Just leaving this here. Make your own minds up.

Britain is *not* broke. That is a myth used to justify oppressive economic policy. Britain *is* being robbed by corporations and their lobbyists. The root problem is privatisation of national infrastructure and public services.

Starmer says he's cut bills. He means they're going up less than they might have. Playing with words - again. The SNPs John Swinney doesn't play with words when he says this about the benefits of regaining independence...

The Standing Charge has increased so much that even if you use no electricity at all you are now being charged as much you were for using 3kwh's per day in 2021. It is blatant theft.

The Standing Charge has tripled in two years. the reason is simple, people are using less electricity and gas. So they simply charge you whether you use it or not, and because they are supplying nothing their profits soar. The Standing Charge shouldn't exist.

Wow! Now over 37,000 signatures! 🙏 For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. It's time to hold them to account. You can support the campaign to change the law here👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

“Scottish” Labour think we’re zipped up the back! They promise the world but they are a shambles in Wales and a Misery in England - no thanks. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

With more Scottish households facing fuel poverty in a resource rich country, something needs to change | Charlie McCarthy @charliemac2204.bsky.social bylines.scot/society/scot...

Ofgem has raised the Standing Charge again today on October the 1st. Standing Charges are now triple what they were in 2021. You are being forced to pay the Energy Companies an extra £5bn a year. For NOTHING.

Salvo has submitted docs requesting that the UN recognises Scotland as a colony of England. Westminster refusing a democratic referendum seems a strong argument in favour of colony status, but how much influence does the UK have in the UN to fudge the issue? indyposterboy.scot/englands-col...

Almost all the economics taught, and which informs our politics, is completely wrong. youtu.be/dc1egz5Om90?... No wonder the world is in a mess when political decisions are based on this nonsense.

Why couldn't the Scottish Government save Grangemouth? Energy is reserved to Westminster. Why can't Scotland welcome more care workers from overseas? Immigration is reserved to Westminster. Why can't the Scottish Government tackle drug addiction better? Drug laws are reserved to Westminster.

Sadly, SNP seem to be ignoring that Independence is why people gave them their vote in the past. Now they seem to be shelving independence and ignoring other Indy parties stepping up to free Scotland.

When talking to a colonialist, most of the time you waste your time. They think very differently. The WM elite love them for their simple mindedness and gullibility.

Interesting. I bet it gets no MSM coverage.

Colonialists in Scotland who prefer the comforting lie to the reality that Scotland does not need this parasitic union:

So, for the naive and gullible they add Scottish to their name and the naive fall for it every time. Deception on a grand scale as parties from another country lie to the electorate to keep uppity Scots in their place!

Let’s be clear, ‘Scottish’ labour voted for the GRR bill, under whipping orders from Anas Sarwar ! 👇👇

How it all works! However, many are seeing through this state induced sleep by the rich/elite. Let's hope many more wake up.

Special sittings of the Commons to debate the nationalisation of an industry only happen when there's an upcoming English mayoral election where the industry is located & Starmer is afraid of losing it. Sorry Grangemouth, you're just not politically important to Labour. Try not being Scottish.

Well, they got this right. On my timeline a year ago today.

The equal union, where they tell us that we are not a colony and we should accept that. Eh..no, but the naive and gullible will accept it sadly!!

Starmer's New Tory party at Westminster screws Scotland over just like Sunak's Tory party. Wake up folks, we are a colony being stripped of everything of value to support our parasitic neighbour.

As the masses get poorer the rich are getting richer. The wealthy own the MSM and gaslight us and hope we fall for their lies.....that we all need to tighten our belts! Aye...because we have lost so much weight FFS. As you gain it!

Millions of Scots have been plunged into poverty. How can this be, when Scotland is one of the most energy rich countries in Europe? The answer: Because we have allowed our resources to be stolen by @GOVUK. Scots are suffering poverty because we are still chained to Westminster.

Starmer's New Tory party at Westminster brag about pay awards to those struggling. Yet those awards are well short of cost of living increases from labour. So they are actually celebrating creating more poverty for millions.😡

Hmmm?? 🤔 Soon Starmer's New Tory party at Westminster will have somebody ask to have it banned here too! 😡

The number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills. Norway - 0 UK - 0 France - 0 Spain - 0 Portugal - 0 Denmark - 0 Australia - 0 Iceland - 0 Italy - 0 Finland - 0 Ireland - 0 Germany - 0 Netherlands - 0 Sweden - 0 Japan - 0 Canada - 0 United States - 643k

This is hysterical. The Labour party in Glasgow are in chaos. Still, it's nice to know it's not just the public they take for granted and treat as fools. It's how they treat each other too.

So, it's now official:

✂️ Scotland's budget has been slashed, once again. 🟥 Cuts made in today's Spring statement at Westminster will have a devastating knock on effect on Scotland’s budget for 2026. 📣 Decisions about Scotland should be made in Scotland.

Today's budget is lets take from Disabled People to ruin millions of lives, so we can give a trivial and completely insignificant sum to Defence.

Fiscal rules are works of fiction. They are as made up as fairy tales are, and yet the Chancellor is asking us to believe that she should manage the economy by complying with them. Why is she so deeply misguided, whilst taking us for fools? youtu.be/aYl-x0Y5SJE?...

Things to remember!!

Facts in black and white'

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Maybe pass this onto whoever in BBC SCOTLAND is focusing on the Arran ferry having to be out of commission for one day. The reason for that is covered here ⬇️

I'm confused. Is it Elon Musk or Donald Trump?

So as it turns out, the Glen Sannox will have been out of service for only 24 hours. @heraldscotland.bsky.social and BBC Scotland must be heartbroken.

As a disabled person, it really makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know that Labour is cutting disability benefits due to Starmer's ideology. If he really wanted to get disabled people into work he'd introduce measures to incentivise employers to employ disabled staff.

Before you accept Starmer's New Tory party at Westminster lies about a poor SNHS, remember this:

My recent experience over the last few years across multiple NHS regions with some health issues with my mum - including operations and support post ops on returning home absolutely confirms how well they are doing - my mums local doctors surgery less so - I suspect they are swamped post Covid.

As Starmer's New Tory party at Westminster has its Scottish branch spraff on about our "50" NHS bodies wasting money. Learn the facts...we only have 14. Who function really well.

Some in the Cabinet are now very obviously leaking their disquiet with Starmer. The gauntlet is being thrown down, I think. It's deliver or go time for Starmer and Reeves. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

This is where the mega rich and powerful have their issues. They can't get enough wealth into their accounts. No matter how hard they trick, con, steal, divert, it is not enough. The poor in society worry about their next meal, bill, pay packet. Hell mend them!

Who is asking the big economic questions right now? youtu.be/2MRZbaVdvmM?... Economics is all about choices, but when most economic discussion is focused on almost irrelevant day-to-day minutiae and political tittle-tattle, who is there asking the questions that could really make a change right now?
