The UK's state pension is not generous compared to others in Europe. Older people relying on the state pension have to get by on barely over £1000 a month. Andy Burnham’s plans to end the triple lock are unacceptable, morally wrong and the SNP will stand against them.

I think there should be a museum of shame, that shows every atrocity, broken law, corruption and treasonous act. It should be a cautionary tale to anyone who wants to follow in his footsteps.

It's disturbing seeing how many people use A.I. to fill out their job applications. As someone who reads about 500 resumes a week, seeing the same odd, very specific answers in the same words on most applications is incredibly disappointing... 🫠 All this to say, BE ORIGINAL! #ai #2026 #jobs

Over 50 green groups are calling out PM Andy Burnham for his total silence on the climate crisis during Britain’s 5th heatwave. Focusing on disposable barbecues while heat cripples transport and the NHS is an unacceptable failure of leadership. How long can No 10 avoid reality? 🌡️ #ClimateCrisis

Yes, Mr Sarwar... (from this May)
Screenshot from May 2026 of a social media post by The National featuring a headline that reads, "NEW: Anas Sarwar has ruled out ever taking a seat in the House of Lords." Below the text is a photograph of Anas Sarwar in a suit and red tie standing outdoors, with supporters holding "Scottish Labour," "Scotland Needs Change," and "Vote" signs in the background. A caption beneath the image reads, "Anas Sarwar rules out 'ever' taking seat in House of Lords."

2nd standard non-MRP poll in a row to have the SNP on 57 seats, all FPTP, ZERO on the list, 19 out of 20 times. The pro-indy majority is in jeopardy! Spread the word: we can only make this up by ensuring we vote SGP2 more than we are. SNP list votes cannot do this! #SNP1SGP2 NOT #BothVotesSNP

Once again we show "what if half the SNP2 vote voted SGP2 instead" on this poll. Instead of wasting list votes on the SNP, there would be 14 more SGP list MSPs, putting them second, whilst also reducing the number of unionist MSPs. #SNP1SGP2 or #SNP1Greens2 NOT #BothVotesSNP

14 more SGP list seats = 25 in total & second, having lowered all other parties list seats by that number also.Regional seats breakdown from this scenario

BREAKING: Donald Trump is attacking CNN after the network aired the full statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council saying it achieved a “great victory” and forced the U.S. to accept its 10-point plan. 1/
The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows. The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a "legitimate" headline. The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible "reporting." Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMP
