If the SNP cured cancer the Scotsman would moan about the drug companies losing money.

BBC Scotland is once again caricaturing Scotland as being like a war zone during bonfire night. Similar incidents happen across the UK at this time of year but aren't caricatured by the BBC. No politics and no tabloid melodrama. Here's one example from the north of England.

64% said they were satisfied not bad really when only 25% said they were satisfied with Westminster.

Labour were voted out of Wales after 27 abysmal years running the Senedd. 10% of the vote in May.
But they refuse to respect democracy, they will force their policies on Wales whether the people voted for them or not.
Every single Labour MP must be voted out at the GE
If the Welsh Plaid Government will not commit to the creation of a Wales Defence Technical Excellence college in Wales, we will step in.
We must create the jobs of the future and enhance defence skills to protect our national security.

Remember how Remain Scots and their Government were dismissed when warning about hard Brexit, all compromises were ridiculed and dismissed. Trying not to vomit as we watch Englands media suddenly decide that it was a rather bad idea after all. Not getting at Peter here.

This quietly damning National Audit Office report on UK Government reform of a small part of England’s NHS has been ignored by media.👇
£200 million over annual budget.
£600 million on redundant payments.
Big delays.

England need a devolved parliament & a controlled spending through a block grant just like NI, Sco & Wales - England currently has unlimited spending & an incompetent duopoly parties that obsess on short termism, warmongering & establishment extravagance

📈 One year on from @theSNP scrapping peak rail fares and more than 90 million journeys have been made on ScotRail trains.
🚆 With peak fares gone and fares frozen, The SNP is putting passengers first, helping people save money and encouraging more Scots to choose rail.

Patricia's turn this week to abuse her position as an MP to attack the SNP from the benches of WM. Outwith her jurisdiction but this is now become a weekly pantomime from the useless, pathetic, Scottish Labour MP shills in WM. Tiresome, ineffective, and utterly desperate stuff.
The @UKLabour Govt has delivered a record funding settlement for Scotland - but still our vital public services are struggling.
It's time the SNP Govt stopped the excuses and focused on delivering better public services for people in Glasgow West & across Scotland.

We think we can say without fear of contradiction that Scottish voters didn't vote Labour in 2024 to send House Jocks to London to read out planted questions attacking the SNP and traducing Scotland. Labour's cowardly colonials are a modern day political scandal.

The Chancellor admitted that Scotland’s energy wealth would now be over £1 trillion.
But this wealth doesn’t exist — because the UK Government squandered it and pocketed the profits.
And that’s why Scottish households are paying £1200 more for their energy bills than Labour promised.
Taking control of our energy is not only crucial to build the wealth for Scotland’s future — it’s the only way to ensure that energy rich Scotland isn’t paying some of the highest bills across Europe.

BBC Scotland has been forced to issue yet another correction relating to the SNP after falsely claiming John Swinney had announced plans to take buses into public ownership. How many more 'mistakes' like this are to be allowed before an inquiry is held into the station?

Scotland is an afterthought for the UK Labour Party and it’s no wonder that Scottish Labour is rightly accused of being a branch office
NEW: The SNP have accused Scottish Labour MPs of putting Westminster's interests ahead of Scotland's whisky industry after they backed a controversial increase in alcohol duty
The party have demanded that Scottish Labour leader Michael Marra 'finds his voice on Scotch whisky' after Labour MPs voted in favour of the UK Government's Budget resolution on alcohol duty on Tuesday evening

While sabotaging the transition to renewables, Acorn etc, this is Labours version of what Thatcher did to coal mining communities, but Scotland only. Meanwhile England lays inter connectors taking our electricity to drive investment, jobs, CCS and other industry in Eng🤬
