Westminster bails out two English companies as 'essential' but fails to give the same support to similarly important industries in Scotland and Wales.

For a 'just transition' that works for Scotland’s people, we need #ScottishIndependence

Chef's kiss for the Labour clowns if they end up destroying the NHS as well as their own party with their ruinous jackbooted approach to immigration. That's a very special level of failure.

Starmer is rapidly nearing the top of the list of worst prime ministers.
