I love living in London and Britain has been amazing to me in many ways. It's my home. But boy, England, you have a big,big problem with racism, xenophobia and misogyny combined with a disdain for intellectuals. You need to have an open national debate about it asap.

Have a look at this wonderful yacht called Scheherezade. It’s been talked about for a while. The rumour is it belongs to Vladimir Putin. But there is not much proof, only talks. And that's why it hasn’t been arrested yet. It just sits there in the port of Carrara (🇮🇹).

Does anyone know when was the last time this "journalist" published an article which was NOT an attack job on the SNP or the YES movement generally? Is it normal for someone in his position to focus almost his entire output on negative coverage of one area of news? #IndyStalker

Has there been any response to this from any Ivy League administrators yet?

I want to speak directly to the parents of the Ivy League women's swim team members. I'm an Ivy alumna. You have my full support. You and your daughters were wronged. You were coerced, silenced, and threatened. I assure you, almost no alumni support the egregious misogyny Ivy 1/

So, if it wasn't bad enough that so many poor people have to pay rich people's loans back just to put a roof over their families, it now turns out that rich people are removing that money from the local economy and stashing it away for themselves.

Every day I wake up after that man has opened his mouth, I feel as if a little bit more of me has died. A little bit more of my kids’ future has been damaged. A little bit more of what my parents taught me to believe has been laughed at. And it feels very, very personal.

Surely anyone who buys a ticket from P&O after this deserves to be treated by their friends in exactly the same way as this man is treating his employees. Contempt and disregard.

It's obvious to everyone except opposition politicians this snp govt is doing more for the least well off in Scotland than ever before. But scotgov helps with one hand, the tories in London take away. £20 child payment then £20 taken off UC. Only independence can fix this #fmqs

The PM says it is dangerous to buy oil and gas from a violent blood-soaked dictatorship in Russia. So he is going to ask for more oil and gas from a violent blood -soaked dictatorship in S Arabia instead.

That £2.6m Downing Street briefing room refit? A firm called Megahertz carried out the crucial work, installing computers, cameras, microphones and control desk. Megahertz is owned by Okno-TV. Based in Moscow. At the time, No10 said they had ‘absolutely’ no security concerns.

And so, in a revolting festival of human blood, Chelsea and Newcastle United are about to play football. Pass me the sick bucket. Can the English Premier League bosses even spell “fit “ and “proper”?

Over on GB News, Nigel Farage is complaining about the government sanctioning Russian oligarchs. "Is it right to seize people's assets without any form of due process? And will it really turn Russians against Vladimir Putin? I'm concerned about the way this is being done."

My supplier of what they tell me is wholly renewable electricity told me it’s doubling its price to me today. But the price of producing renewable electricity has not changed right now. There is in that case no reason for this. The government is simply permitting profiteering.

✂️ The UK government is handing out another £4bn tax cuts for the banks, while imposing welfare cuts on low income families. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Meanwhile in Scotland, despite limited powers, we're rejecting austerity and we're already delivering 11 new benefits. #bbcdn

In Scotland, we’ve built a fairer social security system that puts people first, in stark contrast to continuing Tory austerity.

Word of the day is ‘battologist’ (17th century): an individual who repeats the same story over and over, even when all the facts contradict them.

It is horrific and unconscionable that the Russians dropped butterfly mines to block civilian evacuation of Mariupol after they declared a cease-fire to permit evacuation. Which they did. It's the deliberate maiming of children. May God have mercy on their souls. I do not. 7/7🇺🇦
