Its for the 40% (or so) that do not read past the headline, keep them confused and questioning if true.

I'll never carry a "Britcard" on my shiny Scottish arse. #fucklabour

He has been "separated" from his German wife since around 2017, so who knows what his children from that marriage think of him.

2 of his own children are dual British /German nationals

NO surprises. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... . Every year when Scottish figures come out there are shouts that the collection of statistics is different (than in England), however, uk Gov and media will do anything to make Scotland look shite ever since Labour lost power up here.

Thousands of opioid deaths missed off official figures

The error - affecting England and Wales - raises concerns about the impact on the government's approach to drug deaths.

you are so far away from "need" YOU cannot tell if a pensioner "needed" the payment you are simply stating no one needs it which is disingenuous (price cap cannot and does not tell you how much an individual pensioner pays for energy)

i looked at science, i dont care where it is from

"the number of households paid a Winter Fuel Payment in winter 2023 to 2024 was 8.5 million, an increase of 140,000 households since winter 2022 to 2023" Gov figures. Cass being poor, not my opinion, Yale university does as it fails peer review. law.yale.edu/sites/defaul...

"Don't mention WFA. Virtually no one on the std pension needs it" 9 Million pensioners disagree

You clearly haven’t been paying attention. Winter fuel payment, creating a 2 tier UC disability element. Stopping health care for trans people, using Cass review for policy despite it being poor science and bigoted. The SC ruling does not say to segregate trans people.

You cannot unify that which is broken. A Labour that enacts Tory policies is not Labour. Stop attacking the disabled, the elderly and trans people.

The comic that is the Express also running with it on front page.

I feel this will have knock on effects with US health insurance, as any decent insurer will not want the increased risk of insuring large numbers of unvaccinated. Either massive increase in cost or refusal of cover.

Lawfare funded by a wealthy donor

garrysutherland.bsky.social @garrysutherland.bsky.social · Sep 3

Its Labour who are on the front pages today defending a man who sends violent tweets at trans people. Its Labour who continue to use poor science to deny trans people healthcare and dignity. Its your leader who gave the "island of strangers speech". Its Labour who introduce 2 tier disabled benefit.

Shit recording can hardly hear anything. Most of what can be made out is him swearing at the police and threatening to "sue them into the ground"

Lets hope they get a leadership that allows Scottish Greens to want to be associated with them again.

@michaelshanksmp.co.uk‬ this is the "change" you wanted us to vote for? I question your morals when you resigned from Labour merely due to Jeremy Corbyn being leader and yet are ok with the shit Labour are doing now.

Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters.

The government is heading in a dark direction.

Archive screenshot from the Sex Matters website reading:

“Tim Allan
Trustee
Tim Allan’s career has spanned working as a senior advisor in 10 Downing Street for Tony Blair, running corporate communications for BSkyB and founding a communications consultancy, Portland, which grew into one of the most highly regarded global reputation-management consultancies. Since selling Portland, he has become an investor in the communications consultancy sector.”
