I'm seeing lots of horror stories from Americans about their hassles with health insurance bills. Here in Scotland in 2020 I had a massive stroke, I was in hospital for many weeks & required intensive rehab for months after. Our sole out of pocket expense was snacks for my husband's stress eating.

The Scottish NHS isn't perfect, no healthcare system is, my mum has melanoma, now sadly stage 4 & incurable, she's never had to wait more than a couple of weeks for a scan or an appointment. She almost died last Xmas. it's only thanks to NHS Scotland we still have her. Not a penny in health bills.

Someone needs to invent some kind of online calculator whereby we Brits can put in our recent healthcare appointments/meds/experiences and it’ll calculate what it would cost on average in the USA. Just to hammer home how bloody lucky we are to have the NHS and how fiercely we need to protect it.

Starmer will be spitting feathers over this. The ravages of Brexit disease upon UK infrastructure will continue. No amount of glossy brochures about growth, innovation, and prosperity will solve things unless the UK ditches its 86 deregulated free zones and rejoins the EU

Please stop telling me to be more patient with Keir Starmer and the NHS. Look at the stats. Every single day they fail to take action, more patients needlessly die. Why are you OK with that?

Has it sunk in yet British people? Starmer has formed a partnership with Blackrock, do you know what this means? The UK is going to be privatised!

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to. #film #filmsky #movies #moviesky

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Good morning Bluesky Let us tell you about Scotland. We produce oil but soon to have no refinery. We produce electricity but make no money from it. We have ports but cannot trade from them. That's only the half of it. Wait till we tell you about the nuclear weapons in populated areas!

Appalling. Remote controlled drones being used to hover over, look at, and then cynically shoot children ranks amongst the sickest cowardice ever. Best not highlight who is doing it though, hey BBC?

Labour caving to some of the richest people in the country - whilst raising the tax burden on employing the low paid - has been described as the "lobbying coup of the decade." But how bad is it? 🧵

"Dump ‘socialist’ EU, Trump aide tells Britain PM urged to align with US if he wants trade deal" The Times It's clear that Starmer & Labour should side with the EU for various and geographical reasons but Starmer thinks he can take home cake from a number of weddings.

Just when you thought no PM could be worse than Boris 'let the bodies pile high' Johnson - enter Keir Starmer to repeatedly deny #Israel is committing a genocide in #Gaza when the UN is now saying it looks like one. A genocide-denying British Labour PM hey. What a mess www.ohchr.org/en/documents...

It’s such a relief to finally hear BoE Governor admit the truth about Brexit! Brexit has decimated trade and blown a black hole in the economy. Brexit is a disaster. Brexit needs to be undone pronto!

Hey @thesnp.bsky.social there is a strong cohort of Indy supporters growing on here, might be an idea to make sure all your key people have accounts. I don’t think John Swinney or Stephen Flynn have joined yet for example.
