Just a gif of the EU flag projected onto the London Eye as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's London's New Year's Day fireworks 😀
The UK is £90 billion a year poorer because of Brexit i.e. tax rises and spending cuts, it's absurd
One day soon the madness will end and the UK will #RejoinEU ☺️

Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling, and we are going further to continue that progress:
✅ Scottish Child Payment will be uprated to £28.20 per week.
✅ New £40 Scottish Child Payment premium for babies under 12 months old.

Because of this Budget, NHS waiting times will keep falling and GP numbers will keep rising.
We're delivering record funding for our NHS, which includes funding for the launch of walk-in GP clinics - helping you get the care you need, where you need it.

Budgets are about choices, and we choose fairness.
We’re asking the very wealthiest to pay a bit more through developing a new mansion tax and a Scottish private jet tax - while ensuring more Scots pay less income tax, and expanding cost of living support.

There you have it in black and white.
Let Deform anywhere near Holyrood or WM and you can kiss goodbye to our free NHS. Look at the US where health care is privatised and you have to pay for everything, and where bankruptcy faces if you can't.
Independence is the only sure way to escape that.

A free NHS Scotland, or a United Kingdom. Choose one, because you can't have both (regardless of who's in charge in Westminster).

Some Tories seem to be 'saving' their ongoing incomes by slipping into bed with Farage. What happened to the moderate paternalistic Tories are they couched in private estates, enjoying the leather seating in the Hof l. or just ceased to be?

Kind of ironic that The Scotsman is an English propaganda tool.

Does anyone know when the previous Tory Government of Boris Johnson will be arrested for killing thousands and stealing billions from us?
Should they not be proscribed?
UK society is a horrific disgrace allowing that organisation to continue as though absolutely nothing criminal happened.
