Migrant from the hellhole Elmo created. New Scot. Socialist. Husband. Jambo. Radicalised by the sociopathy of politicians (especially during Covid). A better way is possible.

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.

Anyone in Scotland who is thinking of voting Labour, is completely bonkers.
As they've gone beyond Tory and they're now mimicking Reform UK, Scottish Independence isn't just sensible, it's ESSENTIAL!

Michelle Mone has just bought a £10m home in Florida, even though she has yet to repay a penny of the £122m PPE Medpro owes the taxpayer. Good job she hasn't committed housing benefit fraud, because she might have been prosecuted then.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Will that be the same remote Highland village that they want to stash their nuclear waste in? The same one they suggested relocating their "illegal" migrants to? Is Scotland just one big #dumping ground for every inconvenient English issue? Is this another of their supposed "union dividends"?

Scotland’s fishing industry makes up more than half of the UK’s total catch.
Yet Labour’s new funding plan gives us less than 8% of the support.
They’re gutting our industry to boost England’s - just like they have with others.
