I grow stuff, like doing a bit of photography and dabble in politics. Of course, Scotland should have its independence.

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 👇👇👇👇👇.

I will point out again Clement Attlee LABOUR PRIME MINISTER. Nationalised Water, Rail, Healthcare and Housing and created more than 2,000,000 jobs working for the Government in just 5 years. That. Is. How. It. Is. DONE

First we have the Farage-attention-seeking-fanfare press conference to allow him to announce some steaming horseshit policy. Then we have the ‘why it’s steaming horseshit’ aftermath. But it’s already too late. Much like the filth pumped into our rivers and seas, our politics is hideously polluted.

Andy Burnham says he's cutting the VAT on domestic electricity. It would have been fairer to cut VAT on all domestic fuel including gas, oil, wood. It looks like he's started with token gestures.

The Herald claims the Murrell scandal is "the biggest political scandal in a generation." Bigger than Mandelson? Bigger than partygate? Bigger than Horizon scandal? Bigger than Windrush scandal? Bigger than Tory PPE VIP lane scandal? Bigger than cash for honours? Someone needs to get a grip.

When a politician says 'I get it', you can be sure that they really don't. Cutting VAT on attractions, meals, transport etc over school holidays just encourages spending. For those thay can afford it, great but many would just prefer extra cash in their pockets so that they can choose how to spend

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. Today that deal has been broken by the USA. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Flyer detailing how Westminster used Brexit to strip a wide range of important devolved powers from Scotland, and did so whilst excluding Scottish politicians from the 'debate'. 15 minutes. one speaker. No debate. Not a single Scottish MP allowed to speak on the bill. Are you angry yet?
