Perhaps Labour could explain this disparity? Apparently it only cooperates with the governments of other nations when ๐—œ๐—ง is running them.

Will be interesting to see what happens if Plaid Cymru takes control in May.

At a time when the nuclear weapons are endangering us all, Switzerlandโ€™s continued refusal to join the #NuclearBan contradicts both parliamentary will and long-held commitment to neutrality and multilateralism.

Did you know, the global majority rejects nuclear weapons?

Yes, in a world that often feels bleak, with new weapons being built, threats exchanged, and billions wasted on nukes; the majority is standing up for the #NuclearBan. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™Œ

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

As politicians across all parties add to the clamour for greater investment in defence, whilst at the same time fall in line behind cuts to welfare spending, It is more important to organise & call for Join Stop the War Coalition & Scottish CND to organise efforts ahead of 10th May in Glasgow.

Scotland needs more carers, but Westminster is driving them away.

Labourโ€™s hostile immigration plans and their tax on jobs are hammering Scotlandโ€™s social care sector.

With the fresh start of independence, we can build a migration system suited to our needs and interests.

Does anyone actually know what Keir Starmer thinks about Brexit?

My view hasnโ€™t changed: Brexit is a disaster, Scotland belongs in Europe, so letโ€™s become independent and join the EU with our own seat at the table.
