Scotland has the highest proportion of college students - 1.6m in England, 218k in Scotland, 127k in Wales, 37k in N.Ireland.

Completion rates for apprenticeships show: England 53%, Wales 66%, N.Ireland 48%, Scotland 70-80 % for much of the last decade.

And no tuition fees!

SNP-run Falkirk council has only now succeeded in paying off Labour's PFI bill after 25 years, as its c£65m initial cost was bloated by pfi loan payments to more than 300m. Don't let Labour do it again.

Apparently Charlie Kirk is getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, posthumously.

For all the tremendous, tremendous good work he did for his country.

this post will never not make me snort
No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.

My latest blog piece - Holyrood 2026, an election of unknowns. But it remains a certainty that only a vote for a pro- independence party which can win a seat will keep hopes of independence alive.

Every time living standards fall, Nigel Farage blames migration.

And every time, Keir Starmer nods along.

People are struggling with the cost of living and blaming migration won’t fix that.
