Ahead of the budget, which the Scottish Government has had no clarity on, one thing I’m clear on is that Scotland’s budget and Scotland’s choices should not be damaged by the Labour Chancellor’s decisions. The budget that underpins your public services must be protected.

The Prime Minister just told me any party leader should want to get to the bottom of this Russian bribery scandal with Reform.
He is the Prime Minister and a party leader. Why isn't he launching a national investigation himself?

Scotland announced last year it will mitigate child cap from March 2026 & it has been mitigating bedroom tax since 2013- when do you plan to mention us as being way ahead of you in terms of being progressive? Oh, and are you still pro Brexit, which is precisely why all this pain has been inflicted?

Listening to this budget all I can hear is Reeves doing what every other English MP does and that is to throw sarcasm and hatred towards the our Scottish Gov. She states she will give Scotland money! Bloody cheek we give them money and get a pittance back. No other country is given this attitude.

Can the BBC and the rest of the media please stop referring to the US as "the leaders of the free world". By their actions against freedom and democracy they have surely disqualified themselves from this title?

There is a specific, profound cowardice in targeting a primary school.
These are families trying to integrate, learning the language, building a life. To meet that effort with intimidation and hate is absolutely vile.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.
Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.
