If this was ANY port in England and not Rosyth there would be NO problem with the £3m grant. This is designed to keep Scotland dependent, they don't want us connected to Europe like this, because it helps the Independence case Spencer Livermore who has held this up is an unelected English Lord👇🏻

MSM-Monitor... Anas Sarwar can't handle a hostile interview. His Sunday Show car crash demonstrated it ... again. Time and again shouting over an interviewer attempting to ask an awkward question. It degenerated into a rammy too many times. Lost his composure. FM material? No chance.

I wonder when Scotland will fight back against nonsense like this? The asset stripping and stealing of anything from Scotland continues. This feels like an action born out of a knowledge that we will soon be leaving them. Let's hope so. And I wouldn't buy anything that made using water from England.

It's becoming ever clearer that the Labour-led UK Government is actively undermining Scotland's economy and wellbeing. We are not "Too wee and too poor" to succeed as an Independent country, but they are going to do their damnedest to make us so. #YouYesYet?

We have exceeded our pledge to deliver 64,000 NHS surgeries and procedures by the end of March 2025. By the end of January, with two months to go, we’ve already delivered over 75,500. And with the record NHS funding in our Budget, @thesnp.bsky.social will keep reducing waiting times.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Talking Up Scotland! For years I felt bludgeoned by the relentless, negative, 'Scotland Bad', news from BBC Scotland and the Unionist press. I was pointed to Prof John Robertson's blog, an antidote and essential reading for the Independence minded, with full facts suppled. talkingupscotlandtwo.com

Rachel Reeves only needed to promise a mere £3m for the Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry & could have claimed to be working to boost the Scottish economy, but she didn't. It's hard to escape the conclusion this Labour Govt just isn't very good at politics. www.thenational.scot/politics/248...

Scotland is on course to have the lowest child poverty rate in the UK within five years - and it’s set to keep falling, according to a report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Encouraging news but there’s more to do, which is why we’re building a Scotland where every child can thrive.

Egg prices in the States- which became such an issue during the election- continue to rise because of bird flu- it’s killing off chickens & spreading on poultry farms. If you want cheaper eggs, then deal with avian flu first.

Genuine question to any legal eagles out there with ref. to Branchform. How common is it for embezzlement investigations to carry on for over 3 years? How common is it for people to be arrested and questioned, released without charge but still to have a clod hanging over them 18 months later?

Scottish government ministers have a wage rise freeze dating back to 2008. A minister should be paid £99,516pa but actually receives £81,449pa voluntarily paying the difference back into public finances. I wonder why we hear so little about this and whether this would ever happen at Westminster?

ScotGov has been pressing Westminster for 10 years for powers to combat drug addiction, and been routinely refused time after time. This is yet another cynical case of a WM branch office party in Scotland trying to get Holyrood to spend our money on something which is reserved to Westminster.

What Westminster want to do with the NHS is what the Oil majors did in the North Sea. Package up every function and put it out to tender to the private sector. No NHS employees only contractors. Any issues, problems the UK Government state 'Nothing to do with us. Take it up with the contractor'
