Westminster’s called the shots for too long... but Scotland’s been watching.
They said staying in the UK kept us in the EU.
They said energy would be cheaper.
They said we were a union of equals.
Enough talk. It’s time to banish Westminster.

The Real Living Wage has delivered a pay boost to 72,000 Scottish workers.
I visited Capital City Partnership to mark a record 4,000 Real Living Wage employers in Scotland - proportionately that’s around 5 times more than the rest of the UK.

Quite the thing to witness Fife Labour not only beholden to and proposing motions (about Coalfields) with the Tory’s but now relying on and negotiating with Reform to get their policy positions through Fife Council meetings.

If you missed it (extra, due to Bluesky crash) late last night, results of the Glenrothes Central and Thornton by-election.
Won't get to charting til late this evening, but final round was SNP 53.7% (+2.6), Lab 29.1% (-10.4), Didn't Transfer 17.2% (+7.8); pretty dire for Labour, this one.

The SNP has just won two by-elections from Labour in Glasgow. No wonder with their cuts to the disabled and more austerity planned. No wonder Anas Sarwar is in trouble. Watch this and share👇
