This could be a familiar pattern. On the eve of the UN inspection teams withdrawal from Iraq, Hans Blix reported no weapons of mass destruction, but the warmongers had made a decision and, well, see where we are now.

So gloves are off in the Labour Party and MPS told they’ll lose the whip if they vote against cuts to PIP. I literally don’t care what else this govt achieves by 2029 - if your Labour MP votes for pain for the disabled they don’t deserve re-election.

I want to live in a nation where every child can thrive. The UK government’s two-child cap is a cruel policy that holds us back and drags children into poverty. Where Westminster fails to act, Scotland leads - so we are ending the two-child cap from 2nd March 2026.

Why couldn't the Scottish Government save Grangemouth? Energy is reserved to Westminster. Why can't Scotland welcome more care workers from overseas? Immigration is reserved to Westminster. Why can't the Scottish Government tackle drug addiction better? Drug laws are reserved to Westminster.

Reeves is thinking about cutting disability benefits but the UK still has money to send military assets to defend Israel - Israel, who are starting wars and committing war crimes. Seems like a solid use of taxpayer money no Keir Starmer? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Palestinian genocide has changed our lives forever. The world as we knew it. The people we thought were decent. Everything has been exposed in ways that can't be undone. It's unconscionably dark. And I'll never forgive nor forget all those who remained silent & complicit. #FreePalestine🇵🇸
