Why would a *Labour* govt not do this? The answer is that Starmer’s USA vassalage is nothing like a Labour govt. Starmer’s govt are a conservative continuity right-wing regime who rule after getting only 33.7% of the total vote. That’s not democracy.
A 2% wealth tax in the UK on people with over £100m (like France) would raise £30bn a year. It's time to tax the rich.

We've checked the RCN survey and can confirm BBC Scotland misled the public. The only reference to patients dying in corridors was in the English NHS sample. The only reference to a miscarriage in a side room was in Yorkshire. There was no mention of anyone dying in a corridor in Scotland. The closest in the Scottish subsample was mention of a patient who was *told* they were dying when they were in a corridor. "We have had to review patients and break bad news in the A&E corridor. We told a patient he was dying as patients were wheeled past and orders shouted across the unit." There was also no reference to any miscarriages happening in side rooms in Scotland. The closest was a couple who were given care advice after a miscarriage. "Discussing with a couple their miscarriage care options in a corridor" Source - rcn.org.uk/-/media/Royal-Col…

To all those Scottish Labour folk insisting free tuition remains a cast iron pledge. You said the same about the winter fuel payment. Sarwar will do the same to students as he's done to pensioners.

During the general election campaign Anas Sarwar promised a new Labour Govt would step in and save all of the jobs at Grangemouth. It was a lie. He's yet to be challenged on the lie.

Why are the unionists not out celebrating their decade of union? Where's the street parties & rallies? Surely they want us to thank them for their austerity, Brexit and fuel poverty in energy rich Scotland? Instead there's nothing but embarrassed silence. thenational.scot/politics/24…

Hey @RachelReevesMP Scotland is a much colder country than England, our pensioners need their Winter Fuel Allowance to survive this winter. This is in summertime: x.com/metoffice/status/18297…

Junior doctors in England begin a six day strike tomorrow. Junior doctors in Wales will begin a three day strike on January 15th. The Tories are in power in England. Labour is in power in Wales. Remember this the next time both attack the SNP using the NHS. BBC Scotland won't.
