Replies off, so need to use the quote function. So, @Alison_S_Taylor , how do you view Andy Burnham’s reference to John Swinney even after he qualified that he didn’t know if JS knew about his father’s death? So why say it? I call it pretty despicable, personally.
A coherent plan from @andyburnham today @UKLabour Conference in #Liverpool. Andy gave a powerful speech standing up to separation, standing up to fascism, closing divides and saving our NHS. “Let’s face a changing world together with hope in our hearts and making it work for all people and all places.” An honour to be here for my constituents in #PaisleyRenfrewshireNorth

So much of what Bellicose Burnham is saying would ALREADY be policy if they hadn't done the dirty on Corbyn. Homelessness would ALREADY be eliminated, water would ALREADY be back in public ownership, as would the rest of the 'Family Silver' Thatcher sold. Our NHS would ALREADY be on the way to being fixed, and we truly WOULD be feeling hope.

A bit passive aggressive of Andy Burnham there, having a go at John Swinney. if he doesn't think JS knew about his dad, why mention the date? So much of this speech applies to England only- much of it is already in place in Scotland.

Burnham says we don’t sell food which damages our health: folic acid and flour, anyone? #Labour

Strange that if your elevated to the lords you get £300 a day for just turning up and signing in, yet if your 67 and on a state pension that’s £240 a week.

Last month, Police Scotland were reportedly stretched to breaking point according to Labour Party's Scottish branch. This weekend 200 Police Scotland officers are over in Northern Ireland to deal with a peaceful protest against an Orange Order match through a Catholic community.

Does anyone know for how long 200 @PoliceScotland officers have been lent to PSNI to deal with the OO March? Is it a weekend overtime jaunt? Asking for a country which apparently doesn’t have enough police to carry out routine duties during the week. @JohnSwinney

He wants to hear what Londoners think (“it’s a London decision”) in a consultation about Heathrow 3rd runway but won’t listen to Scots re: Indyref? Make it make sense. #Burnham #BBCLauraK

Peter The Cat' Bonetti died yesterday age 78. R.I.P. He made 729 appearances for Chelsea in a career stretching from his debut against Manchester City in April 1960 to his final appearance against Arsenal in May 1979.

Thank you. @My_Metro had the audacity to invite mobility scooter users to volunteer countless hours in inclusive design workshops of their new @LevelBoarding Cl555 trains and then banned them from using them, after promising the policy would be reviewed to allow scooter users on

And who else phones the council, then just tells Millie “I want to speak to a human”? What a waste of money.

I notice they say that it won't apply to anybody in the LCWRA group. However, if the abolition of the WCA actually happens, that designation technically won't exist. @Hossylass

This. I don’t know anyone who sits on the terraces who would welcome a return to being covered in alcohol due to the irresponsibility of others.
Only someone who watches football in executive boxes, rather than in the stands and on the terraces would think this is a good idea And I say that as someone who drinks a few pints at football every weekend

If you envy someone getting a meagre sum to live on with a disability because they can't work, do you also envy their disability? Do you envy all the difficulties that come with it? Most of which you probably can't even imagine. Do you envy the endless Dr/Consultant/therapy appointments? Disabled people can have worse outcomes for medical care and often receive limited therapies or care. Do you envy knowing that you would live with that debilitating condition & all it's difficulties for the rest of your life? Do you envy the pain? For chronic pain, pain relief is considered a success if it takes away 10% of the pain, so pain is often constant & severe, there is no relief from it. Do you envy the awful side effects from medication or treatments? Being on long term medication requires tests which can be blood tests or more invasive ones, some tests as often as every 3 months. Some medications have side effects that require further medications to manage the side effects. It's not a case of saying just don't take them, these could be life saving medications. Or is it that you envy the small amount of money they get to survive because they're getting something you can't? Because the #media and #MPs have told you that they're worthless, a burden & don't deserve support? #ChallengeTheNarrative #disabilityrights #PunchDownMedia #disabilitybenefits #humanrights

Reporting Scotland, May 2024 - GB Energy will create 53,000 new jobs in Scotland. Reporting Scotland, Sept 2026 - GB Energy will create 10,000 new jobs in Scotland. No mention of the 2024 election pledge. This is censorship. Laura Miller should be embarrassed by this.

#70UpTheVictorians could have been really interesting if it hadn’t been so heavily edited and dumbed down. I wanted to hear the subjects speak, but they weren’t given much time. What a missed opportunity. They were the same age as my grandparents.
