Just wonderful how central Government hands out this largesse. The generosity is outstanding and the yokels should cower and scrape in their humble gratitude.
Been asked for info on specific things Labour are doing for Scotland and Wales. These are not complete, many projects include one or more of the Home Nations. But it’s a few to be aware of. All searchable for the detail. Usually on Gov website.

50% of land in Scotland is owned by 421 people or entities.
Until 1999 Scottush land reform would have stalled in the House of Lords. Since devolution Scottish ministers have done nothing and the SNP blocked MSP proposals to cap an entity's land holding.
Glacial change matches the landscape.

Republicans want to strip healthcare from the poor, sick, elderly, and disabled—while showering billionaires with tax cuts. Republicans let the ultra-rich write off private jets and yachts, but take food off the plates of our most vulnerable citizens.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

UK complicit in genocide by sharing overflight surveillance data and then when facing impertinent questions outsourced to the USA private contractor to obfuscate. Not unlike the F35 global spares pot.
Data shared in real time with Isreal IDF.

A new UN report has named Keir Starmer directly, alleging complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza. It also claims the UK Government used spy planes over Gaza for purposes that went beyond the official reason of locating Hamas-held hostages.
