Yes, when the Scottish Government tried previously to reform council tax the unionist parties were obstructive and the UK government via HMRC refused the necessary funding to allow it to happen. Westminster doesn't like Scotland being ahead of UK as it seeks to improve lives of those who live here.
A helicopter has been picking up seawater and dropping it on the blaze in Suffolk wildfire. Oh look, the UK can and do have helicopters when needed to fight wildfires 🔥 But just not in Scotland!! www.bbc.co.uk

Read this thread. How will they get hold of the water from Scotland, which is an asset of the Scottish people?
@para-handy.bsky.social · 2y agoScottish Water is an asset of the Scottish people. Administered on their behalf by the Scottish Government and managed by a public utility, Scottish Water.

England is suffering increasingly from water shortages so ‘Tories float idea to transfer water from the north to the south’. Water from the North- that’s Manchester, right?
“If Andy Burnham is planning to impose a tax hike on 🏴 Scottish people to pay for reforms to 🏴 English social care provision – then at the very least Scotland should be involved in those discussions." Seems fair. Shame Burnham disagrees. www.thenational.scot/news/2642050...

Bloke wins a by-election somewhere near Wigan and denies the legitimacy of the 73-56 pro-Independence Holyrood majority as voted for by 2.3million Scots. And they wonder why there is growing disillusionment with politics.
But, hey, Scotland, WM would like to impose more nuclear sites.

Just signed. When I got the vote, I was told it was important to use it. I was taught of the sacrifices folk had made to win the vote. Scotland voted for an SNP/ Green pro Indy majority. WM has to allow us to decide.

The new Health Secretary took more than £165,000 from donors linked with the private healthcare sector, it has emerged
Scotland, uniquely, appears to require some kind of completely arbitrary set of circumstances, previously unknown in human history, to be granted that which every other Nation is accorded as their unassailable right. And if those circumstances are met, then more are put in our way, ad infunitum!
Cameron's mandate to hold a Brexit referendum - 36%. SNP/Greens mandate to hold an independence referendum - 56%. Blocking a vote proves that the UK is not a 'union of equals' but a prison. #Scotland

Here I am, sitting in my lounge in Scotland, the Argentina v England match on the TV. I await the police knocking on my door because I, a Scotswoman,am not getting behind the English team-despite ardent encouragement from the WM PM and his pet SoS, a sad Scot whose friends appear to be anti English.
Wonder what England would think if this was an everyday event for them? Daily Fail article with interactive map-‘The UK's bowel cancer hotspot map:’ interactive map of the UK simply cuts off at Scotland and specifies that it is based on English statistics.
Serious questions. Why isn’t there a GERS report for England? Why is there no Secretary of State for England? Why is there no veto for UK wide legislation from each of the four countries including England? Why does England have sole control over media and broadcasting in Scotland And 👇

Hundreds if not thousands, of SNP donors will make it known to the SNP they want their say in court. Namely to make clear that the cabal* are taking the action for political reasons, not to recover monies. Calling out Campbell and Clerkin in court is certainly appealing. 6/
Now. The SNP have as good as just relaunched the original offer, that never went away. Future. The forthcoming civil case motivated by personal ego's, agenda's and behind-the-scenes unionist agent provocateurs. Will get a reaction from SNP donors. 5/
48 hours after the launch, hundreds had signed the petition. Then on the Sunday, just as the signing ratio per hour was getting exponential. 38 Degree in an unprecedented action pulled the petition. 2026. There is no record of the SNP removing the original 2021 offer to refund any donations. 4/
