This is the human cost

Wes Streeting states the SNP are refusing to use the Palintir App in the Scottish NHS for 'Nationalist reasons'
Here are the reasons the UK Government health Minister refers to as 'Nationalist' and it's a revelation of his thinking.

In 19 years, the SNP, supported by the Greens, have enacted over 200 policies, aimed at improving life in Scotland. In stark contrast, the WM unionist party's contribution has been consistently negative. Send them back to where they belong, by voting for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 INDEPENDENCE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Trump broke his promises to pursue this unwinnable war. Britain must not follow him into the abyss | Simon Jenkins The bombing of Iran is deeply unpopular. Despite the Tories’ urgings, Keir Starmer must not further embroil the UK in this disaster, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

Problem with voting SNP1/SNP2 is that it risks getting no Indy majority at all, whereas SNP1/SG2 is far more likely to result in a pro-Indy majority.

Time & time again we’ve been told Labour’s tax on Scotland’s energy would be ended, only for it to be kept or increased - that is exactly what happened this week.

1000 jobs are being lost a month in our energy sector & Labour are actively making a choice for that to continue.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

Hague Group measures against Israel to be weighed up by 40 countries

Pete Hegseth’s barely contained excitement about the death America is inflicting is utterly disgusting.

Scottish Labour MP's husband arrested in China spying probe

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today. Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle. They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice. Thankfully, the tide is

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Our Home Affairs Select Committee report on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban has been published. An extraordinary and unjustified decision that exposed serious failures within West Midlands Police.

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid My column in the Herald on Sunday: the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry is welcome. We must also confront how our third sector has become institutionally corrupted to the point where it sides with SNP ministers instead of standing with women and girls

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Follow The SNP are taking the biscuit. They chose to turn Glasgow into sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies, and now they want the Home Office to bail them out.

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

Keir Starmer not condemning Trump will see UK 'dragged into war', warns Zack Polanski

Zack Polanski has said it is 'quite astounding' that Keir Starmer is 'incapable' of standing up to Donald Trump and condemning the United States attacks on Iran, as he fears the UK will be 'pulled into another illegal war'

The more the SNP dominate constituencies the more their Regional List vote is neutralised.

Protestors gather in city centre after US and Israel attack Iran

Protestors have gathered in Glasgow city centre after the United States and Israel launched military strikes on Iran

Scottish Greens condemn US attacks on Iran Scottish Greens condemn US attacks on Iran - Donald Trump is acting like a gangster on the world stage.

This is reckless and destructive behaviour from a White House that has shown total contempt for human rights, international law and negotiations.

As always it's civilians who pay the price.

Funny how politicians who are most keen on whining about immigration and refugees and asylum seekers are also very keen on starting the wars that create refugees and asylum seekers.

Entitlement. Sickening.

Labour are dead in Scotland
They've used and abused the trust of Scots too many times.

Hannah Spencer, a councillor and plumber, emerged victorious for the Greens, with a majority of 4402 votes at a historic by-election last night

Her full speech is here: www.thenational.scot/news/2...

The schadenfruede is strong today about Matt Goodwin losing heavily to the Greens in Gorton & Denton. I can't imagine the levels of twattishness it takes to spend months punching down on British Muslims and then being upset that they didn't vote for you.

Major new poll puts Scottish Greens on course to overtake Labour at Holyrood

NEW: The Scottish Greens will overtake Labour at the next Holyrood election, a major new poll has predicted 🚨

It's a hopeful moment, but we need to brace ourselves, writes Owen Jones. ✏️

From the 'Project Fear' Scots are so familiar with, to the brutal demonisation of Jeremy Corbyn, modern history shows us the tactics the establishment will use against Zack Polanski and the Greens

The choice facing Scotland is independence or fascism. A major new poll was published on Wednesday which confirms other recent polls in showing that Scots are on track to elect a pro-independence majority to Holyrood in May’s election. Even bette…

ANOTHER U-turn for Labour as they ditch their promise to pay all adults the same minimum wage.

A betrayal that will live long in the memory of young folk.

Do they believe in anything?
