It is amazing under some circumstances you can put a whole sentence together using only obscenities, and yet it makes perfect sense and gets the point across.
Did you try swearing?
Today giving the police more power to deal with protest marches, in particular pro Palestine marches. You couldn’t make it up with this anti-democratic Labour Party.

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.

Anas Sarwar's connection is Financial and strategic.
It has provided substantial financial backing to Scottish Labour £100,000 worth and also supplies back room support and policy direction that is critical to the functioning of Scottish Labour.

Former Sainsbury's end of East Kilbride town centre.
With internet shopping permanently shifting retail, the old model isn't returning. We must reimagine our town centre by repurposing empty units for local small businesses and building a publicly-owned civic hub to bring community and culture back to the heart of East Kilbride. #eastkilbride

A new Survation poll has shown a “miserable” level of support for nuclear power in Scotland. The polling makes grim reading for Scottish Labour and the LibDems who are both promoting new nuclear bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/04/20/n...
