Where is the other route ?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Against the backdrop of Labour and Westminster chaos, the SNP is putting money back in your pocket. Make it #BothVotesSNP on Thursday 7th May 2026 for a Scottish Government that is on your side.

Hush money, plain and simple.

Humza telling it as it is. 🔽Showing how utterly appalling most US and UK journalists, editors, and media commentators are, because ultimately its those who he is speaking about. If you are one of them, listen to what he says and ask yourself, are you one of those he speaks of ?

It was the plan from the beginning, especially given Trumps age.

Its all performative nonsense, its partly why over 250,000 English have moved to Scotland in the last 5 years, and huge numbers of them support Indy, sinking ships and all that.

You can guarantee @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social this will not be broadcast by BBCScotland, nothing positive that might give the SNP some credit it ever is, its why BBC viewer figures are falling like a stone here, Scots are beyond tired of the BBC manipulation by omission policy, I dumped my licence.

its unworkable in practice

What comes next will be even worse, just look at Vance and Hegseth.

One person isn`t, its the GOP, thier are millions of them and they are just to ignorant to realise what they are doing.

Well said

The Scottish Parliament passed our Scottish Budget at Stage 1.

It includes the best cost of living support package in the UK, while ensuring 55% of Scottish taxpayers pay less income tax than south of the border.

The SNP government is on your side.

Supposition is all we really have, thier is no undisputable evidence for Blair, its been debunked multiple times, I know I`ve looked, mind you I don`t doubt thier are hundreds of other scandals emerging that are even worse, much, much worse

More than a safety net: The welfare state as springboard to economic success and a better country | IPPR It is widely proposed that higher social spending – especially in the form of social security benefits – is damaging to the economy. Yet the evidence prese

Interesting new report from @ipprscotland.bsky.social
Focused on Scotland but relevant across the UK in making the case for social security investment.

True, but no political party survives assassinating mothers and ICU nurses in broad daylight, witnessed by millions, so even on a very cursory level its clear they are not thinking in terms of electoral impact, thier is only one conclusion for that. The Epstein scandal follows the same rationale.

Scotgov will be leery of anything involving risky capital intensive engineering projects post the Ferries. Can you imagine the headlines the first time a rocket failed ?

Agreed, I think not enough Americans have woken up to the fact they have no intention of leaving office, ever, except at the end of a gun, its the only language they truly understand. It reminds me of the bully scornfully taunting "whatcha gunna do about it" and laughing as they walk away.

Its a long list of allegations made by a conspiracy theorist to the FBI, I`m no supporter of Blair or Brown but this just does not came across as entirely credible, the sheer logistics of it alone make it nonsensical. www.theguardian.com/news/2003/ja... www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics...

In other words, Trump's approval is in the toilet and Gallup didn't want to get sued for billions of dollars because they told everyone he's about as popular as a thrombosed hemorrhoid. digg.com/politics/TB5...

Removed by who exactly ? you ?

No

That took place 40 years ago, look around

Sickening

yup

If voters truly wanted change the 11 million that sat it out would have voted, they didn`t, says it all, Corbyn was the best chance they had and I doubt it will come around again for another 5-10 years further decline is inevitable, I hope I`m wrong.

That's what you get with an uneducated electorate - chaos.

I hope he learns how to be flexible part of a mass movement, because that's what I feel is emerging, and to survive the murmurations of a mass movement takes some seasoning.

He particularly liked the diversity of lived experience informing attendees to meetings that is driving the policy making and organising that is going on. He told me it felt more related grounded in reality, more pragmatic, wide ranging and less theoretical.

One thing that struck me is just how wide and deep the support is for Corbyn in the established activist networks, his status in them is beyond legendary, as one young activist said to me when I visited a meeting, he`s paid his dues in spades.
