Happily retired and living in the Scottish Borders. I love art, nature, gardening, flower arranging, trying out new recipes, and spending time with my husband and our Westies (Henry and Lily).

Tackling child poverty is my driving mission - and thanks to our actions, Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling.
Glad that Labour was finally shamed into doing the right thing.

Scotland’s future is up to people who live in Scotland, not Rachel Reeves, Keir Starmer or any other Westminster politician.

Labour came in promising to cut energy bills by £300. Now they’re almost £200 higher, and they trumpet a change that won’t even cover the increase since they took office.
Is this really it??
Scotland deserves better than this chaos. A fresh start with independence. 🏴

In addition to the elements necessary for a just and lasting peace and Ukraine’s sovereignty:
any agreement must include the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.
We will not rest until every single one of them is reunited with their families, in their homes.

The UK has more than enough money to fund our public services and rebuild our infrastructure. But it's hoarded by a tiny minority.
The 50 richest families now hold more wealth than 50% of the population combined.
A tax on the wealth of the top 1% would raise over £70 billion.

We can’t let history repeat itself.
Thatcher’s policies wiped out our industrial communities - Labour’s windfall tax is doing the same to today’s North Sea workers.
Scrap it, save jobs and let Scotland build a fair transition into renewables.

These pictures are of one of the UKs biggest factory puppy farms. The Animal “welfare” Bill does nothing to prevent this. It does prevent abused dogs from overseas entering the UK

Kelly’s Kennels Warrington is offering 85 puppies (16 different litters) for sale, total sales value £107,300. Every single puppy was born at the Fivemiletown puppy farm.

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…
And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say
…funny that.

Thanks to the new “Animal Welfare Bill” dogs like Ricky can no longer have a safe home here in the UK. He will die in Romania.
Puppies from Five Mile Town puppy factory where they have THOUSANDS of breeding bitches living in a shed can still be sold in the UK though.
Because they are British 🤷🏼♀️

The autumn budget will mop up some damage, but the true source of the economic crisis is clear. The government should now fix it – tragically, it won’t, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland
