If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much.

If you read social media posts from Labour claiming to support SNP policies, e.g. free tuition, Scottish Child Payment, etc.
Remember, labour abstained last week on the budget that pays for these SNP policies and in previous years voted against the budget!!!

Anas Sarwar now says he cannot save Grangemouth because it is a private company.
It was also a private company before the election, when he said he would save it.

The way she is treating Scotland anyone could be forgiven for believing the Chancellor is acting as a first class recruiting officer for Independence😊
Rachel Reeves has given Oxford & Cambridge 'the worlds best Universities' £200b, while the actual best university for the last 5 years, St Andrews gets nothing. Are you YES yet? 🏴

Most certainly this. The blocking of the DRS scheme was, in my opinion, just nastiness by WM. Johnston admitted that the Internal Market Act was introduced to frustrate Scotland. If we have any pride at all then that act should make us all indy supporters.
So England bans Scotland from having DRS but lets Wales go ahead. Then announces DRS for England & NI. Leaving Scotland only nation in UK without one. FFS, people. How much longer are you going to accept this constant undermining of our interests by London?

The Scottish Parliament withheld consent for Brexit. Westminster ignored it and went ahead anyway. With no plan.

So, what Patel is confirming here is that they passed the legislation to do Brexit without a plan as to how it would actually work.
She literally admits their gross irresponsibility and stupidity but she isn’t cognitively capable of understanding the horror of that admission.

Even worse when you remember is sitting on the very assets that generate so much benefit for WM. If only those assets were in Scotland's hands to use for Scots..........
❗ Openly bragging about hitting the pockets of the poorest is one of the Labour Prime Minister's most shameful comments yet in a sorry 7 months in office.
🥀 It goes against everything his party is meant to stand for. Scotland can do so much better than this.
