A question I have never had answered satisfactorily - if Scotland is such a drain on England as is claimed, why is not a single one of England’s 533 MPs demanding the dissolution of the union?

#Waspi news reported by @politico London Playbook... Starmer also told traveling hacks there’ll be a statement on the plight of “WASPI women” in the “not too distant future.” It’s eight months since an ombudsman recommended that some get compensation.

Morning, imagine a country that has no control over its natural resources, and has no industry to process those resources, a country with elec infrastructure that benefits Eng, imagine paying the most in the UK for the energy produced in your own country. No ports, no refinery, 70% tax on whisky.

@scottishlabour.bsky.social LIARS 😡😡😡 🌹 During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. 🥀 Bills are now forecast to rise in January by £168 on average, since Labour got in. 💷 A £468 cut is now required to meet that promise.

Yep, and can't help conflate this with the fact that, due to temps in Scotland regularly plummeting lower than south of the border, removal of winter fuel payments can hit harder up here... hypothermia or even death kinda harder 😞

This horrific crime is impacting our children in Scotland and we need to raise awareness and warn of the dangers of sextortion. This morning I attended the launch of Fearless Scotland Sextortion campaign. You can learn more about our #sextortion campaign crimestoppers-uk.org/fearless/pro...

Good morning Bluesky A weekend in the life of Scotland where we have had English football, horseracing, and netball. Scotland play Poland tonight but we either have to pay to watch or find it on YouTube. All because Media is controlled by another Country and they call us a Region of them!

Imagine a country that has vast natural resources and products, but has nothing to show for it. Oh wait we have loads of pipes and cables going to England, and a thing called GB energy (that produces no energy).

I asked for a copy of WhatsApp's between Matt Hancock, Lord Bethell + Dido Harding (remember them) regarding Covid Testing. The DHSC has refused to release them on "security" grounds. They claim publication "would, or would be likely to, prejudice the prevention or detection of crime" 🤦‍♂️⤵️
