@stv.news shame on you, massive long item and crawling interviews with Tice the fascist. When will yous ever learn YOU DON'T PLATFORM FASCISTS

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

We have to spread the good news because the media will not. #independence #Scotland

Great writing here. Why Scotland should be independent bylines.scot/opinion/why-...

Labour voters in Scotland who receive Adult Disability Payment, which replaces the DWPs PIP system up here & is now fully devolved to ScotGov, meaning cuts to PIP by UKLab will NOT affect them, should realise if SLab were in power in Scotland that would NOT be the case 💯

"American satellites will see Russian planes setting off to attack Ukrainian cities, and won't warn Ukraine. That's how evil the Trump regime's denial of intelligence information to Ukraine is. Complicity in murder."

NHSScotland carry out 97.5% of planned operations on time! Congratulations to all staff! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/03/05/a...

SNP run NHSScotland consistently beats Labour run NHSWales on a more difficult to achieve target for mental health treatment. talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/03/05/p...

Polls are not proof elections are. Our next chance to prove the majority want indy is 2026. Get promoting indy now.

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

Well done The SNP 👏

Between the Ukraine debacle and the tariffs saga Trump is not a man with whom anyone can risk doing business!

If the Covid Inquiry hopes to have any credibility it needs to look at the so called VIP lane, and in public, not private.

Truth

As Labour government cuts millions from funding for victims’ services, SNP increase it by 12% in one year talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/03/02/a...

WM are sabotaging all that is Scottish

We need to stand squarely behind Ukraine. The UK Government shouldn’t be rolling out the red carpet for Trump if he can’t back Ukraine’s independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen 👏

Spineless Trump sycophant and Putin apologist Marco Rubio terminated U.S. support for restoring Ukraine's energy grid moments after President Zelenskyy was kicked out of the White House. Shameless. Despicable. Cowardly.

Starmer's foreign policy lies in tatters this evening. No one is interested in him being a "bridge" between Europe and a bullying extortionist who is in Putin's pocket and cannot be relied upon.

Ed Miliband claimed yesterday that UK Energy will reduce electricity prices for consumers in the UK. Unless he changes the rules on energy pricing, it won't. Why do Labour talk total nonsense? Are they ignorant, stupid or liars? It's a fair question to ask. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

All 22 Labour MSPs abstained and all 31 Tories voted against it Well done to our SNP Government and the Green's and Lib Dems for passing this landmark budget 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 All Liebour and Tory MSPs preferred keeping kids in poverty and freezing pensoniors 👇🏻

"#Alexander_Stubb speaking in #Kyiv today: ▪️ It is not #Russia who decides on #EU membership. It is the #European_Union who does that. ▪️ It is not #Russia that decides on #NATO membership. It is the alliance itself. ▪️ It is not #Russian that decides on what #Ukraine has by its border

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT! How DARE UK government invite that shitgibbon to OUR country. If #Starmer wants him to visit, let him stay in England. #TrumpisaCunt! We, the Scottish people oppose this, if we can't stop it, must disrupt it with signs visible from space! www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/...

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

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

Two years ago, Labour opposed the Internal Market Act - which is nothing short of an undemocratic power grab from Westminster. Today, Labour have just voted together with the Tories against protecting the powers of our Parliament. Only the SNP will stand up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In days like these it is worth remembering that: a) Russia invaded Ukraine, b) Russia had previously given security guarantees to Ukraine that it would not threaten or use military force or economic coercion. It's time for European leaders to stand with Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini

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..." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Can you name a single European country that got independence in the last 100 years and failed? They all succeeded so can Scotland.👇🏻

Neoliberals say Rachel Reeves has three options to dodge an economic crisis. They ignore other choices. Help the less well-off - Abolish VAT on domestic fuel, cut std rate of VAT, increase personal allowance by £1,000, Tax the rich. QE for infrastructure.

When the world changes, so should the Chancellor www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... Reeves thinks she is boxed in when. it comes to government spending. But that's because she has not realised the world has changed - and so should she if she's going to meet the needs we now have.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

5/6 Wordle. Don't think Trump! 😳

Why do working folks think wealthy men have their backs? My column in today's Sunday National.

Think back about the fuss over Fracking. The Scottish government found a loop hole and stopped it. We were told it was necessary. Necessary for whom? Not the people. Well done SNP saving our water and country side.

Agree

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.
