Scottish LABOUR Councillor, Jamie, he has just defected to... Reform UK. What was it, in their Racist, National Front, Scottish-hating Manifesto, that he absolutely loved? Renfrew North, now, a bit like 'The Deep South', but less tolerant. Everything wrong with Scottish Labour, in one photie!

NORSTAT poll on SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE 78% YES in under 35s 21% lead for YES (unweighted) All the major polling companies still use 2014 weighting, including Norstat in this new poll. You have to wonder how current and accurate this weighted polling is with our, now very different, demographic.

“This is all a very deliberate strand of how to re-foot what is happening to our economy. That strand is to make the UK the weapons exporter to the world.” Can the UK's economy be saved by spending billions on making arms to sell overseas?

We were promised a circus when Nigel Farage came to Hamilton and we got a complete farce. Farage came and left Reform's office in the town through the back door and didn't show up at a media event in the town. Instead, pro and anti-Reform protesters shouted at each other over a Ford Fiesta.

Just so you know, local Councillors in Scotland are a toxic, dangerous, sleakit lot! You simply CANT defect from Labour to Reform, with being incredibly disingenuous. Truly awful.

Labour needs vision and purpose - fast! Not being the Tories is insufficient. Being watered-down Tories is worse. Offering very little to those who have nothing leaves a big gap. One that will be filled eagerly by a cynical, lying, opportunistic chameleon... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For all the journalists, newspapers and broadcasters sucking up to Farage and Reform: you may well get this man into power with your propaganda, but rest assured if he ever takes office the first throat he will cut will be that of the press. You're cheerleading for your own undertaker you damn fools

This looks like more Blue Labour nonsense designed to get 'business' on board Few know what career they really want at 16 and see it through. Teenagers change a lot between 16 and 18 We don't need a whole load of 18 year old automatons. We need intelligent young people with some critical faculty

Maybe it's just me, but first spreading division by talking about an "island of strangers" and then trying to create a "unity of purpose" through preparing for war all seems very dark rhetorically – like a greatest hits album from the 1930s.

For those who are asking for assurances NF and his Reform Party wouldn’t dissolve the Scottish Parliament. Here’s a pic (from the video below) of NF at the time of the Better Together campaign in 2014. He’s against Scottish Independence and Scots having a say in their own business.
