Supposedly #Streeting has done a ‘great job with #NHSEngland’ - if you ignore:- hospitals paid to cut patients from waiting lists, GPs no longer allowed to directly refer patients, replacement of Drs by non-medical ‘Associates’, new #PFI, more privatisation and of course STRIKES!

Starmer chose to appoint the Prince of Darkness. And that Darkness has now enveloped him.

Extraordinary. Hard to now accept that Starmer didn’t lie to the Commons when he said that due process had been followed.

Reading shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be accessible to all. A re-elected SNP government will expand access to free books for children across Scotland, in partnership with The Dollywood Foundation UK. On May 7, make it both votes SNP for a Scottish Government that’s on your side.

Fair play. He’s nailed that.

It shouldn’t be this way.

On day one of a new SNP government, I will demand powers over energy to be transferred to the Scottish Parliament - so we can cut bills, protect jobs and unlock investment. If Westminster will not bring your bills down, they should get out of the way for a government that will.

MESSAGE I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach. Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace. An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters. I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end. DALAI LAMA 31 March 2026
