The US has coerced the UK gov to spend this money or face tariffs on medicines.

Callum Cox #1 for Whitburn on 11th December!

This is awful, we hope she is ok. Our community has long been fighting for safer streets in this area. There are new zebra crossings planned for early next year... They can't come soon enough!

Great turnout for Callum Cox for West Lothian in Whitburn today. By-election December 11th. Fantastic response for a fantastic candidate.

Reeves has ruled out a Scottish independence vote - ever. There starts to be an international law case for secession from the UK if democracy is constantly denied Scotland &UK policies repeatedly diminish Scotland’s wellbeing, for instance in closing Grangemouth refinery whilst supporting English.

Worth the jeelt cauld haunds to get out in Heartlands this evening with @paulinestaffordsnp.bsky.social ❄️ Folks are excited for new leadership in West Lothian after a decade of disappointments under the Labour-Tory coalition 🥀 So, let’s put your priorities first and vote Callum #1 #ActiveSNP

This extra £25.5 million means more appointments, more procedures, more people getting care faster - part of £135.5 million invested this year to keep cutting waiting times.

Good to see you, @guyverhofstadt.bsky.social. Despite the disastrous Brexit that we never voted for, Scotland remains a proud European nation. We will be back, with our own seat at the table. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

A bit dreich but we’re still out speaking with folks about our campaign for a more affordable, brighter and connected West Lothian! Great chats and growing support for our campaign and @snp.org across Blackburn this morning with @paulinestaffordsnp.bsky.social & @fionahyslop.bsky.social #ActiveSNP

#YouYesNow #IndyClan? It's TIME for #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤝🇵🇸Thanks to Palestinian Ambassador Zomlot for visit to Scotland. The Scottish Government will continue support for Gaza ceasefire, Palestinian Statehood and a two-state solution for Palestine and Israel

The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees. Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year. Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.

Scotland’s fishing industry makes up more than half of the UK’s total catch. Yet Labour’s new funding plan gives us less than 8% of the support. They’re gutting our industry to boost England’s - just like they have with others.

I want to live in a Scotland free from child poverty, and that’s what I’m focusing my government on. But we also have a moral responsibility to the Global South, particularly when so many countries cut international aid. My reflections on the visit to Zambia and Malawi 👇

What a nerve Starmer has! His government is causing a crisis in the care sector by removing visas for overseas workers + job losses in many sectors including struggling local authorities by increasing employer NI costs. Scotland has the best performing NHS & lowest child poverty tx to SNP.

Everybody repost this and memorise

We've got a stellar set of speakers this term at @ihr.bsky.social. Come along an immerse yourself in the latest early modern history research! #EarlyModern 🗃️

Hearing that the petition agst digital ID has reached 2 million signatures. I don’t know who is advising Keir Starmer but he is out of tune with the public mood on so many things. Anxiety over Big Brother &billionaire tech bros capturing our data far outweighs concerns about illegal migrants.

I am very sorry to hear of the death of Ming Campbell. He was a formidable, and courteous political leader who served the people of NE Fife with devotion, and was a strong voice for establishing the Scottish Parliament. My sympathy to the LibDems and to his family.

The Government has revealed plans for a new mandatory digital ID. It’s invasive and could mean millions of people unable to go about their daily lives. Right now it's just an idea - we need to stop it becoming a reality. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Sums it up!

SNP delivering for Scotland! Well done Kate Forbes in securing this!👏

Worrying

Despite his role supporting a referendum for a Scottish Parliament in 1997, I’ve never quite forgiven Mandelson for saying he was ‘intensely relaxed about people becoming filthy rich’ because we can’t all become ‘filthy rich’ can we? Now his penchant for the elite filthy rich is coming home to bite.

Hebrew Channel 14 reports the Doha strikes were executed by 10 Israeli warplanes flying a 1,800 km route through Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia before releasing 10 missiles at the Hamas delegation’s meeting site. It was all pre-planned! Open source data shows UK and US refueling aircraft.

The Bonnie Broukit Bairn could be an anthem for our times, it laments the neglect of the earth.

Good article but what a worry🫨

Wonderful news. Delivering for Scotland

Starmer sacked Murray for a reason. What was it? The Scotland job is a minor position in the Cabinet. He could have left it alone. So why sack Murray? It can only be that Starmer is fearful of support for independence not falling and wanted somebody who could attack the indy movement better.

"Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself." inews.co.uk/news/green-p...

The fact that Starmer has included the Scotland Secretary in his major reshuffle (the Scotland job is a minor minister) signals to me that Scotland is very much on Starmer’s radar. He’s made quite a few visits to Scotland since GE 24, more than any other recent PM ever did. Be warned.

While Westminster is in chaos, your SNP Scottish Government is delivering progress. ✅ Cheaper rail fares ✅ More NHS operations ✅ More GPs and paramedics ✅ Funding to build 36,000 more affordable homes. ✅ Measures against the genocide in Gaza. And that’s just this week alone. Join us: snp.org/join

I did not know this!

In what global geo-political scenario is it ever in the USA’s interests that Russia becomes stronger?

Disgraceful. Name is Graham Simpson. Never heard of him.
