@DrUmM1St @Pirat_Nation Its not the place of the state to protect children, thats the parents role. This is state scope creep

@Pirat_Nation None of you idiots read. It will not affect ANY adult who smokes. It's not doing anything to you. It's protecting our children from future PREVENTABLE harm. Smoking is poisen and a country that legally allows a company too sell poisen to the public shouldn't exist.

Parliament has passed the UK’s Tobacco and Vapes Bill to create the first smoke-free generation. From 2027 the legal age to buy cigarettes and tobacco will rise by one year every single year. Anyone born on or after 1 January 2009 will never be legally able to purchase them in their lifetime. Current adult smokers are completely unaffected, this only targets future generations.

@Pirat_Nation More nanny state....this is how is starts, target the things people can agree on, then once the precedent is set, target the things that for only those who disagree with them

@ForexNorthStar @theSNP The will probably have to set up an entire quango with its own office to administer it...

@theSNP Private Jet use in Scotland is minimal. On viewing flightradar24 data we appear to have one of the quietest airspace in Europe. What are the projected figures for this scheme and how much will it cost to administer?

A re-elected SNP government will introduce a Private Jet Tax and a Mansion Tax on homes worth over £1 million, making the wealthiest pay more to help support local services across Scotland. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

@theSNP Nothing like a dose of socialist envy to fix an economy. This is the language totalitarianism "..making the wealthiest pay.."

@InnesMcgarry and this is exactly why left wing policies so often fail in practice. Your view of the world is filtered through the need to virtue signal rather than deal with reality. Take your line: “Do people who work full time pulling pints or in bakeries not deserve a living wage?” You present that as though it settles the argument and places you on the moral high ground. It does not. It simply exposes a basic misunderstanding of how work, skills, wages and markets actually function. Some jobs are low skill by nature. Because they require less training, less responsibility, and are easier to fill, they do not command the same wages as highly skilled work, and there is nothing unjust about that. That is how labour markets operate. For many people, these roles are entry level jobs, temporary jobs, or stepping stones to something better. They help people gain experience, discipline, and a work record. They were never meant to be treated as the benchmark for the entire wage structure. The real solution is not endless political grandstanding or pretending every job carries the same economic value. It is to create an economy where people can progress, build skills, earn more over time, and move up. That means growth, opportunity, training, and productivity, not slogans. You do not help working people by reducing every debate to emotional posturing. You help them by telling the truth.

Do people who work full time pulling pints or in bakeries not deserve a living wage?

@campbellclaret There was no immigration problem full stop ,before you or you globalist master Blair ... there's a thought!

I’m sure the media will remind them there was no small boats issue before Brexit

@pix3lpro @Artemisfornow Are you for real? WTF? You want a world where a tiny group of degenerate morally corrupt, most likely sociopaths control everyone like mini gods? Your fear of conflict is so great you would surrender every freedom you have. You sir are a coward.

@Artemisfornow The WEF had a plan to manage this transition and include everyone, but you nutters rejected it and now we are going to end up with war and hardship. Well done.

I’m bored of telling you that all the parties are lying to you. Because if they told you the truth they wouldn’t be elected. Britain is nearly bankrupt and politicians have no idea where this ‘mythical’ growth to cover obscene spending will come from Because they can’t! There isn’t any. The working-age population is shrinking, the number of people claiming benefits is rising, and the public sector, funded by the private sector, is ballooning. AI is on track to replace huge amounts of white-collar jobs in the next 10–15 years. All of these people will be jobless and needing to claim benefits. Which we won’t be able to afford to pay! The guff about “net zero” and “green jobs” is bollocks (technical term) Those jobs only exist during the construction phase, after that, these are largely automated industries. As for those shouting about Universal Basic Income er … from where? How would it be funded? You’re dreaming. And those saying we can just tax the corporations, they’re dreaming too. They’ll just operate from outside the UK. And to control you … as you demand pay rises and more benefits? Well a near total clampdown of speech and thought through legislation and censorship and those Digital IDs, “just so you behave yourself.” There really is little growth, even trades will be hit because the population won’t have the money to buy their services. We’re are in a badly managed decline, with grossly under qualified and incapable leadership in any party at all. And all those screaming to tax the wealthy? You’re just morons. I’m annoyed 💣

@saccharinegreen Don't worry Rhys you will hopefully grow up one day. You may even stop all your inane virtue signalling.

wasn’t really looking forward to having to vote snp on the constituency ballot but now that i know they’re communist i can’t wait! 💛☭

@donmcgowan Shut up you posturing insufferable wanker

I wonder if Reform UK sought the express permission of parents, to use images of their children online? As a parent of a school age kid, I have to sign all sorts to give consent for this type of situation. This is a genuine safeguarding issue.

