It's precisely because British media outlets have long been fixed in favour of the neoliberal junktanks which wrote her mini-budget that the Truss disaster happened.

Sometimes I feel hopeless about what is happening to the NHS and what people are doing about it. I think we either need to go all in, find the millions of people who care and get a *lot* louder, or we give up.
I want to go all in, but I can’t go all in alone. Share if you think we need to fight.

Something for #indyclan peeps to have on file for handy use next time an anti-Indy person laments the money ScotGov ‘wastes’ on various projects they don’t like or moans about the cost of an independence referendum (£16m in 2014).

The BiS poll shows that faced with a choice between a socially just independent Scottish republic or a UK which protects inherited wealth & privilege while public services crumble & Farage is waiting in the wings, Scots overwhelmingly opt for indy.

A THIRD of all UK Food and Drink Exports are Scottish.
There's only 5 and a half million Scottish people. There's another 92% of UK folk!

UK's high energy costs are creating poverty and killing people.
Energy profiteering is increasing business costs and destroying jobs.
During a debate on "Get Britain Working" I asked a Minister to control energy costs.
See what you make of the Minister's reply.

England uses more electricity than it produces, yet manages to export 5.1 TWh to Europe.
Scotland produces more electricity than it uses and transfers 19TWh to England.
This 'export' appears as income to England, but they are re-selling electricity from Scotland!

Oh come on Labour - so depressing to hear Pat McFadden say UK has no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. We have schemes with NZ, Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Uruguay & more - only reason not to have one with EU is fear of right wing press. Such cowardice @bbclaurak.bsky.social

Scotch Whisky is 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports.
When you add 'Scotch' Beef and Lamb, Fish, Gin, Beer, Seafood, Dairy, Fruit (most strawberries and raspberries) and Vegetables, it's a ridiculous, MASSIVE imbalance. What's the Food and Drink Export TOTAL?
Why are we not already Independent?

So this is the BBC blaming Nurses for the economy.
Nurses who have lost 20-30% of their pay in ten years.
Nothing to do with greedy CEOs and record private profits?
Nothing to do with government incompetence?
No. Blame the nurses. Seriously BBC?!?!
How dare you!
