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.

Davie reigns nut in Scotland:-

BBC Scotland has had to issue yet another correction after giving out false figures relating to drug deaths. We've lost count of the corrections and apologies the BBC has had to make after broadcasting false claims. The falsehoods always negatively impact the SNP.

Nandy lying…who would have believed that…only when her lips are moving…🔴Tory Charlatan!
Left: Lewis Gooddall challenges Lisa Nandy over her lies in parliament over Maccabi, she doubles down on her lies

Right: The police advice confirming Lisa Nandy lied

Keir Starmer, Shabana Mahmood and Lisa Nandy, all told the same lie, they conflated public safety with antisemitism

“All that’s left is shame.” That and at least 69,000 murdered Palestinian civilians.

Are we to assume that the British government didn't know all that was going on, whilst continuing to support the Israeli government?

It's incredible the things the state broadcaster takes responsibility for & what it does not. Months of Israeli propaganda, nothing. One episode that told the truth about Trump's involvement in J6th&heads must roll. Suggests both foreign involvement & a politicised broadcaster.

I've been getting pushback from Labour loyalists for my last posts.
