The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission has said cats present a threat to wild animals & set out proposals to protect wildlife in a report to ScotGov. The mendacious British nationalist media spins this into - The SNP considers banning your pet cat. This is how trust is lost in the media.

Not even pretending anymore, arrogant bastards.

To ceremoniously mark the opening of our BlueSky account, we thought we’d share the key that was used to officially our building in Edinburgh in 1956 🗝️ #NLS100

The damning statistics that reveal the true cost of Brexit, five years on

There’s 358 fascists in Bannockburn. How depressing.

Would Labour in Scotland still exist if it cut ties with party HQ in England, to become a Scottish party? According to the Electoral Commission it doesn't even cover office and staff costs from membership fears: it's huge campaign costs are covered by cross-subsidy from England.

Whether it’s red or blue Tory’s.

No lies told in this headline.

The SNP have delivered the fairest and most progressive income tax system in Britain, with a majority paying less on average than the rest of Britain.

CEO of Octopus Energy Greg Jackson blotching his copybook with no more invites from the BBC in Scotland or STV I'd wager. "Scotland would go from the most expensive electricity in Europe - to the cheapest.”

Keir Starmer relishing and boasting to the the S*n about "having the balls to cut benefits" for some of the UK's poorest, most vulnerable and marginalised people sounds very familiar That's right, it sounds EXACTLY like the last 14 years of disgraceful TORY Austerity

Fuck Starmer's Home Office, it cannot be said enough.

Ten years on. Every single promise these unionists from Westminster made to the people of Scotland, has not been honoured. They never intended to. They lied to all of us (incl the unionists who voted for what they were promised). A new referendum is essential. Produced by @.thisisscotland (p1)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland could be self-sufficient in renewable energy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Instead Westminster are building more infrastructure to export our energy to England. They then charge us more for that fuel than they do in England! Through UK taxation we're also paying for the infrastructure extracting our energy 🤦‍♀️

Scotland has: ✅ The best paid NHS staff in the UK. ✅ The highest number of qualified nurses & midwives in the UK. ✅ The highest number of GPs in the UK. We’ll always stand up for Scotland’s NHS 👇

This is the real cost our Scottish NHS is carrying - Labour's incompetence and profligate sleight of hand where buildings that cost £2.2 billion are in fact costing £10.6 billion thanks to their PFI ripoff. healthandcare.scot/stories/4041...

Wake up Scotland Earlier today in the Guardian...👇🏻

With wars ,poverty, pensioners and children punished, economy bad, No EU, NHS begins privatisation in England, threats of paying for prescriptions and education, why is Scotland #BetterTogether with UK? @UKLabour @LibDems @Conservatives need to answer questions not just SNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What a whopper of a lie this one was.

Never reported in the biased MSM!

📢 There’s no acceptable level of child poverty in a modern, prosperous society. 👉 Poverty limits opportunity, harms wellbeing, and impacts generations. It holds us all back. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We're relentlessly focused on meeting Scotland’s ambitions to end it.

At 15:04 today there are only four Labour MSPs in attendance for this afternoon’s debate on Tackling Child Poverty & Inequality. They don’t seem to care.

Show this to anyone who tries to claim that people in Scotland will be worse off after we regain independence. Pensions will go up. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 #YesScots · #RejoinEU

This!

It suits Westminster and the UK media to hide national differences across the UK. The lack of an English Parliament makes this easier. The result is that Scotland’s culture can be more easily ignored. Britain and England are not the same thing. #YesScots open.substack.com/pub/yesinpic...

From the @bylinesscotland.bsky.social podcast last August: Ian Stewart of IFS member organisation The Scottish Currency Group discusses the fundamental need to have plans, post independence, for Scotland to have its own monetary and payment system to reach full sovereignty. bylines.scot/podcast...

None of the UK parties are keen to talk about this. There is another way for Scotland…. Voting SNP is the way.

Happy New Year to all.

Accounts Commission highlighted that councils would have a cumulative budget gap of £780m by 2026/27. The SNP government budget provides an additional £1,000m for councils from 2025/26. If there is a council tax increase it is due to Labours NI hike! www.cosla.gov.uk/news/2024/co...

Dr. Pelle Gustafson, leading European expert on patient safety and CMO at Swedish Patient Insurer, was asked which country he would hold up as an example on patient safety. He responded, “I would say I am personally very impressed by Scotland.

Here's your first look at tomorrow's front page 📰 New poll shows Scots set to vote in big Yes majority in 2026 election 🗳️

Labour change for the worse:- 🧊 Cutting winter fuel payments 🔪 Betraying WASPI women ⚡️ Raising your energy costs Westminster isn’t working for Scotland, it’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think it's now clear what a large majority in Scotland want.
