intervention in Cuba and Latin America. Sign the urgent call for Peace and Sovereignty today! cuba-solidarity.org.uk/peace…
Can someone please explain the difference between Iceland and Greenland to the dumbest, most dangerous US president ever.

Can someone please explain the difference between #Iceland and #Greenland to the US president - Trump says he wants 'immediate negotiations' to acquire Greenland - BBC News
pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/new… Today, we are proud to launch a new campaign that reinforces what we’ve always stood for: being the voice of the north.
Just seen this from @StagecoachBBird "Due to vehicle availability the X68 from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh at 09:10 will not run". So how many cancelled buses is that today and how is this backlog of passengers getting to Aberdeen? @PressandJournal
Calling it out @EllonMatters - but not to @StagecoachBBird Ellon to Aberdeen bus service a shambles. Two days running at least. We got to park and ride 7.40am. Two buses cancelled (X67 and X68) and the next (the slow X61) arrived full. Out of 22 people waiting, 3 or 4 squeezed on
Calling out @Aberdeenshire and @StagecoachBBird for the dreadful plan they've come up with for re-routing bus services through Ellon for next three months. Outlying parts of Ellon left with no public transport for getting into town centre or local bus stops for Aberdeen. Stupid.
Calling out @StagecoachBBird for putting an old single decker on a peak time service from Ellon to Aberdeen around 8am today. Standing room only - probably beyond safe limits - and some passengers not able to get on at all, arriving in Aberdeen late for college, work etc. Stupid.
