A quote from Professor Sir Chris Whitty CMO for England: "Just to acknowledge the really great work done in Scotland. Scotland has actually blazed a trail in many areas of Public Health." Listening to WM's broadcasters you'd be surprised to hear it . @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews

But this is not U.K.'s response; this was WESTMINSTER'S response!

Many of us were looking north to Nicola Sturgeon's daily updates; until the BBC started cutting them as they were showing up Johnson, Whitty and van Tamm et al for how bad they were.

I'm no scientist but could see what was happening

So long as we allow them to continue to take our oil, fish, renewables and whisky without a fight they will do whatever the hell they want to us and know we'll moan about it but do nothing. It's time we stood up to the thieving bully that is WM.

If 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 was already independent, and WM comes along with the offer of joining in a Union, as long as we pay all our revenues to them, we pay them taxes, and we give up the rights to vast areas of our land, and all our waters.
Would we do it?🤷‍♂️

People in Scotland want an asylum system that is controlled, that they have confidence in, and that shows compassion.

The Home Secretary’s proposals do none of these things.

We need a humane, effective and efficient system 🧡

In the UK, the single leading cause of death for men under 50 is suicide.

Three-quarters of all suicides in the UK are by men. This issue needs to be taken more seriously.

Vulnerability is not weakness. Open up and talk. End the stigma.
There is a frightening increase in deaths by suicide, especially among men. They are 3.7 times more likely than women to end their lives.

We need to continue to make societal changes across Europe, to create safe & affordable spaces.

Mental health is political.

Their aim is to weaken Scotland's ability to stand on its own financially. Which we have been doing successfully for almost two decades. Imagine if we had full fiscal autonomy how we could all benefit from our nation prospering in the international markets.

Dounreay nuclear power station last produced electricity 30+ years ago, yet decontamination is expected to last until the 2070s and cost £8Bn, with full decontamination of the site estimated to take more than 300 years. Now Westminster wants to build *more* nuclear power stations in Scotland.

Tories and Labour's collusion on freeports and SEZs would form stepping stones for charter cities.
The latest proposal for a new city named "Forest City" exemplifies the stealth trajectory of the zonification of Britain. www.forestcity.uk

Imagine coming to a country after fleeing war, miserable and impoverished, possibly traumatised. All you have is some family jewellery, maybe your dead mother's necklace. And then they take it away. Cruelty beyond belief. What is the UK doing?!?!
Imagine having a thumping majority in parliament and deciding to use it for something as squalid as this.

TACO is giving “permission” for the Epstein files vote because he already lost that vote,

and he would rather pretend he’s OK with it than be humiliated by the loss.

His plan is to get DOJ to scuttle the actual release. Which they will.

And this will drag out for the next 11 months. Thanks TACO!

In 1980, my cousin walked out of Iran aged sixteen.
Nine months with no contact.
Nearly a decade before he saw his father again.
Today, boys like him are painted as threats instead of survivors.
So I wrote the truth.
