I always like to think I can find a positive in every situation. If Starmer does invite Maghat Trump to Scotland it will give the entire world a chance to share one of the best memes ever made and pay a fitting homage to a Scottish legend

If the people vote for it the people will have it clackwanker or is that "voluntary" union not voluntary as we all expected. #Scottishindependence #nolabourinscotland #VoteSNP #voteindy

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

What did Scotland get in return for our massive oil wealth? A9 dualled? A96 dualled? Cheaper energy? Cheaper food? Cheaper public transport? We got Thatcher, our kids killed fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, Boris Johnson, Decades of austerity, our FoM stripped from us and next up Nigel Farage. UK👎🏼

Education for all is how we teach people to think and not be drawn in by propaganda and lies. Our Universities are under threat and must be cherished.

Westminster stole Scotland's oil wealth. Now we have some of the most expensive energy bills in Europe. Here's why we've been putting posters up highlighting this across Scotland 👇

@teachersforindy.bsky.social I am sick of the media using ill informed opinions on statistics to bash the SNP government, teachers and pupils just because they don’t like the idea of Scottish Independence! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/01/29/r...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Frankly - I am absolutely disgusted. This is NOT a Labour government. It bears no resemblance to what Labour is supposed to represent.

So Labour’s ScottishBranch Office still can’t bring themselves to vote for a budget which, among other things, increases spending on Health and establishes a way to mitigate the 2 child benefit cap. Says it all, really.

During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. Instead, they’ve increased them - and bills are rising again by 6.4% in April. Scotland is an energy-rich nation and the fact we’re paying sky-high prices is Westminster failure in action. We deserve better.

Event of considerable interest with @dickwinchester.bsky.social . The rise of reform in Scotland is of real concern. Is the rapid drive to net zero causing people to turn to reform? This will be discussed along with all things energy. All welcome.

"Sinn Féin won't travel to White House over Trump's policies." When a leader calls for straight-up ethnic cleansing (of Gaza), this is the only principled response. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Just a reminder that in 2018, Palestinians in Gaza mounted the Great March of Return to PEACEFULLY show the world their plight. They walked, unarmed, to Israel's military fences around Gaza in peaceful protest. Israel shot 8,000 with live ammunition, killed 220 Palestinians. 36,143 in total injured.

Sturgeon said: "By making us poorer, they'll say we can't afford to be independent. By cutting our trade with the EU, they'll say we are too dependent on the rest of the UK. By causing our population to fall, they'll say the country is ageing too fast. They want us to believe we are powerless..." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
