A mock apology to Labour from the SNP for posting a video of Offord's claim that Sarwar wanted to make a deal with Reform.

This made me smile...

Man in a suit with arms crossed beside text promoting experienced and hopeful leadership with the SNP party.

If you want to know what a Scottish Labour government would look like, just look at Labour at Westminster.

In serious times, we’ll focus on what matters: the cost of living, our NHS, our economy, and Scotland’s future with independence.

On May 7, make it Both Votes SNP.

Mandelson has "masterminded" almost every right-wing turn Labour has taken in the last 30 years. The amount of top-quality blackmail material he must have on virtually the whole PLP must be staggering.

Do you want your water run by a profit-obsessed racketeer? If you do vote for Imperialist London Labour. If not it's SNP1, SGP2 on 7th May.

🇬🇧 uk westminster governments regard Scotland as an energy & resource rich british Territory to be mined, raided and exploited to the nth degree, in order to keep the lights on and transport moving in London & SE England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland’s fresh water will be their next target💧

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Are you YES yet ? 🇪🇺

In 2014 UK politicians and corporate media told you that Scotland's oil and gas would run out within 5 years. In 2024 the surplus gas trade alone was worth £7Bn. You were lied to. You're still being lied to. Don't get fooled again.

In England The number of health visitors - qualified nurses or midwives who support families with very young children - has almost halved in the last decade.

Lots of noise from Labour about their renter's rights act for England. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘕𝘗 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝟤𝟢𝟣𝟩.

And The SNP proposes to go 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 - with the right to first refusal to purchase the home they live in, at a fair market rate, if the owner decides to sell 👏

The BBC promotion of Reform is out of control.

Did you know that Westminster doesn't permit the Scottish Government any power over Broadcasting, Constitution, Defence & Security, Employment, Energy, Economic & Monetary Policy, Foreign Policy, Immigration, Telecoms or Trade & Industry? Independence would give us control of all of it.

Did you know that Westminster controls 74% of Scotland's revenue, 37% of its spending, and tightly limits Scotland's ability to borrow? Imagine what we could achieve if we controlled all of it as normal countries do.

Now watch as unionist campaigns, mostly funded by deep pockets of their party head offices in England, wind up criticism of ScotGov by attacking things that are actually controlled by *Westminster*. They are counting on your ignorance about what's devolved and what isn't. Don't let them fool you.

Once in a while in politics, somebody has a bloody good idea. It’s in that category I’d file last week’s SNP manifesto proposal to use statutory public health powers to cap the price of selected foodstuffs in supermarkets, writes Tommy Sheppard ✍️

Why independence is a must!!
We cannot afford anymore wm party fuck ups!!

'Scandal' as Labour snub call for inquiry into pro-Israel lobbying

The UK Government has been accused of a 'political scandal on the scale of Peter Mandelson' after snubbing a petition calling for an inquiry into pro-Israel influence in politics and democracy

How can there be a fair and level playing field for political parties in Scotland when the Westminster parties are largely funded from
*outside* Scotland? There can't be. Politics and party political funding in the UK is corrupt. #Scotland

Israel is "PROHIBITED" by the US from bombing Lebanon, says Donald Trump.
It underlines a basic fact:
Israel's genocide and war crimes could be stopped at any moment by any US president.

It is fair to say that the same could be said in relation to Israel's treatment of Palestine too.

All this pish and wind about the SNP deliberately picking a fight with Westminster over price caps for essentials is as hilarious as it is revealing.

Embarrassing UKGov or maybe forcing them into action UK wide is bad because....why?

Show your working.

Stealing a Lebanese families home grown vegetables, they take photos and proudly post themselves. The IDF arrogance & indifference of other humans is beyond words. Just as we saw in Gaza, we see in Lebanon.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

The total tax Tice's companies are known to have avoided through onshore and offshore entities, or failed to pay, in relation to Quidnet now amounts to almost £800,000. Photo of Tice in House of Commons Richard Tice is the MP for Boston & Skegness HOUSE OF COMMONS/PA

How the company that donates to Reform benefited from the non-payment of tax QUIDNET REIT Dividends paid but not taxed into TISUN 1,2,3 and 4 Arrows flow from each down into £98000 Corporation tax not paid by Tisun 1-4, leaving more cash for their parent company Arrows join and flow into Tisun Investments Ltd REFORM UK Arrow to TIL paid loans, later converted to gifts, to Reform UK Graphic by The Times and The Sunday Times

Reform is corrupt.
Tice is a tax dodging cheat.
They want power to make money for themselves.
The foreign bribes, the crypto donations, the bitcoin investments, Farage and Kwarteng’s cosy little deals…

They’ll treat the UK and the NHS as their own fire sale.
We must never give it to them.

In a nutshell. 😊

Labour and SNP NEC A Flourish data visualization by Yes in Pictures

The latest election strategy from Labour in Scotland is to, again, try to position themselves as somehow different to "down south".

They're the same party. Run by an NEC that has one Scottish rep (Jackie Baillie, not Sarwar). They're not on Scotland's side.

Health visitors in England are key to Labour’s preventative strategy but they’re plummeting there after two years in government while Scotland after 19 years of the SNP has four times as many per head... From BBC Breakfast early this morning (06.17 to 06.20am) and repeated with the above shocking figures throughout the show: The number of health visitors in England has fallen by almost half over th…

"What the PM is going to say is, its Olly Robbins's fault.. the issue for the PM.. is that Olly Robbins became head of the foreign office after Sir Keir Starmer had announced that Peter Mandelson was going to be the UK ambassador to the US"

Why not ?

In a country as wealthy as Scotland, nobody should be struggling to make ends meet.

While the UK Labour government sits on its hands, the SNP will always act to help people with the cost of living using all powers we have - including capping bus fares and essential food prices.

Whatever your politics this is a campaign that we all need to support. It’s heartbreaking and desperately urgent for the women involved. If you share one thing today please make it this🙏

Anas Sarwar says voting Labour 'not an endorsement' of Starmer Anas Sarwar has said that voting Labour in Scotland is 'not an endorsement' of Keir Starmer

If that's the case Anas, Just what is the point of Westminster then? I mean what's the point of being in this union?

Tice said: "Naturally I am always happy to put things right and if numbers need rechecking, of course I will pay what is owed - be that more or less."

It's another big story from Gabriel Pogrund who also revealed last week that Tice's property company failed to pay £91,000 in tax before dividends.
