šŸ„€Labour's Sarwar thinks he can do better than The SNP's Scottish Government in delivering our NHS? Compare Scotland with Labour's performance in maternity, neonatal, community and hospital-based childrenā€™s services in England and Wales... I'd rather stick with @thesnp.bsky.social thanks.

I wonder if MĆ¼sks support for AfD backfired. That is a massive turnout and the AfD did not even hit 20%...i.e. 4 out of 5 Germans didn't vote for them.

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

Sir Keir Starmer refused to repeat Labour's pledge that GB Energy would cut bills by up to Ā£500 but insisted it would stabilise prices. Amazing the difference an election makes. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/...

Why does Westminster fight so hard to keep us? #AreYouYesYet #independence #YES

Starmer claims there will be Ā£200m invested in Grangemouth. So why will it still be closing and why could the UK government find Ā£600m to invest in a refinery in Belgium?

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Left: "Penny Mordaunt: ā€˜I believe in leaving the EU to my coreā€™" Right: Penny Mordaunt, "We've just got to wake up. If we don't, I'm afraid there will be no deterrent for Russia" When you refuse to acknowledge that Brexit is exactly what Putin wanted, weakening the UK and the EU

As Sir Keir visits Scotland to embarrass Branch Manager Sarwar with some crumbs from the table, support for the UK Labour Party in Scotland continues to tumble. It has halved from 36% to 18% in just 8 months. The SNP vote is creeping back up. These figures are from Opinium 3-poll averages.

Result- 80% of German voters said no to the AfD and Elon Musk!

Four short weeks from todayā€¦join usā€¦the Indy movement is stirring.

Kinda destroys the whole dictator attack on Zelensky šŸ˜‚

83.3% turnout in Germany!! A massive turnout....that didn't translate into a massive surge for AfD. Well done Germany!

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germanyā€™s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in secondā€”despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

Changing minds from NO 2 YES Facts not insults. #AreYouYesYet #indy #independence

Why is England so scared of this? Could it be that they know how fucked they would be without being able to screw & rob from us? #DissolveTheUnion #BreakUpTheUK

UK stock market is a destructive cash extraction machine. In 2024, listed-companies paid Ā£86.5bn in dividends. Top 100 alone paid another Ā£56.9bn in share buybacks. In 2024, companies raised Ā£3.4bn in new shares; Ā£953.7m in 2023. UK ranked 28 out of 31 OECD countries for investment.

"Americaā€™s growing darkness: a timely warning to the UK Living amidst chaos in the US, I fear a creeping regime reminiscent of 1930s Germany. Project 2025 echoes a history threatening democracy"

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Labour Sarwar's big idea for the NHS is to declare a 'waiting times emergency' and open it up to the *private sector*. This is Wes Streeting talking, not Sarwar. He's also threatened to withhold cash from NHS Boards. (MSM Monitor)

Watching #trump ramble on at CPAC, flying off on tangents, reminds me of englands trump rambling on about peppa pig. Yet britons point the finger across the pond, laughing at americans for electing a hopeless narcissist, peddling r/w populism, into high office.

Are you struggling with poverty, low wages, insecure job? Neoliberals have an answer. They want govt to encourage you to speculate on the stock market, buy/sell shares with illusion of riches. Part of the right wing coup to distract people from reality, produce corporate foot-soldiers.

Itā€™ll always break my heart that we couldā€™ve had an extraordinary President with Kamala Harris and instead we have a disgusting rapist criminal traitor.
