Think for myself. I get more left wing as I get older. Always independence. Don't suffer fools gladly. Retired nurse ( RMN). No DMs unless I give consent and automatic block if you do it anyway. Block for anyone who asks for money. This is not the place.

Starmer is a charlatan devoid of principles or decency. The only values he appears to have involve hurting the weak, grovelling to the rich and powerful and silencing dissent. He is dangerous, amoral and unfit to lead My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Stephen Kinnock is lying. People don't lose PIP when they get a job, its not an out of work benefit & plenty of people on PIP work Kinnock knows this. What he's doing is part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers stealing from working people

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

Baroness Mone of Mayfair, formerly known as Michelle Allan, made £60,000,000, by tricking the UK Government into buying medical gowns and masks, through a: 'VIP fastrack system', which were made in China and turned out to actually be defective. She's not been jailed for three and a half years.

This is just ridiculous and is another example of a complacent and far too comfortable Scottish government failing people at the most basic level. Situations like this should never be allowed to happen and should be nipped in the bud before it gets to this stage.

Independent Ireland is the world’s 3rd richest country. Its poorest have a living standard 62% higher than the UK poorest. It now has 44+ direct EU trade routes bypassing England, & increased EU trade by 50% in just 6months. If Ireland can *of course* Scotland can. indyposterboy.scot/independent-...

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

The Westminster vote in Scotland seems to be coalescing around the SNP, Reform UK and UK Labour. There has been a marked drop in support for the Tories and LibDems this month. This is based on nine Scottish subsamples in June from across five different pollsters.

I'm old enough to remember the cash for questions scandal back in 1994, looks to me like nothing much has changed, in fact it's gotten worse.

Please explain the difference between Feudalism where Lords own everything and you can't afford to buy anything. And Capitalism where billionaires own everything and you can't afford to buy anything.

The West has burned all of its soft power, all of its so called moral superiority and claims to be democratic. To support Israel committing Genocide. How utterly stupid and disgraceful.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament approves the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Decision needs ratified by Iran’s Security Council. It would trap 20% of the world’s oil supply and send a catastrophic shock through the global economy.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

If Iran had attacked the USA it would be outrageous terrorism requiring an overwhelming response. But because the USA attacked Iran it's perfectly fine and it's Iran who needs to be sensible and come to the negotiating table What a load of BS our 'peaceful Western Democracy' is

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world. Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime. It ain't the USA.

Why do the BBC treat Farage & Reform differently from all other political parties & perspectives? No other perspective get this special treatment to supposedly earn back their trust. Never happened on Scottish independence, Irish republicanism or the Greens. Why Reform?
