Delighted to see the vindication of Scotland's position here - not just ScotGov, the policy was approved by Parliament as a whole. It was deliberately wrecked by bully tactics of a right wing UK govt that was willing to sacrifice our environment, our economy and people's jobs, for petty politics.

I agree with Jez entirely, I worked in social care and getting/retaining staff is near impossible the way things are. We should be welcoming overseas workers with open arms. This UK govt is making it harder to care for our relatives for the sake of a spreadsheet. Shameful

So where does this funding come from? It's certainly not the Scottish people. Which begs the question -what do these mystery donors want for this backing? I can't turn on a screen without seeing Sarwar (or Farage) but I've yet to see a policy, it's just empty slogans www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform are driving hate and division in our communities. We can't allow that to happen. Life has become much harder for many folks across Scotland. But the scapegoating and false promises from a millionaire-backed party will change nothing for the better.

Disabled people are not expendable. The elderly are not expendable. Children are not expendable. Worth should never be tied to economic productivity. If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.

If you follow this argument through to its logical conclusion there should be a UK Government channel on pornhub.

Spineless Starmer blasted by his own MPs over failure to condemn US attack on Venezuela Vote Labour out of power everywhere you get the chance this May. Vote Green, vote SNP, vote Plaid or vote Sinn Fein instead. Just never, ever vote Labour again. www.thenational.scot/news/2573941...

To all those saying "but if our government spoke out, there might be consequences", please remember that not speaking out also has consequences. The history of appeasement is not a reassuring one.

The Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Daily Red Coat will print anything Labour wants them too and to push you away from the SNP. Also remember the vow headline. Don’t believe what they print in 2026. Its will be more rubbish. #truth #endtheunion #independence #snp #labourout #vote

The Zionist lobby is insisting the UK government exhaust all possible avenues against Kneecap, at any cost. Kneecap are a music group, of young people who just want genocide to stop. You can agree or disagree with them, but this criminalisation and demonisation has f them must stop.

A toxic White House is trying to export its toxic policies to our country. Under no circumstances should Scotland be subjected to chlorine-washed poultry or hormone-treated beef.

Same applies to farmed salmon. Fed pellets made of god knows what and destined to swim around in a cage for its short life, whilst absolutely decimating local wild stocks and environment. Not to mention the all too frequent escapes with thousands entering our fragile west coast rivers.

Scots voters will actively work against their own interests in 2026, buoyed on a tide of sectarianism,victimhood, mainstream media racism and its perpetual punching down, anemoia, spite and witless idolatry of the 1% who despise them.

They could all use a good war just now given the polling numbers. Gut the universities , gut welfare for young people, limit their opportunities for employment, make them join the army, let them die in whatever needless war has been construed for political purposes. Fascism

My dad has dementia, all he has left is a few memories here and there. I cannot imagine wanting to replace those precious parts of him that are left with something fake. Abhorrent stuff here, genuinely sickening

It really pisses me off when all the MSM talk about the SNP record like it's an abomination It's far fucking better than any other region in the UK, and that's despite being in a boxing ring with one hand tied behind our back against whoever is in charge at Westmonster

Happy Christmas! slightly inebriated (I don't drink much 😛), always enjoy an outing for the Christmas jumper . Onwards in 26 for independence with any luck 🤞 for now enjoy yerselves 🍺🍻

Merry Christmas to my fellow radical left scum🌲🎅🏻🎄❤️

Feels like the 1930s all over. The US should be treated as a threat to world security pronto. Sometimes I think as a species we don't really deserve to survive 🤷 Europe should release the Epstein files

Well, happy anniversary to one of the finest of festive exchanges

No lies told here

We've done some boxing by mistake

Scotland must always remain a welcoming country for migrants and refugees. It's not illegal to seek asylum and refuge here, no matter the circumstances.

Westminster bubble in action. So detached from the reality of most of our lives. There are food banks in one of the most energy rich countries on the planet, that's the legacy of decisions made in London. The media are a disgrace

The biggest threat to the UK currently is the good ol' USA and by proxy Russia and Israel. This "probe" is smoke n mirrors as usual from Westminster.

This year, Newcastle United's owner had people put to death at a rate of nearly one-a-day.

When the "public" is specially selected focus groups and not actual normal folks like you and me, he has a point . Ever detached from reality is oor Keef.

Staged!!

Starmer and his cohorts have been shouting from the rooftops about the US "trade deal". We've had absolutely no details about it, it's just another empty slogan that goes unquestioned by the media. (Trump is a peadophile which shoulda been the reddest of lines anyway)

A better question might have been whether the current Home Secretary is.

Labour of course are in government and could legislate for this to protect themselves (and us). But I won't hold my breath. In Scotland we're used to misinformation, every time I open YouTube Sarwar pops up spouting lies about his own country, funded by UK Labour

Here's some numbers Rory might not want to discuss.

Gary Robertson asks on the Sunday Show if Sandie Peggy was "exonerated" . The BBC are absolutely shameless and need to be called out by ScotGov in a robust fashion, regularly.

Absolutely this, Sarwar is a master of the three word slogan in Scotland. Ask him about policies and he collapses. Vote for folk with substance who actually represent something then we might get somewhere

Colour me shocked. Two tier society the UK (wasn't that a right wing trope not so long ago?) Scotland desperately needs independence, imagine the billions we could save just on the royals.

i can't believe coffee exists. a delicious morning beverage that gives you endorphins and makes you poop. a total reset for body and brain. it's proof that God is real.

Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire. Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.

MP pay certainly kept up

Absolutely this, the media are acting like this is normal .

I heard on the radio murmurings of "dynamic pricing" coming to UK supermarkets. Nothing surprises me any more, it's a big part of the reason the UK govt wants us all digitised as much as possible, so they can microcharge the poor out of existence

Judge Kerr said he accepted that this was not a terrorist case but that the pipe bombs had been left to "cause fear and distress and in order to achieve a sectarian aim of stopping the GAA using public pitches". Pipe bombs not terrorism, holding signs in support of Palestine Action however, is.

Trump is selling out Ukraine whilst Starmer crows on about the marvellous US "trade deal" he's done. How that rat can look Zelenskyy in the eye is beyond me. The US is a threat to world security, alarm bells should be going off, but instead we get a Neville Chamberlain tribute act

Any guesses where the power comes from and goes to whilst Scotland pays amongst the highest power bills in Europe? Another great swindle, how on earth does this benefit Scotland in any way?

What in the ever living fuck is this? It's terrifying the brainwashing that's taken place of the UK government. They ask us to reject our own eyes as we watch a genocide unfold. Sickening

It's a toffs club most of us aren't part of. They wear different colour rosettes but they're all the same people.

"I've never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government" Well I fucking have,they decimated Scotland, imposed needless suffering and hundreds of thousands of excess death through austerity, used a worldwide pandemic to enrich themselves, pulled Scotland out of EU..... 😡
