A Scottish charity has sent the UK Home Secretary a 'special delivery' in response to a week of several 'hostile' asylum system policy changes 👇

Are you a tax dodging billionaire who needs someone in the UK to represent your interests?

Then look no further than Reform.

Just show us the money and we’ll fight to ensure you won’t pay a penny of tax.

After all, tax is for little people.

Suckers!

An #SNP1SGP2 vote in May could be a triple whammy. It has the potential to . . .
1) Maximise pro-Indy seats
2) Reduce Unionist MSPs
3) Prevent Reform winning enough seats to be the official opposition.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

The US have finally admitted it was 'likely' them who blew up the school and killed up to 180 children in Iran.

They knew as soon as it happened, but they have lied for 5 days.
