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. 🏴

the concept of Anas Sarwar ringing Rachel Reeves and being like "hey Rachel, could you fund Scotland?" and Reeves being like "thanks for asking! I wasn't going to do that but since you asked, I will put something in the budget x"

I also always forget how ghastly watching the Commons is. The Westminster Lobby snobs act like Holyrood is the silly clownshow and you can't get one sentence into a major statement in the Commons without HMNYEEAHHHH HMNYEEAHHHH and shouting and jeering, it's pathetic, grow up children.

I'm not at all surprised by the Covid inquiry findings, including that ScotGov received criticism. I do think we should recall how fucking rancid a lot of unionist journalists were if ScotGov dared to do anything different from WM.

Inverness is badly served by having this man as their MP.
Angus MacDonald, who represents Inverness, has now said in a statement he will undertake diversity and inclusion training, after using the phrase on camera while discussing plans to house 300 male asylum seekers in a local barracks from next month.

Last week I shared this, talking about how Glasgow was being given less funding in the UK government's new Pride of Place fund than our equivalent cities in England. Now it transpires that not are we being short-changed, but this isn't even new money.(1/2)
I don't usually upload Full Council videos but why not, I suppose. Labour today were even more of a shambles than they usually are.

If Douglas Alexander is serious about defeating racism by standing together, he should have a word with his own Labour colleagues about their own rhetoric.

We are horrified but not surprised by this. No one connected to the Magdalene laundries should be involved in making law on any subject, let alone trying to push laws which endanger women who are doing sex work. Sex workers say no to the Nordic Model.

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements.
That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British.

Over the past decade, Scots were told to wait for an ambitious Labour government to come along & make life better. Labour have a huge mandate & still meek to the point of cowardace. Please step up and do the right thing. The consequences of not being strong here are catastrophic.
The Labour response to Farage policy of leaving the Refugee & Humam Rights Convention should not be “he won’t deliver”.
It should be “this is not morally right” (not “British values” even).
Voters want to see authentic consistent leadership. Not debate the workability of cruelty.

Every time living standards fall, Nigel Farage blames migration.
And every time, Keir Starmer nods along.
People are struggling with the cost of living and blaming migration won’t fix that.

Scotland needs more people, not fewer. Of course independent we will have an immigration and nationality (and asylum) policy but we’ll have one that suits us, and is all about working with friends and neighbours. I honestly hate the UK debate on this and am fearful of where England might be going.
