Just waiting for the SNP to be made a proscribed organisation by Westminster.
They're that scared of us leaving, they won't have another option.

Scotland is a net exporter of electricity to the rest of the UK.

It exported approximately 15.9 TWh of electricity to UK nations, including 13.9 TWh to England and Wales.

Much comes from renewable sources, 91.2% being low-carbon in 2023.

Scottish Independence, there's not even an argument.

The reform party nativity scene.

No unmarried mothers. No Middle Eastern people. No refugees. No people seeking emergency accommodation.

While Labour copies Farage’s policies, our NHS and care homes are finding it harder to recruit the staff they need.

We have a solution.πŸ‘‡

What is it about the electorate's inability to understand when they are being sold a 'pup'?
I'm not defending Nippy & her ex hubs, But this smacks of one huge cover up which surely would bring into question Labour's legitimacy to govern.

Vote Labour at HR election next year and Scottish Labour could almost certainly make NHS staff pay for parking at work.

Is that what you really want for the hard working nurses and medics who look after you when you are at your most vulnerable ??

As the Herald fusses today over future plans to reduce primary schools' attainment gaps, why didn't they tell you this about how much they have already narrowed in Scotland but not in England?

The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission has said cats present a threat to wild animals & set out proposals to protect wildlife in a report to ScotGov. The mendacious British nationalist media spins this into - The SNP considers banning your pet cat. This is how trust is lost in the media.

Would Labour in Scotland still exist if it cut ties with party HQ in England, to become a Scottish party?

According to the Electoral Commission it doesn't even cover office and staff costs from membership fears: it's huge campaign costs are covered by cross-subsidy from England.

The SNP have delivered the fairest and most progressive income tax system in Britain, with a majority paying less on average than the rest of Britain.
