I pay 1% more tax than my colleagues in england doing the same job.

That 1% ensures that the lowest earners in Scotland pay less tax and take home more money.

I am happy to do this.

I am happy to pay a little bit more tax so that the poorest in society see some benefits.

“There is no such thing as Palestine. There are no such people as Palestinians”.

Change ‘Palestine/Palestinian’ for ‘Israel/Israeli’ and the accusations of antisemitism would flood in.

MAGA is angry because two weekend soldiers have been shot.

MAGA doesn’t care when 300 school kids are shot each year.

If Farage had just admitted, apologised and repented his teenage racism - water under the bridge. But the fact that he has denied the truth and maligned those saying it NEARLY FIFTY YEARS ON, indicates to me not only his untrustworthiness, but that these antisemitic beliefs are not so historic

Trump claims no murders in D.C. for the last six months at the Turkey pardon.

Remember, there are poor people, people struggling to live a decent life, people living a hungry and hard existence, yet they are absolutely against taxing the billionaires and corporations fairly.

They’ve been gaslit into blaming migrants and refugees for all of their problems.

Sad.

Are jury trials fair?

…In Scotland..conviction rate for rape is consistently much lower than for other crimes: in 2021/22 ..conviction rate for rape and attempted rape was 48%, compared to 84% for all crimes and 88% for all crimes and offences.

If the current, or previous, prime minister was proven to be a vicious racist and anti semite it would be headline news.

Yet.

The next prime minister has been proven to be a vicious racist and anti semite and it is barely mentioned in the news. 🤷‍♀️
