Anas Sarwar is so independent he CHOSE to deliver a conference speech following Starmer on nuclear energy, regional mayors, more private sector in NHS Scotland & cutting bueaucracy. He ignored Grangemouth, Waspi women & trades unions but mentioned business 14 times. He can keep his "new direction."

Since his inauguration, Trump's net approval with Ipsos has fallen from +7 to -8. Democrats: -69 to -82 (down 13pts) Independents: -3 to -21 (down 18pts) Republicans: +84 to +76 (down 8pts)

This is completely and utterly wrong. Scotland stands with Ukraine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

🧵 When I said my government would leave no stone unturned to find the solutions to secure Grangemouth’s future, I meant it. I’ve just set out some measures to Parliament seeking to protect workers and secure Grangemouth’s future. Here’s a thread 👇 1/8

🚨51 years ago a UK Government memo detailed the astonishing energy wealth of Scotland. It was deliberately kept secret for decades. Today in 2025 Scotland has some of Europe's HIGHEST energy bills. What's going on? Our new investigation starts 24.02 www.thenational.scot/news/2494284...

Nothing new here just BBC being BBC

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Ukraine’s right to independence and territorial integrity must be absolute. Any peace deal must recognise this. The international community should not concede to aggression and we must not allow Putin’s violence to be rewarded.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Poor coverage of Gaza at the BBC: failure of journalism A BBC report on the ceasefire in Gaza fails to fact check Israeli violations, while obscuring key context – this isn’t journalism, it’s neglect.

The SNP will ride to victory once again thanks to Labour betraying Grangemouth. Starmer is allowing an icon of Scottish industry to die and his party will pay for that at the next Holyrood elections Bring on Indy My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Anas Sarwar gave a car crash interview to STV, asked why the jobs at Grangemouth are going despite saying "Vote Labour to save the jobs" during the GE campaign, he kept repeating "This is a privately owned company." Did he not know that when he made the pledge? He's either a fool, a liar, or both.

Here you go, I fixed it. Headline: ‘Trump’s comments appear to back ethnic cleansing of Gaza’ #BBC #Israel #Gaza

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous. There must be no ethnic cleansing. Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

The UK is definitely heading for a hard right English nationalist take over of government. The Union as traditionally understood is over. At best, Scotland can act as an airbag in the car crash of English politics, but the problem with that is the car still crashes & the airbag gets burst.

Labour's Anas Sarwar says he’s open to working with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK ‘on a case-by-case basis' to become First Minister of Scotland. Vote Sarwar, get Farage.

🌟Good morning. Here’s today’s content from #BrandScotland showcasing Scotland as a fantastic place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Please share. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌍

My latest blog piece, Labour's implosion in Scotland is an opportunity the independence parties can take advantage of weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/02/02/l...

Wow. Just listen to this from Canadian MP, Charlie Angus on Trump's tariffs: “The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States—a convicted felon and known predator”

We need to stop reacting to grifting far-right fuckheads. When we post links to their bullshit, we play their game. We give them attention, amplify their lies and hate, and crucially help them earn money which only drives them to do more of the same. We need to kill this shit with implacable silence

….And here it is! Westminster’s “uk wide” major infrastructure projects plan, where Cymru, Scotland and Northern Ireland fail to be prioritised, until it comes to paying for it all of course - Independence is the only way out of this eternal one-sided farce of a relationship!#independenceisnormal

Labour have announced they are investing taxpayer money to drive growth "across the UK". Guess where almost all of it is going.

With today's Commons vote on compensation for Waspi women, we are about to see YET AGAIN that Labour's Scottish MPs are mere lobby fodder for Starmer & there is no such thing as "Scottish Labour" in Westminster. This will be Anas Sarwar over the next few days.

Message to Trump:

Scotrail is the new Calmac for the miserablist anti-independence Scottish media, determined to 'prove' we couldn't possibly cope as an independent nation. Never mind that Scotrail performs better than any other rail company in the UK. talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/01/13/b...

A significant milestone reached in the 4 day week campaign @4dayweek.bsky.social “As hundreds of British companies and one local council have already shown, a four-day week with no loss of pay can be a win-win for both workers and employers.” www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j...

The RED weather warning we have today is very serious. There are extensive school closures, transport disruption and many dangers from the strong wind. Police Scotland have issued ‘do not travel’ advice. Please follow all of the advice and stay safe. #StormEowyn

FMQs erupts as John Swinney accuses Jackie Baillie of lying about NHS (Well she does. All. the. time. She needs to be called out on it) www.thenational.scot/news/2487922...

Because who needs cybersecurity? It's so fucking woke.

NEW: Michael Shanks was unable to clarify how many jobs would be created by GB Energy during his appearance in front of the Scottish Parliament’s energy committee. He was pressed for clarity on exactly how many jobs would be available through GB Energy.

Bet Donald Trump is delighted that his inauguration was overshadowed by an unhinged tech bro doing nazi salutes.

I do love Bluesky, BUT …one thing I cannot stand on here is the fawning over Biden. What happened in Gaza (and West Bank, Lebanon - and also Afghanistan before) was unforgivable. Utterly unforgivable. And I’ll be going posting that on all these sycophantic Biden-MAGA posts.

Um. What the fuck? “Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.” Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

Ben-Gvir’s claim that he previously prevent today’s hostage deal for months on end shows that Netanyahu & his govt chose to prolong the war in Gaza while hostages died & Israel annihilated tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Shame on all those who’ve supported this horror inc the UK Govt

Scottish Labour has slumped to fifth place among older voters for the Holyrood election after the winter fuel payment debacle. A poll has found Anas Sarwar's party on 11%, behind Reform UK. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Today's front page 📰 'The collective punishment of Gaza won't be forgotten'

'Can we have a debate on the spectacular fall of Scottish Labour in the polls'? Scottish Labour MPs like nothing more than to drone on about the Scottish Government. Maybe that also has something to do with their catastrophic decline.....

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👇

First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social: "On the basis of the last few months, what people in Scotland are waking up to is the fundamental dishonesty of the Labour Party, and Mr Sarwar epitomises it." #FMQs
