Reform have a seat in the Scottish Parliament because turn out was 22% and the far right always do well from low turnout out because extremists always vote. Everyone needs to get out and vote in May. Even if you hate all the options, just hold your nose and choose one.

BBC Scotland output errors detrimental to the SNP
They don't apologise or correct errors and if they do the time-lapse nullifies the point of the correction/apology.
Why? because they're not errors, poor journalism, ineptness. It is editorial direction to manipulate public opinion.

They might not be perfect, But it beats the fuck out of me that so many in Scotland prefer Westminster parties than the SNP.
Westminster has had 300 years to get it right for us & they still make an arse of it & themselves. Mired in corruption, sleaze & sex scandals.
Surely we could do better?

"Farage wants to constrain Scotland.He wants to take away Scotland’s devolved powers and also all of our (own) money.
Perhaps even ending devolution, which will be easy for him to do as he seems to be keen to adopt the same playbook as Trump, in him seeking to create a similar future dictatorship"

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Let's be real, Trump, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage have all been involved with Russia. They're all highly sexist, racist, they all have the same ideals because Brexit and all that is happening now is a Russian conspiracy. It's been in the works for years and people need to be charged for their part.

Just a thought, the £10 Christmas Bonus for Pensioners and those on some other benefits was introduce in 1972 , an amount that made a tremendous difference then. £10 is probably worth today about £120 but this bonus has never changed. Is it worth the admin cost or Is it time to review the value ? 🤔
