MI6 insiders slam Palestine Action ban as 'distraction' from real counter-terrorism
It seems everyone with any expertise on terrorism, including MI6, was against the Palestine Action ban - yet Labour proceeded anyway

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".
No, me neither.

Now can you see why The SNP prioritises child poverty so highly?
Dealing with it is a key part of delivering a Wellbeing Economy that applies growth to supporting people and the planet, not exploiting them.
But they're constantly held back by Westminster. We need independence and all the powers.

Largely, the anti-Scottish independence strategy seems to be based upon hiding from Scots how prosperous and energy and resources rich Scotland would actually be.

NHS increased use of the private sector under Labour govt.
Private sector delivered 22.1% of ophthalmic, 20.5% of orthopaedic procedures.
Numbers of NHS patients treated by private sector up by 10%.
With profit margins of up to 40% money buys less.
More efficient to expand NHS capacity.
We were dragged out of the EU because of their tax avoidance policys, and now?
Keir Starmerβs Government is facing criticism over its opposition to a United Nations tax reform plan aimed at tackling global tax avoidance, as formal negotiations resumed on Monday in New York.
I sometimes miss the district heating system in Gothenburg.
Homes, businesses, offices - all are cosy-warm in the winter. The city's garbage is burnt to heat water, which is sent out in underground culverts to buildings across the city.
This is done in a huge plant with extensive filtration.

Isn't it odd* how unionists still insist that the throwaway comment 'once in a generation opportunity' was some king of contract that must be abided by, but BetterTogether's Vow and actual promise of a federal UK within 2 years can be ignored.
* By odd I of course mean predictable and dishonest.

ποΈ The Scottish Government are delivering more homes per head than anywhere else in the UK.

Reeves was elected to represent her constituents, in government she should be focused on serving the people of the UK. In declaring she will "always be a friend of Israel" she ignores the views of the majority in UK who condemn the actions of Israel in Gaza.

Today, energy bills increase again across the UK.
Labour said theyβd fix this - but on their watch, our energy bills are going up.
With independence, we can use our energy wealth to benefit people and bring bills down. Thatβs the fresh start Scotland needs. π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
The Standing Charge has increased so much that even if you use no electricity at all you are now being charged as much you were for using 3kwh's per day in 2021.
It is blatant theft.
It's her own fault, I have zero sympathy for Michelle Mone, but she's in the headlines now because she's always chased the headlines.
However, she is the tip of the VIP lane iceberg, most of them connected to the Tory Party. Utter corruption.
Read these 8 pages from The Decade In Tory

The SNP have called for Michelle Mone to be removed from the House of Lords after a PPE firm linked to the Tory peer was ordered to repay the UK Government almost Β£122 million
If the union is so strong why deny democracy?
