Nobody pays a blind bit of attention to Sarwar.
You did it because you have to hand back, however reluctantly, at least some of our vast contribution to UK coffers.

While avoiding acknowledgment that Scotgov is well ahead in mitigating child poverty. The only part of UK where poverty figures are improving.

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?

Giving some credit to SNP do you mean?

Didn't hear her say that once again WM follows Scotgov's lead.

Neither did I hear her say that the 'generous' amount being 'given'(dripping with disdain and sarcasm) to Scotland is just a proportion of Scotland's contribution to the Exchequer.

(Add feeble attempt to give Sarwar some credibility.)

I assume he isn't referring to families in those countries but to families who have chosen to make their homes in Britain.
Does he exclude familes from Australia Ukraine Canada Switzerland too?
Why are they not included in his rant?
Grow up and get a grip!

Wow! Scottish water.
Much cheaper? Much cleaner?
What possible explanation is there for that?

Why is Farage denying his racism? His supporters want to hear more of it.

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.

Solidarity with the staff and families facing this.

Agree 100%. Positive supportive integration. Can't see what's to complain about (apart from the bigoted protesters)

20 years ago I was teaching in a Dundee primary school where English classed were offered to local mums. Great response and classes were relaxed n happy after initial shyness.
Classroom teachers and resources not affected at all.
Excellent project. Keep it up!

As a Scot watching USA from afar, I'd say Americans have more important problems to deal with!
