What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".

They may dispute the specific number. But with 4000 people on the waiting list and fewer than 50 first appointments a year, it hardly matters if we project 80 years, 224, or anything in between.
Unless there is dramatic change, people are just not getting the service they need. It's unacceptable.

In 2022 we delivered free bus travel for under 22s. It's reduced climate emissions and congestion, and increased mobility and the money in people's pockets.

Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.
The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.

The Scotsman. MSPs to vote on cutting 'unpayable' council tax debt to end 'cycles of poverty'
In the rest of the UK council tax debt is written off after 6 years. In Scotland it's 20 years or longer.
Fear of bailiffs means people don't go to councils for the help they need, locking them in a cycle of poverty.
Today the Scottish Parliament can vote for our amendment to change that.

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
