Scottish, Independence for 🏴 supporter. Been a proud mum to a wonderful Cocker Spaniel for 17 years. Want sanity to return to politics and support a return to 🇪🇺. Had X account, sad to see the platform descend into a poor shadow of itself, so left.
Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

When the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - UK was on course to make list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights. Is it any wonder they want us to join Russia & Belarus as only European countries outside the ECHR

“If the people of Scotland return an SNP government, regardless if it’s a minority or majority, then that would be a mandate for a second referendum. It’s not up to the likes of me who live in England. This is the decision for the people of Scotland to make.” Starmer, STV, 2025. What a hypocrite.

Child poverty has fallen in just 12 of the UK’s 650 constituencies in the last decade - all of them in Scotland.
Across England, child poverty is rising.

If Labour at Westminster can nationalise British Steel, why not the same for Grangemouth?
If it can fund London’s supercomputer, it can reinstate Edinburgh’s.
If it green-lights carbon capture in England, the north-east of Scotland must follow.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
