NEW: Stephen Flynn has predicted today's Budget 'was Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves's last'

The SNP Westminster leader's statement comes after an unprecedented blunder saw the full details of Reeves’s plans were published by the OBR more than half an hour before she stood up in the Commons chamber

Did YOU know that #Scotland is home to a number of Iron Age roundhouses, known as 'brochs'? 😮 Situated on Mousa Island in #Shetland, Mousa Broch is one of the best preserved structures, believed to date back to around 300 BC!

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Last time I saw anyone wearing so many self imposed fake medals was Idi Amin, And look how that turned out?
But when it’s home grown frauds bedecked in unearned medals & wearing military dress uniform you’re not supposed to heap ridicule on them. Times are changing.

I'm listening to Radio Ulster.

They've just said that energy bills will become cheaper because of the way connection fees will be charged. Good for them.

Will this be happening in Scotland and elsewhere 🤔

Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

Labour's last PFI schemes under Blair and Brown were a disaster we're still paying for. Now Starmer and Sarwar seriously suggest we'd be better off if they got their hands on Scotland's NHS?

Thankfully 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗡𝗣 has stopped them... so far.
Just a tiny snapshot of the countless articles exposing how disastrous PFI was…It was universally recognised as a failure. 🚫💸

So why — WHY — is a similar scheme being opened up again just 7 years later?!

We want answers from our politicians. Now.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?

Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.
