Is it hen?, they've been paying poorer kids over £25 a week for years now. The fact you'd rather criticise them than do the same says more about you.

This pretty much proves that Scottish MSM are complicit and subservient to whichever party is knocking Scottish Government at a given time. It's why people like us get so frustrated with our leadership team who don't push back hard enough / too passive.
Someone has leaked a Scottish Labour briefing, so let's spoil Sunday's MSM attack lines. "Sending a briefing including all of Scottish Labour’s lines for next week’s parliamentary business to all staffers… that’s someone on their Policy Team’s weekend ruined 😅"

The media are obsessed with the LA fires,which are dreadful,but ignoring what is being done to cities in the Middle East by Israeli government supported by the West is a dereliction of duty by serious journalists and media
The city of Rafah has been erased from the map ..
With hardly a passing comment in Western media.
Can you imagine what it means to erase an entire city with all its memories, lanes, & landmarks?
Now try to imagine if it were Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow or Edinburgh?
Shocking when put into context

Denmark has a new king, the King and Queen get approximately $500,000 from the Danish Government a year, and the whole family is worth $40m.
In the UK King Charles gets $150,000,000 a year and his family is worth $25bn.
We need to be more like Denmark.
