Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

Toxic Labour wants to build new nuclear power stations in Stirling and Fife 🥀☢️ Utterly absurd, if the Romans had nuclear power we’d still be guarding the waste. www.thenational.scot/news/2624182...

The Scottish Government has long opposed new nuclear power, but Westminster commissioned a report anyway

Our carbon footprint is going up - when it needs to be coming down, fast.🔥 And a climate plan that relies heavily on unproven technologies is not going to help us change course. We need real climate action - to create warmer homes and cheaper public transport - now.👇

Scotland's best future is as an independent nation back in the European Union. #bbcqt

This is one of the richest countries in the history of the world. Yet we have thousands of children going to school hungry each morning while supermarkets rake in obscene profits. #bbcqt

More drilling in the North Sea won't reduce our bills. Investing in renewables will. #bbcqt

Hundreds of activists set out to bring aid and attention to people facing catastrophe. They were taken, bound and degraded. The least their governments can do now is bring them home, writes Patrick Harvie ✍️ Read more: www.thenational.scot/commen...

My constituent Dr Antonis Vradis was abducted by the Israeli State in international waters while taking part in the Gaza aid convoy. I've written to the FCO to demand action to secure his release and have also asked Dr Vradis' employer- University of St Andrews to add their voice.

There absolutely should be sackings at the Electoral Commission over this. A fake party that does no campaigning, will have spent £0, and whose own holocaust denying leader acknowledged is only there to confuse voters, came 7th, only explainable if it did indeed confuse voters.

I’ve signed this letter along with @markruskell.bsky.social - to be advocating for more defence spending over the welfare of pensioners is an utter betrayal of the Labour movement www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/2606326...
