Wee gift from me to @theSNP - the flag Winnie Ewing flew from her train down to Westminster after her famous 1967 Hamilton by-election victory. “Stop the world - Scotland wants to get on.” The flag I donated is now at party HQ in Edinburgh.

My piece for today's @scotnational.bsky.social in which I reveal a new basic shape in geometry, the sarwar, a shape defined by an obtuse angle which points in different directions depending on orders from its boss. www.thenational.scot/politics/251...

Many of those wearing union fleg outfits & waving Union flegs & banging on about defeating the Nazis etc etc, are the same as those supporting Israel’s genocide and hollering for yet another war where the young pay the price for the failures of politicians. Fūçking sickening.

A summit about countering the far right & the media only wanted to ask if trans women are women. The far right is gaining strength because the media is obsessed with right wing culture war issues. Aliens could land on earth & the media would only ask them if trans women should use female toilets.

Starmer: "we will protect our critical infrastructure, energy networks & supply chains" You can't get much more critical than the National Grid, and its currently owned by the likes of BlackRock, Merrill Lynch, Vanguard, JP Morgan & Abu Dhabi. When are you nationalising it then?

“I wasn’t going to say anything but…” Extraordinary to see any independence supporter celebrate a London based court overturning the Scottish Government & wishes of the Scottish Parliament. I take a very different view. I believe the Scottish Parliament & people are sovereign.

Labour are planning to nationalise British Steel - to save the Scunthorpe plant from closing down. Why didn't Labour do the same when Scotland's last oil refinery announced it was closing down? Scottish jobs are an afterthought for Labour.

Brexit supporting, Trump supporting, Westminster supporting, Labour benefit cuts supporting. Boy, this guy has fairly got his finger on Scotland's political pulse. I wonder what was discussed at his secret meeting with Trump's son? GHTF.

Seems that, especially for younger voters, Westminster's infamous Powergrab of Scotland's devolved powers is either forgotten or unknown. Perhaps this brief summary of the history may prove useful, though since this was designed the overruling of Holyrood by Westminster has got MUCH worse.

I can't get over just how bad at politics this Starmer government is. Lying your way into office is a trick you can only pull off once. Starmer is consistently alienating left wing voters & trying to look 'tough' in hopes of appealing to right wing voters who are never going to support him.

In the middle of a violent earthquake, nurses in a childcare room chose not to run. They chose to stay. To protect. Society pays, discusses even praises those who do nothing for us. We should show love and respect to people like these. Not the Elons, Bezos and Zuckerbergs of the world.

The SNP Scottish Government has announced a new scheme from April, allowing young residents of Orkney, Shetland & the Outer Hebrides to travel for free as foot passengers on ferry services in the same way as under 22 year olds use buses free on the Scottish mainland.

We’ve now seen the case for the union. Both major parties have shown their contempt for Scotland and even more alarming, for the poor, the disabled and the sick. Compared to this Scottish Independence is now a vital necessity for the future. I have no idea how anyone can vote for anything else.
