Watching Kenny McLean, radio commentators urged caution - ready to settle for just good enough. And then a man with a reputation for caution lifted his head, spotted a possibility, trusted himself & smashed every mediocre expectation of Scots to smithereens.

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.

It's time Labour followed Scotland's lead.
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.

The transatlantic alliance and NATO are over. Scotland's future is with 500 million other Europeans. Scotland has nothing to gain & everything to lose by shackling itself to a delusional UK that robs us of our natural wealth & refuses to accept the new geopolitical reality.

With the Unionists working ever closer together in Scotland, we need to back The SNP and Scottish Greens - or face watching our Parliament neutered.

Some on benefits are 'taking the mickey', says UK minister.

Some may do so, millions do not but will be victimised by cuts.

What about those abusing the tax system, govt procurement, buying honours, impoverishing people with profiteering, selling dud products, crashing companies?

The UK is definitely heading for a hard right English nationalist take over of government. The Union as traditionally understood is over. At best, Scotland can act as an airbag in the car crash of English politics, but the problem with that is the car still crashes & the airbag gets burst.

The Scottish Parliament has just voted to pass the SNP Government's budget at stage one.

Our budget includes a record £21 billion for the NHS and scraps Labour's two-child cap.

The only parties not to vote for these policies were Labour and the Tories.
