Predicted FM whose top political priority is criticising Labour would misrepresent Reeves.She of course rejecting Thatcher approach at length(privatisation,role of state,income inequality,non inclusive,etc)similarity being 1979 an inflection point as 2024 will be very differently

Please spare a few moments to remember what happened at my old school in Dunblane. 16 little people murdered with their loving teacher, 28 years ago today. The snowdrop is our flower. A reflection of Spring certainly, but also of lives lost and tears shed.♥️

Have lost all respect for SNP MPs after disgraceful OTT behaviour of last 2 days.Speaker maybe went against convention but(1)for understandable if misjudged reasons(2)ridiculous to scream democratic outrage when ScotParl has dealt with opposition motions in this way for 25 years.

So controversial finish to Fra v Sco where TMO bottled it. Tell me France try wasn't forward too.... and they didn't review. Pass from standing at back of ruck. Camera at half way line and arms going forward... no? @SixNationsRugby #AsOne @Scotlandteam
#AsOne @Scotlandteam anyone know why the Oz Ref is playing different rules for France #15phases but not one phase for Scotland?! – at Edinburgh, Scotland
#AA Driving School don't take lessons from these people. They think it's OK to stick one of their cars in a disabled space with no blue badge! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

A historic victory for community-owned housing happened in Glasgow tonight.
Against all odds, the members of Dennistoun's Reidvale Housing Association rallied and voted to reject a takeover by a huge London-based housing group by a resounding 138 to 70.
People Make Glasgow!
Exactly! Hx

Children with special needs are not weird or odd. They want what everyone else's wants to be accepted! Can I make a request? Is anyone willing to copy and paste this in honour of all the children made in a unique way. Let's see who has a strong heart.❤️
Me too!
Happy New Year!! What New Year’s resolutions would you like for accessible , affordable and available travel in Scotland?? I’ll go first - I’d like people to stop parking in blue badge spaces without a blue badge. #Accessible #Affordable #Available #NewBeginnings2024

Suella Braverman used £25k of expenses to pay her parents Energy Bills for 5 years when she occasionally stayed there rent free.
Then she calls other people scroungers.

If you look back at who was ultimately responsible for under-privileged children in the UK getting free school meals, it wasn't the Education Secretary - it was footballer Marcus Rashford.
If you want advice about how to make ends meet during the cost of living crisis, you don't get it from the Chancellor of the Exchequer - you get it from financial journalist Martin Lewis.
And if you want to know the truth about pollution caused by water companies releasing raw sewage into UK rivers & seas, you don't get it from the Secretary of State for the Environment - you get it from the ex lead singer of The Undertones, Fergal Sharkey.
And it’s not just a national thing, it's a global thing:
If you want a reasonable viewpoint on a solution to the problems of Israel and Palestine, you def won't get it from Joe Biden or even the UN 🇺🇳 - for that you have to talk to Barbra Streisand (Dec 9) and 18 year old Tal Mitnick (Dec 26) ⬇️
