How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
So, not been a very successful strategy, Mr Starmer. Predictions from Electoral Calculus this month.
Back in 1979 Labour said this about the dire results were Devolution to go ahead. After some electoral shenanigans, it took another 20yrs. I am disappointed that devolution hasn’t been the end of the BBC. Interesting slogan isn’t it: Vote for the UK, Vote No. Labour has come full circle, I think.
Water
Scotland has publicly owned water.
£0 debt
£0 dividends
Very satisfied customers
England privatised water and now has:-
£60 billion debt
£85 billion dividends
And a very unsatisfactory service.
Vote indy to keep it that way.

where are all the blue tents Media cameras police with the tea bags and
garden shears 👇
Wow, this speech from Mayor of NY Zohran Mamdani 👏💯
"I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her moments later were: I'm not mad at you"
"I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger"
"Let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion"
Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.
Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.
Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.
We know why.

That £240m contract Palantir won after Peter Mandelson took Keir Starmer to visit them? Government asserts "there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently" but the award notice says it was a "directed award", ie without any competition.
The problem with so many of our top politicians - from Johnson, Mandelson, Farage - is that they all want to join the oligarch class. Whatever you think of Gordon Brown he is financially unbiddable www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Gordon MacDonald nails Sarwar for pochling Scottish NHS figures and misleading Parliament. Not a cheep from either BBC in Scotland or STV of course.👇

What are we waiting for?
No Royals.
No House of Lords.
No more theft of Scotland's resources.

Pres Claudia Sheinbaum invokes the UN Charter against Trump’s Venezuela invasion. Mexico’s message: No nation is safe if international law is ignored. I love her..
On top of his MPs salary of £91,346, Farage is also raking in £571,585 from outside jobs, in less than six months.
Don’t just like it, share it.

Been listening to this. Excellent even though it is a Spectator podcast. First half: current patterns in UK politics and why; second half, current support in devolved the parliament polling. Interview technique? Just let Sir John talk uninterrupted 😂 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...
You dinnae EVER come for oor bairns. EVER
Me too. Not even to watch Scotland win the World Cup would I go to US these days.
They might not be perfect, But it beats the fuck out of me that so many in Scotland prefer Westminster parties than the SNP.
Westminster has had 300 years to get it right for us & they still make an arse of it & themselves. Mired in corruption, sleaze & sex scandals.
Surely we could do better?
Scotland's Culture and External Affairs Secretary has led calls for the BBC to issue a correction and apologise after a glaring Question Time error was broadcast from Paisley
BBC Scotland output errors detrimental to the SNP
They don't apologise or correct errors and if they do the time-lapse nullifies the point of the correction/apology.
Why? because they're not errors, poor journalism, ineptness. It is editorial direction to manipulate public opinion.

TRAILER: This week’s podcast where Isobel Lindsay and Bill Ramsay come into the studio to help us unpack the deeper message behind Deputy PM David Lammy's extraordinary claim that the Scottish Government is a "national security threat”. And anyway, what nation was he talking about?
IndyPodcasters pay tribute to the late Elspeth King, one of Scotland’s most influential curators and historians. Exploring the absence of Scottish history in the national curriculum, the power of history in shaping identity, and in understanding who we are. scottishindypod.scot/scottish-his...
Rare glimpse of the dogs too. I don’t mind coos, or woodwork, but much prefer live collies.
I love this; it’s genius 👇
It's like he thinks the SNP are some race of non-Scottish interlopers who have sneaked into Scotland while the rest of us weren't looking. SNP are Scots, Scots voted them into government. #Lammy might be 5% Scots but the other 95% is pure idiot
