The UK does not have a migrant crisis. It has a successive government's allowing human beings to drown in the channel crisis.

Disability Labour - the Labour Party’s official disabled person’s affiliate organisation - has issued a statement that the government’s concessions are insufficient and is calling on all MPs to vote against the benefits Bill on Tuesday

What the 'Scottish' corporate media isn't telling you - UK government figures reveal that NHS Scotland’s cancer waiting times are significantly better than NHS England, and much better than NHS Wales and Northern Ireland. indyposterboy.scot/better-cance...

What the 'Scottish' corporate media isn't telling you - The Royal College is recommending that NHS England’s A&E departments should adopt Scotland’s ‘front door frailty screening’. indyposterboy.scot/frontdoor-sc...

Did you know that according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is expected to fall over the next four years, whilst it will *rise* in all other parts? indyposterboy.scot/reduce-pover...

What the 'Scottish' corporate media isn't telling you - official UK ONS records revealed that planned care waiting lists in England were 40% longer than in Scotland, and *twice* as long in Labour-run Wales. indyposterboy.scot/better-plann...

July 25th 1968 on a Scottish Schools trip to Russia for pupils studying the language, there in Lenin's tomb I first heard of John Maclean. Years later I was thrilled to meet his daughter Nan MIlton at a talk on Scots the Mither Tongue in Lithgae. I describe this in these books.

Palantir is exactly the kind of company the CIA would create to spy on every other Government and citizen on the planet. And that is exactly what it is doing.

The Founder of Glastonbury Michael Eavis ignores Keir Starmer's request to drop Kneecap from the lineup and says, "People that don’t agree with the politics of the event can go somewhere else". 👍 www.thejournal.ie/glastonbury-...

Fiona Bruce lies shamefully as QT opens tonight contrary to the truth that NHS Scotland does better on the 4 key measures of A&E, cancer, 18 weeks and overall waiting lists talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/10/24/r...

I stopped watching this a while ago. I could no longer stomach Bruce's shameless bias. I decided to have a look last night. Nothing's changed, she again blatantly lied about the Scottish NHS stats and no one challenged her. Why do SNP panelists allow this? talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/06/27/t...

So disabled people already claiming benefits will be protected but in the future people with the exact same disabilities will have their eligibility for benefits removed or their benefits cut Kinnock says the govt was elected on a manifesto promising change.

Remember on election night when the BBC abandoned the swingometer because there was no swing. More 2019 Tory voters swung to being dead than swung to Labour in 2024

So disabled people already claiming benefits will be protected but in the future people with the exact same disabilities will have their eligibility for benefits removed or their benefits cut Nadia Whittome: "these revised proposals... would create a 2 tier benefit system"

GEORGE MONBIOT ‘If you don't know what to do with power, if you have no project other than staying in office, no moral core, no plan to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, no trace of Labour values, perhaps you should step aside for someone who does.’ #Starmer

The SNP is scrapping the two-child cap and lifting children out of poverty. The UK Labour government wants to impose cruel cuts that will push 50,000 more children into poverty. And Anas Sarwar is supporting the UK Labour Government in punishing the vulnerable.

MSP Shirley-Anne Somerville, "Labour's Welfare Bill will push 50,000 children into poverty" #BBCQT "PIP has nothing to do with helping people into work. It's a benefit to ensure that the additional costs that you have from being disabled from having a long term condition are assisted with"

Another new low for the Republican Party. A House of Rep Congressman calls on a political opponent to be denaturalised & deported from the US (after he won a Mayoral primary). Andy Ogles: in the racist, xenophobic, demonising gutter with the rest of his party.

Doesn't UK Labour ramping up its WMD warmongering give all of us in Scotland a warm, safe feeling? indyposterboy.scot/sacrificial-...

Caroline Flint claims Kendall never wanted to target people who have difficulties washing or clothing themselves Thats a lie. Through changes to how people are assessed the cuts strip eligibility for PIP from people who cant use the toilet on their own &who cant dress themselves

How Mark Lowen ends an interview with MSF's Joanne Perry speaking from Gaza "Our best to you as well because dozens of aid workers have been killed on the ground.. it is an extremely dangerous situation for humanitarian workers on the ground" Do we have any idea who killed them?

"Don't proscribe Palestine Action" please sign the petition www.change.org/p/don-t-pros...

Angus Robertson has refused to say whether the Scottish Government would back boycott, divestment and sanctions against the state of Israel in a tense exchange with Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie

I see that the usual Labour and establishment suspects are targeting the record of the NHS in Scotland. It must be a sh*tty and soul-destroying job to have to attack the hard work of nurses and doctors in that way when you know your own record is worse. indyposterboy.scot/patient-sati...

Sharing This Video Could Get You 14 Years in Prison @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

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

When a planned massacre happens at all hours of the day, 24-7, for months, years, it's not a mere massacre. It is genocide. The textbook case of genocide. And it is on our conscience. Each and every one of us, whatever our beliefs, are weighed down by it. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

I think if the Democratic party doesn't stand in full force behind Zohran Mamdani against the current wave of islamophobic attacks, including calls to deport him, it will be the death of the party. It will look like a party dealing with a primary winner they don't like by throwing him to the wolves.

"The SNP must give up the pretence. The firms they fund are arming Israel." www.thenational.scot/politics/252...

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Not an SNP fanboy in any way (and pissed off to the Nth degree at their lack of ooomph on independence), but the single greatest measure of a government’s success must surely be its effect on the welfare of children. By that measure their success is huge. indyposterboy.scot/scottish-chi...

Before election vs after election. #WeatherCockSarwar will do as he is told by Westminster Labour. ‘Scottish’ Labour? There is no such thing. Just a rubber stamp branch office for London policies.

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
