SNP bad from the Tories ... Adding some context, Scotland has roughly 54K teachers. 600K lost days = about 11 lost days per teacher on average. Over 5 years, this is approx. 2 per annum. Doesn't sound as bad presented this way, eh? But don't let the truth get in the way of of a Tory lie, eh?

Dear UK this is the plan they have for destroying NHS Expelling/distressing the immigrants staffing the NHS should also be included You don't want privatised healthcare like the US where only the wealthy can see a doctor, or if you're in a job where they give you health insurance #NHS #Scotland

So, a man with principles was laughed at for having principles? Tells you all you need to know about the psychopathic shower of shit that governs us.

Four senior former British Army officers urged Keir Starmer to impose a full arms embargo on Israel, citing Gaza violations and warning against “business as usual.” They also oppose UK military ties as a £2bn training deal with Elbit Systems is considered.

Labour lost control of Scotland a decade and a half ago and no-one expects Starmer to be the leader who restores Scotland’s faith in the party, writes Paul Kavanagh ✍️ Read here: www.thenational.scot/politi...

Two of these five are UK citizens. Have we seen any statement from the UK Government?

Ask yourself why Malcolm Offord, a millionaire Westminster Lord, life peer and ex‑Tory MP, who built his fortune in finance and private equity, would want to become an MSP in Holyrood for Reform UK. Hint: it’s not about the needs and values of the people of Scotland. Keep him out of Scotland.

Remember Starmer's "urgent" review into foreign interference after Nathan Gill? Well, there's already two ex-UK ambassadors working in Westminster on behalf of a pro-Russian foreign government whose de facto leader is under UK sanctions... New on D4S: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/ex-uk-amba...

So much of what Polanski says translates directly to Scotland's progressive parties, like 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗡𝗣 and 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀. Real change is coming. Independence is inevitable. And with it a 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘳, 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 country. But until independence comes, we must protect the progress we've made 💛 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺

Important information, look at all the huge taxes(oil and gas revenues must be massive) not allocated to Scotland in GERS:-

This is Malcolm Offord. Millionaire, Westminster Lord and Life Peer. Ex Tory and now Reform UK candidate for Holyrood's election as an MSP. It’s a very short but eye opening read. 👇

Your reminder that some anti-oil people *discussing* blocking a motorway in protest were imprisoned, whilst farmers *actually* blocked streets with tractors and not a single one was even charged.

Direct action works which is why Starmer's Labour now funded by millionaires has reacted with a swift & draconian response

Just look south to see how Reform behaves if it gets power.

Steve's bar tab has grown 'substantially' in 2025.
