Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

The Red Tories have gone full on Trump. Talking about suspending peoples driving licences for 2 years for the unemployed accused of being 'benefits cheats'🤨 Well that is going to help people back to work🙄 Sounds very Tory to me. How about this novel idea? ...They go after billionaire tax dodgers?

Red Tories going after "Benefits Cheats". Looking at suspending their driving licences 🙄 £1.5 Billion savings over 5 years... That is only £300 million per year. Absolute peanuts, that isn't going to make an iota of economic difference. How about the Red Tories go after billionaire tax dodgers?

Labour promised 1000 GB Energy jobs in Aberdeen. Michael Shanks says it's not inconceivable it will create 1000+ jobs after its CEO told MPs he expected between 200 & 300. It's not inconceivable Shanks will grow a spine, but that's not going to happen either. www.thenational.scot/news/2487254...

Very welcome news that unemployment in Scotland has fallen to 3.8% and is lower than the rest of the UK. Scotland’s economy has grown faster than the rest of the UK, but we need to do more to deliver growth and progress - I will be setting out views in a speech tomorrow.

"Charles could cover the entire costs of delivering that estimated cost of Trussell Trust food parcels for the entirety of Scotland for a year with just 1% of his wealth, or with less than a quarter of what he is given by the British State every year (£86.3m)." www.thenational.scot/politics/248...

This is why King Charles really visited the Scottish food bank
The visit is an emblem of the gulf between the image he intends to project and the reality of the people he rules over from a golden throne.

Charing Cross, once Glasgow's new beating heart, was all but flattened in the 1960s to make way for the M8 — but plans approved last month could see the area changed dramatically.
