I am faaaaaaar from the SNP's biggest fan, but anyone in Scotland looking at the huge, racist march in London today & not planning to vote SNP in 2026 needs to take a good hard look at where the UK is going. Tories, Labour & Reform are all right-wing parties chasing each other to the hard right. 😳😳

The questions about St George's and union jack flags lining English streets With St George's and union jack flags appearing on many lampposts, we visit the epicentre of the phenomenon to find out why.

If this shit was happening in Scotland and we plastered Saltires everywhere, we would be called, now what was it Sunak called us, oh thats right, SNP Scottish Nationalist Extremists. But this is Engerland, and its "patriotism"

Douglas Alexander on #BBCSundayShow offers no way out of the 'voluntary union.' Asked by Martin Geissler he first said Swinney wasn't asking for #indyref2, then that we voted already in 2014. Scotland - you'll have had your democracy.

Majority of Brits think Brexit has been a failure

"A new YouGov poll indicates that 61 per cent of Britons now consider the UK's departure from the European Union to have been a failure"

It'll go higher.

So let me get this right: the British Government wants to raise taxes and spend more on "defence" so it can send fighter jets to defend genocidal Middle Eastern governments when they preemptively attack their neighbours, and those neighbours retaliate?

Scotland's Place in Europe Scotland's Place in Europe sets out the Scottish Government's position following the result of the EU Referendum.

In 2016 ScotGov prepared a much-respected 'Scotland's Place in Europe' doc, proposing a solution for Scotland remaining in the EU whilst rUk left. Westminster dismissed it immediately. Now that both NI & Gibraltar have special EU deals that proposal *must* be revisited. www.gov.scot/publications...

Child poverty has fallen in Scotland - whilst rising sharply in the UK.

Absolute child poverty in Scotland fell from 23% to 17% - the lowest figure in 30 years.

SNP Scottish Government policies are working to deliver on our top priority of eradicating child poverty.

Keir Starmer to unveil drastic disability benefit cuts despite opposition Changes could deny benefits to people who need help to wash or to remember to go to the toilet

I loathed Thatcher, but even she didn't force people to shit & piss themselves in order to avoid taxing the rich.

"The measures could deny benefits for people who need some help washing themselves, preparing food or remembering to go to the toilet..."

Imagine deciding to force disabled people to sit in their own shit cos you don't want to increase taxes on the super-rich & calling yourself the Labour Party. I'd say shame on Starmer & the Labour MPs who enable him, but those soulless goons have no shame.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

Labour: "We're delivering things the Tories said they would, but didn't deliver. That's why people are saying, what's the point of the Conservative Party?"
