most likely the worst politician of our lifetime. schoolboy clegg sold his supporters out for a taste of power, and did so enough to allow the tories time to set the framework for another decade in power, while decimating his own party's support in a way they will never recover from. human filth

There is a way to embarrass the hell out of the BBC over this.

A mass vote for Lineker as Presenter of the Year at the National Television Awards.

A massive slap to the collective face of the Genocide apologist cadre running the BBC

I’m going to coin a law - call it Maugham’s First Law - and it is that nothing Wes Streeting ever says turns out to be true. 🧵

nothing needs to be paid for to be nationalised! attlee nationalised everything by giving the shareholders gov bonds to replace their equity, and using the profits of the companies to pay those bonds to maturity!

when they were nationalised by attlee, they didn't cost anything ... gov bonds used to replace the equity of the stockholders, profits used to pay these bonds to maturity ... wouldn't cost anything now to renationalise them

still less money in barnett consequentials ... when will we realise that we can't afford to keep mitigating westminster's cruelty ...

bsky.app/profile/ocdu... no?

this is, of course, not to say that capital punishment is at all morally justifiable. just that this isn't an instance of barbarism, but rather of more humane execution than the ones they spend millions developing that are tantamount to torture

the firing squad is actually the most humane method of execution.

multiple executioners, most of whom have blanks, to reduce their mental burden. near instant death, unlike the agonising, torturous pain of lethal injection / electric chairs. no chance of failure, as multiple shots are fired.

She'll no get tax credits for this one...

We have exceeded our pledge to deliver 64,000 NHS surgeries and procedures by the end of March 2025.

By the end of January, with two months to go, we’ve already delivered over 75,500.

And with the record NHS funding in our Budget, @thesnp.bsky.social will keep reducing waiting times.

Well, now you know Dunfermline where your £5M went.

Without economic democracy, the economy only works for the rich. Who decides wages and pay? Executives. Who selects executives? Board members. Who elects board members? Rich shareholders. This is a system that benefits the wealthy at the expense of the rest.

Democracy in our economy is vital. 1️⃣

Can't believe we need to say this, but...the SNP are definitely not banning cats.

no

not sure what "this country" is referring to, but the fact that there exists legal loopholes doesn't mean that there shouldn't be laws on what corporations can do. it just means that those loopholes should be closed

you said "you can't tell a private company what to do"

you'd certainly be screwed over if there were no anti trust laws, labour laws, and health and safety laws. a significant portion of the government's job is to tell private companies what to do

will keep you safe, but since the image of an angel can become an angel itself, you'll be sacrificing all your viewers

aaaaaaaa

This letter in the New Statesman a couple of years ago seems even truer now.

Americans want to work for a company owned by its employees. 72% want to work for a company owned by employees, 19% owned by investors, and 9% owned by the state. The ESOP Association

Employee Ownership is popular. Workers prefer more secure employment, greater benefits and compensation, and a happier workplace. Who knew.

Think different in 2025:

Find and support businesses that are actually doing the right thing. Money talks—spend it where it matters.

need to go further than that. the only shareholders should be the workers themselves.

the best shareholders are those who know the work itself and the workers are the people who should be prioritised by business.

all managers elected by workers. should be mandatory!

no, the trick for the wm parties is to not openly declare contempt for devolution, but to undermine it gradually and secretly. outright closing holyrood would counter their narrative that they support devolution, and wake too many people up to the fact that the whole settlement is rubbish

Good morning from a cold frosty Scotland 🥶

Just your annoying reminder that Scotland didn't vote to leave the EU and was subjected to a campaign of lies that shaded the Brexit lies. Maybe folks had wised up a bit afterwards

All l want for Christmas is an Independent Scotland

1 SNP story, 3 labour stories, the rest aren't about domestic politics. the daily mail is far from scotland's most read newspaper, and its focus is not shared by the others. unionist bias to the core

daily mail: prison release
daily express: storm bert
scotsman: warships
daily record: bonfire night riots
herald: glasgow's hospital at home scheme
sun: monarchy bullshit
times: labour budget
daily telegraph: icc warrants
national: icc warrants
i: weight loss jabs
daily star: cost of the monarchy
