A quote from Professor Sir Chris Whitty CMO for England: "Just to acknowledge the really great work done in Scotland. Scotland has actually blazed a trail in many areas of Public Health." Listening to WM's broadcasters you'd be surprised to hear it . @BBCNews@SkyNews@itvnews
Under the SNP's leadership Scotland has a strong economic track record.
We've been assigned our first credit ratings and they match the UK & are better than major global economies like Japan.
We should be proud of the strength of Scotland's economy.

Unionists don't like it
"opposition in this Parliament cannot cope when there's anything good said about Scotland." "This is a day for Scotland to be proud of Scotland's economic record"

“May by thy mighty aid,

“May he sedition hush,
“And like a torrent rush,
“Rebellious Scots to crush,
“God Save the King."
🔍 The Scotsman has called out the Tories for issuing a press release falsely claiming that ScotRail spent £2 million on replacement buses since 2022.
🚌 But - the majority of that spending was due to engineering work by Network Rail - which is run by the UK Government.
🚨 BREAKING: The King and Prince William are using their estates "largely seized by medieval monarchs" for tax-free deals with government departments to maintain their wealth
The King will charge a London NHS Trust over £11 million in 15 years for ambulance parking at a duchy warehouse, while the Ministry of Justice pays £1.5m a year to William's duchy for Dartmoor prison
The royals also charge for crossing rivers, offloading cargo, running cables under beaches, operating schools and charities, and even digging graves

@JolyonMaugham You do realise that the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Atholl & Anders Holch Povlsen all live in Scotland? Why do English people continually refer to the UK as England? It's hugely insulting to other parts of the UK.
The thing is Labour knows Scotland has particular population and demography difficulties and we are the only part of the UK whose population is set to decline in the 2030s. The other thing is they just don't care. https://t.co/Mj2zuXJyru
And that would be detrimental for many generations - and not just for the US but for the whole world.
When I listen to interviews with US voters, many have no clue about climate science and no idea about the far-reaching consequences of their vote. 1/2
The #globalwarming will be irreversible and will last for thousands of years due to the long residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere. We’re being catapulted out of the Holocene by irresponsible leaders. Read what it’s like! 2/2
It is shameful that the Labour Party accepted its largest ever donation from a hedge fund profiting from the production of weaponry used by Israel in its genocide in Gaza.
This money is stained with blood and should be returned immediately.
🚨 BREAKING: Patients on mental health wards with "serious mental health problems" will be visited by job coaches to get them back to work, says Labour.
The policy is part of Liz Kendall's plan to cut welfare. Kendall said: "I want to see those costs coming down".

Labour want to build a string of giant dams across mountain landscapes. Several hydro projects, targeting up to a dozen lochs, are already at the planning stage. Many are centred around Loch Ness, where critics say the projects will damage the environment
