📣 “How can you justify this continuing refusal to allow the people of Scotland to have a say on their own future?”

🔥 @mrjamesob tears into the news that @ScotParl cannot legislate for #indyref without Westminster approval - regardless of how Scotland votes.

[Scotland's Census @Scotscensus]

Could your charity make use of chromebooks and phones used by the #ScotlandsCensus2022 field staff this year?

BBC Wales is reporting that the Welsh and UK Govts are both offering nurses between 4% and 5.5% increases. The Scottish Govt is offering between 5.41% and 11.32% for the majority of AfC staff. Why isn't BBC Scotland reporting this? This is vital context given Unionist attacks.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Average pay offer for nurses.
Scotland - 7%
England - 4.75%
Wales - 4.75%

Average salary for nurses.
Scotland - £36,641
England - £33,384
Wales - £36,636

Which party is responsible?
Scotland - SNP
England - Conservative
Wales - Labour

This is important context. Please share.

#Stirling Council’s minority-Labour administration - propped up with Tory support - has come under fire, as yet another key Council meeting was postponed despite mounting financial challenges facing the battered local authority. https://t.co/9I3gcqhSue

What I meant was: if I lived in Scotland, rather than London, I would VOTE for Scottish independence

Starmer - a car crash interview with @mmgeissler on #BBCSundayShow. Could not answer any of the questions on a referendum, independence or the plan for Scotland (other than our resources keeping the UK lights on). At least he said the Union is a voluntary arrangement. #LetsGo

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

BREAKING

BBC Scotland has changed the headline on the Starmer article to remove his comment about too many overseas workers in the NHS.

[Lesley Riddoch @LesleyRiddoch]

Who prepares Labour leaders for trips to Scotland? There must be a family whose grip of the briefing function spans generations. Cos a stumbling Keir Starmer just hit the brick wall of Scottish political reality on #bbcsundayshow - like every recent Labour leader before him.

[Graham Houston @Cooncillor]

@OTVStirling @DunblaneCC @AlasdairTgreens @StirlingCouncil Great contribution from local residents. The council needs to support this if we are going to make a substantial difference. Communication is vital.

[Graham Houston @Cooncillor]

@scotgov @ElenaWhitham Congratulations. Great appointment.

[Stirling Council @StirlingCouncil]

in 2016, only 47 British MPs & Lords held an Irish passport
- by 2021, that figure went up to 227
- in 2022, there are now 321 of them with an Irish passport

Our ruling class seems to have remained in Europe. People next?
