Labour's official party political broadcast wasn't broadcast in Scotland. Perhaps this segment would not have gone down well in Grangemouth...

FIFA has decided to take no action against Israel.

President says "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues."

FIFA has and still bans Russia.

FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.

Interesting. The pursuit of profit beyond reason. Wonder if any of the tenants are retired teachers?

Exactly so. Re-Nationalise the lot and stop the extraction of profits abroad.

London Heathrow airport owned by private/state investors from Australia, China, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain.

Similar to steel, auto, ports, shipbuilding, care homes, hospitals, GP surgeries, veterinary services.

Dividends not taxed in the UK. Govts have fewer economic levers.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

I now urgently need to hear from YES Groups and individual Indy campaigners what YOU would like by way of media resources for your own local campaigns. More banners? Large posters? Correx Boards? Larger window stickers? A mobile Advan touring your town but with a static banner?

Today, your household energy costs will rise once again.

Labour pledged to cut bills by £300, but instead bills have increased by £287 since Starmer entered Downing Street.

Westminster isn’t working for Scotland - it’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A question to direct at avery unionist MSP, MP and politician - If the UK really is a “voluntary union” what is the process for Scotland leaving it?
