Your most recent reminder that, if you want to keep the Tories out, the Scottish Labour party cannot be trusted with your vote.

This alone should be reason not to vote Labour next year. Their Thatcherite legacy lives on in PFI schemes that continue to rob the public purse and public sector workers to this day, due to cost the Scottish taxpayer around £1.1bn this year with £13bn still to be paid.

Strange how there's no magic money tree for Scotland or Wales but a bottomless pit of money for England.
Why is the Labour government considering nationalising British Steel's Scunthorpe plant owned by Chinese owner Jingye.
When that option wasn't open to either Grangemouth or Port Talbot, both equally important to the Scottish and Welsh economies.

Whoever could have foreseen that the corporatisation and monopolisation of the free press would be a terrible idea.
Gannett - which owns Newsquest, publisher of The Herald, Glasgow Times, and heaps of Scottish locals - has opted to comply in advance with Trump’s executive orders by wiping all reference to equality and diversity from its website.
Gannett will stop publishing diversity information, citing Trump’s executive order
The company also removed mentions of "diversity" from its corporate site.

Jeez. A clip has emerged of Donald Trump in the Oval Office discussing how people made money in the recent market fluctuations as a result of his tariffs.
"He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

I’m delighted to see that the SNP government has delivered over 36,000 baby boxes across NHS Grampian since they were introduced in 2017.
In total, 335,775 boxes have now been distributed to parents across Scotland since the start of the project.

President Trump walked back his steep tariffs on nearly 100 nations that had gone into effect just hours earlier, a shocking reversal that sent stocks soaring. He announced simultaneously that he would raise tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%

Next year we'll go further and scrap the two child cap, taking even more children out of poverty.

Christina McKelvie saw the very best in people, and growing up she also saw firsthand the injustice faced by her family and her community.
Her experiences made her determined to address the many injustices facing society.
We will carry on that fight in Christina’s honour.
