It's funny how they have more members than all of the other parties put together and the keep being voted into power, even in a fairer Proportional Representation voting system?... 🤔
It's a joke, that has been the logic they have been peddling since Brexit, there is no independence, there are no funds, they want to flood Scotland with anyone who wants to come, there is no infrastructure, they want to join the Eu, they will never get the pipe dream, could you imagine the trash that would come into Scotland to get to England.
Is it@@lorraineelliot8620? I honestly wonder why you would hate them if you don't agree with them. Just vote for somebody else. That's democracy. Simple. 🤔
@@desgilroy1357 Not especially, they are all at it. Tories are lying about what a great job they have done and Labour lying about how the growth fairy is going to magically appear and save the day.
Scotland cannot "re-join" that which it has never been a member. It was the UNITED KINGDOM that was the member. Scotland has never been a member of the EU.
@@annemonaghan4576 I think you're referring to the following quote: _"Any European State, which respects and promotes the values of the EU, may apply to become a member of the Union"_ That isn't a guaranteed "yes", it's a "of course they could apply ". Plus, she isn't the President now, so you'd need to ask the current one
@@marty1459 Aww bless. You had to edit your wonderfully insightful comment. I'd do another edit - there is a delete option just so you know. Reality may not matter to you but I think the person leading the UK should have a grip on it.
I think it's more likely the establishment trying to convince people that the population are wanting Labour. Reality is it's mainly the immigrants that want Labour. The Brits don't like Starmer and his knee benders
Raigmore is full because Scotland can't control it's own immigration or borders .The sheer volume of old retired English immigrants to the Highlands is dragging the NHS to its knees. And then they moan about the Tory's not controlling borders.
SNP states that it puts Scotland first. However Scotland has a higher rate of income tax and yet is worse than uk in both health and education in spite of extra funding arising from the Barnet formula.
@TheGladiator125 Since the SNP came to power, Scotland is no longer a pround contributor to the union. It is not Westminster that is ar fault but SNP incompetence.
@@graemebuchan8142 They do not represent your beliefs obviously but I have some news for you, you don’t speak for Scotland. Sorry to bring you the bad news.
@@roseanncampbell3168How ungrateful people are to want to stop the erosion of our democracy, to stop our right to speak about mass immigration, the right to be proud of the country they live in, the right to stop are taxes being used on forever wars, the right to live a free and peaceful life. Only people like you are against all of the above because you know best. Good luck with that.
The important election from an SNP point of view are the Holyrood elections in 2026 by which time Labour will be just about halfway through a parliament and will be deeply unpopular. Starmer isn’t even that popular now and I foresee the shortest honeymoon period ever before his ratings tank.
The last time I checked this was an election not Britain's got talent. We need stability, not a pop band. Did you not learn anything from bojo and co and the chaos he came with?
The SNP claim that the people of Scotland voted for Scotland to remain in the EU. No they didnt. That would of been a totally different vote and I imagine many more wouldve voted if that had been the question
Reform will take us out of the the ECHR which means we all lose our human rights. Stop using a sledgehammer to drive in a nail. You will regret it, mark my words 🤔
Well said, Kate. All of our Oil wealth was used to fund Thatcher’s deindustrialisation agenda, Cameron’s austerity😮 has starved public services of funding for years and yet the British establishment media come away with, “oh but, this and that are devolved.” Yes, but in the words of Wes Streeting - all roads lead back to Westminster.
I’m looking forward to a Labour government in Scotland that will stop all those free things being given to them like the child payment free prescriptions baby boxes etc
I've just commented on what your post is saying. Saor Alba 🏴🏴🏴 Vote SNP for Independence then vote for who you want In an Independent Scotland.
you look forward to a labour government that stop child payments,free prescriptions and baby boxes, really? What a Tory you are wanting to take child payments and baby boxes from children, shameful!
I used to think that she was one of the few competent SNP MSPs but alas no longer. This performance was as poor as the one on Question Time. No clarity, no credible policy and an infinite capacity to twist words and waffle. Once anyone with any cash has been taxed dry or left the country our proud country would be left on its knees.
Why does anyone listen to aldi ray? The guy got upset when michael gove did not turn up to be interviewed by gmb when in fact he was probably getting ready to be interviewed by the bbc. On that day michael gove was on bbc about 15 minutes after he apparently failed to turn up for gmb.
@@derekbrown3165 The SNP never tell anyone if they become independent who will they trade tariff free with. At least in the Uk we trade tariff free with each other. Use each others health service for free aswell. No hard borders.
Brexit was a choice the British people made to leave the EU. The cost of living was caused by all these politicians, did you see the Scottish government is now being sued by Biffa for the deposit return scheme? Or the EU grant that wasnt spent in Scotland and now needs to be returned to the EU, what about the flood money award that the SNP dudnt use to help the flooded community, what about the ferries ? And so much more. SNP are corrupt.
