Delighted you remain deluded
Just as you were for each of the many Tory leaders
This will help to ensure your continued defeats, especially in Scotland were you and your party are now fifth in seats in our parliament
Please keep up this good work

As the Labour government continues to suppress voices of dissent, it is essential that we support TRUE independent journalism.

NEW: Brentford FC co-owner bankrolled Andy Burnhamβs leadership campaign.
As the Prime Minister comes under pressure over potential UAE links, more details of his funding arrangements emerge.
Burnhamβs position is becoming increasingly untenable. Hereβs what Iβve discovered:π§΅

Michael Marra's strategy is to repeatedly offer to 'work together' on anything and everything. He has no actual plans or policies. He just wants to 'work together'.

1) Brexit,
2) A right-wing lying Labour Gov,
3) Reform,
4) Enabling a genocide,
5) Disability cuts,
6) Energy stolen
7) Water stolen,
8) Funding the BBC
9) UK propaganda
Please add..

Scotland has highest grid connection charges in UK because (we are told) of our remoteness from biggest demand
Scotland exports over 1TWhr (a billion kWhr) every month
So respect democracy & put your nuclear where the demand is
PS Congrats on that 5th place, Holyrood 2026!

Remember when @jackiebmsp had her photo opportunity with WASPI women ?
Then promptly supported the betrayal of them
She canβt be trusted
Sheβs a hypocrite

This Hospice Care Week, Iβm supporting calls for better funding for hospices across Scotland.
We must get end-of-life care right and the Scottish Government need to stop relying on charities to fill the gaps with patchwork funding.

Andy Burnham's social care plan for England doesn't include people under 65 but the Scottish scheme does.
Early prisoner release in England includes men convicted of domestic violence but the Scottish scheme doesn't.
The BBC doesn't always give the full picture.

Yeah lets ignore the 300% rise in energy costs which Westminster has brought upon businesses in Scotland where they blocked Zonal Pricing as they didn't want businesses and families in England paying the highest bills instead of Scotland's
John Swinney won't be able to pop into his local for a pint any more.
Brown & Blacks in Scone is run by an entrepreneur called Katie Long.
Her story sums up everything that's wrong with business rates.
Katie put around Β£140,000 of her own money into the business. She's done everything she can to make it work.
Her energy costs have risen from Β£25,000 a year to over Β£100,000. But the real stinger is that her business rates have gone up from under Β£20,000 to over Β£52,000.
How is anyone supposed to make a living with that?
Now think about the knock-on effect: potential job losses at a time of high unemployment, which means less tax coming in and a greater burden on the state.
The First Minister has appointed Jonathan Murphy to look at rates. So here's my offer to Jonathan: let's spend a day together visiting the businesses whose livelihoods are threatened by the current system.

And yet you @BBCScotlandNews @BBCScotland wonder why youβve lost tens of thousands of licence payers and hundreds of thousands of viewers π€¨
No coverage or serious analysis on BBC Scotland of the Tory threat to impose new nuclear power stations on Scotland. Badenoch has also signalled she wants to rewrite the Scotland Act to allow her to interfere in the role of the Lord Advocate. Nothing on that either.
BBC Scotland serves no identifiable positive purpose in Scotland. Full of shallow chuckle-head magazine presenters incapable of serious examination of anything. If they're not reading auto-cues they're reading text messages.

Iβve been contacted by THREE Labour Party whistleblowers, inc. a former frontbencher, + been passed a sensitive Excel spreadsheet by a senior politician in Scotland.
The evidence is clear: Mandelson + McSweeney built a covert network of Labour MPs.
