Trump surrendered to Iran. The agreement will give Iran billions of dollars to their dictators and get we nothing in return. Iran can continue to enrich uranium. Trump also agreed not to help the Iranian people, no regime change. #DemsUnited #wtpBLUE

How far we've fallen.

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow. This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland. I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
