The rules for MSPs are not complex, and there aren't many. They're explained when they get elected. This is an arrogant "rules don't apply to us" attitude. Our Parliament isn't, and shouldn't become, a political campaign centre for Farage's Reform party. www.thenational.scot/news/2659121...

The people's occupation of Puerta del Sol in Madrid continues to grow in size and ferocity. They know the real invaders are not working class immigrants or people of color, but vulture funds, landlord parasites and transnational capitalists who drive workers from homes and suppress wages.
