Rachel Reeves was literally in tears at PMQs today - not over the thousands of children killed by Israeli bombs in Gaza (which Labour facilitates), but because she didn’t get to slash benefits.
Starmer’s Labour:-
- Joy in backing genocide abroad.
- Despair when they can’t punish the poor at home.

Did you know? I saw the details of Israel's first attack on Greta's ship online. The British media appears to carefully filter what it reports about Gaza.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · Jun 2

Greta Thunberg is sailing to Gaza to protest the blockade by Israel.

Last time she set off Israel drone striked her ship and nearly sank it.

But of course the Media completely ignored this blatant War Crime in the Mediterranean, because Israel did it.

If this was happening in Scotland the BBC and the rest of the corporate media would be demanding that the SNP must answer and Swinney must resign. One 'news' for England, another for Scotland. That's their ongoing plan.

BBC headline story about seriousness of bin strike in Birmingham, and yet no calls for the UK government to answer for for their leader to resign. Had this been in Scotland we'd be having wall-to-wall calls by the BBC and corporate media for the SNP to explain why they aren't resolving the problem and immediately sacking the SNP minister 'responsible'.

Labour’s actions in government are no joke for pensioners who have lost Winter Fuel Payments, WASPI women who continue to go uncompensated & for disabled people who are about to have their benefits cut.

Nine months on and Labour are still sticking to their promise not to penalise ‘Working People,’ by focusing instead on those who can’t work or are retired.

I think it’s only a matter of time before some of the more sensible folk in ‘Scottish’ Labour realise their only hope is to unhitch themselves from the centre-right English nationalists of UK Labour and open up to #ScottishIndependence for Party and nation.

Independent Voices @indyvoices.bsky.social · Jan 28

This is the average Scottish sub-polling across all 12 UK wide polls during January alongside the average of the 3 most recent. Tories and Labour still seem on the decline while Reform UK still on the up (FFS!). This combines data from Yougov (3), FON (3), MIC (3), Delta (2), Opinium (1).
