Independence for Scotland is what I desire. If you don't want that, then I have no time for you or your opinion. You will be ignored and blocked. Yes yoons, that means you. No unsolicited DM's as that's an instant block.

Can't believe I'm having to post this but... If you follow me and you have Scottish Labour in your profile you will be instantly blocked. Why? Because you are living a lie as there's no such political party and I see you as a traitor to my country. So scram.

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.

Also in England.

Labour is paying hospitals to remove patients from waiting lists WITHOUT treating them

Meanwhile, Labour is stripping disabled people of benefits - but claiming the NHS has them covered. This could not be more alarming.

Oh definitely and probably why they are still going after all these years.

I knew I had read or heard it about their warranty somewhere, just wasn't %100 sure. Do the same thing ourselves with long term receipts, tucked away safely to find if needed.

If you're modelling it on Angus it will have to be the most gorgeous cat thing ever. So no pressure then.

Do you feel better off after austerity, Brexit and rising bills under Westminster?

With independence, we can raise living standards and build an economy that works for Scotland.

Rising bills. Falling living standards. The UK economic model is broken.

Independence is the fresh start for Scotland - so we can build a wealthier, fairer nation shaped by the people who live here.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome

Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed

Tried to put in some eyedrops, but I'm that full of the cold, I was shivering and got it all over my face. Not one single drop went in my eye and I now need a new bottle of drops.

I've just found on youtube the first record I ever owned (not bought myself that was different altogether). Badgered my mum for days until she gave in and bought it for me. Hey I was only a 3 year old. Still think it's a great piece of pop music.
