This just confirms that if the Unionist party's get the MSP's to form a Scottish Government. They will put what little policy differences they have behind them to form an administration if it means putting the SNP out of power. Maybe not a coalition, but support agreement, memo of understanding etc.

They did say they would work hand in hand with Refkkk, slimy labour trash.

We've been warned...

I remember when Labour used to talk like this.

I wonder how many likes and reposts this post will get: over the years I've noticed that these type of posts don't interest the UK public in the slightest.

If they end up in hospital they may die.... simply because no one was there to help them... did they vote for doctors or bankers?

They try to manage & influence " a war " that already ended many years ago.... pointless

Still no medals.... just checked.... and they expected between 4 and 8 according to my AI tool....

I'd forgotten about that graphic - I created it so long ago. Still perfectly valid unfortunately.

The BBC Scotland news prog is just awful. So low brow it hurts. If not some ambulance chasing style story then football. It rarely touches business & never compares Scotland with its peers. I watch it now & then just to check if its changed but it hasn't. It's designed for dumbing down.

Sounds good!

How much of that would have been undermined by the UK if still a member?

I guess most of it and maybe all.

Brexit benefit?

The EU economic integration is accelerating further and very fast, now in the 6th gear 👇

Unfortunately, the Labour reset for our cooperation has moved from park to 1st gear and now to park again and maybe a little in reverse as well.

The SNP is working hard to reduce the cost of living, and this is the latest example.

It is weird indeed: a kamikaze act with no consequences (maybe) to fool the voters in Scotland....

Interesting theory.

Resident doctors in Scotland vote to accept pay offer and avoid strike action RESIDENT doctors have voted to accept a revised pay and contract reform offer and call off strike action

Well done SNP for working in partnership with doctors rather than calling them names like Wes Streeting does in England

You think cakeism is talking sense?

Unhelpful exceptionalism again.

What's in it for the EU?

She's only interested in benefits for the UK..... EU out of the loop as usual.

Pointless

Mealy mouthed rubbish again from the Libdems..... " a better deal " meaning cakeism of course.

She's not helping anyone.

Strike action avoided in Scotland yet again but the English Health Secretary , Streeting doesn’t care about patients and waiting lists in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Well done the adults in the Scottish govt.

The UK can't be compared with Ukraine.

We do indeed have an obligation towards Ukraine not to the UK.

Every time I see a post saying "UK should join Single Market or Customs Union" I marvel at the exceptionalism of this statement. Let alone "we should Rejoin, but not euro or Schengen".

You fools. You had it all 10 years ago, you squandered it, now you're cold outside and you still want concessions?

A fietsstraat in the Netherlands, where cyclists have priority and cars are guests. Important to reiterate that this isn’t just a “cyclists have priority” sign you can slap on any street - they’re only used on access roads with very low car traffic, usually only just for residents and access.

What? We still haven't got a medal?

TBH I haven't followed the winter games sofar.....

Ed should save the nation from embarrassment!

The I paper headline: A Brexit rethink is emerging. But Europe fears Farage will destroy it.

I am increasingly negative about the chances of a positive resolution.

The fundamentals that led to Brexit are still there - frustration with UKG, anti-Europeanism, poor jobs, ignorance, and populist-fascist voting - with the latter if anything stronger.

The UK must change.
