625k people voted SNP on the regional list. It returned 1 MP.
383k people voted reform on regional list. It returned 17 MPs.
Did people not learn from previous election? A monumental waste, & im certain if folk voted for another pro indy party that reform number is lower too.
You have to admit, today's Scottish results for the SNP and particularly the Scottish Greens are pretty remarkable considering 99% of the news media were briefing against them on a daily basis. Imagine if we had an independent press. 🤔
we do not think the same, we do not vote the same, we do not prioritise the same things.
we are not the same country.
dissolve the union.

Crazy isn't it Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party had an 'antisemitism crisis' and now Zack Polanski's Green Party does.
While Nigel Farage's Reform party, with Nigel Farage and loads of Nazi lovers, doesn't.
It's like it's some kind of scam used against Left Wing parties.
Another major war crime. The Iranian diaspora should be outraged. Desalination plants are protected under international humanitarian law, specifically the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit targeting infrastructure indispensable to the survival of the civilian population.
If this had happened in any Western city, the news would have run in newspapers and television channels round-the-clock for over a week, whipping up anger against the perpetrators. But since the murderers in this case are zionists and white americans, it has been reduced to just another unfortunate incident.
Delroy Lindo called it “a classic case of something that could be very negative becoming very positive.”
For families living with Tourette’s, this past week has not felt positive.
Since the BAFTAs and what happened with John Davidson, I have been arguing that my son deserves to leave his home and be included in society like everyone else.
I have had to explain, again and again, that Tourette’s is neurological.
That tics are involuntary.
That coprolalia is not belief, not intent, not character.
Yet the conversation keeps circling back to whether people like John, and by extension my son, should simply stay home to avoid offending anyone.
Stay home.
Remove yourself.
Do not attend events.
Do not exist publicly in case your disability makes someone uncomfortable.
That is the reality this week.
This is not abstract for me. My son already navigates anxiety and the constant fear of being misunderstood. Inclusion cannot mean only if your disability is convenient. It cannot mean you are welcome as long as you do not embarrass us.
My son deserves to leave the house.
He deserves to attend events.
He deserves to exist in public.
And I am exhausted from having to argue that basic truth.
Keir Starmer calls on *checks notes* Iran “to get back around the negotiating table.”
That’s where they were, then the US and Israel started bombing.
The words of a pathetic vassal.
OK, SO if the govt can check our bank accounts and take money if they see fit (because we’re either pensioners or claim UC); why then can’t they take back the money from Tories peers who sold £12B in useless PPE? Why can’t you cease assets from the likes of Mone who bought a yacht and a mansion from govt contracts she failed to supply? Or have we all forgotten about the Tories wasting £Billions?
Let me just add, this is a Tory policy, yet no one seems to disagree with it. Fucking WILD if you ask me.
The Scottish media for you in a nutshell:
If you're a unionist MP performing life saving surgery at Christmas, you're a hero
If you're an independence supporting MP performing life saving surgery at Christmas, you're a moonlighter who is doing it simply for your public image
Scotland’s fishing industry makes up more than half of the UK’s total catch.
Yet Labour’s new funding plan gives us less than 8% of the support.
They’re gutting our industry to boost England’s - just like they have with others.
The BBC actually photoshopped Jeremy Corbyn's hat etc to make it look more Russian.
Let that sink in.
The state-managed, compulsorily-funded BBC are spending our money on crude, entry-level state propaganda...

Al Jazeera report moments when Israel 🇮🇱 committed piracy by kidnapping the activists on board the Madleen.
The BBC have this morning described this as “diverting” the Madleen.
The BBC is an Israeli 🇮🇱 propaganda tool.
