Yesterday’s Budget: families on their knees, energy bills soaring, living standards described as “grim,” and other departments cut to scrape together defence funding.
Today: King Charles sharing photos of himself lounging on a government VIP jet that costs £2,000 an hour (tartan cushions and all) en route to Barbados.
£18k for one flight while ordinary people freeze and scrape.
This is the UK in 2026. Abolish the monarchy. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

Joani Reid, the Scottish Labour MP all over BBC Scotland today demanding John Swinney hold a national inquiry into grooming gangs, voted against holding a national inquiry into grooming gangs five months ago. Oops. @JoaniReid

Stayt: Energy bills are going up in Jan by up to £469. You're giving £100. Its not going to make enough difference
Healey: "its fair.. & honest to say there's no way that govt can offset entirely the pressures people are facing"
You could do lots more. You're choosing not to
Hannah Peaker from the @NEF explains that if you equalise capital gains tax with income tax so you tax wealth at the same rate as work, along with sorting out some of the problems with CGT, some estimates say you could raise £19.7 billion a year.

Nothing more ridiculous than a tired Unionist trying to sound robust on defence when they said this just two weeks ago.

Labour's plan to remove tariffs from 100 food items could save households up to 40p a week. In January Michael Marra ridiculed the SNP's tax change because it only gave people an extra 70p a week.
He said: 'You couldn’t buy a Mars bar for that".

Watch as SNP MP Graham Leadbitter challenges Scotland Secretary Douglas Alexander over why Scotland does not have the same legal route to a referendum as Northern Ireland, after the Prime Minister said the 'exactly same situation' applies to both 👇

Exactly. The euro. Schengen. Free movement. Expect furrow-browed scare stories from people like Penny. All utter nonsense.
I give you her egregious bs about Turkey joining the EU which frightened the hell out of voters.
There will be no euro, no schengen.

A reminder that average UK household will pay £1370 more in energy bills than Labour promised, by March.👇

Scottish alcohol deaths fall and now lowest since 2019 but BBC Scotland employs the notorious 'colonial comparison' to turn it into a negative. Scotland must always be presented as failing, backward and worse than England.

Wait a minute, on gas prices...
By moving the cost of the standing charge on to the unit rate - has Andy Burnham actually just put up energy bills for the majority of Scots?
We are colder country & have to put the heating on more, the more gas we use, the higher price we pay!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Doogan himself has stood in the House of Commons and demanded the redistribution of the standing charge to the unit price claiming it will lower bills and reduce carbon emissions.

Largs Council is controlled by Tory minority together with a few Independent councillors. I recommend she complain to a few other responsible bodies (including the Local Authority), in addition to her, so far, solely levelling criticism at the Scottish Government
