Terrible advice from the Guardian, you can now be detained indefinately without trial (or evidence) in the USA and many tourists have been. It is one of the most unsafe countries in the world for Government abuse of power. Do not travel there.

Scotland is one of the least crowded countries in Europe: England one of the highest. So why must we suffer from immigration policies set by Westminster based purely on England's priorities? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 #ScottishIndependence public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

Sonia Sodha, "Keir Starmer's language of immigration having caused: incalculable damage" "That is buying into a populist rhetoric that immigration is to blame for everything that is going wrong in this country" #BBCQT

I think it’s time to decide who has done incalculable harm to this country over the past decade? The list is very long; made up not of immigrants but largely of people rewarded for their treachery with peerages, ruling over us, wining & dining and generally taking our money & treating us as fools.

Farage is responsible for the most disastrous policy in post war Britain. He is close to and mimics the worst US President ever, causing global destruction and harm- including to us. And yet, Labour refuses to hold him to account for either. This is not how you defeat populism.

All the new Reform UK councillors may lack experience, but they can always rely on their strongly held convictions. Especially the ones for fraud, sexual assault and tax evasion.

We can live in an independent Scotland, or remain in a (dis)United Kingdom, where things just get even worse than they already are. #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Privatisation is the fundamental reason why water is in crisis. The only other country with fully privatised water is Chile. We’re a global outlier, clinging to a failed Ponzi scheme while our rivers choke and bills rise. It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

Starmer wants to relationalise British Steel in Scunthorpe & is now in talks to reopen an Airport in South Yorkshire yet wont lift a finger for Grangemouth? It's the same old story, England first, Scotland comes a very poor second when it comes to infrastructure projects.Why do we put up with this?

Keir Starmer opens #PMQs with a statement on Trump's tariffs, saying "we will rule nothing out". 👉 Here's an option for the PM. A better trade deal & deep alignment with the EU could effectively cancel out the impact of US tariffs - and boost UK GDP by up to 1.5% long term.

Former sub-postmaster Lee Castleton launching legal action against the Post Office and Fujitsu. Good on Lee. Civil judgement against him was obtained by fraud. Elsewhere Govt slow to compensate, many offered lower amounts. No one charged with mega fraud and perjury. will they ever be?

Anas Sarwar claims that critics should look in the dictionary to find the meaning of austerity. I think he should maybe look in the mirror and remember why and for whom Labour was created.

Blair McDougall was the architect of 'Project Fear' during the 2014 referendum. He claimed that Independence would bring about "massive cuts" to welfare benefits. Now as a Labour MP, he is backing those very cuts. With Labour, Scotland always loses. #AreYouYesYet #TwaCheeksSameArse
