One of the most difficult questions in politics right now is why Labour will not increase taxes on the wealthy. They could, and they should. youtu.be/a62d-hA5cCE?...

Today was the opportunity to analyse the impact of Labour's welfare cuts and the response from Labour MSPs. BBC Wales carried out its duty as a public service broadcaster. BBC Scotland decided to protect and assist Labour's Anas Sarwar with yet more boilerplate NHSBad. (MSM Monitor)

Dear Yvette Cooper Are the Quakers on a list of proscribed groups Do you think people whose whole ethos is peace-making are terrorists Has you been told by Labour's arms manufacturing lobbyist funders that peace-makers are a major threat to "security" (ie profits) and need to be stopped?????

Every English BBC region had lengthy segments dedicated to Labour's welfare cuts on their Sunday Politics show as did BBC Wales. The odd one out was BBC Scotland. Here is every intro from every English programme. Any explanation Martin Geissler? Are you proud of this? (MSM Monitor)

We’ve made sure adults of any age who need personal or nursing care will receive it - free of charge. And our Carer’s Allowance Supplement puts extra money in the pockets of thousands of carers.

Scotland’s delivering more homes per head than anywhere else in the UK. Since 2007, we’ve delivered 136,705 affordable homes - 97,099 for councils and housing associations. We’re focused on what matters to you: secure homes, strong communities, and a fairer Scotland.

Campaigners joined @johnswinney.bsky.social today, taking our message to Kilmarnock North ahead of Thursday’s by-election. Our NHS is precious – and we’re committed to improving access - ensuring a thriving health service, publicly owned and free at the point of use. #VoteSNP #ActiveSNP

NEW: A fire engine donated to Palestine by Scottish firefighters has been impounded by Israel for over six months 🚒 The fire engine is stocked with lifesaving equipment including firefighting kit and PPE, breathing apparatus and medical supplies

Only two of the most popular 20 radio stations in Scotland are owned in Scotland. All the others are controlled from outside Scotland. How can this be healthy? Broadcasting should be devolved. public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

Between 400 000 and 600 000 more patients in Scotland find it ‘easy’ or ‘very easy’ to access a GP than they would if they lived in England or Wales talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/17/b...

We will do alright. #independence #Scotland #YES

It's not like elections where it's easy to decide who to vote for. I am struggling, every one of these decisions by the Labour Government had a horrendous impact on people who can least afford it and least deserve it.

A New Direction for Labour - debate on Scottish budget focusing on child poverty and only FOUR Labour MSP's. It would appear the subject is of no importance to Labour in Scotland!

Former Labour MSP Neil Findlay hit out at Labour’s lack of direction under Sarwar’s stewardship as he said the party has “no plans” and “no strategies”. uk.news.yahoo.com/former-labou...

A point which needs to be hammered home loud and clear. Labour are doing nothing for Scotland!

@scottishlabour.bsky.social where were you all? I would like to ask my MP for West Dunbartonshire, @douglasmcallister.bsky.social why he wasn’t representing us.

A DEADLY trench filled with more than a million tonnes of chemical weapons is still not being routinely inspected with hundreds of lethal devices washing up on Scotland’s shores. scientists advised the Ministry Defence to carry out a inspection survey a decade ago.. it has not been checked since

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 37,805 Scottish students accepted to Scottish Universities this year - the highest number on record! 👏🏻 There has also been an 11% increase in acceptances from Scotland’s most deprived areas. 🥀 Unlike Labour, the SNP will always fight to keep tuition fees free in Scotland.

So, let me get this straight. The UK government is going to use the banks, which crashed the world economy in 2008 and then used the bailouts £billions to pay themselves enormous bonuses, to vet UK economic policy? I’m sure that will work out very well 😳 news.sky.com/story/banker...

Shock as Scotland trains 3 to 4 times as many nurses! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/10/28/s...

Huge pressure on affordable housing across the UK, including here in Scotland. There has also been pressures on capital budgets. Therefore this SNP budget announcement is incredibly welcome.

The SNP sent a message to Keir Starmer yesterday. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/12... The SNP’s Scottish budget, delivered yesterday, was big on one issue. That was, it cared about people in need. Starmer has no story. His message is the opposite of the SNP’s. He does not care.
