Credit rating company Moody's rated the Scottish government as Aa3 while rivals S&P Global rated it as AA, both identical to the UK's sovereign rating
news came as the Scottish government was given the same status as the UK by two global credit rating companies.

These satirical accounts are getting harder and harder to spot
I support Sir Keir Starmer.

He is our PM and must remain as PM.

This speculation about his future needs to stop.

The media have it in for him and he is actually doing a bloody good job.

In Scotland, we're working hard to undo the damage being inflicted by Labour in Westminster.

Last day in Cairo and we went out to our favourite Lebanese restaurant for lunch. Moutabal, muhammara and hummus to start, with unlimited baladi bread. 🤌

Why is everyone using his new Mountbatten-Windsor name? Don’t be fooled by the diversion; he’s a royal.
Not only his behaviour but also the attempted cover-up by his mother and brother should be investigated. #abolishthemonarchy

One of the most blatant lies I can remember from BBC Scotland (and that's saying something.) Basically a copy/paste of a Scottish Tory press release. The actual figure involved was £23,000 over 3 years. The BBC has added wages that would be paid whether the staff involved were in Turkey or not.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

If you live in Scotland (or even just over the Boarder) and have a bike you're thinking of selling, have you considered offering it to Bikes for Refugees Scotland? They provide bikes to refugees awaiting confirmation of status (adults and children) so they can get around/get to school etc. Link 👇

I currently find this a very poignant song. Worth a listen.
It’s a lament for the era that England stood for something.

How Scottish social media is done. This is my local mobile dish and chip van. Probably need to be able to speak Scots to understand this. 🤣
