We’re building a Scotland for all - an inclusive, welcoming, compassionate nation.

#SNP25 Conference was full of ideas and debate on achieving a fairer, more prosperous, independent Scotland.

Well said @bearlypolitics.co.uk. The ceaseless snip-snip-snip of a dying state.
However, the elephant still in the room is the 4% GDP and Billions Nigel Garbage has continually ReFuk's our nations with. Just imagine how much better off everyone would be. Brexiteers🤦‍♂️

The Ceaseless Snip-Snip-Snip of a Dying State
Fifteen years of cuts have left the UK trying to "efficiency" its way out of a collapse - and somehow still expecting growth to show up as well.

The grotesque spectacle of those who have waged and financed genocide gathering to engage in sycophancy and backslapping is nauseating.

“There is no doubting that the impact of Brexit is severe and long lasting” says Chancellor Rachel Reeves

But our genius Chancellor will not rejoin the single market and deal with this Brexit impact?

Imagine what Scotland could do if we had control over our massive wealth instead of it all going to billionaires in another country.
Capitalists, especially neolibs, HATE a Wellbeing Economy that puts people first, not billionaire’s profits.
We need independence NOW!

Rachel Reeves says Brexit and austerity are to blame for the state of the British economy. Now just imagine if she was in government and had the power to reverse those two dreadful mistakes … oh wait …

I've invented a new technology which electronically injects shit into your brain 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I'd like huge government subsidies to get my shit-injecting machine into the brain of every citizen on Earth, and no guardrails or legislation to inhibit my shit-injecting machine. OK?

Just a shame that Britain has gutted its local newspaper industry so there's nobody to investigate Reform councils, or tell voters just how fucking useless, dangerous and dysfunctional Reform are when in power...
brendanmay.bsky.social
If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.
Meanwhile in Germany:
German retirees who continue working are set to earn €2,000 a month tax-free
Active pension scheme expected to start in January is part of chancellor’s ‘autumn of reforms’ to tackle economic stagnation……but the English Chancellor? Tax, tax, tax and more tax.

a fake quote being attributed to zohran mamdani is igniting the pro-palestine left.

he never said arresting netanyahu would make him a trumpian fascist. that phrase was posted by an account known for using extreme rhetoric to accuse mamdani of effectively saying that as a result of him softening.
image circulating claiming to attribute a fake quote to mamdani. text reads:
dec. 2024: “as mayor of nyc i would arrest benjamin netanyahu”
sept. 2025: “arresting netanyahu would make me a trumpian fascist.” - this second quote has in big letters over it the words “fake quote.” post from the originator of the phrase. text reads:

@zei squirrel
here you have it side by side. Zohran in December 2024, when he was running in the primary, pledging that he will definitely arrest Netanyahu. Then fast forward to Zohran in September 2025, after he won the primary, and suddenly arresting Netanyahu makes you a Trumpian fascist:

There's a brief clip of Jeremy Vine's face where he knows that Carole Malone is gonna have her arse handed to her, and he looks like a naughty schoolboy.

State of media in this country.

Well done, Zack.

Carole Malone, "Youu can't say what women's rights are because you're not a woman"

Zack Polanski, "You're not trans are you. We can all say you're not that thing so you can't have an opinion" 🔥

"You can still have an opinion from listening to people"
I don’t believe the ‘U.K.’ has. England? Yes.
The over use of the conflation of
'England' with the rest of the ‘U.K.’
is down right insulting to Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 approach to its disabled is a world apart from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

A society that cares for its disabled citizens *and* offers assisted dying is close to the enlightenment.

A society that does *not* care for its disabled citizens and offers assisted dying is fully fascist.

If you are unaware of how the UK has treated us, look it up.

Fascism loves complacency.

Carole Malone may be a woman, but she doesn't speak for me.

Zack seems to be doing better representing my interests as a woman and otherwise.

Carry on Zack

Fair play to him for not calling her a "gob on legs" which is what she fucking well is.

She's not Scottish but has plenty of opinions on how the Scottish people should be governed.
She’s an absolute gob shite.
Doesn’t listen and promotes Rowlings (who writes as a man) and only her own opinion. Talks over anyone she won’t listen to.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social great to hear your defence.
