I pay more tax... Scotland definitely has better services than England ... and at any age you can study at University for free!

@AnnieWells2026 I moved back to Scotland 2.5 years ago Annie. Paying that income tax rate. But I don't notice it because my council tax is lower on a comparable property and I don't have an additional £700 separate water bill. I'm more than happy to be paying my way for services in Scotland 👍

After Scottish independence the credit rating of the UK will be adversely affected. It will be damaged for years because nearly 5.5 million Scots will no longer be part of their tax base. A sum that cannot be replaced overnight without raising taxes in the rUK. Meanwhile an independent Scotland will have its own credit rating backed by renewable energy, oil, and the hard work of ordinary Scots. Scotlands future is independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@marshallscore @Hamill2086John @thomas_bhoy @BBCScotlandNews Bet you said that about the Tories and Labour. Oh wait.... Reform are full of failed Tories.

@Hamill2086John @thomas_bhoy @BBCScotlandNews Utter nonsense 😂😂😂😂

@sungleeiq @Judith54Nunn Wait, so Iran blocking a shipping route is crossing the line… but starving Cuba of oil to wreck their economy is just normal policy???

NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED THE SITUATION IN THE PERSIAN GULF ACTUALLY IS. 3,200 ships are TRAPPED in the Persian Gulf right now. Crews are running out of drinking water. One ship called the local port authority and BEGGED for permission to dock — just to get water. They were DENIED. 💀 Let that sink in. These aren't military ships. These are commercial vessels — carrying oil, grain, electronics — with civilian crews who are now stranded with NO supplies and NO way out. – 3,200 ships STUCK ⚠️ – Crews running out of WATER 💀 – Port authorities REFUSING to let them dock ⚠️ – Multiple ships reporting the SAME situation 💀 ⚠️ For context — the Suez Canal crisis in 2021 blocked 400 ships. This is EIGHT TIMES worse. And nobody is talking about it. They're showing you missile interceptions and oil price charts. They're NOT showing you thousands of crew members slowly running out of drinking water in the middle of a war zone. If these ships start getting abandoned, the environmental disaster alone would be catastrophic. Thousands of tons of fuel, cargo, chemicals — just sitting there. This is not a shipping disruption. This is a HUMANITARIAN CRISIS unfolding in real time. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 X is hiding this. Follow + RT before it disappears. 🔥

IRAN JUST DEPLOYED A MISSILE THAT NO ONE ON EARTH CAN INTERCEPT For 70 years, missile defense was simple. You shoot it down before it hits. Iran just proved that is no longer possible. The Fattah-2 launched. Israel fired 10 interceptors. All 10 missed. The missile hit a fortified IDF command center. 7 senior officers dead. Here is why this changes everything. A hypersonic glide vehicle does NOT fly in a straight line. It goes to the edge of the atmosphere. Then it glides back down — changing direction, changing altitude, moving at Mach 15. That is roughly 18,000 km per hour. No radar in the world tracks that well enough to intercept it. Iron Dome — the most famous missile defense on earth — was built for this exact threat. It failed. And Iran is already testing Fattah-3, which launches 15 separate warheads from ONE missile. Iron Dome cannot track 15 targets coming at Mach 15 simultaneously. Israel spent $20 billion building a defense system. Iran just made it obsolete. Oil hit $126 per barrel this week because of exactly this threat. If you think this stays in the Middle East, you haven't been paying attention.

Europe doesn't even let the US use its airspace, we are letting them use our airfields. If there is an attack on the UK we will all know why.

The Tories gave 23 contracts to Palantir Labour gave the 24th contract to Palantir to implement its software in Coventry City Council. Coventry City Council signed a £500,000 contract with Palantir to use AI for transcribing and summarising notes in child services, the first known deal between a UK local authority and the company. The Coventry contract is small potatoes compared to what Labour has done at the national level. Palantir hired four ex-MoD officials in 2025 alone, and held official meetings with the Prime Minister, six cabinet ministers, and senior officials from the Cabinet Office, the Treasury, and the Home Office. Questions have been raised in Parliament about whether Peter Mandelson, who was a controlling shareholder in Global Counsel, which had Palantir as a client, played any role in the December 2025 £240 million MoD contract. The 10 new contracts are all extensions to the previous ones.

@UKGovScotland @D_G_Alexander @forthports That is so embarrassing. Douglas Alexander trying to pretend that HE was somehow relevant in any of this happening. Anyone who has been following the plans for this will know that he, as usual, is boasting about someone else's work.

Now you know why they've covered the entire perimeter in tarps at RAF Fairford. 👇 They don't want you to see THIS: the massive piles of 2,000lb bombs being loaded onto US bombers for Iran strikes. Keir Starmer is complicit in war crimes (again).

Another belter for the UN @SSalyers2 @LiberationScot @thomsonchris ''We as a party need to convince Scotland, that it is still a valuable part of England.'' Yvette Cooper.

So according to the fascist Farage, Welsh people speaking their own native language in Wales are foreigner's: x.com/WalesOnline/st… Deform are not only racist, they are fascist & very dangerous people.

This from Helen who doesn’t want to help children or other families & claimed £3,250 per month from the taxpayer for a second home in London, & she only lives in Faversham, Kent. Those who feast at the public trough have the loudest lectures on frugality #bbcbreakfast #r4today
