Under Holyrood’s system, SNP list votes are often wasted once constituencies are won.

That hands seats to unionist parties and weakens the pro-independence majority.

Independence needs cooperation not one-party dominance.

Independence support can’t be taken for granted.

This small school district kept losing students to ICE. So it mobilized. Outside of Minneapolis, the five schools in Columbia Heights have taken an aggressive approach to protecting the immigrant families of their students.

The impact of ICE operations saturated every aspect of the day in the schools outside of Minneapolis. Dozens of parents were in custody. Hundreds more had decided school was too risky and enrolled their children in online classes.

VAT-registered brewers in the UK must charge 20% VAT on their beer to customers, in addition to paying separate Alcohol Duty to HMRC...

Eh? WTF?

Some Breweries may benefit from relief, but all VAT-registered brewers must pay VAT AND duty, ALL to Westminster.

We REALLY need Scottish Independence.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

This is so embarrassing.

ICE may have lost the battle for public opinion, and its operation may be hampered by local pushback, but it has succeeded in one respect: It has instilled terror in Minnesota’s immigrant communities, forcing them into the shadows.

According to Argentinisn friends, life is very, very hard for ordinary Argentinians under Milei. UK should heed it well - Farage would impose the same on the country.

This is what the far right calls β€˜freedom’! 12-hour work days, no severance pay, punished for striking.
Milei is a monster, and guess who wants to meet him, and talk tactics?
Yup, Fascist Farage has praised Milei, reportedly describing his politics as β€œThatcherism on steroids”!

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

Lesley Riddoch: Two Labour tribes go to war but who stands to benefit TWO Tribes have gone to war. That 1980s hit has been rumbling through my heid since Anas Sarwar launched his broadsword against erstwhile colleague…

Despite its freshly polished nameplate Scottish Labour is still a branch office. Maybe different if Sarwar had completed his Starmer attack & announced a new Scottish party that dares to back indy/indyref2. But two tribes have gone to war & there are no winners
