Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Here are some bottles celebrating the tradition and great figures within it like Sir Walter Scott and Lord Cockburn.

A Scottish ship from a 17th Century Diorama of the fleet on the Quai des Chartrons in Bordeaux. Because of the Auld Alliance, the Scots were given privileges in the claret wine trade that lasted centuries and whose echoes are still being felt today. I write about it here:

A passage from Scots The Mither Tongue on the medieval Scots makars Dunbar & Henryson who created some of the best poetry in Europe back then. This damsel in The Twa Mairrit Wemen & the Wedo is scathing about her husband’s declining virility! Get the whole book on Audible.

This is a great quote from Steinbeck on Scotland. It was true then and is still true.

If you vote for a Britnat party you become part of the problem - giving up on Scotland as a lost cause - and not part of the solution - voting SNP to make sure that our just cause is won, our sovereignty is restored and our nation once again is thriving at the heart of Europe.

A magnificent performance by @dundeeunitedfc. Scored a superb winner that was chopped off for a dodgy off side shout, so we had to do it again. Brilliant that it was Sapsford who scored both! True grit and a great midfield show once again.

El ejército genocida de "Israel" está llevando una limpieza étnica masiva en Hebrón (Cisjordania) a modo de castigo colectivo después de una operación armada de 2 jóvenes palestinos contra el apartheid sionista. Esto lo hacían los nazis en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando los partisanos antifascistas de un pueblo ocupado por los nazis hacían una acción armada contra ellos, iban al pueblo de donde pertenecían y lo destruían entero.

Great to see @billykayscot back at the Dundee Burns Club for readings of his ‘Born in Kyle’ memoir, supported by club singers . This year the Club has hosted around 24 events - our forthcoming St Andrews Night Dinner with @StephenGethins sold out in a week. @shelligoe

How does Israel get away with just ordering over 400 families to leave their homes on foot overnight? Absolute scum of Earth.

The Israeli army has ordered more than 400 Palestinian families to evacuate their homes in Hebron, leaving thousands of people stranded in the streets with nowhere to go.
