CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

No matter how much Tories and Labour love to talk down Scotland, we are big enough, smart enough and wealthy enough to succeed. Scotland’s economy is already growing faster than the UK - and independence would give us the full powers to go further. Here are the facts. 👇

It's hilarious to me that people can say. "Energy is too expensive, food is too expensive, rent is too expensive, my mortgage is too expensive." Then blame immigrants. What about the people who own all these things and who are making vast profits? Are they invisible?

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave. It would make them tens of billions a year. But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Why are you elevating the name of an American fascist who advocated for violence against multiple marginalised communities? Why are you respecting those views? You can just say nothing at all about him, and allow him to be irrelevant to Scotland. Be a better man.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

More people than ever are getting the hip and knee operations they need. Planned NHS procedures are up, waiting times are down, and hospital stays are getting shorter. Still more to do, but this is real progress – thanks to the hard work of NHS staff across Scotland. 👏

An independent Scotland outside the EU makes little sense. But an independent Scotland within the EU, throwing off the shackles of Brexit to thrive as a clean energy superpower in a new "outer rim" group alongside Ireland and the Scandinavian members ... Yeah, that'd be something to think about.

People are appallingly ignorant about immigration. They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on. It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.

This is why we need independence. Westminster is made up of a majority of Right wing parties now. Feck me Starmer is more concerned trying to appease Reform and Tory Feckwits than show what a Labour government should stand for. Attlee, Foot, Benn et al will be turning in their graves.

Did you know? Glasgow was once Europe's murder capital, so the Scottish Government created a taskforce to treat crime as a symptom of poverty and trauma. They offered jobs and support instead of just punishment. Murder rates dropped by half.
