‘Tipping point’ with more midwives and far lower deaths? Police investigate over 1 000 avoidable baby deaths in NHS England but none in Scotland and NHS England pays out twice as much for maternity failings!
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. The Herald today has ‘Tipping point’ for maternity services. It’s nonsense. Why? This: NHS England has to pay out more than twice as much as NHS Scotland for ‘maternity failings’ £1.3 billion was paid out in Scotland in 2024/205 compared to £27 BILLION in England. Per head, that £1.3 billion becomes £13 billion, less than half the NHS England pay-outs of £27 billion.

BBC Scotland today having to travel thousands of miles to the genuinely violent, murderous, USA to get a headline story and a traumatised mother to film for your….paraphilia? Last September, the Scottish crime figures revealed another fall in the murder rate but it was largely ignored. Imagine, it had gone up.

People in working-class neighbourhoods across Scotland feel loathed by Labour and can see what the SNP has done for them
Support Talking-up Scotland to keep rebutting the lies almost every day of the year, at https://t.co/xFcIcegHTy We’ve been here before with Kevin, perhaps the least convincing convert from Labour to some kind of nationalist. He writes a lot but clearly researches little. Is the above claim based on any substance like a poll? It doesn’t look like it. Two January 2026 polls had a class breakdown. In the YouGov poll, the SNP has exactly the same support 34% from Social groups ABC1 and C2DE. Only Reform UK are better supported in C2DE, by 22 to 17. Labour are notably better supported … Continue reading People in working-class neighbourhoods across Scotland feel loathed by Labour and can see what the SNP has done for them

The strange case of YouGov’s shrinking Glasgow samples confirms their polls to be purely propaganda
Support Talking-up Scotland to keep rebutting the lies almost every day of the year, at https://t.co/xFcIcegHTy I’ve written before about YouGov‘s unerring and almost unique (Survation too) ability to pluck a No lead out of a trend dominated by Yes leads, found by various other pollsters. It’s been a long time since they found a Yes lead. They seem to prevent it by adjusting (weighting) their sample to have 55% No voters and 45% Yes voters as in 2014 and thus get the same result ten years later. James Kelly of Scot Goes Pop has already reported on this at: https://scotgoespop.blogspot.com/2026/02/why-is-yougov-under-representing-yes.html … Continue reading The strange case of YouGov’s shrinking Glasgow samples confirms their polls to be purely propaganda
