Scottish government subsidies or shareholders bonuses? The relentless Scott-ish press negativity forgets that CalMac prices are 4 times cheaper than Isle of Wight ferries. talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/03/12/f...

Voted in as a Tory, switched to independent and now switched to Reform. Another grifter in Scotland's political landscape. This should NOT be allowed to happen & in cases where it does they should either stand as Independent or be subject to recall & a new ballot opened. news.stv.tv/east-central...

Two days after I posted my concerns about RATcliffe's proposed venture on Old Trafford & his attempt to secure public money for this vanity project has finally caught the eye of this SNP MP. Let's hope it will now be scrutinized in @houseofcommons.parliament.uk @davedooganmp.bsky.social

This just highlights the inequality of Britain's unelected upper chamber that is The House of lords. £361 just to sign in & do nothing, Then expenses on top for travelling there & use of a subsidised dining facility. This really rips ma knittin'. www.thenational.scot/news/2500300...

The writing was on the wall long before they came to power with their attacks on the left wing of the party. Now what we see is a party that is to the right of the Torys and competing with Reform to be the far right 😢

We wish @nicolasturgeon.bsky.social well following her announcement today to stand down as an MSP after decades of public service to Scotland. She has always supported GWL, & as First Minister, she officially opened our newly refurbished building in 2015, hailing GWL, ‘…truly a national treasure’

Very sad that Nicola has decided to stand down in Holyrood 2026. But I don’t doubt it’s the best thing for her personally. She’s been unfairly targeted relentlessly by the media for years for matters for which she is entirely innocent. It takes its toll. Wishing her all the best❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Anas Sarwar promised Scotland would be at the heart of a Labour UK government and that he would be a voice for Scotland. But it turns out he's refused to even lift a finger to help tackle major issues facing Scots: ❌ No calls ❌ No emails ❌ No action

Former President of #Poland Lech Wałęsa wrote the following letter to Trump but his Administration and the #WhiteHouse has refused to share or comment on but fortunately Poland has.

Westminster has always considered us expendable, to stop them treating Scots like this we need to break away and demand independence. Then why not park them in the Thames, That way the English MP's can look out the windows of the HoC to keep an eye on their wasteful investment.

The transatlantic alliance and NATO are over. Scotland's future is with 500 million other Europeans. Scotland has nothing to gain & everything to lose by shackling itself to a delusional UK that robs us of our natural wealth & refuses to accept the new geopolitical reality.

Donald Trump is not our friend, and he never will be. The invitation for a state visit should never have been made in the first place and if our obligations to Ukraine are to mean anything, it is time for it to be withdrawn. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...
