Starmer now ensuring that the next election is utterly pointless and will have the lowest turnout ever. His praise of Thatcher is the de facto end of social democracy and an endorsement of the continuation and consolidation of the last 40 years unopposed hegemony of big money.

A night out, a chance to support DAIG, help look after the planet and grab a bargain - what's not to love?

UK Police to treat shoplifting like organised crime.

What money lost due to Covid loan frauds, dud PPE contracts, HS2 land being sold cheaply, water companies collecting money but dumping sewage in rivers?

I see ... perpetrators are protected by govt.

How come when @RishiSunak wife spoke at the #Tory conf it was ALL OVER every news channel. The #snpconference Might as well not be happening! @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews are you afraid to show the speeches from today?

Amazing scenes on the Stockingfield Bridge and over the Forth and Clyde Canal for Chain of Freedom as Yes supporters link hands for Scottish independence😍

Trainspotting parodies usually bore the shit out of me, but I quite like this one.

[Beth Whiteside @whiteside_beth]

Don't think that'll be much comfort to folks living in the blast zone!
Maybe publish results for Scotland alone? 🤔
Or ask Londoners how safe they'd feel if the weapons were relocated to the South coast!

In the US it costs $18,865 on average to give birth. In Scotland it’s free and you also get this

Another illustration of everything that's wrong with the very idea of privatising utilities and power!
This isn't normal!

[Alan Ferrier @alanferrier]

2014 vs. 2023. I wonder what was going on in 2014 that might have encouraged the BBC's narrative.

Good times in Skye (despite the weather) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[All Under One Banner @AUOBNOW]

We are proud to announce that today c. 500 Scottish self determination supporters marched for independence from Kyle of Lochalsh to the Isle of Skye, with many coming from local communities as well as further afield. Well done everyone! Scotland's day will come. #AUOBKyleakin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@ofgem What's going on here?
You're allowing energy companies to ruin small businesses.
Here's Marble Power charging a monthly standing charge of over £800 to a small business which has used NO power during the month!

Crisis in NHS presents ‘business opportunities’, says Axa boss.

What he means is "profiteering" opportunity.

Every £ handed to private sector will buy less because 30%-40% will vanish in profits. Profits will be prioritised over people, as in care homes.
