Young adults face unemployment, low wages, debt.

Govt can help, adopt Scottish policies
No university tuition fees.
No prescription charges (also in Wales)
Free bus travel for the under-22s, many on low minimum wage.

Treating young adults in England as second class is a political choice.

The MAGA Plot to Take Down Canada A growing movement of MAGA-pilled Albertan separatists would happily break up the country to be closer to Trump.

Figures like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, who has explicitly compared Canada to Ukraine, see Canada as a bastion of decadent liberalism in the West that must be broken and subdued, one way or another.

Four bullet points. 1 Housing is my top priority. Houses should be homes first and foremost. The geographical unfairness of energy bills is indefensible. Those who face colder winters, have old homes, & generate more energy should have lower bills. The SNP has provided record NHS funding. Waiting times have fallen for 8 months in a row. We built a National Treatment Centre. I've spoken up for road & rail improvements

I was pleased to see the Highland News & Media Readers' Manifesto aligned closely with my own views and priorities for Inverness and Nairn.

I responded in full, covering past achievements and plans for the future.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

How does the Scottish NHS compare with its English counterpart you ask? This ten minute video will answer your question. Hopefully someone will pass it to Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie. 👇

#SNP1SGP2 to put a huge Indy majority in Holyrood and as an extra added bonus, kick Labour out of Scottish politics

Fall in UK net migration threatens to carve deep hole in public finances Issue is expected to come under the spotlight in chancellor Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement

The migration doom loop at work: does anyone in government seriously think that a strategy designed to keep out skilled workers and students makes either economic or political sense?

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

While Labour and Tories attempt to defend the indefensibly high student debt in England, Scottish students get free tuition thanks to the SNP.

For as long as we’re in government, Scottish undergraduate students will pay no fees.

Vote SNP to protect free university tuition.

Independence has never been more vital for Scotland.

Scottish Greens have a plan to build a positive case for putting Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands.

Photo of Yusuf at a lectern saying “shadow Home Secretary” (Wot?) Reform's plan for a 'British ICE' combines cruelty with stupidity

Project forward to 2036 under a majority Reform government and the picture darkens further. Britain would be smaller, older and whiter; more isolated from Europe; paradoxically, more vulnerable to foreign interterence and less able to fund its own defence. The welfare state would shrink to a skeleton. Charity would fill the gaps. Flags would proliferate; rights would not. The police and courts would be politicised. The BBC could disappear. The NHS would survive only as a minimal safety net. Protections against discrimination would erode - you might indeed be sacked for being disabled. Migrants and even their British-born children could find their rights curtailed unless they were deemed to "contribute" sufficiently. Meanwhile, the wealthiest would enjoy a generous, low-tax regime.

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.”

Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination.

Iceland looks to fast-track vote on joining EU A referendum on resuming membership talks had been expected in 2027, but could come as early as this August.

Hopefully we will see an enlarged EU soon. Montenegro is close to joining and now Iceland are considering fast-tracking memberships.

Of course, the irony of Trump’s post about us needing to send a “hospital boat” to Greenland was that it only emphasized the point that we, in fact, do not have any hospital ships in service right now that are available, while Greenlanders have free universal health care.
