High miler. Well travelled. Been around the block a few times. Love music, art and interested in current affairs. Social democrat. Scotland will be better off making all it's own decisions and in control of it's own resources. Scotland is a country.

The nurse who made fun of new parents who can’t feed their babies without SNAP was fired. Shame on her. Poverty is not a moral failing. Those in healthcare roles are supposed to help, not hurt. Don’t forget to donate diapers, formula & feminine care products to food banks!

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

If the problem for Starmer is the rising number of young people on welfare then why is he cutting welfare generally and specifically for the disabled who have already proven to meet the existing criteria and not designing a programme to assist young people? ##welfare www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

Today, a disabled woman is givin’ her time tae help my son access the support he needs. She’s a councillor, mother, carer, & somehow makin’ it work in a half-finished kitchen fae the HA. Starmer would hae ye believe she’s a ‘drain’ on the economy. Na! She’s the backbone of this country. 🔥 #YouYesYet
A bold blue and white Saltire with the words ‘The real wealth of a nation is its people—not its profits.’ in clear, striking white text. The message challenges the idea that those in need of support are a burden. Instead, it highlights the strength, care, and contributions of people like this disabled mother and councillor—who, despite barriers, give more to their communities than any Westminster politician ever will

Starmer’s headin’ doon the same road as Trump—makin’ the ill & disabled pay for his power trip. When they say ‘the cruelty is the point,’ dinnae kid yersel that the English are exempt—history tells ye otherwise. Scotland wants a Commonweal, no a corporate cash machine. 🔥 #YouYesYet
A bold blue and white Saltire with the words ‘A country should be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable—not by how rich its shareholders are.’ in striking white text. The message is clear—while Westminster governments, regardless of party, continue policies that punish the poorest and most vulnerable, Scotland envisions a different path: one of care, dignity, and a Commonweal where people come before profit.

However the #UKgov try to wrap it up - the punitive cuts for disabled people are brutal. They are penalising the most vulnerable people. Reducing UC health allowance by £50/week and reducing access to PIP assessments won't work. If policymakers understood how brains actually tick, they'd rethink:
