I have received the first official estimate of the cost to Scotland's pensioners of the Prime Minister's attack on the triple lock. It will take up to £4bn from Scotland's pensioners. And the Prime Minister plans to use it to pay for social care in England. This would mean in real terms 👇

What's particularly shocking about this is that 🇬🇧 Burnham made no mention of this in his announcement, and has refused to even acknowledge the impact on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland. He chose to play it that way. A "UK" PM in name only.

9 years after Grenfell fire killed 72 people, Police pass files to the Crown Prosecution Service for possible charges against 54 individuals and 20 companies. How many will be prosecuted? Years of litigation will follow. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Deloitte paid its UK-based partners £1.125m. Firm has 784 equity partners. Due to self-employed status of partners, employer national insurance (ENI) is not paid on profits shared. 150,000 ENI avoided on every £1m of profits shared. Billions lost across the country. Must end this privilege.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

Why are Russia banned from playing football by authorities but Israel are not? Both stand accused of an illegal war and atrocities, Israel of a genocide. The response to Russia was swift. Are these double standards? Is it a level playing field?

BBC are pushing a distinct narrative, BBC executives are pro-right wing so that is the message folk are getting. The RNLI are not “facing increased scrutiny”, they are being intimidated & attacked by thugs. Donations to the RNLI are up, but that’s not the news BBC want us to hear! Propaganda
