Farage is a snake oil salesman.Always will be. He’s harnessed money, influence and his fag ash act seems to play well. His only achievement has been the economic disaster of Brexit.

Whenever I read yet another story about the Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa it astonishes me that the fact that we now know the SNP rigged the procurement for political purposes and faked a launch for political purposes hasn't disqualified them from government for a generation. It's pure corruption.

What do you think folks? Should the police in Scotland have access to guns when citizens are confronted by people brandishing knives?

Europe and the UK should come closer together – on security, on economy or on defending our democracies. Ten years on from Brexit, our futures are as bound as ever. So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership.

Improving the lives of the poorest good. Improving the NHS and driving economic growth good. Raising the minimum wage good. GB energy good. Yet Sarwar has blown his chance to be the next FM.Why? Asking for help to understand.

Prime Ministers are elected by the people. And they should be removed by the people - unless there has been criminal activity or serious misconduct. We can’t spiral into this constant calling for heads to roll. And so, I disagree with Sarwar. But Good luck for the Holyrood elex.

I think the bots on X and on here are skewing the outcome of elections. In Scotland consider this: snp failure or a new more committed FM? Vote Scottish Labour. Sarwar for Scotland.

Farage doesn’t give a crap about you. And he has no policies to improve the lives of working people, nor improve our public services. The UK is better without snake oil salesmen. He plays on division. As does the SNP. Vote for Sarwar to be FM of Scotland. We can stop both .

Norway is such a beautiful country. But if it improved its transport infrastructure, it could maximise its winter tourism. Fagernes airport was closed cutting off a quick journey to Beitostølen. Now 3 hour 30 travel by road to Oslo.

Hi folks. My message to voters is this: why vote for a lot of rich former Tory mps who joined reform ? These people were rejected by people around the UK because they failed to make us stronger, improve the NHS and make our lives better. Don’t let Farage blind you with more lies.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent ÂŁ700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

Trump’s comments about British troops who did military service in Afghanistan are inaccurate, disrespectful and deeply hurtful to families that lost loved ones in the conflict. NATO did its bit in supporting the US when it asked for help.

Lots of theories about Trump’s aim to own Greenland.What do you believe? he thinks it’s a security threat.What proof has he produced about possible invasions by Russia or China? He also says the US has the greatest military in the world. So he could deal with it, right?why alienate allies? Anyone?
