For information this was the output from the compaint sent to all MSP's a few weeks ago. You can zoom in on the stats

Interestingly, Jackie Baillie was triggered first thing on the 'Sack Starmer' Monday morning and lashed out bigly 😂 proving that this had the desired effect

Sunday Times splashing today with story about Labour Together paying for a smear campaign against journalists investigating its undeclared funding

Scotland doesn't need nuclear energy to provide its ppl with electricity
We have more than enough when some days wind power provides enough to power all of Scotland
The nuclear option only benefits England
They get power
We get cancer!

You will have noticed over the last few weeks I've been posting new content in the form of either surveys or complaints to various public bodies and MSP's. These are being generated on our new Meidas Scotland Portal which is powered by a purpose built professional tool called iParl.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Reform UK’s Jenrick is busy blaming Nottinghamshire Council for crumbling roads and chaos - conveniently ignoring that Reform UK runs the council. What a jenprick.

The Guardian view on the BBC World Service: this is London calling | Editorial Editorial: With just seven weeks before its funding runs out, the UK’s greatest cultural asset and most trusted international news organisation must be supported

Is Labour about to preside over the significant decline of the BBC's World Service? I hope not.

The only part of the BBC free of English establishment bias and the Westminster bubble, it's still a joy to listen to, with some great original programming.

The BBC just ran a report from Norway about electric ferries being fantastic👍

Obviously flew over the multiple CalMac electric ferries to get to Norway to film that!

It would just kill them to say anything positive about CalMac

Ferries!

Cooper: "The real focus should be on Epsteins victims"

You, Starmer, McSweeney, you all knew about Epsteins victims when Mandelson was appointed. Why weren't any of you focussing on the victims then? We know why. Because you don't actually care about the victims at all.

There's a certain predictability about Westminster diversionary tactics when British governments don't want to talk about what they will (or won't) do to remedy a situation.

"Focus on the victims" this time.

Your BMI can't tell you much about your health – here's what can People classed as “overweight” according to BMI can be perfectly healthy. But there are better measures of fat, and physicians are finally using them

Interesting... "men often carry visceral fat in the middle, in and around organs, which is more harmful than the subcutaneous fat on the arms, bottom and thighs that women are more likely to have"

BMI is not a useful measure.

The Lesson Jim Ratcliffe Could Learn From My Immigrant Father-in-Law The billionaire Manchester United owning tax exile says Britain has been "colonised" by immigrants but he could learn much from the hard working migrants who have made their lives in this country, argues Sangita Myska

'Unfortunately, Sir Jim’s extreme wealth appears to have hermetically sealed him from reality. Once considered a working class hero, Ratcliffe can no longer plausibly describe himself in these terms.'

Has no one told the Daily Telegraph that New Labour & Blair's Britain died in 2010? Somehow the y have conveniently forgotten abt Ed Miliband & Jeremy Corbyn's periods as Lab leader & Cameron & Osborne's brutal austerity.

If you discovered that a British politician took money from the Russian government or any part of the Kremlin’s vast propaganda machine, would that politician ever be fit to hold any public office in the UK? (Just wondering…)

Less than 15% of MPs received more than 50% of the vote when elected. If we could rank candidates by order of preference it would ensure the person elected had the broadest support in their constituency.

This is a big story:
"Labour activists paid for smear campaign against journalists: Group that helped make Starmer leader hired lobbyists who falsely suggested reporters were linked to Russia": Sunday Times front page on Labour Together, previously headed by Morgan McSweeney.

Ghislaine Maxwell Appears to Have Lied on Her Citizenship Application — The New Republic The revelation could put her citizenship status at risk.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.
She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.
