Seeing as Jamie Green as left the Tories in Scotland does this mean he has found his conscious or will he join one of the other two London parties

So they're going to double the size of Luton airport and this will create 11,000 jobs and £1 billion of growth according to Reeves, not in Scotland, Wales and the North of England it won't, yet more investment into the giant leech of London and the surrounding areas

It fascinates me that giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy, but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad. 🤔

ECONOMICS: 101 👇

For those who weren’t paying attention in economics class: when poor people earn money, they spend it and boost the economy.

When rich people earn money, they stash it away in offshore accounts, where it does nothing but gather interest…

Tax the wealthy, NOW!

Every year the Scandanavians come out top of the happiness index with Britain and the US way down the list, yet the have high taxes etc so they must be doing something right. Why don't we aspire to be like them instead of copying the shitshow across the water

This was the truly shameful moment when an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor was dragged in for interrogation by the Met police because he attended an anti-genocide rally.

Genuinely, what have we become?

My god things must be really bad when even Martin Geissler is asking Midlothisn Labour MP Kirsty McNeil "what has the Labour Party become" today as she tried to defend benefits cuts to the disabled. Think that's something we all know the answer to, something worse than the Tories

Just seen that former MSP Neil Findlay has resigned from the Labour Party as he's had enough of their attacks on the poor and the vulnerable

If the UK Energy Industry was nationalised your energy costs would be 1/4 of what they are.

3/4's is profit and CEO wages from dozens of different companies.

That's why the prices haven't come down and they never will.

For too long, the Diageo 'tail' has been wagging the Scotch Whisky 'dog'.

We need a Scotch Whisky Tourism Strategy and Budget, to return Scotch Whisky, to Scotland. These fantastic places are the face of modern Scotch.

To those who say the Scottish NHS is in disarray because of the SNP - you are grossly misinformed.

The Scottish NHS is performing far better than England and is suffering from 14 years of Tory cuts, lack of investment and privatisation foisted on us by extreme right wing Tory ideology.
