My piece for @scotnational.bsky.social today www.thenational.scot/politics/250...

My latest blog piece - more good news from this week's poll and how to use a record pro-indy majority in Holyrood to achieve independence. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/04/15/t...

My latest blog piece, about today's poll showing a double digit lead for independence. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/04/14/s...

🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future. Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

Support for Scottish independence moves into a 12% lead with don't knows removed. YES 52% (+2%) NO 41% (-5%) DONT KNOW 7% (+2%) Changes from 15th Jan. With DK removed: YES 56% NO 44% Via Find Out Now. Sample: 1417 Polling: 7-11 April.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I’m loving Chinese manufacturers airing luxury brand’s dirty laundry on TikTok. [Source: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjRMTmyP/ ]

I no longer want to hear about corruption in Russia, China, Iran, North Korea or Venezuela, England is the cradle of corruption. London or one of the country’s overseas colonies is where the world launders its illicit money. This country wrote the guidelines on corruption, then sold it to the world.

Support independent Scottish media. All you have to do is watch, like and subscribe 👍

I'm currently running the annual fundraiser to support the Wee Ginger Dug blog. I've added a Ko-Fi link to make donating easier ko-fi.com/weegingerdug Writing the blog takes a lot of time and effort, it's my main job. There is no paywall, paid subscription, or advertising.

It’s a pretty dire situation to be governed by another country. Humiliated on a daily basis. WASPI, Brexit, cuts to disability, Grangemouth, mitigating cuts... If the NHS down south gets major cuts it will have a negative impact on SNHS funding. Scots gov blamed. Laughing at you.

Look out for the Bsky artists for independence starter pack. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/04/09/a...

The Observer, in traditional centrist style, bemoans the cuts to disability support and recommends that Reeves "shares the burden more fairly, such as freezing income tax and national insurance thresholds for two years." Because God forbid the billionaires should be inconvenienced in any way...

This is a good, clear summary of a horrific story. It is intolerable and there must be consequences. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Get yourself onto this...

Phenomenal news today! Support for #IndyCymru is at 41% & believe it or not, 75% of their young population (just like in Scotland) want INDEPENDENCE. The future is theirs. With independence they get to build their own future so we need to deliver it for them. #ScottishIndependence #IndyCymru

We need to shift our campaigning for Scottish independence up a gear. This is good stuff.

Never, ever stop being shocked

I've been 'disappointed' in all my meetings with the Scotch Whisky Association. They're a toothless lapdog and, under their 'watch' we nearly saw the demise of Scotch Whisky. They were formed in London, by Big Brands, and aren't interested at all, in Scotland.

Just heard a dire mistake on BBC news: in a report about the police officer caught up in the Iranian embassy siege they said the gang was linked to the Ayatollah. Wrong. They were anti the Ayatollah. What an awful error A recent piece I wrote on the siege here www.heraldscotland.com/politics/245...

This is one of the most extraordinary monologues on the absurdity and madness of war I have heard I found it very moving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQgR...