@johnadgrady Perhaps if you had not shoehorned in absurd cycle lanes and actually filled in some of the craters in the roads, traffic would flow better. Just a thought, you know, common sense and all that.

Dr McArthur is correct - Glasgow's roads and public transport are at a gridlock. I raised this at the UK Parliament this week. Good transport is essential for economic growth. We need to get Glasgow moving.

@thecourtglasgow @ReformUKScot @thecourtglasgow Paul Bennie for Reform is a good guy, works hard for the NHS.

Looks like is going to be 2 Donkey race for the #Glasgow Central seat between the ex MP Gravy Train Terf Hunter Alison Thewliss #snp and Vonnie Sandlan for #labour ffs ! You would think it was rigged. I think I’ll have to pick the @ReformUKScot candidate. #MSP

Bypassing #EU #AgeVerification using their own infrastructure. I've ported the Android app logic to a Chrome extension - stripping out the pesky step of handing over biometric data which they can leak... and pass verification instantly. Step 1: Install the extension Step 2: Register an identity (just once) Step 3: Continue using the web as normal The extension detects the QR code, generates a cryptographically identical payload and tells the verifier I'm over 18, which it "fully trusts". This isn't a bug... it's a fundamental design flaw they can't solve without irrevocably tying a key to you personally; which then allows tracking/monitoring. Of course, I could skip the enrolment process entirely and hard-code the credentials into the extension... and the verifier would never know.

@LaurenOxleyx @JohnSwinney @theSNP 🤣 No .... this is a packed room ...

@WingsScotland Literally queuing for their benefits 🤣

There are around 70 people in this queue, most of whom are visibly identifiable as SNP MSPs, councillors, candidates and activists.

@LauraEWebsterr Their weekly shop is not affordable because your Net Zero madness and high taxes have taken the hard earned cash out of their pockets... but hey where does common sense come into SNP fantasy land politics

Reform and co are going to be up in arms shouting about Marxism again - which is going to sound mental to people who just want their weekly shop to be remotely affordable

This is a great policy announcement because: 1) it's actual action on cost of living, not vague pledges to "tackle" it (eg Labour) 2) the furious reaction from the right exposes that the people who claim to be on the side of regular folk mainly care about shareholder's profits

@JohnSwinney Here John this is how you do a manifesto launch.... unlike that sad little gathering 🤣...

We will cap prices for essential food items, and cap all bus fares at £2. We will further improve our NHS, with more GP walk-in centres across Scotland. And we will bring hope with the fresh start of independence. The SNP is on Scotland’s side 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 snp.org/manifesto

@GMcdoggy @OlafSNP Ordinary folks are the ones paying for the SNP freebies, the ones getting a 'better' life are the benefits scroungers and PIP chancers

@OlafSNP Oh, that pesky SNP trying to make life better for ordinary folk.....cue the rabid unionists to downplay it all. Vote SNP for a better life for all.

The SNP’s bold package on the cost of living: 🚌 £2 bus fare cap across Scotland 🍝 Cap on prices for essential foods 🍎 Free breakfast clubs for every primary school 🏡 Up to £10,000 support for first-time buyers 🚸 Expanded childcare, from 9 months old to 12 years old

@GriftReport Most likely an ex-girlfriend ....

Birmingham "locals" spit roast an "animal" on the side of the road ....did it go "woof woof" or did it go "meow meow" ?

@ScienceQriosity @EMackintosh1 @theSNP No, the future is Nuclear, fission then eventually fusion Pretending we can generate our energy needs from wind and solar (in Scotland 😂) is deranged virtue signalling twaddle. The fact we have to heavily subsidise this and end up with the most expensive bills in the world.

@BytewareAI @EMackintosh1 @theSNP Renewables are the future regardless of what you think. We need oil for medicines and plastics, so we need to stop burning the stuff. Renewables and storage on individual properties prevents us being vulnerable to c*nts like trump and tha vagueries of his war mongering.
