Tbh, I'm not keen on Clark, I think he's far too cautious.

An excellent result, but apart from the last quarter, we were brutal.
Kinda reminds me of that old quote "it's better to be lucky than good"

Audience member rips apart Zia Yusuf's obsession with immigration, all the problems are due to austerity.

He challenges Yusuf to speak about other issues.

Yusuf lasts less than 2 seconds, all he and Reform have is, "Immigrants bad!"

As a Scot, looking in, I don`t know why Trump hasn`t been dragged from office and thrown in a dungeon until his trial begins. 🤷‍♂️

It would make a change if he even turned up. Surely, the English aren't stupid enough to vote that fascist clown into power. 🤷‍♂️

Tam @tammckenna.bsky.social · 20h

The English electorate should be paying attention, because fascist Farage plans on following Trump`s lead.

In an independent Scotland, we should be reclaiming all land from foreign landlords immediately, if not sooner.

Half of Scotland's land is owned by less than 1% of the people. We have some of the most unequal land distribution in Europe!

It's time to curb the power of super rich land hoarders and start giving ordinary Scots and communities new opportunities.

I was born in England, but I was reborn in Scotland. And that rebirth has given me clarity - not to divide, but to stand for a Scotland that believes in itself and its right to chart its own path.👇

Imagine how much easier life would be if Scotland was independent.

Cheaper bills mean more money in your pocket, taking some of the financial strain off families.

"Spain’s rapid renewables build-out means its power prices were set by fossil generation just 19% of the time, down from 75% in 2019. As a result, wholesale electricity was almost a third cheaper than the EU average"

Imagine having cheaper power
