If you support restoring winter fuel payments, scrapping peak rail fares and delivering 100,000 extra GP appointments...
Vote SNP on Thursday 5th June in the Hamilton, Larkhall, and Stonehouse by-election.
Only the SNP can beat Farage.

I reckon it's time a British cardinal threw his mitre in the ring. We're not going to compete at international masses without a homegrown pope in charge.
New era, new pontiff, but Ian Fiveankles argues they've got big sandals to fill.

If a high school sophomore could explain why the Confederate flag is a symbol of support for both slavery and sedition, why couldn't 120 Republican Congresspeople explain why they voted to keep Confederate statues in the U.S. Capitol?

The transatlantic alliance and NATO are over. Scotland's future is with 500 million other Europeans. Scotland has nothing to gain & everything to lose by shackling itself to a delusional UK that robs us of our natural wealth & refuses to accept the new geopolitical reality.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

What happened in the Oval Office today was horrifying - but, as this piece says, there is now no denying the truth of Trump’s alignment with Russia. Everyone who values freedom, democracy and peace must stand full square with Zelensky and Ukraine.
