Cuba Sends Doctors, the US Sends Sanctions
The United States calls Cuba’s medical internationalism "human trafficking" — but it’s really an internationalist lifeline for the Global South.

Well, that says a lot. They can help themselves to our oil, gas and wind power but we've to pay them for the use of the tracks on our land.
😡😡
Scottish Government contributes £659m to Network Rail for the operation & maintenance of the tracks.
In addition, Scotrail pays Network Rail £516m for Track Access Charges. These are the fees ScotRail pays to "rent" the tracks and stations.
Network Rail is owned by the UK Gov.

English Labour Party in Scotland has been given £200,000 by American healthcare firms. These firms want a return on this 'investment'.
Ever wonder why Sarwar & Baillie constantly attack and undermine our Scottish NHS?
Now you know - it's because they're paid to do this by these U.S. firms.

It's pretty obvious. This company's success would not benefit the UK. We can't have it happening in Scotland. That would be a good news story.

Fiona Bruce defending Jim Ratcliffe here. Is that part of her remit? He might have created jobs elsewhere, but he is party to running down Scotland along with the UK government. I assume they see it as short-term suffering for long-term gain as in removing the SNP from power. Remember Grangemouth.

The SNP is the only party that cares about the people of Scotland. With independence, child poverty can be eradicated with progressive policies. The UK holds us back.
Five years ago, we introduced the Scottish Child Payment.
Thanks to our actions, child poverty in Scotland is the lowest in the UK - and we’re going further by introducing a £40 payment for babies under the age of one.
Let’s keep building a fairer Scotland. On 7 May, vote SNP.

The sad thing is there are Scots who are happy to see Scotland taken down so they can bad mouth the SNP.
🇬🇧 Not only do uk governments not act in the best interests of Scotland, they now actively want Scotland to FAIL, as a way of trying to damage the image that Scots have of the SNP Scottish Government
As a result, the Devolution experiment has failed, and independence is needed

That £240m contract Palantir won after Peter Mandelson took Keir Starmer to visit them? Government asserts "there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently" but the award notice says it was a "directed award", ie without any competition.
