Death rates rise when NHS England cuts back on nursing.

Higher deaths where hospitals replace nurses lower-paid staff.

NHS budget depleted by PFI, energy bills.

Hospitals lost 1936 nurses & 4240 support staff in this financial year.

Govt enacting barriers to foreign recruitment.

Global criminals love the UK bit.ly/4p3co0F an estimated £700 billion of dirty money passed through UK in past seven years, but only £6.8 billion was frozen and £1.9 billion permanently recovered under powers that are seldom used
Less than a third of frozen criminal assets recovered under ‘McMafia’ laws
A report found despite powers to crack down on corrupt elites, Britain is still being used to harbour illicit wealth

Finland found a simple solution to homelessness:
Give people homes first. Providing small apartments to those in need, they cut costs & helped rebuild their lives.
Stable housing reduced hospital visits, emergency services, & other crisis costs.
Compassion & common sense can go hand in hand.

'Removing the two-child cap doesn't suddenly make UK welfare generous. The overall benefits cap remains. Housing support is detached from real rents. Conditionality, sanctions and suspicion remain the organising logic of Universal Credit.'

I agree and have consistently found the vast majority of people ,even the more educated ones,are ignorant of the reserved powers and the powers taken from the devolved governments after Brexit We need a full public information programme
The Scots MSM will only do their "job" as long as it shows Scotland, the SNP, and the Indy movement in a negative context
What do you expect from unionist mouthpieces?
In the run up to HR26 I think a campaign explaining the devolved and reserved powers would be helpful
Many ppl don't understand

Scotland stands proudly with Palestine.

Back in October #SNP25 had the honour of welcoming Palestinian Ambassador Dr Husam Zomlot.

"The sudden and strident religiosity of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Limited is not a grassroots spiritual revival. It is a strategic corporate alignment, underscored by the party’s recent launch of a dedicated Christian affiliate wing."

What do you call a group working within a nation against its interests? Fifth Columnists? Subversives? Insurgents? Rebels? Traitors? Collaborators?
We just call them BBC Scotland!

People don't understand what Neoliberalism is or that almost all politicians are Neoliberals

It's the belief the State should provide nothing, that everything should be privatised, and the taxes you pay are simply to subsidise their profits

It is how it was in the 19th century

There's a word for selling political influence for cash... (sadly Reform aren't the first to do so)

Tories & now Labour are defunding NHS England & therefore NHS Scotland. A major new study shows that hospitals which cut registered nurses or replaced them with lower-paid staff saw a surge in death rates. Staffing at 122 NHS English trusts over 4yr was analysed.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Frankly, if the worst the rich have got to complain about is VAT on public school fees and a ban on fox hunting, they're doing pretty bloody well
