If the Michelle Mone yacht worth £10 million is confiscated and the £148 million owed to taxpayers is 'paid back' that's £158 million right there in the defence pot.
Oh and let's not forget the £500 million owed in taxes by M'Lord Bamford.

Andy Burnham earlier this week: “I’ll stick by the Waspi women.”
Andy Burnham yesterday: rules out paying compensation to Waspi women.”

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow.
This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland.
I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴

Scotland’s wind farms will pay £1 billion to connect to the UK grid.
Meanwhile, projects elsewhere in the UK will be paid to connect.
Scotland generates the energy. Scots should see the benefit.
ALT Graphic showing a wind turbine against a blue sky. Large text reads: “Scotland’s wind farms will pay £1 billion to use the UK grid.” Additional text reads: “While projects in the rest of the UK will be paid to connect.” The graphic highlights concerns about how electricity grid connection charges are applied, contrasting costs faced by Scottish renewable energy projects with incentives available elsewhere in the UK. SNP “It’s Scotland’s Energy” branding appears at the bottom.

🤖 Remember the Sarwar bots? This should be a bigger story than it currently is. Israel appears to have interfered with the Scottish election, according to French authorities.

🇫🇷🇮🇱 France says Israeli influence firm, BlackCore, may have interfered with elections in France, Scotland, Angola, Togo, and also New York City's mayoral race.
They're accused of running digital influence operations using fake accounts, AI, and smear campaigns.
Remember how the EU was up in arms about supposed Russian election interference?
Guess what they've said about this. Nothing.
Funny how "protecting democracy" becomes a much more complicated concept when investigators start looking at people other than Russia.

Looks like the SNP will back the Green amendment today in to “an independent review into party political finances…independently led rather than conducted by a parliamentary committee and that its remit must apply to the funding of all political parties”

Who controlled all offshore oil and gas taxation, exploration, production and development for the 14 years between 2010 and 2024? Ah yes, it was the Tory party.

✅ The SNP is taking real action to address Westminster's cost of living crisis.
🛒 We are capping the cost of every day items in the supermarkets to make sure that families can afford the essentials.
🏴 While the Westminster parties fight amoungst themselves, the SNP will always deliver for the people of Scotland.

Scotland needs full power over our energy policy. We have huge renewables resource, part of the solution to Europe’s energy security needs. But projects in Scotland face punitive charges compared to those elsewhere in the UK - scotsman.com/news/politics/t…

A reminder of Douglas Alexander’s interesting donors.👇
How does Alexander repay them?
Why are no journalists interested in this?
Why not point out the fantasies in Ian Murray’s letter?
Any questions for Sarwar, Murray, Alexander on why Labour thought Murray was rubbish at his job?
Questions for Alexander on his ‘interesting’ donors? What did he give in return?👇

Brexit was a “colossal act of self-harm” and the worst policy disaster since 1930s appeasement.
Brexit failed to deliver any of its promises (cheaper energy/food, global trade boom, NHS funding).
Daniel Hannan’s vision of a new dawn serve as proof of the scale of the lies.
Brexit broke Britain by blowing a 5-10% black hole in our economy.
