Scotland was a priority target for Morgan McSweeney, and Labour moved from one to 37 seats in 2024.

However, eight Labour MPs received £10k cash donations from Labour Together NOT registered on the Electoral Commission website.

revealing the names…

The mess being revealed in Westminster shouldn't come as any surprise. What did you think would be the result when an archaic political system with no written constitution, rooted in centuries old tradition for it's checks & balances, smashed headlong into a modern world with email, crypto, etc.

Officers erected a forensic tent outside of the former first minister's home, did Peter Mandelson get the same treatment?

Just seen a copy of the EIS re-ballot on strike action. There's little other way to interpret it as that they absolutely loath the Scottish Government. They've always been Labour shills, and nothing has changed.

Where are all the blue tents, police arrests and detentions following numerous very serious crimes committed by Westminster politicians. No police visibility in serious fraud, corruption and sex crimes. Totally convinces me the ongoing SNP saga was contrived with maximum media live coverage

Pre Christmas we replaced a 30+yr old toilet with a new low water version.
Just done a quick calculation & it’s truly astonishing.
Obv difficult to be precise, but if we calculate on just 10 flushes/day we’re saving 2k L/month. That’s 2 IBCs. Per month!
With a septic tank & soakaway that’s awesome.

In our local pharmacy today to get something over the counter. They asked what it was for, took a look, issued a prescription for something better, and handed it to me.
No charge.
This is Scotland atm.
If you want that excellent service to continue, don't vote for any of the Unionist parties.
