“The regulation of medicine pricing is reserved to the UK Government through the Department of Health and Social Care.

“Any agreed price increases will apply UK-wide, including Scotland, so NHS Scotland would face higher costs.”

This is a list of the harm that has been inflicted upon us by
Westminster & what it has done to Scotland by the Torys & the Labour, LibDems & UKIP/Reform are complicit in the damage to our country & still it continues by those blinkered unionists who need to wake up & stop with the anti SNP keech.

Sooooo, we've now had TWO radiation leaks reported in the last month in Scotland! Both happened over a year ago! What chance our UKGOV would tell us when they actually happen?

HR26: vote SNP 1 and Scottish Greens 2 for an Indy majority

Sums it up nicely. The PR system is what WM installed to actively PREVENT any one party getting an outright majority of seats (i.e. with the SNP specifically in mind). To get an INDY majority it has to be SNP 1, Green 2

Frank this is the trend - SNP got

2021 - 64(62C & 2L) seats.
2016 - 63(59C & 4L) seats.
2011 - 69(53C & 16L) seats.
2007 -47(21C & 26L) seats.

The more Constituency seats SNP win the less List seats they get.

In a region, if SNP win 8/9 Constituency seats their List votes get divided by 8+1=9

This is England - again. If you live in Scotland and vote for a unionist party this is what you'll end up with here and you'll only have yourself to blame. You may not like the SNP but at least they have the right priorities.

It's pretty clear from the monthly Westminster polling subsamples that the rise of Reform is coming from other unionist parties. The SNP and Green vote has held firm since January; while the Tories (-5) and UK Labour (-4) have lost ground. This backs up the excellent analysis by Ballot Box Scotland.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Surely the way to handle the BBC constantly taking the conversation to Reform UK Ltd is to state “I understand that the BBC and specifically you want to constantly platform Reform UK Ltd and make all and every conversation about them but I am here to talk about my party”

Checked the website, yes, this is an USA thing (we in the UK actually have a king that a majority want to get rid off so apologies for my confusion)

It’s £47bn over 5 years when they get in. That is only £7.8bn per year in today’s money (assuming 3% p/a inflation). The £1,200bn treasury last year so it’s a 0.63% saving on the total treasury spend. More of a rounding error than a colossal saving.

Do you not notice the headers or are you just being obtuse?

I’d this an official SNP communication or just something that a member of the public knocked up?

You are really winning at being a plonker

Oh and £47bn over 5 years is only £7.8bn per year in today’s money (assuming 3% p/a inflation). The £1,200bn treasury spend is last year so it’s a 0.63% saving on the total treasury spend. More of a rounding error than a colossal saving.

Can the MSM stop reporting these inflated numbers without context. The “colossal savings” – worth £47bn is over the course of the next parliament (5 years).

£9.4bn p/a then

Farage £234bn saving (20 years)

£11.7bn p/a then

Treasury spend £1,200bn per year

Both < 1% (even less with inflation)

Dolge claims to have so far identified £40mn in savings to be achieved over four years.

This is now the Reform UK Ltd way of trying to make small numbers look big. Just multiply them by a number of years to make a big number. Like the £234bn saving announced by Farage (over 20 years).

Kemi Badenoch says she will send people "back to where they came from"

Does that include "anchor babies" whose parents flipped into the country from Nigeria for a brief period to make sure their daughter could claim birth citizenship?

Then spent 16 years of her childhood in Nigeria
