Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

Everyone needs to know that Dolly Parton responded to a climate disaster in her community with a temporary universal basic income for everyone who lost their homes.

this is the guy responsible for the decimation of trans healthcare

this is a good example of how ppl refuse to acknowledge that transphobia causes problems

if there'd been pushback on him then we wouldn't be here now

the government used us trans ppl as a blueprint now they're using it on others

Of course they are. Reform UK are for the rich. They don't give AF about the Union. They showed that with Brexitwat.

1,611 homeless Britons died last yr, including 11 children & babies under the age of one.

Contrary to Suella Braverman, homelessness isn't a lifestyle. It is a failure of society.

Yet govts cut wages/benefits, public services, local council funding; no curbs on profiteering.

How civilised are we?

'Abject failure' as UK's homeless deaths rise - including children

The government's homelessness minister, Alison McGovern MP, has described the increased number of deaths as an "abject failure that cannot be tolerated".

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.
