For anyone who has been interested in my lawsuit against the Sun, the news is that I’ve had to settle my claim out of court before it gets to trial. A 🧵…
Privatisation has financialised everything, with toxic results.
It isn't just water, look at
Rail
Buses
Mail
Energy
Social care
NHS
Council services
People pay more for less. Profits come before people.
Yet major parties are in awe of corporations and won't end the scams.
Transport Scotland:
“Since ScotRail moved into public sector, we have added over 200 additional services each weekday, offering 7% more seats. Passenger numbers have increased by 75% from 46.7 million in 2021/22 to around 82 million in 2023/24."
Why spin for the Tories? 😡
With all this talk of Thames Water going bust it's worth pointing out that publicly owned Scottish Water didn't spend billions on shareholder dividends. The results are clear to see.
People might wonder why one Strong Scottish Woman standing up for 🏴 is hounded 24/7 by media,police tents outside her wee 3 bed house, and massive police search?Yet Leader of another party accused of serious crime to be left alone? Mmmm?🤔
This is worth watching for the cognitive dissonance on display. As far as I can tell, the arguement is that implementing Brexit in the form of a customs and regulatory border between the U.K. and EU damages Brexit.
@J4m35c4mpb3ll The unionists party's are pretty clear about their intentions of breaking up the NHS,so anyone who is undecided should be careful of what they wish for.
Never trust a red or blue Tory with the NHS.
@AlexRowleyFife Train stations in Scotland are run by Network Rail — a UKGov run company.
But then you know that, Alex.
🇬🇧Scottish Labour — lying to the 🏴Scottish public.
OVER 4 MILLION CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY
ONE MILLION CHILDREN LIVING IN DESTITUTE HOMES
UK NOW RANKS WORST AMONG RICHEST COUNTRIES IN CHILD POVERTY LEVELS
AND ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS SMALL BOATS IN THE CHANNEL!
PLEASE WAKE UP!!

It’s been a horrible few days. My family in the Catholic Church in Gaza city are reporting white phosphorous and gunfire into their compound. The bin collector and the janitor have been shot and their bodies are laying outside and remain uncollected. 1/2
The Prime Minister used the final #PMQs of the year to mislead the public on everything from the economy to police numbers to child poverty. Watch in disbelief
The UK Government's decision not to provide budget uplifts in line with inflation means real-terms cuts to Scotland's funding.
📉£700 million less for day to day spending, including the NHS, schools and public pay deals
📉£230 million less for infrastructure
ℹ️ 22/23 to 24/25
This is serious.
Think of all the benefits you've had in your workplace. Basic rights not to be sacked on the whim of an owner or boss. Rights to claim for bullying or worse.
All of this because of others who fought for them.
Now the govt is planning to strip many rights away 😡
There is nothing they won't do to destroy what's good in this country.
@PeterStefanovi2
I'm fuming.
King Charles,through Duchy of Lancaster, received over £60m in 10 yrs from people without known blood relative dying without making a will
NOTE: Duchy of Cornwall (Prince William) does the same
Royal income is not accountable like a public body (it should be) so a difficult investigation for @guardian 👏🏼
ROYAL RESOLUTION today
Invest £100m into "ethical funds" & keep collecting the money
OUR RESOLUTION
STOP taking the money AND give what you have taken already to charities in those areas.
Imagine the difference that would make
2 wks ago Michelle Mone finally admitted she was primary contact for £200m PPE contracts & husband Barrowman, Chair of the Consortium.
I hope criminal proceedings follow soon
BTW if I was still with BBC, this post would specifically not be allowed
