So this by-election is our best chance to build a better West Lothian together!

So pleased to host young people in Bute House today for an important discussion on eradicating child poverty.

Thank you for setting out your views so powerfully. We’re working to support families and reduce the cost of the school day - and we’ve made real progress, but there’s still more to do.

Left: Shelagh Fogarty dismisses Farage's antisemitism as "idiocy from when he was 12, 13, 14 at school"

Right: Peter Ettedgui, victim of Farage's antisemitism, "Knowing that I was Jewish, he said Hitler was right and gas them, followed by a hissing, imitating the sound of escaping gas"

Labour are actively stripping out Scottish economic growth in a blatant attempt to place a monkey on the back of Scotland's independence drive.
To support a party decimating your own country's future opportunitiea is a near ceiminal.pilitical.stance to take merely to keep the Brit ideology alive.

Imagine, Jimmy Savile's best mate telling you this.

Edinburgh is getting a brand new concert hall, the Dunard Centre - for the first time in 100 years, supported by SNP Scottish Government funding.

“At a conference in Algiers, diplomats and leaders convened to advance an African Union resolution passed at a meeting earlier this year calling for justice and reparations for victims of colonialism.”

Colonialism still shapes our present. Colonial states need to make reparations for their harms.
African nations push for recognition of colonial crimes and reparations
African leaders are pushing to have colonial-era crimes recognized, criminalized and addressed through reparations.

Unionists support in Scotland tends to cluster around the unionist party that’s perceived to be doing best at the time. The same dynamic that gave Labour 37 Scottish MPs is going to see these people shoved straight into the bin.

Reeves’ emergency news conference before her budget: a masterclass in the Bias of Omission & manipulation of the truth. Her aim was to mislead the public & markets that UK finances were in jeopardy.
But this was misleading. The reality from the OBR, was that there was *a surplus* NOT a black-hole.

On the ferry, crossing the Firth of Clyde after a fantastic short break on Arran. We stayed in a brilliant vegan B&B - Stonewater House in Lamlash. Saw otters, red squirrels, eider, mergansers, many shore birds and woodland birds. A stunning place. share.google/AWcMAxYmL56h...

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

No EU reset after all, as Johnson’s exceptionalism & victimhood, continues with Starmer. Labour hardens its support for Johnson’s stupid Hard Brexit voted in by angry English voters & imposed, without consent, on Scotland. Has any Scottish journalist asked Mr Sarwar if he agrees with Starmer?

Hegseth & Trump are going to start a war against innocent people so everyone stops talking about #EpsteinFiles and because they want Venezuela resources and oil of course.

The whole drug story is bullshit.
Hegseth has committed murder by targeting boats and giving the order "kill them all".
Two U.S. Navy F/A-18Es appeared and disappeared from radar off the coast of Venezuela.

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:

Paid holidays

Sick pay

Safer working conditions

Human Rights

Workers Rights

Unions

NHS & healthcare

Social care

Minimum wage

Among many other things.

Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

BBC describing Zarah Sultana as "Far-Left."

But the BBC do not use the term "Far-Right" for Nigel Farage.

In a one-hour speech, Reeves glossed over the arms budget - and yet she plans to increase it by more than NHS spending and is cutting cash for education.

The £2.3bn for lifting the two-child benefit cap is peanuts by comparison.
