With Epstein gone, is the search on for new procurers?

I never believed this poll in the first place. Most young people champion democracy and have compassion for others. It's my generation (the Trump generation) we need to worry about: selfish old farts with a distorted memory of the good old days.

One hopes that Nigel Fagash's grift is coming to a end. Bastard should be in jail for treason.

Does this mean the BBC won't be interviewing the Reform leader on any pretext for at least five minutes?

Farage skips Starmer’s big announcement a day after the party’s former Wales leader was accused of taking Russian bribe

First Minister John Swinney has called on Scots political parties & civic society to unite & counter the rise of hard right populism. A welcome move but an uphill battle with Labour & the Tories pandering to Reform UK & the BBC's constant platforming of Farage www.thenational.scot/news/2496495...

All 22 Labour MSPs abstained and all 31 Tories voted against it Well done to our SNP Government and the Green's and Lib Dems for passing this landmark budget 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 All Liebour and Tory MSPs preferred keeping kids in poverty and freezing pensoniors 👇🏻

NEW: Labour are following the 'populist playbook' by cutting foreign aid to boost defence, Stephen Flynn has said. Keir Starmer is cutting aid by 40% to increase defence to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 – mirroring Reform UK's manifesto

Scottish Government budget passed: 💷 Record £21 billion for our NHS 🏠 8,000 new affordable homes ❄️ Winter Heating Payment for every pensioner household ✂️ Ending Labour’s two-child cap, lifting 15,000 kids out of poverty This is a budget that puts Scotland’s priorities first

@teachersforindy.bsky.social I am sick of the media using ill informed opinions on statistics to bash the SNP government, teachers and pupils just because they don’t like the idea of Scottish Independence! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/01/29/r...

Just a reminder the SNP Scottish government is half way there

A month ago, the idea that the new German chancellor would talk about "independence from the US" would have been unbelievable

What a great idea - they could start by asking Farage what he's done for his constituency.

What do Trump supporters feel about this betrayal of democracy? Is this the way to make America great?

And this man could be our next PM?

Since the SNP took office, Scotland’s NHS has grown by over 33,000 extra doctors, nurses, and staff—an increase of over 26%. More frontline care. More support for patients. A stronger NHS for Scotland.

Ukrainian Allies together with President Zelenskyy paid their respects to fallen Ukrainian Warriors. (This is a memorial on Maidan, right in the center of Kyiv. Families of those who lost their loved ones put a Ukrainian flag there with the Warrior's name)

⚡️Sweden to transfer air defense systems to Ukraine estimated at $113 million. Sweden has announced a transfer of air defense systems worth 1.2 billion Swedish krona (approximately $113 million) to Ukraine, Svenska Dagbladet reported on Feb. 23.

It’s that easy 👇

👏👏👏

The USA has been the biggest single contributor to Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression, but European countries have contributed more - and we aren't trying to extort mineral rights as a reward for defending freedom. Trump is a traitor to democracy.

That's what Scotland means to Labour resources to exploit and set dressing for foreign dictators
