Child poverty rose in Labour-run England, but it fell in SNP-run Scotland.
Analysis by the Child Poverty Action Group puts this down to the Scottish Child Payment.

Scotland is the only UK nation that is reducing child poverty — Scottish National Party
The Labour Government are putting more children into poverty. It's time they changed course and followed Scotland's lead.

Sarwar insists there's no austerity under Labour as Govt spending is rising.
According to ukgovernmentspending.co.uk, UK Govt spending rose in the years of Conservative austerity, from £673.1bn in 2010 to £852.35 bn in 2019. By Sarwar's definition there was no austerity under the Tories either.

Blair McDougall was the architect of 'Project Fear' during the 2014 referendum.
He claimed that Independence would bring about "massive cuts" to welfare benefits. Now as a Labour MP, he is backing those very cuts.
With Labour, Scotland always loses. #AreYouYesYet #TwaCheeksSameArse

With recent revelations, what many of us realised from day 1 has been confirmed. Alba was & is an Alex Salmond fan club and primarily a vehicle for his revenge against the SNP. If the indy movement really is to work together, Alba must fundamentally change, or die of irrelevance.

I had a VERY low opinion of Trump before today, but his response to the DC air crash, leaping to blame 'DEI' - code for black people, women & the disabled - for the crash, after he fired 100 FAA staff, & not showing the slightest empathy for 67 grieving families shows what a piece of trash he is.

I got some watercolour stuff as a present from my daughter.
Eventually got round to trying them out. Definitely tricky but it’ll be fun to learn.

In BBC coverage, mentions of Israeli and Palestinians deaths competed for space since 7th October.
That's despite far more Palestinian deaths.
There's one exception - a huge spike in the mentions of Palestinian deaths in early April.
The reason for this should disturb you.
