It's more crucial than ever that we take our future into our own hands. With independence we could end years of cuts and chaos, reject the anti-migrant agenda, protect our planet and re-join the European Union. That’s why independence will always be at the heart of our vision for Scotland. 💚

Today we’re launching our LGBTQIA+ manifesto ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections on the 7th of May, with our partners: Equality Network, @scottishtrans.bsky.social, @leapsports.bsky.social, LGBT Youth Scotland & LGBT Health and Wellbeing. www.equality-network.org/wp-content/u...

It says "Scottish LGBTQIA+ Manifesto 2026-2031" On the right side are the Equality Network, Scottish Trans, LGBT Youth Scotland, LGBT Health and Wellbeing and LEAP Sports logos. At the bottom is a faded image of the outside of the Scottish Parliament, with an image of a waving progress pride flag on top.

Child poverty is a political choice. Far too many families have been left struggling to make ends meet while the cost of food, fuel, heating and other essentials keeps rising. We can choose a Scotland where every child has the chance to grow up to reach their full potential.
STV News. Greens pledge to increase child payment to £55 by 2030. Greens also pledged supplementary support to parents under the age of 25, who are entitled to less in Universal Credit under current UK Government rules.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Yep. They lose water through their leaves, by transpiration. When they are getting “thirsty” (thirstree maybe?), they lose leaves to conserve their water.

Post-Brexit licences for exporting food to EU cost UK firms up to £65m last year. Brexit has brought higher business/household costs, loss of exports and jobs. In the Trumpian trade wars, the UK must forge closer relationship with Europe. Rejoin the EU.

To people on this platform saying that those holding "I support Palestine Action" signs deserve to be arrested, because PA has been designated a terrorist group by the government: Remember that lickspittles and system justifiers have enabled every form of oppression, everywhere.

Grip of the state. The UK is less open and transparent than Colombia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ireland, Korea, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. Weak parliament, press, civil society makes democracy difficult in a secretive state, facilitates elective dictatorships.

The UK is in decline where money wields power. Normal people toil and are just voting fodder. Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich. Must end political corruption

Funnily enough the British free speech warriors who were so determined to protect free speech on campus they made up data on cancelled events, and relentlessly and successfully lobbied the government to pass a law protecting a right already legally protected, have had *nothing* to say on this.
