John Swinney: 'I won't rest until child poverty is eradicated in Scotland' In his Daily Record column, First Minister John Swinney says he will today unveil further steps to tackle child poverty.

Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies.

But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back.

I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

Oh, the things I could list about it being absolute made up slop....

I'm pretty sure folks in England would be outraged to learn another country had brought nuclear weapons onto it's soil, which had they known about, they would be very much against.

Welcome to the Scotland/England dynamic!

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Democracy in the UK

Unelected Head of state
Unelected second chamber of parliament
MPs pressurized to toe the party line
Political parties, too many legislators available for hire to the super-rich
Unlike the EU no workplace democracy

FPTP skews election outcomes

Deep social/economic problems.

Few resources and many commitments: fiscal reality for next Parliament Elections are about choices but choices must be understood within the fiscal environment in which they will be made

We can do more even within the fiscal cage muntil we finally achieve our independence

Firemen and women and Mr Kongira. Such bravery shouldn’t be ignored. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Glasgow Central Station: Warning of further disruption as fire brought under control Dozens of services have been cancelled and the station will be closed until further notice.

While we're acknowledging heroes, hats off to Mr Kongira here.

Two firefighters resting, sitting on the plinth of the "Citizen Firefighter" statue.

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).

Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.

Citizens; heroes.

Great Britain has only two days of gas stored, while Iran war threatens to disrupt supplies National Gas insists storage broadly in line with levels for time of year despite disruption for tankers carrying LNG

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.

Maximum capacity is 12 days.

Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.

UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.

The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.

Councillor Chris Large's departure from Reform a mystery Neither Reform UK or Chris Large have commented on why he is no longer a member of the party.

Reform replaced its Staffs council leader over not declaring extreme social media content when vetted. His replacement has stood down & left the party, after revelations of racist social media content on an anon account, though neither he nor the party will confirm why

Will we be forced to salute them all?

Maybe a supervised pledge of allegiance every morning in your workplace, too?

Daily mass meetings where we are expected to shout "Heil Nigel", and non-participants quietly disappear?

And she was correct!

Mhairi Black widely praised for speech about UK government 'sleepwalking to fascism' An MP has received praise after delivering a rip-roaring speech accusing the government of "sleepwalking to fascism".During a debate about economic growth, SNP MP Mhairi Black levelled a number of cri...

"When I say the F word, I am talking about fascism—fascism wrapped in red, white and blue. You may mock and you may disagree, but fascism does not come in with intentional evil plans or the introduction of leather jackboots. It does not happen like that. It happens subtly."
Mhairi Black, May 2022

Farage made a big song and dance about flying to the US to lobby against our national interest. He wasn’t even given the time of day. Unpatriotic and pathetic.

What happened to the precedent of loyal opposition standing behind UK interests abroad? Farage is undermining them.

I wonder whether, with hindsight, Westminster realises that refusing to offer the same financial aid to Grangemouth as they did to other industrial centres in England was maybe a *really* bad idea? #Scotland #Holyrood26 #SNP1SGP2

Farage "has invested £215,000 in Stack BTC Plc, the crypto-holding business led by the former Conservative chancellor", Kamikaze Kwarteng.

"The company is valued at £3.85mn and its shares have fallen by almost a third since it revealed in early November that it would hoard bitcoin."