I just loathe the modern day politician. It's nothing but cheap point scoring and sound bites in feeble attempts to belittle peers who sport a different coloured tie.
Yet the Scottish people ripe the benefits that the SNP put in place. Free prescriptions, no bedroom tax, baby box, free bus pass to 60+ n upon 22 n on it goes. Saor Alba 🏴🏴🏴
@annemonaghan4576 bedroom tax ? How can it be a tax when a large percentage of the people it applies to don't actually pay any tax at all ? I have tried to see how much tax gets collect from this bedroom tax and HMRC say its zero so can anyone explain how these people are paying this tax ?
@boabs-bees it's easier to blame someone else but that doesn't wash when you've been in charge for 17 years. We're all fed up of their constant grievance mongering
Not a fan of London being a northerner but of course it makes sense they have the most investment. They raise the most money and its the largest urban area.
Will you find the missing ringfenced £33M meant for agriculture and farmers?... or the 2 payments of £750K and £250K Humza Useless made to Gaza?.... that would be a good start.
It supposed to be a calming exercise for the nerves but all she’s advising to me at least that she knows her party is in bad shape or that she knows that they can’t deliver on something that is being promised
The SNP wanted to put listening devices in people's house and have a state sponsored guardian for every child, George Orwell spinning at speed of sound in grave
These newsy personnel know the future, do they? Another referendum on UK membership is not 'unlikely' to call for remaining in the UK, but more likely to assert the Scottish desire to rejoin the European Union, given Tory misrule of the UK the last 15 years. Talk about bias.
Twiddles her thumbs while trying to think of another lie. We have another two weeks to put things right forget the last seventeen years of mismanagement, incompetence and fraud .
Depending on the poll you look at, the SNP are between 3 and 5 points behind Labour amd are gaining ground. That hardly constitues being "well behind".
Indeed. Because the Labour vote is primarily based in the Central belt, a shift of 34% up to 36% for the SNP can be the difference between 15 seats and 30 seats.
@RemoanersRtossers Yugoslavia included Slovenia,Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia,Serbia and Kosovo,just like UK,it was held together by threats and tyranny. UK is just England,the only part of the UK to not have devolution is England,there is no union,it's obvious that Wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland are just satellites of England. UK will go the same way as Yugoslavia.
Various SNP figures have said EU officials have said Scotland would be let back in, but oddly not in writing, nor can they ever name who they've spoken to... 🤔
Re-enter the EU ?? If we get independence it might take 5 to 8 years to negotiate that settlement then we have to apply for membership of the EU which we may or may not get that could take 20 years? So what do we do right now because it's now we need things done ??Miss Forbes
SNP saved £300m on NHS operations last year when 20.000 Scot’s dipped in to their pensions to pay for them. The SNP government also made a nice £150m profit from the tax take on the pension draw downs. Almost half a billion in total. We’re did all that money go.
Adil Ray showed his bias against Scottish independence on Have I Got News For You when he said "Ugh Nicola give it a rest". He has no credibility as an interviewer when we know his position.
For goodness sake, just stop it woman. Just tell us all which currency Scots will be using? Who will be Scotland's Bank Of Last Resort? The amount of monetary reserves Scotland has and will require? How will the border operate? On a side note, it may help if The SNP stop giving out free this and free that, it isn't free, it has to be paid for. Don't bother asking Westminster for one billion pounds for your superb NHS, when you've overspent on overdue ferries, missing funds and camping equipment. The SNP are a disaster.
Since I've moved back to England 7 months ago after 14 years away, it has served to remind me that I really wish a party would stick up for us like the SNP do for Scotland. Yes I did, & they still pay an extra pittence in tax in Scotland, but they get so much back for it, the Scots essentially pay taxes that ACTUALLY provide lots of benefits for them in return,,, We're paying almost the same taxes here but getting literraly feckall back for it down here, We're back to paying the bedroom tax, back to paying for myself & wifes prescriptions, and my daughter has lost her u21 bus pass which was invaluable getting her to her work, few other things too.. :-( We are around £135.00 - £140 a month down. I'm never too quick to dismiss the SNP now, despite not being a fan of splitting the uk...
Labour wont do a deal with the SNP a vote for the SNP is a vote for conservatives. And if conservatives win they wont need the snp as are counter their needs too.
So much disinformation from the presenters and a lack of basic understanding of: - how devolution works - the dynamics of UK funding spending reviews on the devolved budget - SNP party policy - how manifestos work (they clearly understand but are playing dumb in this regard) They’ve shown their true colours on certain policies and stances - I might not be Kate’s biggest fan, and certainly wouldn’t vote for her, but honestly she handled herself well against these two clowns.
