In the the words of Starmer’s secret internal memo circulated within his Labour Party … Even if the Scottish Parliament UNANIMOUSLY passes a law in Scotland, supported by EVERY party/MSP … on a matter which is well within Scotland’s devolved powers … That democratic decision can be vetoed by a single UK Govt minister at his sole discretion 👀 #voteSNP for #ScottishIndependence🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #LabourLies

A re-elected SNP government will deliver 150,000 apprenticeships over the next Parliament and introduce an Apprenticeship Accelerator Grant to help young people build skills, confidence and a real path into work. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

BBC Scotland is actively trying to suppress turnout as we enter the final days of the Holyrood campaign. Presenters and reporters are insisting the public has switched off, is scunnered, bored or fed up. This morning it was even suggested not voting was a positive thing to do. At the same time it's started pushing Reform friendly narratives in a move designed to agitate the party's voting bloc. Asylum seekers jumping the housing queue and too many young Scots going to university are just two such issues being pushed by the station. Offord's profile is being raised at the same time. They know the SNP is going to win this election. The BBC will do all it can to make the margin of victory as small as it can.

This is a huge independence poll, a reversal of the 2014 independence referendum result :x.com/ammacj/status/… Is it a surprise? Absolutely not, all recent polling shows this to be now a trend towards Scottish independence.

This account works tirelessly for Scottish independence. I endorse this post 100% x.com/msm_monitor/st…

@mhdksafa Thank you, Mohamad. I didn't know most of that. It really changes things for me.

In 1290 all Jews were driven out of England. In 1306 they were expelled from France. In 1430 exiled from Germany, followed by Spain and Portugal. Boycotted in Italy, and time after time tossed out of every major European city. After the centuries of expulsions, in 1492, Muslims (The Ottoman Empire) opened their doors for the Jewish. in the late 17th and 18th centuries, as the Ottoman Empire became less stable, Jews were finally allowed back into England after 366 years of total banishment. After 1848, hundreds of thousands of Jews left Central Europe to escape rising nationalism and "pogroms" (anti-Jewish riots). After WWI, Britain took control of Palestine from the Ottomans. From 1917 to 1939, Muslims (Palestine) opened their doors for the Jewish as usual. In 2026, some Western politicians lecturing us (Muslims) on how to live peacefully with Jews! Read some history.

Voter apathy may result in a low turnout out due to the UKGov chaos of Labour and tories. More reason to get out and vote in huge numbers and #voteSNP A majority is within our reach but a majority of voters for SNP will secure legitimacy

THIS IS INSANE!!!🤯 China just made it ILLEGAL to fire a human worker and replace them with AI.. and the way they found out is insane.. a quality assurance supervisor named Zhou worked at an AI company in Hangzhou.. his job was verifying AI-generated content.. matching user queries with model outputs.. filtering hallucinations and illegal content.. he was literally training the AI to do his own job.. once the model got good enough.. the company told him they were moving him to a lower position.. with a 40% pay cut.. from 25,000 yuan to 15,000.. he refused.. they fired him.. he sued.. and won.. the Hangzhou court ruled that replacing a human with AI is not a valid reason to fire someone.. period.. their logic.. adopting AI is a voluntary business decision.. not an earthquake.. not a government shutdown.. not a force majeure event.. it's a choice the company made to save money.. and because it's a choice.. the company has to absorb the cost of that transition.. not dump it on the worker.. this wasn't a one-off ruling either.. in Beijing.. a map data collector named Liu spent over a decade manually collecting geographic data.. the company switched to AI-automated data collection.. eliminated his entire department.. fired him.. he sued.. won.. exact same reasoning.. AI adoption is a proactive business strategy.. not an unforeseeable external shock.. and here's what's happening in the background that makes these rulings so urgent.. unemployment for chinese workers aged 25 to 29 just hit a record 7.7%.. the highest since they started tracking that age group separately.. companies across china are literally forcing employees to document their daily workflows so AI models can learn to replace them.. workers are training their own replacements and they know it.. a 24-year-old engineer built an open-source tool called "Colleague.Skill" that scrapes your work chat history, emails, code commits, and documents.. and creates a digital clone of you that can do your exact job after you're gone.. he meant it as a dark joke.. it got 13,400 stars on GitHub in three weeks.. top 0.1% of all projects globally.. because it wasn't really a joke.. it was exactly what companies were already doing to their employees.. workers in Shanghai and Beijing told MIT Technology Review that management was actively coercing them to document everything specifically to train AI replacements.. china's response.. make it illegal.. the State Council launched the "AI Plus" initiative.. a ten-year plan that explicitly mandates AI must augment workers.. not replace them.. companies must use AI to upgrade existing roles.. not eliminate them.. by 2027.. smart devices and AI agents must reach 70% penetration.. by 2030.. over 90%.. but the growth has to create jobs.. not destroy them.. now compare this to the US.. in america.. at-will employment means your company can fire you and replace you with AI tomorrow.. no warning.. no severance negotiation.. no retraining obligation.. as long as they're not discriminating based on race, age, or disability.. it's perfectly legal.. there is no federal law protecting american workers from AI displacement.. none.. california proposed a bill requiring just 30 days notice before deploying AI that affects employment.. that's the most aggressive protection any US state has attempted.. china made it illegal to fire you.. america doesn't even require a heads up.. and here's the irony nobody is talking about.. china.. the country the west accuses of having no worker protections.. just gave its workers more protection from AI than any democracy on earth.. the question isn't whether AI will replace jobs.. it's whether your country will protect you when it does.
