Seeing @10DowningStreet showing “support” for Ukraine with a facade of lights in Ukrainian flag colours - while the government simultaneously suspends visa applications for Ukrainians fleeing the war - is truly sickening. The sheer, brazen, absolute hypocrisy.

@h_ct_r_maci_nes Aye it’s been a good few years now but every time I consider changing it, I can’t really find anything more fitting...

The Home Office is rotten to its core. Glasgow showed them the door today, but they’ll double down now because they’ve been humiliated and defeated by community power. We all need to find the strength, power and solidarity we saw today. Glasgow showed us how it’s done.

The community response in Pollokshields today has me feeling incredible proud and hopeful... a beautiful, powerful display of empathy and humanity. Well done everyone involved. Should be a day of deep shame (among many) for @ukhomeoffice...

The Home Office needs to ask itself hard questions after today. Doing this on Eid, in the heart of our Muslim community, and in the midst of a serious Covid outbreak was staggeringly irresponsible - but the even deeper problem is an appalling asylum & immigration policy.

Remarkable. The Home Office will have hated conceding in the face of popular protest and representations from @NicolaSturgeon

People are trying to get food and water to the people being held in the van but @PoliceScotland are refusing. It is clear they do not serve their communities.

Here, @policescotland used a @Scotambservice paramedic as an excuse to get heavy handed with the crowd. People in the crowd were asking for a paramedic to be sent to the immigration van to make sure the guys were okay. There was no way that paramedic was in any danger.

📺 @AngusRobertson expertly dismantles the desperate Tory spin of "no mandate for #indyref2." SNP have won 47 seats declared so far, Tories have 3. If the people voted for a referendum, there will be a referendum.

So according to the BBC, a 7000 majority was a "stongking majority and a comfortable hold for the Tories" But a 9000 majority for Oor Nicola was her "managing to hold on" See how it works yet?

Just left #ReclaimTheseStreets vigil. I went to connect with women in our shared grief but it was ruined by men’s behaviour — the man who occupied stage with megaphone who wouldn’t leave, photographers + cameramen inches away, refusing to stop and chatting through minute silence.

There should be an immediate investigation into the last few days of police decisions over Reclaim the Streets, including what is happening right now, and there should be resignations at the end of it. This is morally unconscionable.
