Do you remember the BBC reporting "no difference in outcomes" just before the Inquiry came up to Edinburgh? This table below was what was presented at the Welsh visit just a few weeks later. It wasn't reported in scotland.

The "appropriate response" is to broadcast everything that Trump did and said on that appalling day for American democracy and then to tell this moron to sling his hook.
I might be wrong, but this stinks of Pharage involvement.

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Rather than debate whether Prince Andrew loses his title, I’d prefer him taken to a police station, interviewed under caution and - if the investigating officers believe they have sufficient evidence - charged and prosecuted. If a jury later finds him guilty like any citizen he should then be jailed

Labour said they’d fix this - but on their watch, our energy bills are going up.
With independence, we can use our energy wealth to benefit people and bring bills down. That’s the fresh start Scotland needs. 🏴
