We promised to bring down NHS waiting lists - and that's exactly what we're doing. Today's stats show long waits fell for the fourth month in a row, and we're investing a record £531m over three years to make it easier to see your GP. More to do, but our plan is working. ✅

While Labour and the Tories chase Reform’s rhetoric, the SNP under my leadership will always focus on what matters: serving Scotland and staying true to our progressive values. In short, delivering progress for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

www.politico.eu/article/uk-p... There's been a deafening silence about this story for some reason but I suspect that had it related to Holyrood, Cardiff Bay or Stormont then the Westminster media would have been all over it like a free Starmer suit.

In Scotland voters increasingly dislike right wing politics. In stark contrast, voters in England remain very attracted. In 2024 only 20% of voters chose a right wing party in Scotland, compared with 41% in England. And England always gets to choose who rules in Westminster. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 #YesScots

Democracy does not matter to Labour

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

I was fortunate enough to be gifted a bottle of Dalwhinnie Winter Gold. While enjoying a wee dram tonight I took a look at the Dalwhinnie website, where it says that they reckon this is even better when frozen. So rest of bottle is going into the freezer and further updates may follow.

McCrone report was classified and only came to light in 2005 upon a freedom of information request. However, Scotland was not allowed to know that it would have been one of the wealthiest countries in the (world) hidden to stop Scottish Independence www.livebreathescotland.com/would-englan....

Would England be richer without Scotland? No, it would be poorer!
If Scotland voted for independence, would England be richer? Let's look at Scottish industries and what it contributes to the UK finances.
