Our economic system doesn't work for the vast majority. An independent Scotland with a reset to a well-being economy would make Scottish people's lives so much better! UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than 50% of population, analysis finds www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...

Gary Lineker is a brilliant football presenter. He is a force for moral good which increasingly is a problem for right-wing bigots & sadly those who run the BBC. The BBC like UK politics is run by cowards who appease & fuel the right-wing lie machine which gave the UK Brexit.

Scotland’s fishing industry has been undermined by the UK government - again. Like the Tories, Labour didn’t even consult the Scottish Government and treated our fishing communities as expendable. Only independence would give us the seat at the EU table to defend Scotland’s interests.

Starmer's Labour government either doesn't understand anything about the Scottish economy or doesn't care about Scotland. The time has come for the Scottish people to reject the Anglo-centric Westminster government and forge a new path to prosperity with liberty and compassion at its heart.

Gary Linker is forced to resign from the BBC for sharing an anti-Zionist Instagram post with a rat emoji which caused an outcry. Where's the accountability, condemnation or outcry over what the Israelis are doing in Gaza? Shame on all those in power for letting this bloodshed continue.

Under Blair with spin doctor Alistair Campbell I would be inclined to believe it was all about the messaging. Sadly no longer. Labour is now ideologically bereft. It has lurched to the right and can no longer claim to be remotely socialist.

The ONLY immigrant not welcome in Scotland - Farage! We don't need him or his toxic divisive opinions! He should stay in England and fight for English independence and MEGA - Make England Great Again. I could support that!

Gove, purloined £560k of COVID emergency funding for an unpublished report. No investigation. The SNP moved £600k from one column to another in an audited and approved set of accounts and the establishment go into overdrive. Not so much a union more a dictatorship.

In just 3 months Labour licensed more military exports to Israel than the Tories did in all of 2020-2023. Yesterday Israeli strikes killed 80 people, including at least 22 children, while the UN warned that the entire population of Gaza is now at "critical risk" of famine.

Damaging public services and scapegoating migrants. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Scotland needs the power over immigration, so we can build a system that respects migrant workers and all that they contribute!

How do we break through the noise of climate apathy? 🤔 Instead of showing the gradual impacts of #climatechange, scientists have found that laying out the direct, visceral losses that communities are witnessing has a much stronger impact.

This feels like Trump went rummaging in his dead cat box for the biggest nastiest one he could find. (In case you didn't hear, he's busy accepting a multi hundred million dollar plane from Qatar as a gift/bribe, which is causing massive waves. This huge distraction will wipe that from the news.)

The Israelis complain that the Palestinians want to exterminate them. That is, broadly speaking, true. Equally, it is perfectly plain that the Israelis, broadly speaking, want to exterminate the Palestinians. But it isn't symmetrical - the Israelis actually are exterminating the Palestinians.

The more I look at the craziness in the world right now the more I think that an Independent Scotland could be a beacon of sanity. A nation run for the wellbeing and benefit of those who live in it, not those who own it. We have nothing to lose but Westminster shackles! #ScottishIndependence

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵

Billy Connolly once famously described Holyrood as a 'pretendy parliament'. He was right. As long as Westminster reserves powers from Scotland that normal governments use, the Scottish Government will remain hamstrung. Let's stop being 'pretendy', choose independence, and and do the real thing.

People getting worked up about gender neutral toilets have clearly never been on a train. Or a plane. Or many cafes and pubs. Or a coach. Or a ferry. Or a house. Or their house. Or a friend's house. Or many single cubical public toilets.
