We need similar but different in Scotland. Conservative have been irrelevant in Scotland since 1955. Lib Dem, always.

We need sensible people to change from this, to keep out Reform in Scotland.

Vote SNP.

Compare and contrast.
Absentee MP -v- his constituency.

He really couldn’t give a shit.
He feeds off the inequality and anger to line his own pockets. He doesn’t want solutions because the problems are his income stream.

Jaywick named most deprived area - again

A seaside neighbourhood in Essex, part of the parliamentary constituency represented by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, has once again been named the most deprived in England.
The latest official data showed that an area of the coastal village of Jaywick, close to the town of Clac-ton-on-Sea in the local authority of Tendring, has been classed the most deprived neighbourhood for the fourth time.
Areas of Blackpool again make up most of the rest of the top 10, along with new appearances for neighbour-hoods in Hastings and Rotherham.

Yesterday's data, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), presented relative levels of deprivation in areas or neighbourhoods of England in 2025.
The data highlighted "the scale of the challenge" but does not "reflect the progress made since 2019 or the strength of the people who call Jay-wick Sands home"
, the Tendring
District Council website said.
MHCLG said Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Hartlepool, Kingston upon Hull and Manchester had the highest proportions of neighbour-hoods among the most deprived in England.

Farage earns more than £1m a year for non-MP work

Nigel Farage has revealed he is earning well over a £1m a year from work he does outside parliament, in addition to his job as an MP.
It is thought his outside income is significantly higher than that of any other member of parliament.

Scotch Whisky is 202 years old.

Even quite sensible people think that: The 75% UK Duty and the fabulous wealth, that comes with being 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports, is controlled by Scotland.

It's not.

Only Scotland being Independent, will divert this multi billion Westminster Cashcow!

Sharks aren’t what we should fear - it’s what’s in them. Every single shark tested in Europe contained toxic mercury levels higher than what’s allowed in any other fish. Join the call to ban toxic shark meat and protect both people and planet! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-11...

Ban shark meat! Protect our oceans and our health

Sharks aren’t what we should fear - it’s what’s in them. Every single shark tested in Europe contained toxic mercury levels higher than what’s allowed in any other fish. The EU not only permits it - it remains one of the world’s biggest shark traders. Austria has already banned shark products to protect people’s health. Let’s make sure that the EU does the same. Join the call to ban toxic shark meat and protect both people and planet!

£115m a day, every day, in pure profit, for 150 people who are already billionaires.

Two decades ago, Glasgow was branded the “murder capital of Europe.”

Today, homicides there are down by around two-thirds. Across Scotland they’re at their lowest, since records began.

That progress comes from the SNP’s public-health approach to violence, now copied across the UK and beyond.
