Labour under Keir Starmer is now so far from its roots that it is no longer Labour; it has journeyed so far from the shore upon which it began its journey that the point of departure is no longer visible. The price it will pay for abandoning its beliefs is destruction

Even when Scotland is praised on the world stage the SNP gets no credit

Financial agencies applaud Scotland’s economy, but all we get is sneering. Govts need held to account but credit where credit is due
