Increasingly combustible Scottish former youngster, Linlithgow to Dunfermline, desperate to find evidence the world doesn’t become more FU with age. Escape from Westminster insanity would be a good start.

Is Labour being outflanked by Polanski and Farage? Reeves budget debate
Is Labour being outflanked by Polanski and Farage? Reeves budget debate YouTube video by Channel 4 News

Debate today with a Labour MP on the economy.

Also with a former advisor to George Osborne.

Very striking how much Labour & the Tories agree on our economic system.

Time for change. Let's make hope normal again. Enjoy! πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ

The way this Govenrment are treating some of the most vulnerable people in the world is disgusting.

And they the audacity to pretend it's coming from a place of compassion and concern.

Their only actual concern seems to be dancing to the tune of the far right rather than tackle inequality.

'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

In 2024, UK’s big four banks HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, & National Westminster made Β£45.9bn profit.

Since 2021/22 profit margins up by 21%.

2022 -2024: Big four banks paid Β£124bn in dividends, Β£32bn in share buybacks.

They oppose possible tax increase, publish misleading tax numbers.

Tax them.

I love Scotland; its beauty, and because it's the land of my ancestors. And I used to sincerely believe that 'we' were better off together, in a United Kingdom.

Not any more! England has turned sour, and Westminster is now remote and incompetent.

Demand your freedom, Scotland. You deserve it!

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

So, Enlighten, the Jack McConnell thinks tank aka Reform Scotland gets it completely wrong again.
How surprising.
Jack was also famous for a Β£1.5billion underspend in the Scottish budget which was sent back to Westminster. All whilst championing PFI initiatives.
A rogue amongst a parcel of them.

Hopefully, a reflection of the fact Westminster is in such an abysmal state, therefore so is the β€œUnion”
Independence the only way out towards any kind of decent future for our country and away from the increasing madness gripping England

'A symbol of faith in the country': Inside the debate over a Scottish currency SCOTLAND having its own currency is essential if it wants to achieve independence, academics and experts have argued

Richard Murphy: Scottish currency is about showing faith in the country and its ability to govern itself.
Something he challenged the current SNP leadership to show more of.

SNP, lacks courage and belief, needs to face these challenges head on, not avoid them.

Whole cabinet is terrible, they need sacking. PM needs sacking. McSweeney needs sacking. They all do.
Fuck it, just vote Green, SNP, Plaid, Lib Dem, Scottish Green, whatever else is vaguely palatable. Forget these lying charlatans and diabolical losers.
Labour is a toxic brand now.
