🚨 SCOOP: Toyota and Aston Martin secretly lobbied a Conservative cabinet minister to weaken Britain’s climate policy. We only know this because Democracy for Sale won a two-year legal fight to force the government to hand over the documents. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/victory-we...

What is the point of democratic elections if #lobbyists have the power and cash to influence ministers behind the scenes?

Shame on you #Toyota, shame on you!

Despite the best efforts of Sarwar, Cole Hamilton and Findlay to undermine and discredit them at every turn...

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Looking forward to this wee series - will take inequality graphs over advent calendars any day!

Forest Bathing session arranged by Stirling Heritage Trust on Sunday - lovely to be out in the woods in the low Autumn sunlight. Hardest part was S-L-O-W-I-N-G D-O-W-N.

In spite of promising to bring down council tax, Reform-run councils in Lancashire are now talking about increases.

I really hate that phrase "the British public want..." There is NO SUCH THING as one homogenous body of people who all think the same thing. And a government elected on 33% of the vote on a manifesto they have largely abandoned have NO right to speak for anyone else. #labourlies

Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund stands at a whopping $2 Trillion because they invested in their future. We could’ve been in a similar position, but UK Govs squandered our oil wealth. Westminster never works for Scotland, it’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Signed

Scotland’s unemployment is falling 📉 while the UK rate rises under Labour 📈 — a clear sign of the difference the SNP is making and that Labour at Westminster isn’t working. Independence is the fresh start Scotland needs for more and better jobs. @thesnpmedia.bsky.social

If the price of providing free bus transport to everyone who needs it whilst protecting our planet by reducing car journies is that a few rich people also take advantage of it, that is a price worth paying.

Popcorn sales in Scotland are going to go through the roof..... #bbcbias

What this article doesn't point out - because it's not news - is the fact that our Scottish Government is at no point consulted or informed about British budget planning. It finds out when we do. And then has little time to re-plan its own budget to fit. Here's how it works...

Another reminder of what we have lost

Imagine this clusterf*** magnified up to Westminster level!!

Great idea!

Surprised Johnson's name hadn't come up (yet) he seemed to be involved in every other sordid scandal

We should try this in Scotland

Biggest beneficiary of donations from private health firms: Labour health secretary Wes Streeting. This is a scandal. Not only does evidence show that NHS prioritisation is more expensive and has worse outcomes for patients but UK voters have never given permission to privatise their NHS.
