The UK Government claims Universal Credit and minimum wage changes will address child poverty. But Joseph Rowntree Foundation projections show that only Scottish Government policies are making a positive difference and reducing child poverty. #YouYesYet www.jrf.org.uk/news/growth-...

Good job, man🙏

We have borrowed money to buy a little time, but we urgently need to increase our regular income to be able to pay our bills.

There are right-wing British media channels which are losing millions and yet that does not bother their right-wing financial backers - why is that? We are building a fair and balanced independent Scottish broadcaster and yet we cannot find backing to cover our £25k debts. We need support now!

Researchers prove that Scotland’s drug death surge was the simple and tragic consequence of the UK Conservative Government’s brutal austerity strategy from 2012 to 2019 talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/12/11/r...

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS. This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨

Scotland has a population of less than six million people yet its resources generate enough electricity for twenty five million people every day which is transferred to England and then sold back to Scottish consumers who are then charged the highest prices in Europe to use their own energy.

Rarely get the chance to listen live, but looking forward to catching up later.

A really enjoyable piece. Well worth a read 👍

It's to turn to rain later, so away out for a walk before it does❄️🌨

Or catch up when you can. I'll be catching up with this tomorrow, while I do the chores 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 📻 💬📰 🧼🧹

Nica has found a toasty warm spot on this cold November night

Scunnered is not the word. STV advertising T**** gowff gift vouchers 🍊🤢

Heads up #Labour party. It's been below zero all week here in rural, hilly south #Scotland, and mostly between -5 and -9C. The heating keeps coming on to protect itself from frost. If we switch off that setting, it freezes up *inside* the boiler and the central heating breaks down. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥶£££

Observation about Bluesky: there are fewer things I don't want to see like ads for rubbishy stuff, or forcefeeding of content in which I've no interest. Therefore, I scroll more slowly here than I would on the other place and am more likely to engage.

Give them a wee listen and help if you can

Read it... READ it!!!

Imagine if things were the other way around . .

Any insights? My only two posts have disappeared from view. One was just me saying "hello" with a pic of my cat and the other was a different picture of my cat.

Hello everyone. Lovely to see you here. Have enjoyed exploring who to follow via starter packs. And oh, the joy of being able to ban assorted fascists and heidbangers from my feed! In this pic Nica, and I are enjoying some lovely warm Scottish autumn sunshine.
