“I am proud to have scrapped the two-child limit,” #Starmer intoned yesterday “and lifted half a million children out of poverty.” Fascinating to hear he’s extremely proud of doing something he last year suspended seven of his MPs for voting for.”

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.

Given that fuel duty already hits drivers in Scotland disproportionately due to lower population and longer distances travelled, it’s hardly surprising that Westminster and its media choose to ignore the fact that the new per-mile EV road-usage tax is higher than what the average petrol car pays.

The level of British media attacks is in proportion to the threat their owners perceive against the English Establishment. Sturgeon's public popularity and success is a huge trigger. Do we care?

The front pages of Scotland’s newspapers are a disgrace today. All of them harping about how Nicola was doing harm during Covid.
If you really want to see how biased the media is today is the day.
