Scottish Greens.
Flamingo Land are back. Over two years since they were forced to withdraw their application as a result of our campaign, the Yorkshire-based theme park operator have submitted new plans for a 'tourist resort' on the shores of Loch Lomond at Balloch. With your help, we can stop this – lodge an objection to their plans today.

Declassified UK.
Israel lobby funded a third of Conservative MPs
Exclusive: Tory politicians have accepted over £430,000 from Israel lobby groups and made 187 trips to the country.
Some 126 of the Tory party’s 344 MPs have accepted funding from pro-Israel lobby groups, Declassified has found.
The revelation comes as Rishi Sunak calls a general election in which his unequivocal backing of Israel could cost the party votes.

‘United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution calling on the Security Council to reconsider Palestinian membership to the UN passed on Friday.’
#UN #UnitedNationsGeneralAssembly
#Palestine
Reminder that this resolution does not make Palestine a UN member.
That requires a Security Council recommendation, which the United States vetoed.
This General Assembly vote determines that Palestine is qualified for UN membership, and gives Palestine more procedural rights
