Does anyone actually know what Keir Starmer thinks about Brexit?
My view hasn’t changed: Brexit is a disaster, Scotland belongs in Europe, so let’s become independent and join the EU with our own seat at the table.

Scotland needs more carers, but Westminster is driving them away.
Labour’s hostile immigration plans and their tax on jobs are hammering Scotland’s social care sector.
With the fresh start of independence, we can build a migration system suited to our needs and interests.

As well as ensuring that Scotland has many more GPs than England and Wales, my local practice uses an NHS Scotland provided online triage system before taking bookings. It's very thorough. And often saves a trip to the Health Centre.

Katie Bramall, chair of BMA GeneralPractice, explains that simply creating another way for people to book GP appointments doesnt increase the number of appointments available, and the sheer volume of people now booking online is taking GPs away from face to face appointments to triage those bookings

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.
They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.
