❌ End the Union's biggest economic lie. GERS doesn’t show what independence would look like - it shows the cost of staying in the Union.

Scotland has more GP's per head of population than other parts of the UK.

GPs, nurses and more - provide 720,000 appointments a week in Scotland.

Not sure why this was kind of buried in the Guardian story

Kent leader Kemkaran "failed to ensure that her register of interests listed the fact that her husband is the director of digital transformation at East Kent’s health authority"

It's a criminal offence to knowingly omit relevant interests.

Why not ask that Scotland be in charge of its own immigration? Then the Scottish government could set up the normal system of processing requests before arrival so no need for centres. I'd like to see your life without immigrant help. You sound like a ... Tory.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

I wish we could here such clarity down in Westminster. The Greens seems to be the only party that highlight the "nonsense', 'mistruths" and "normalisation of bigotry" as mentioned here. Well done @snp.org!
South of border voters, demand this from your representatives!

I'm listening to Plaid Cyrum at Conference.

What a firebrand speaker they have.

Not shy in coming forward and they remind me of what Labour was once. Labour have become lost and dour with no fire in their bellies. Plaid are slaying it

The BBC is slowly but surely destroying Radio 4 as well. It’s the last bastion of intelligent debate in Britain, yet it’s increasingly becoming a vehicle for culture wars. When the history of the UK in this period is written, the BBC will have a lot to answer for when it comes to stirring division

Re #BBCQT: TeamNigel's Zia has been on the defensive throughout much of that episode, taking hits from both the Tories and Greens. The Labour minister was a spectator through much of it. @zackpolanski.bsky.social clearly did his homework knowing a bigger than normal audience. Hence Nathan Gill.
