We can’t possibly have anything positive said about Scotland now can we? That’d only encourage those nasty Indy supporters. Media bias will see to that 👇👇👇👇👇.

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.

UK Chancellor can easily increase income tax personal allowance by £3,000 a year. It will boost basic rate taxpayers by £600 a year. Millions will be helped. Benefit to higher rate taxpayers can be clawed back. The cost of £30bn can be met by ending bank subsidies, £100bn over the last 3 years.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population

The Scottish Block Grant from Westminster in 2023 / 2024 was £43 Billion. On the same year Scotland’s GDP was £209 Billion. It would look like the Westminster money tree has been found and it’s coming straight out of every Unionist AND Independence voters back pocket . Scottish Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁👍

Amount a pensioner receives in the UK is the lowest in Europe, just 2/3rds of France and barely 50% of Italy who are considered a 'poorer' country. Why is our pension 'unaffordable' when it is so low, and where is all our money actually going?

British politicians do not represent the British people. They represent the people that give them ‘donations’, and probably also the people who have Epstein-like photos and videos of them .

We were in Glasgow City Centre yesterday evening. No one tried to stab us. No one tried to rob us. No one tried to sell us drugs. We saw no violence or disorder. Although we did pass a woman at a bus stop who tutted and complained her bus was late. We feel awful for letting BBC Scotland down.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels

Utter disgrace!! The lower tax threshold has been purposely kept at £12,570 for 5 years and will remain at this level till 2031. Taking inflation into account, it should be at £15,563. £2,993 more tax relief at 20% means the lowest paid are £598 worse off a year. Meanwhile no wealth tax!!

Harry Kane scored 6 goals for England in the World Cup. After he admitted he went golfing with Donald Trump he did not score again the rest of the tournament, and England are out. The Trump sports curse remains undefeated.

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in. What an insufferable wanker.

Physicist & chemist Marie Curie was the: + First woman to win a Nobel Prize + First person & only woman to win twice + Only person to ever win a Nobel Prize in 2 different sciences: Physics (1903) & Chemistry (1911) Marie Skłodowska Curie died #OTD in 1934. #WomenInSTEM
A striking black-and-white studio portrait of Marie Curie (1867–1934), the legendary Polish-French physicist and chemist who revolutionized modern science by discovering radioactivity, polonium, and radium. As the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields, her profound historical significance is reflected in her serious, deeply introspective expression. Photographed from the chest up, she looks directly at the camera with an intense, analytical gaze. Her graying hair is styled in a soft updo, framing a face etched with a look of quiet resolve and intellectual focus. She wears a dark, textured jacket over a shirt adorned with a distinctive geometric, black-and-white checkered pattern at the neckline. The portrait utilizes a stark, dark, textured background that blends into her clothing, creating a high-contrast composition that draws complete focus to her face. The overall mood is solemn, dignified, and powerful, capturing the essence of a brilliant academic pioneer who dedicated her life to scientific discovery.
