The pro-Farage framing of #bbcqt. Questioner asks: "Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?" Fiona Bruce says "have English as a second language." Caption changes the meaning entirely: "Don't speak fluent English." Shocking editorialising.

Losers Gullis and Ben Bradley, now possibly disgraced Scott Benton will join Reform. Farage admits his party lacks experience. But recruits the morons and the pisstakers to make up for that.
Reform: Loitering around the Tory bins seeing what bits of their stinking rubbish they can recycle.

The reality is that the Labour government was shamed into lifting the 2 child benefit cap by the SNP 🏴 government because they were planning to lift it in 🏴in April 26, whilst instigating the game changing, unique Scottish Child Payment in 2021! Lab MPs lost the whip!

New CBI report shows business investment in Scotland is at a 20-year high.
Despite damaging Westminster decisions like Brexit or Labour's tax on jobs, our economy has many strengths.
Imagine how much more we could do with the full powers of independence.

It's perfectly possible that Farage's Reform could spend £1m - 1/10th of the donations the party has received from millionaires - to skew the Scottish general election in May 2026. Meanwhile the genuinely Scottish parties (SNP & Scottish Greens) have to rely on tiny donations from we plebs. 😡🤬😡🤬

Nigel Farage wants to cut Scotland's budget by scrapping the Barnett Formula.
Without the direct link through the Barnett formula Westminster can say 100mill for England's NHS and 1mill for Scotland's.
Why would anyone in Scotland vote for that.
