"BBC News - Ed Miliband says UK will 'resolutely uphold' Falkland Islands self-determination - BBC News."
But of course NOT Scotland's right to self determination!

Put aside how Manchester became "North" to anyone living in Scotland & pause for a moment to consider how much taxpayers money this duplication nonsense is costing! I've experienced relocation costs; they don't come cheap.

Putting the rights & wrongs of this dispute to one side. As a former HRD & TU negotiator my jaw dropped at Starmer's negotiation technique here. Nothing like threatening the BMA to make them dig in further. Who's he been taking advice from Donald Trump?

"Bloody migrants, coming over here & taking our jobs, living off benefits....." Oh hang on!
Not what Farage & his mates want you to hear.

Absolutely gutless by Starmer; again! bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce84073m…
Iran war latest: UK agrees to let US use British bases to strike Iranian sites targeting Strait of Hormuz - BBC News
But Starmer thought that Mandelson was suitable to be be British ambassador to USA! Woeful naivety or total incompetence?

14 years in opposition; now less than 6 months in government & Labour have run out of ideas for the whole basis of their "change" agenda; economic growth.

Arrested & charged so quickly Police Scotland didn't have time to put up a blue tent in his front garden or invite the media round to watch. That'll be a Labour council leader then!

IFS: "..further undermining trust." That translates as Labour & Tories are both lying. An economy essentially the same size in five years is in huge part due to minus 4% GDP every year due to Brexit. Labour won't face up to that & it makes everyone poorer.

Starmer & Labour stagger from chaos to crisis as Sue Gray quits an already sinking ship. Change? What change?

The waste of UK taxpayers money on HS2 is eye-watering on a project that was only ever going to benefit some English cities. Here in Scotland it puts the Ferguson Marine situation into some sort of perspective!

Corruption, cronyism & hypocrisy
from Labour & according to the Cabinet Secretary directly authorised by Keir Starmer! Change? What change?

The Analysis by David Wallace Lockhart of @BBCScotlandNews is laughable in it's bias; " Scottish Tory leadership contest....a bit ill tempered."
Can you imagine if this was the SNP. It would "internal civil war; SNP bloodbath; SNP debacle; SNP crisis,etc.

Defined benefit pension schemes are massively expensive & benefits cannot be sustained with current & future demographics. Private sector employers have in the main closed them to new members or future contributions & gone for defined contribution schemes.

A month since the election & Labour Minister under investigation for failure to declare property income. Change? What change?

Having worked principally in the sector, great to see increasing manufacturing jobs in Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland. Written off by many of our politicians, but manufacturing can lead real economic growth in Scotland.

Hey, @BBCScotlandNews you seem to have missed this positive story about Scotland. Not quite right for your agenda?
