If England decided it wanted to vote on becoming independent, do you think it would have to ask Scotlandโ€™s permission first?

Governments are elected to represent the people. Not private equity companies. Not hedge funds. Not foreign sovereign wealth funds and the dictatorships controlling them. But somehow that memo went down the back of Labour's sofa.

Leading health think tank praises new framework for population health co-created by Scottish Government and COSLA โ€“ โ€˜this is a major step forwardโ€™ โ€“ย  โ€˜Despite the now released Fit for the future: 10 Year Health Plan, England has nothing equivalentโ€™ โ€“ โ€˜England would do well to draw โ€ฆ

This is a major confirmation, from a high status independent source, but ignored by Scottish media, of what the SNP is achieving in government - share very widely including with your MP and MSP

So Keir Starmer has the right to ignore 54% of Scots by winning an election. But no election result in Scotparl will ever produce a mandate for Indy or #indyref. Obvs he doesnโ€™t care what we think. But vip for Yessers to restate our committment. www.thenational.scot/news/2521260...

The 10 most deprived areas in the UK have 9 in England and one in NI. Glasgow the first Scottish area ranks as 26th. Prior to the SNP govt Scottish areas were in that top 10. You might be scunnered because weโ€™re not independent (understandable) but how much worse off would we be without the SNP

Petition: Require candidates for MP to be registered to vote and residents of the UK Currently, a candidate for MP is not required to be registered to vote or be resident in the UK. We ask the Government to require candidates for MP be registered to vote and residents of the UK.

Why should UK MPs be registered to vote & be resident in the UK?

Voting is a basic civic duty. If MPs aren't even registered to vote they can't fully engage with the democratic process & can't represent the public who elected them.

Please sign & share.

Donโ€™t stop at Scunthorpe steel โ€” nationalise water, mail, all of rail and energy.

Bring them all into public ownership.

The well-being of citizens is of utmost importance in a true democracy. Every policy & alliance should serve this purpose.

When a Gov consistently prioritises the interests of a few over the majority, it ceases to be a democracy.

If not a Gov by & for the people, it is an oligarchy in disguise.

Scottish independence isnโ€™t anti-English, itโ€™s pro-democracy.

I believe all four nations deserve to shape their own futures as equals, not as colonies.

That includes Scotlandโ€™s independence and Irelandโ€™s reunification.

Neighbours.
Not subjects of the union.

One of the problems is that many folk are not aware of any of the positive stuff that the Scottish government actually do.

To repeat: the Trump administration peace deal was always a deal for peace between Russia and the US, not Russia and Ukraine. In it, it seems, the US gets Ukraine's resources, Russia gets Ukraine's land, and Ukraine gets to say thank you.

True leadership means respect for partners and allies. Even for the smaller and weaker ones. Never arrogance. Dear friends, think about it.

UK Government set to unveil 'catastrophic' ยฃ6bn in benefits cuts The UK Government is set to unveil more than ยฃ6 billion in cuts to the welfare budget which will mean those unable to work will lose money.

The plans include making it 'harder to qualify' for PIP. Do these clowns have any idea of how hard it is to get PIP? I have significant and obvious physical disabilities & very restricted mobility but on my 1st application I was told I have no mobility needs.
