Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

Whilst it provides no proof, This is evidence that @scottishgreens.org @snp.org attempts to establish the return scheme were scuppered deliberately by the then Viceroy of Scotland Alister Jack to deliver a 'bloody nose' & keep the jackboot of England firmly against our throats.

Bradford is nearly 1/3rd Muslim, Hindu or Sikh.

Question Time picked an audience that was more than 90% White.

That tells you everything.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Good news!

Scottish Labour MPs and MSPs stayed silent on US whisky tariffs, FOI reveals

The wider Scottish economy benefits from an injection of around £1.68 billion from salaries.

John Swinney to talk whisky with US ambassador in defiance of Douglas Alexander

NEW: John Swinney will meet with the US ambassador on Saturday, just 24 hours after Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander attacked the SNP leader’s involvement in trade talks with the Trump administration

Absolutely.

4 INDEPENDENT nations
can CHOOSE
to work together on trade/defence, which will lead to a far more productive future.

Time for a meeting of all 4 nations political leaders to discuss Independence.
Scotland will leave regardless, it’s inevitable.
Discussion within all 4 should start now.

The UK is a busted flush.

Decades of chaos, corruption and decline have proved it beyond doubt.

It’s time to abolish Westminster and end the Union.

All nations, including the reunification of the Island of Ireland, deserve the chance to choose their own future.

Nail on the head.

We are being told SNP have no plans. They are written in the Scottish government papers for all to read.
Hardly top secret.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Sharon Graham, UNITE, "If you've got a £1,700 bill, £500 of that is profit.. They've made £30 billion in a single year.. It's obscene"

Meanwhile Labour go after the poor, the disabled, the elderly, instead of windfall taxing energy companies. Disgraceful

Aye, except it's the opposite of what Badenoch thinks. Hacking an MPs emails is a serious offence and I don't understand why she's not been prosecuted. It may have been a prank but then a lot of young ppl are in prison today for exactly that. Why has she been given a pass? MP's entitlement?

The branch offices of the unionist parties have done nothing for Scotland apart from talk us down.
At every turn they fail to recognise the benefits of Holyrood & what the SNP led administration has delivered in the last 18 years.
All this, With one hand tied firmly behind our backs.

State support for UK banks

Bailouts: Govts found £1162bn (£133bn cash+£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008
£895bn QE
State is the lender of last resort
£85k bank deposit safety guarantee
PFI profits
£22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England

Who else gets this level of state support?

Amazon cutting 14,000 jobs while registering astronomical profits shows everything that’s wrong with the business.

Bezos spends billions launching celebs into space, but he can’t treat his loyal workforce with dignity.

We'll always stand with Amazon workers.
