Why couldn't the Scottish Government save Grangemouth? Energy is reserved to Westminster. Why can't Scotland welcome more care workers from overseas? Immigration is reserved to Westminster. Why can't the Scottish Government tackle drug addiction better? Drug laws are reserved to Westminster.

I see that some southern-based people are struggling with the idea that Scotland may be a colony of England. It may help if they try looking at things the other way around . .

Either Scotland is an equal partner in the UK, in which case we should have the right to withdraw from that partnership at any time, or we are a colony of England, in which case UN law states we have the right to vote on it without interference. Which is it? You choose.

An insider's evisceration of the BBC. I would urge anybody, wherever you live, to cancel your compulsory subscription to what is nothing more than a dishonest & corrupt mouthpiece for the Westminster government.

NOTE: Scottish Power is owned by the Spanish company Iberdrola..... Thus, The Scottish taxpayer has in fact been billed £60m by the English Government to help a Spanish company supply England with power taken from Scotland. That is how this union works.

Having looked at the data in that Survation #indyref2 poll, once again, the use of 2014 weighting shifts a 7 point Yes lead to a 1 point No lead. Reweighting based on current demographics shows a 4 point Yes lead (in line with other polling).

Anyone see the problem here? The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer refuses to speak to any Scottish newspapers when visiting Scotland. But happily take the revenue from the whisky in the glass she is holding.

Your occasional reminder that every single #Indyref2 poll over the last two and a half years not weighted by 2014 voting patterns shows a majority in favour of #ScottishIndependence That’s why they refuse a referendum.

SIR Keir Starmer: "As Prime Minister I will always act in the national interest". He's deliberately and carefully chosen the words "national interest" A subtle way of rubbing salt into the wound, as if to imply there is just but one single united British nation - while ignoring Scotland’s needs.

Phenomenal news today! Support for #IndyCymru is at 41% & believe it or not, 75% of their young population (just like in Scotland) want INDEPENDENCE. The future is theirs. With independence they get to build their own future so we need to deliver it for them. #ScottishIndependence #IndyCymru

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

Today at Westminster PMQs, Scottish Labour MP delete Irene Campbell, type Imogen Walker, fed Starmer the SNP bad question, on Scottish delete ferries, type NHS. Starmer stood up and read out his prepared anti-Scotland diatribe. This is the treatment Scotland receives week in, week out.

Unionist parties and BBC Scotland are angry at Ferguson failing to gain a Calmac contract after spending the last few years criticising the yard to score political points against the SNP Government. Unbelievable hypocrisy from them all 😡

“I think it’s outrageous that a Labour government is proposing to balance the books on the back of the poor” It is doubly outrageous that our country, Scotland, is not governing ourselves with the ability to take different decisions and put Scots first. Independence now!

‼️ A freedom of information request reveals that Anas Sarwar has failed to engage with the UK Government regarding Grangemouth since the election. ❌ This comes as no surprise given his silence on Grangemouth redundancies, after promising to save their jobs during the UK election campaign.

I have been saying exactly this for 2-3 years now, including the numbers. Europe does not need America, if anything its exactly the other way round, they need us, as the need for fossil fuel supplies recede in favour of renewables, plus our own supplies, we will transition away from US supplies.
