1979: UK was sitting on a revenue bonanza from North Sea Oil, had a National Debt of just £80bn and owned all it's utilities, transport, infrastructure & millions of social homes.
2024: UK has £2.8Tn national debt & virtually no assets.

THIS CAMPAIGN IS NOT GOING AWAY @ShabanaMahmood. NOW ON 3.5 MILLION VIEWS. These are typical of comments from the public on becoming aware of the #IPPscandal scandal
“Truly shocking”
“Absolutely horrifying”
“Unbelievable”
“Utterly awful”
“Madness”
“inconceivable”
“cruel”
Let’s work together to end one of the most shocking & monumental injustices of the past half century before more lives are tragically lost

🚨 No one should spend 18 yrs in jail for trying to steal a coat or 11 yrs for stealing a mobile phone!
I’ve signed a letter calling on new Justice Secretary @ShabanaMahmood to act urgently to end one of the most monumental injustices of the past half-century - the #IPPscandal

Not reading novels at the moment but read quite a few in 2023 none better than Weak Teeth below @LynseyMay which I was reading at this time last year and it blew me away. Now just out in paperback and Waterstone's book of the month.

Still processing that Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, does not have a book festival now @AyeWrite has been cancelled. Wow.

Barry Marshall was convinced that the Helicobacter pylori bacteria caused stomach ulcers, but no one believed him.
Since it was illegal to test his theory on humans, he drank the bacteria himself and developed ulcers within days.
He treated them with antibiotics and went on to win a Nobel prize in 2005.

Shocking news: the Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding.
In February, thousands joined our campaign to speak out against a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland.
It worked. Ministers abandoned the cut.
But now they're bringing it back.
