It was a rough morning for Big Aquaculture. Chris Packham took our campaign to ITV, explaining to Good Morning Britain viewers that Scottish salmon farming is a lose-lose-lose for consumers, Scotland, and most of all, the fish.

Well, no surprise there. A government committed to weapons of mass murder will want to maintain and develop the nuclear skills base.
Melanie Ward MP@melanie_wardOct 15
Following yesterday’s debate in Parliament, I’ve written in @TheScotsman on why it’s time for the SNP to modernise their stance on nuclear energy. Their ban is not in Scotland’s interests. We stand ready to work with Scottish Govt to bring new jobs and investment to Scotland.

The power we are searching for is the power to stop Scotland being the launch pad for the UK's monstrous weapons of mass destruction, the power to end complicity in genocide, the power to (list continues). Anything else amounts to a con.
Tweet today from Melanie Ward MP: "I spoke to @bbc5live about the speech that Andy Burnham will be making in Lanarkshire today. He’ll invite John Swinney and the Scottish Government to work with us to push power out of Holyrood and Westminster, and closer to people. We can work together on a new shared mission."

Nuclear weapons remain amongst the foremost threats to humanity, according to the Lancet's recent report on global risks. Despite a reduction in global stockpiles since the Cold War, there are STILL more than enough nuclear weapons to end humanity by triggering nuclear winter.

There's a type of NGO in Europe - new-ish, elite origin, entirely or mostly government-funded, does mainly communications/discourse stuff - that reacts to current funding cuts with indignation and an immense sense of entitlement, of the centrality of their work to our democracy.

Happy 100th birthday to David Attenborough. According to @LukeTryl, easily the closest the UK public comes to consensus on a fantasy prime minister. Never wiser than 5 years ago when addressing the UN Security Council on the urgency of rethinking security. bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-en…

Attenborough: 'We face the collapse of everything'

Climate change could destroy "entire cities" in a matter of decades, says Sir David Attenborough.

The Review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is ongoing. Along with the other nuclear-armed states the UK is utterly cynical, claiming the Treaty as the" cornerstone" of disarmament, but blatantly in breach of Articles 1 and V1. Crisp analysis here: icanw.org/the_cornerstone_re…

The Cornerstone Report

The NPT was built on a two-sided promise: countries without nuclear weapons would not develop them, and the five that already had them would get rid of theirs. Fifty-eight years later, one side has...

The two A-10s were supported by a KC-135 that landed at Prestwick - Scotland is also part of the war on Iran. @SecureScotland @NuclearbanS @ChairScnd

2 more A-10s landing at Lakenheath. They are from a different squadron (74th) from the other 18 that passed through the base earlier this month (124 & 127 FW). There are probably going to be more arriving in the next few days.
