BREAKING: Scotland's Parliament has unanimously voted for compensation for Waspi women.

100% true
Ultimately Trump won't fulfill a single one of his promises, because he doesn't have to. He won the vote and got a 4 year dictatorship.
Political Parties should have to follow legally binding manifesto's, and if they don't an election should be called.
That would be democracy.

Very welcome news that unemployment in Scotland has fallen to 3.8% and is lower than the rest of the UK.
Scotland’s economy has grown faster than the rest of the UK, but we need to do more to deliver growth and progress - I will be setting out views in a speech tomorrow.

That’s why I’m posting it today.
