The cost of living under Labour continues to soar. Energy bills have risen again, food prices are climbing, and inflation in the UK is far higher than in other European countries. Families across Scotland are struggling to make ends meet while promises from UKgov are unfulfilled.
This is outrageous. UKGov wants to reclassify Coastguard Rescue Officers as "volunteers" so they can get out of paying them an hourly wage when they go out to save lives. sign the petition to demand the Gov scrap plans to strip rescue heroes of their pay: https://t.co/HZGw0w629Z
An English mayor, who was elected by 25,000 people in England & who will now be Prime Minister tells Scotland it will not be allowed to vote on its own future: https://t.co/cd8cg5x76c Yet they tell Scots that we are in an equal union. We are being held prisoner.
@NeoliberalAkiho@Davey2028 You are probably unaware that the SNP are a left of centre party, are pro immigration and support LGBTQ rights. Most of the issues come from unionists and their pro Israel, anti immigration and hate of the LGBTQ community.
The disappearance of 'Scottish Labour' from the news cycle is a giveaway that it isn't a genuine party. Genuine political parties don't disappear after electoral collapse. They become the subject of debate over strategy. Leadership contenders emerge. Their predicament is news.
This isn't happening with Scottish Labour. There's just no interest in reviewing the Holyrood election or Sarwar's role in the defeat. Why is that?
It isn't a party. That's why. It's a UK Labour media centre. Scottish Labour is a de-facto extension of the very media that should be scrutinising it. It is a conduit set up to feed the likes of Paul Hutcheon, Glenn Campbell and others with SNPBad attack ammunition.
It isn't there to craft policy. The wellbeing of Scotland is not its priority. That's why it's pushing nuclear power stations. It's there to assist an ally, the anti-SNP media, to create and push anti-SNP narratives.
The media isn't interested in pursuing Sarwar. He's an asset. That's why he was able to call on Starmer to resign only days after giving the PM his full backing. Indeed his media colleagues framed the transparent stunt as an act of bravery. They used it as an excuse *not* to confront Sarwar on Labour's horrendous record and the GB Energy con.
Whoever replaces Sarwar, if he resigns, will back Andy Burnham to the hilt no matter what the PM in waiting says about Scotland. They'll issue statements of support whilst attacking the SNP. That's what a media centre does.
The 'pressure' apparently being mounted on John Swinney [if you believe BBC Scotland] to adopt English style mayors is being applied by someone called Andrew Carter. We've never heard of him. But here's a picture of Carter with Andy Burnham. Make of it what you will.
Andy Burnham has blamed the 'right to buy' for the shortage of social housing in Scotland.
In 2001 the then Scottish Housing Minister extended the 'right to buy' scheme. The minister? Jackie Baillie.

Police stop an Ambulance with flashing lights so a VIP can pass.
One video that shows everything wrong with the UK.
We need to stop letting the rich piss all over us.
Burnham doesn’t live in Scotland
Burnham isn’t registered to vote in Scotland
Burnham doesn’t understand Scotland
Burnham doesn’t speak for Scotland
Why the fuck does he think he has the right to tell Scotland what it can and can’t do?!

Delighted that the black English players did so well. They are key to a successful English football team. Harry Kane is world class and it took a move to Germany to cement that. I hope to rub England football success in the face of racists.
Government promises to act after 'shocking' failings in maternity care in England.
100 times worse than the QEU hospital scandal yet no political weaponising. No opposition politicians demanding resignations or arrests. The BBC operates a different editorial policy for the Scottish NHS.

@ColinMetcalf3 You are factually incorrect of course. I am a white man. I was only stating that the black England players doing well is a good thing. I didnt attack white people nor say either were superior.
If BBC BritNat was serious about covering the Burnham circus from a Scottish angle it would start by asking Anas Sarwar which additional powers should be devolved. Immigration? Energy? Borrowing? Drugs? What policies should change. Scrap UK Internal Market Act? NI type EU deal for Scotland? De-couple gas from electricity?
The station won't pose these questions to Sarwar or his deputy Baillie because neither has the authority to answer them. Both are told by London what their view is. They have to wait for Burnham to decide what it is. To ask them right now is to expose them for what they are. Powerless puppets.
