It is a small step the right way. But is lambasted by many in England. But it is nowhere near enough. But the charities can tell you that. Google the Scottish Child Payment whoch is described as a game changer.

And the rise of fascism today by people who call themselves patriots.

Too little too late by Labour. Both Scotland and Northern Ireland are far ahead of England and Wales in tackling child poverty. Removing the 2 child cap will not lead to a turnaround, it will only slow the rate of poverty. Child payments are the step change required to tackle child poverty.

Another caveat would be too little too late by Labour. Both Scotland and Northern Ireland are far ahead of England and Wales in tackling child poverty. Removing the 2 child cap will not lead to a turnaround, it will only slow the rate of increasing poverty.

🟥 If Scotland were an independent country, we would have our own Treasury. We could make our own decisions, instead of waiting for an afterthought from a neighbouring country.

BBC News. Labour ditches day-one protection from unfair dismissal in U-turn.

This is a disgraceful betrayal of workers by Labour.

Exploitation and unfair dismissal are never acceptable, so why should workers not have protections against them from day one?

Every worker deserves safety, dignity and security regardless of how long they have been in a job.

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR.
REMOVING THE 2 CHILD CAP WILL NOT REVERSE POVERTY.

IT WILL SLOW IT FOR SURE.

BUT ENGLAND AND WALES NEED A CHILD PAYMENT TO LIFT CHILDREN OUT OF POVERTY.

Too little too late. Poverty is spiraling out of control in England and Wales.

Child poverty rates and levels are very high in England and Wales. Both Labour and Tories hate the poor. Ending the 2 child cap is too little too late with no plans to improve child poverty rates. Shameful.

As I have posted previously, Labour are making such a big thing about ending the 2 child cap. Scotgov prioritised this before Labour did. And Scotgov went further by helping child poverty through through the Scottish Child payment. Labour in England and Wales have no such plans.

YAAAASSSSSS

Alot of whisky and other Scottish exports are exported via English ports. :(

Fair enough. Aberdeen is the busiest port in Scotland.

Sorry to be rude but how is that relevant? Grangemouth is not a port.

Yes. I did a fair bit of fundraising for this 😃

At some point Nick Robinson et al might realise that their fawning over Boris Johnson for years wasn’t a good plan.

Rich in produce and resources. However, much of the wealth goes south and is not reflected in GERS.

As Northern Ireland know, the UK are capable of murders that they cover up for centuries/decades. An election rigging is well within their capabilities.

Truly shocking that the rich and the rich are so exponentially richer than before. Reflection that the fascists that care about their own are in total control and those that care about society are shafted. At the moment the alternatives are:
England = Green Party
Wales = Plaid Cymru
Scotland = SNP

Over there it is an issue. Being quick at voting over here is probably an issue as well. The UK are running scared of separation. I fully expect vote rigging in the UK.

I live in Northern Ireland. I vote in every election. It takes me about 5-10 minutes at a local school. How come queues for hours are common in America? It can only be voter suppression. #elections #votersuppression

Labour trying to put Scot back in its nuclear box after FM stopped Scotgov subsidies to arms co's supplying Isreal. Every Scot voting SNP is a threat to UK's national security, or for Plaid in Wales or Sinn Fein in NI? Labour now 'Red Reform' Party & we all need to fall in line as English patriots.

MSM are still bleating on about Maccabi Tel Aviv fans not attending the match with Aston Villa.
THIS IS FARCICAL!
Israel should be banned from sport just like Russia has been. @Fifa @WorldAthletics @UCI_cycling are all complicit in allowing Israel to compete.

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

Westminster cannot let Scotland have cheaper energy because AI, Data Centres, manufacturing etc will move north.

NHS patients, staff & hospital visitors have saved over £90 million thanks to the scrapping of hospital parking charges by your SNP Scottish Government.

This is the way I normally vote. SNP1, SGP2. But this time the constituency vote may be closer. It will depend alot on predictions and accurate polling. There is also alot of time for unionists to plan their voting strategy. More and more are tactically voting and Reform UK are growing.
