Scotland needs more carers, but Westminster is driving them away.
Labour’s hostile immigration plans and their tax on jobs are hammering Scotland’s social care sector.
With the fresh start of independence, we can build a migration system suited to our needs and interests.

Does anyone actually know what Keir Starmer thinks about Brexit?
My view hasn’t changed: Brexit is a disaster, Scotland belongs in Europe, so let’s become independent and join the EU with our own seat at the table.

Superb meeting this eve in Edinburgh with @humzayousaf.bsky.social talking about the situation in Gaza. He said it is undoubtedly genocide and he stressed the very limited nature of the current 'ceasefire' with aid still very limited and no external journalists allowed into Gaza.

“This Bill… brings all of that into the open.”
Former Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill said the assisted dying Bill would replace the current lack of oversight - which criminalises compassion and hinders proper investigation - with clear, regulated safeguards.
