I have received the first official estimate of the cost to Scotland's pensioners of the Prime Minister's attack on the triple lock.
It will take up to £4bn from Scotland's pensioners. And the Prime Minister plans to use it to pay for social care in England.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The £4bn is a Scottish Govt extrapolation of UK-wide savings for 2049-50 cash terms per their letter, not money taken from pensioners. UK pensions are reserved; English care spending rises would generate Barnett consequentials for Scotland.

On BBC Newsnight, Victoria Derbyshire put my demand to a Labour minister: Will you end the sale of F-35 parts to Israel?
His response: antisemitism.
A disgraceful, shameless attempt to deflect from the truth: Britain is still arming the occupation and facilitating genocide.
“Are you going to continue to export parts for the F-35 fighter jet?”
@vicderbyshire asks Stephen Doughty if he agrees with Jeremy Corbyn who says the UK must “end all arms sales and all military cooperation with Israel” following sanctions on West Bank settlements

One from the archives. The hypocrisy of Emily Thornberry.
Clip 1: You have to be even handed and treat all countries the same
Clip 2: Don't mention Israel. Don't mention Israel. Phew, didn't mention Israel.

This is Keir Starmer's only legacy. May it haunt him always. And may he one day soon be held to account for his crimes

In 1944, the British Labour party proposed that the Arabs of Palestine needed to be transfered outside of Palestine to make way for Jews, because of the German Nazi plan to kill all Jews in Europe.
Their solution to extermination of the Jews of Europe was the removal of the Palestinians from Palestine.
The only way to land on this view is if you believe Jews were more human than Arabs. That's the entire basis of the support for Zionist movement: you have to accept that one's group plight needs to be resolved at the expense of another's.
The only way you support Zionism is if you are a Jewish supremacist.

This is corruption of the British government by a foreign power. Most of these senior politicians also take cash from Israeli sources. Until this scandal is properly exposed and closed down, Andy Burnham is on borrowed time. The terrorist, apartheid state of Israel must be rooted out of our politics like the invasive species it is.

My message to Andy Burnham: call time on Israel’s illegal occupation and its genocide against the Palestinian people.

The Imbiber series covers the Scottish tradition of fine wine appreciation that goes back to the days of the Auld Alliance with France. You can also read about it here in the book. You can get signed copies from me.
A few of my classic series of radio documentaries are available here. So if you're interested in Scottish literature, language, nationalism, the Declaration of Arbroath, Don Roberto, the Complete Caledonian Imbiber etc etc you'll enjoy these.

Historians will look back at this period and ask: what were politicians doing during the greatest crime of our time?
First Minister retweeted
A terrible disappointment who not only failed on the greatest moral issue of our day but actively collaborated with and assisted an entire government of genocidal maniacs

This is your legacy on the occupied Palestinian territory, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. History will remember your complicity.
Despite a partial arms suspension in 2024, Keir Starmer's government has continued to enable Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, their families and children through the supply of F-35 fighter jet parts.
Nothing can change the horrors Palestinians have faced. But the next Prime Minister has an opportunity to put an end to the UK Government's role as an ally to atrocities.
The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms sales to Israel
🔴 Suspend the UK-Israel trade and partnership agreement
🔴 Ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements
To the next Prime Minister: what will your plaque say?
ALT A blue plaque mounted on a stone wall reads: "HISTORY WILL NOT FORGET COMPLICITY. KEIR STARMER witnessed 73,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, including 21,000 children, and kept supplying arms to Israel."
