See how Starmer doesn't answer the question but makes a sly colonial dig at Scotland instead.
Know your place Scots, you can't look after yourselves, and would it hurt you to be grateful to your English overlords? Such a miserable race..../s
"a significant number of female MSPs in the Scottish National party are stepping down before the May 2026 elections, citing lack of support from the party, tolerance of bullying, and abuse in the chamber and online"
Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP and Branchform
A measured assessment (but that will not satisfy the haters and given the comments it has not)
Unionists are desperate to cripple any talk of independence and will do what it takes.
“Dismay in Labour ranks as popularity plummets”, but why the surprise? Lies were told. People voted against Tory policies, Labour vaguely promised undefined change, and now they’re intensifying Toryism instead. Those “fiscal rules” are an invention. Try Keynesian economics once again. It’s not a “difficult decision”, really it’s not.
Oh, by the way, #SNP and #Scottishindependence for this house.
Businesses back SNP for growth
Colour me amazed. The Times reports something vaguely positive about the Scottish government. Although I suspect this was simply necessary to critique #Starmer, #Sarwar and #Labour.
Having said that, businesses that favour ‘Reform’ as a party for growth are either deluded or taking the piss. So the survey is probably useless.
Meantime this has driven the haters mad in the comments.
"I have done nothing wrong, and I don't think there was ever a scrap of evidence that I had done anything wrong."
The moral vacuum that is the Labour Party today.
Speaking of the SNP, now that Sturgeons political career has been destroyed, I see the charges have been dropped.
Funny that.
Mad how half of Scotland just accepts being a Colonial fuckbucket for posh fuckos down South.....
At least the police didn't overreact, with a whole operational siege outside her house or anything
Nicola #Sturgeon is no longer a suspect in #SNP the finances investigation. Her husband, former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, has appeared in court charged with embezzlement

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Following direction from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, criminal enquiries into two people arrested as part of the investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party have now concluded.
"The 73 year-old man (Beattie) arrested on 18 April, 2023, and the 54 year-old woman (Sturgeon ) arrested on 11 June, 2023, have not been charged and are no longer under investigation."
#SNP #Sturgeon

@JackTheCat About time. I don’t believe they are going to find anything they can hang on anyone at all. Utter b*****ds trying to destroy the #SNP and aspirations for Scottish Independence.
It is a given that Sturgeon will always be 'under investigation' and the bulk of the 'British' media will report it as such without question. How long can the 'establishment' keep up this farce? If there was any concern or urgency this would have been investigated and reported competently. However it is clearly in the interests of the state to keep this in the news.
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious Never… it’s being used as a tool to keep the #SNP and #independence for #Scotland off the radar. The fight must regain its energy and continue. I don’t believe they have any evidence, and it’s surely cost much more in police and legal time than any ‘findings’ they ever make.
