"Imagine you are the parent of a new primary 1 pupil, and that you have been desperately struggling to get by. You are having to choose between heating and eating, perhaps missing meals yourself so that your child doesn’t go hungry.
"You’d love to give them access to all the same experiences as those from the wealthier parts of the country take for granted, but you just can’t afford it.
"And then along comes the Scottish Government, expecting you to believe that handing over a school bag for which they have been seriously over-charged is somehow going to level the playing field.
"It’s not just a stupid claim – it’s also completely tone deaf and suggests that our government is led by people with little to no serious grasp of the problems they claim to be tackling on our behalf."
Why on earth are the SNP spending £30 per head on 'free' P1 school bags? || James McEnaney 👇

The @ScottishSun reports that her cry was she wanted to show solidarity in the West Bank?
Sorry no sympathy for them.
They would be better showing solidarity up the East End of Glasgow or down in Ayrshire where our locals go homeless hungry and hardworking retailers are flooded out of business due to the storms.
Last I knew they were elected to represent Scotland.
It is our taxes that are paying for these people who are not fit for purpose.
In fact if they Love the West Bank so much why no stay there and let them pay your wages!
This is now beyond the pale!

China emits more CO2 than the entire developed world combined. But hey, let’s blame cow burps and wood burners in the UK.
Words escape me 🤦🏻what a pair of absolute melts 😡
ENTITLED INFLUENCERS THINK THEY CAN TAKE OVER A STRANGER'S DRIVEWAY BUT THEY PICKED THE WRONG PERSON.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video is a scripted vertical drama (not real), with "PRODUCED BY u Studios" watermark, multiple camera angles and rehearsed lines.

😮 Nick Ferrari STUNNED after minister reveals ending rough sleeping costs £190,000 per person
On LBC this morning, Nick Ferrari asked Cabinet Office Minister Sally Jameson how many people are currently sleeping rough. She put the figure at around 4,000.
With more than £850 million allocated to the government’s pledge to get them all off the streets by Christmas, that works out at roughly £190,000 each.
Ferrari’s reaction: “What on earth? We could buy them all a house. Where does the money go?”
Great question, Nick. If the money was actually going to the homeless, £190,000 a head would house them easily. Instead, everyone in the system, charities, consultants, local authorities, and middlemen takes their cut first. What’s left after all the slices is nowhere near enough, which is why the problem never gets solved. It’s not a funding issue. It’s a racket.
UK Must Be Ready For War In 1,000 Days, Defence Secretary Warns

@ChrisMusson makes some fair and uncomfortable points about Holyrood.
Too much political theatre. Too little serious scrutiny. Too many SNP ministers escaping proper accountability while public services deteriorate, crime rises and taxpayers' money is wasted.
MSPs aren't elected to make up the numbers, obey party machines or give ministers an easy ride.
We're elected to represent people, challenge those in power and get things done.
Holyrood needs fundamental reform. After 27 years of devolution, we should be asking why our Parliament is still so poor at holding the government to account — and doing something about it.

Who could have possibly predicted this?!?!
Cyclists are continuing to ride along the newly pedestrianised section of Oxford Street, despite being asked to dismount.
Around seven security staff have been stationed near Oxford Circus, calling out to cyclists to get off their bikes, with mixed success.

This is fucking outrageous. Wetherspoons are now denying people entry for wearing a poppy. Tim Martin, what the actual fuck are you doing?
This is so beyond the pale. Why do you hate our country so much? A poppy is a symbol of remembrance and respect for our fallen heroes. Come on.
There must now be a national boycott of Wetherspoons. Support businesses that support our country and respect our servicemen who gave their lives for this country.

The SNP is taking Scotland’s taxpayers for mugs.
800 civil servants still being paid after their jobs ceased to exist—all to protect its “no compulsory redundancy” dogma.
Utterly outrageous.
Major investigation from The Sunday Times - the Scottish state is paying a minimum of £27m a year to around 800 public sector workers, in the NHS, councils, police etc who do not have a job, but they cannot be made redundant owing to SNP policy

Greta Thunberg was arrested again, but this time it's different. This time, she's not getting out.
Thunberg "crossed the line," according to Interpol Director Josef Barrone. "Setting off an explosive device, no matter how small, is an act of terrorism."
Thunberg was taken into custody by police in Rome after she threw an exploding box full of confetti into the fountain in St. Peter's Square. She faces a mandatory minimum of three years in prison.
"She's very lucky nobody was hurt, or it would be much longer."
Her parents paid her $5 million bail.
What's your response to this......??👀
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON X. LET’S GO 👏

I’ve just seen the video of the manager at the Gosport Wetherspoons confirming it is company policy. This comes from the top. Tim Martin is denying entry to people wearing poppies. Outrageous. Disgusting.
Go woke, go broke.
BOYCOTT WETHERSPOONS NOW!!!

Talking £27 M ‘Ghost Workers’ jobs that don’t exist @scotgov @thetimes
An absolute debacle and mismanagement of Scotland’s finances🏴
More from me in May 2026 @ScotlandTonight on why to fill the £5Billion black hole you need SME business growth and tax cuts and incentives.
I agree with @Malcolm_Offord on his plan for tax cuts.
Wealthy Nation Healthy Nation.
Plus mention for @DonaldCMacleod

SNP ministers are forever telling us there’s no money. Then we discover this.
The Sunday Times reports at least £27 million a year spent retaining around 800 public sector workers without permanent posts. Some waiting five years. One for 17 years.
How on earth has this been allowed to continue? Swinney must answer for this disgrace.
It’s not the SNP’s money. It’s taxpayers’ money.
