'The idea that the problems of the country are caused by immigrants is an absolute falsehood, fallacy, and it suits people like Nigel Farage to make people believe that, because actually the problems of the country are caused by people like him, the proponents of Brexit' 👇
Hope resides in our young people. But Brexit has held them back.
They should be able to live, work and study in Europe, which is exactly what our Youth Experience Scheme will deliver.
This is part of rebuilding a stronger relationship with Europe. That's the Labour choice.
Reform voter talking about Muslims.
“Welcome to England, every city is like this.”
These are the types of hateful people Reform and Restore Britain attract.
They hate us.
@JohnSwinney Ffs just stop throwing our money away to other country’s. And at the same time stop illegals coming in to Scotland too
No passport no entry. Simple
I promised during this campaign to devote my life to the service of Scotland.
While it's still early, I’m profoundly grateful to the people of Scotland for placing their trust in the SNP again.
I will do all I can to build a more successful country and improve people’s lives.
We wake up to Reform dominating British politics. As Muslims, we should be very worried about the future of Britain.
We have a few years until the general election.
A Reform government and Farage as PM are very depressing.
@UKLabour You lied. You said change for the better. You have made it worse with immigration. Your time is up. Give a general election and let us have Rupert Lowe. And reform. That’s a real change for the better
Labour was elected to change this country.
That is what the public want, and what they deserve.
Tough days like today don’t weaken our determination to deliver that change. They strengthen it.
I consistently stood up for Scotland’s whisky industry against US tariffs, and I am delighted that the tariffs have been lifted.
I am standing to lead a government that gets things done. The SNP will always stand up for Scotland. 🏴
@Keir_Starmer If the caring white British are right wing and racist. Why do we not want the chines deported?
Answer. They have integrated and contribute to being here. Starmer. You and your policy and ideology is the issue. You have changed Labour for the worse. GO
Yesterday’s terror attack wasn’t an isolated incident, it was the latest attack on the Jewish community for being Jewish.
Today I spoke with volunteers, first responders from Shomrim and Hatzola to thank them for their bravery.
I know that this is a deeply worrying time for the whole community.
My government is taking immediate action.
We’ve increased enhanced funding for police patrols and protective security and we’re fast-tracking legislation to deal with malign state actors.
My message to Jewish people is this: you belong here, and we will do everything we can to keep you safe.
No Chinese baby was ever born speaking Chinese. No German baby was ever born speaking German. No English baby was ever born speaking English. They had to listen to their parents to learn the language. No one is born racist, they're taught racism, stop teaching it. WE ARE ALL ONE.
It would be completely wrong for a Government to stand by and allow companies to make excess profits from a war.
That’s why we’re taxing these windfall profits to help with the cost of living.
And why the Tories, Reform and the SNP are utterly wrong to oppose the windfall tax.
Labour is putting money back in parents’ pockets through our Plan for Change:
🍴Expanding free school meals
🥣Free breakfast clubs
🏫Cheaper uniforms
📚School based nurseries
We’re giving children the best start, nothing less.
@DundeeFC Samuel’s gave Ryan strain the easiest day of his life. Totally different game if Halliday and yogane started today
Must win next week. Samuel’s. Take a holiday early please. Bit like today
@DundeeFC Cheating fucking refs and var again. Why can one shirt pull be giving and yet Billy’s shirt pulls not. Fucking disgrace. Get Scottish corrupt officials out of Scotland now
I want everyone to have access to culture, regardless of their background.
That’s why the SNP will introduce a Youth Culture Pass for everyone who turns 18, based on similar schemes in France and Italy - worth £200, which can be spent in theatres, concerts or bookshops.
Latest on the UK economy before the Iran conflict...
- NEW today: borrowing: falling, down by £20bn last year
- inflation: falling
- unemployment: falling
- interest rates: 6 cuts, more to come
We were making good progress, and had set ourselves up to be more resilient against shocks with £24bn headroom and support for families, taking £117 off bills.
