πŸ”₯ Mhairi Black πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ rips apart the failed privatisation model which pumps sewage into England's rivers and pumps debt into taxpayers. What a tragedy that Keir Starmer or anyone in his shadow cabinet can't speak with even half of Mhairi's passion and clarity.

There should be a purge of these Tory posh boys and girls. For too long these products of rank and privilege have felt entitled to do what they want when they want and without impunity. That the elitism of Eton and Oxbridge was a passport to a life at the top and so it has been.

Apparently the church service is in Latin. How long are we going to keep condoning a guy who has spent his whole life living in luxury with rank and privilege. It’s as if he was jettisoned 150 years forward from Victorian Britain in HG Wells Time Machine.

Nicola was a shining beacon during the height of the covid pandemic in Scotland. With her daily tv broadcasts she explained what was happening and she helped reassure us we would recover from it. Even many in Labour and Lib Dems praised her. Many in England wished she wss PM.

With the number of policy summersaults that Starmer and his Labour shadow cabinet have performed they should take up gymnastics or entertain in the circus ring.

I’ve often wondered why the SNP doesn’t put up candidates in certain English seats. In areas like Corby, Luton, Coventry where Scots moved to work. If they won seats it would be symbolic, give a foothold in England and give us more seats. After all the Tories stand in Scotland.

I can see a day, not that far off, when Boris, Farage, Fox, Gove, Rees Mogg, Davis and other leading Brexiteers have to seek asylum in other countries. It is thankfully starting to dawn on more people that they were lied to and deceived about Brexit.

I have mixed feelings about Scotland being in NATO post Independence Day. Because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine I can now see the merits of being a member of NATO but I still worry about being part of a β€œbody” that has a first strike option to use nuclear weapons.

How can she sleep at night? Has she no conscience? Why can she and her Tory colleagues not have some empathy for just some of the horrors, pain and persecution most of those seeking asylum have fled from? There is room at the inn. We have workers and skill shortages in the UK.

'I don't think I've ever seen anything quite as grotesque as the painting over of Mickey Mouse on a children's mural .. in a detention centre in Kent.' SNP MP Pete Wishart urges Tories to condemn the act and show compassion. #PMQs

This is a terrible Labour stance: standing with George Osborne's cruelty & attack on welfare, children & families. β€œWe’re not changing that policy" says Keir Starmer on the two-child benefit cap. This when he campaigned as leader for its abolition.

Disability activist praises access improvements at local railway station greenocktelegraph.co.uk/news/23686659.… Some might say better late than never but 29 years is a long time. Never mind lack of funding too often regulations and planning laws still get kicked in to the long grass.
