Don't believe the UK Labour / BBC / LBC lies.
Via the @FT: "Scotland — which has its own state-owned water company — massively outperformed its neighbours with water standards similar to much of Scandinavia.".

"The scenes in Gaza have moved beyond description. We write as artists who’ve chosen to use our public platforms to speak out against the genocide occurring there & the role of the UK government in facilitating it.".

There are many political questions to be discussed and worked through, but the organization of an alliance of artists to oppose Zionist lies and attacks is a step forward.

The only reason our bills might go down is that we can do away with streetlights because of all the gaslighting Shanks provides.
If the SNP was in favour of zonal pricing this is the first I’ve heard of it. Working together across the UK we are delivering record investment in energy projects in Scotland with thousands of jobs and a plan to lower bills for everyone.

I do seem to remember that, yes.
Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

Two stories on the same day from the @Telegraph. The first about someone paying £7.4 million pounds for a handbag. The second describes a wealth tax as "a moral abomination.".Draw your own conclusions.

There's no such thing as Scottish Labour because it's actually GB Labour.

Ach, auld Glen Michael's gone to the TV studio in the sky. 99, though - good innings. He leaves a lot of folk with a load of happy childhood memories.
