We are devolved.
For the time being Streetings attacks on the disabled won’t affect this.
However, it WILL affect our block grant next time if they win with those cuts.
#Scottishindependence means WM won’t affect us at all in the future with any budget cuts

If, 30 odd years ago you'd bottled up the shite that killed the original spirit of the Glastonbury festival, then splattered it all over the Tor here and now, it would look like this.
A fucking abomination to the spirit of the Stonehenge and Glastonbury festivals.

I had a stroke in 2020 which left me with lifelong disabilities. After a long fight I eventually got PIP. Yet someone who has a stroke in 2026 and ends up as disabled as me may not be eligible for PIP. That's unfair, injust & will be a permanent stain on the record of any MP who votes for it.

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences?
This is where we show them how solidarity works.

We were repeatedly told that the notion Boris Johnson could become prime minister was nonsense.
Let us learn from this very real lesson. Let us take seriously the fact there is a very real and credible possibility that Nigel Farage could enter Downing Street.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments.
It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap.
It was wrong to slash disability benefits.
Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

Roughly 17,000 councillors in the UK. Nearly 6500 Labour. Just over 5000 Tory. 3000 Lib Dem.
Reform have 799 and suddenly N.F. is being touted by the media as the next Prime Minister?
The Green Party have 850 councillors. Why aren't the Green Party being bigged-up by the press?
Seriously, why?

What does Scotland get for its circa billion plus contribution ?
Apart from a much bigger “Scottish apportioned share “ of the U.K. deficit in the discredited Gers statistics. Yet we can't get roads like the A9 & A96 dualled. I'm sure if we stopped paying for English vanity projects we would.
