While being horrified at the apparent popularity of reform, I'm comforted by that pic. Pinning hopes on successful co-operation with Greens.
Can bright young leaders complement SNP experience?
As for reform, I hope the failure we see in English councils damps down any support up here.

If only the drop-down menus gave unBritish as an option!
Looking forward to clicking Scotland instead of UK.

Keir Starmer tells students not to protest on anniversary of Hamas attacks Keir Starmer has urged students not to protest on the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks ...

Starmer branding his โ€œun-Britishโ€œ at folk protesting.

He doesnโ€™t seem to realise some of us are glad to be called โ€œun-Britishโ€, itโ€™s almost a compliment.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iโ€™ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Dear friends of teens (or anyone) learning to drive: can we please make it clear the etiquette for ambulances coming by with sirens. Pull over. It doesnโ€™t matter how important you think you are or the hurry you are in. Pull over. Thank you. Sincerely, me ๐Ÿš‘

The optics of 3 independence First Ministers standing alongside each other, demanding the democratic right to constitutional change, would be iconic

Should this happen, it will galvanise the Indy / Reunification campaigns, and be an eye opener around Europe and the world

Agree and have reposted.

But I hate it when I read posts like this and they're aimed specifically at older voters who are automatically labelled pro tory/reform, anti-eu and anti-independence.

As a Scot I'm obliged to point out that health care is free at point of need.
BUT throughout our working lives we pay Natiomal Insurance contributions to fund the health service.
That's far from COMMUNISM!
USA needs to learn the meaning of political terms!

Battle against anti fascists.

Wasn't that what WW 2 was all about?

That's why my father and other family members fought fascists like Hitler and Mussolini.

They were certainly anti fascist.

Wd ICE have arrested them?
