🥀Labour's Sarwar thinks he can do better than The SNP's Scottish Government in delivering our NHS? Compare Scotland with Labour's performance in maternity, neonatal, community and hospital-based children’s services in England and Wales... I'd rather stick with @thesnp.bsky.social thanks.

Starmer claims there will be £200m invested in Grangemouth. So why will it still be closing and why could the UK government find £600m to invest in a refinery in Belgium?

Why?

This is a desperate act of a failed politician who has flip flopped & lied his party in mediocrity within the country they claim to represent. Whilst calling out, Arguable one of Scotland's best ambassadors for his crude & vulgar comedy. All the time supporting crude & vulgar policies from his boss.

A formal complaint has been raised against BBC Scotland after the station's five day coverage of the NHS Fife 'trans tribunal' story. The complaint alleges 'bias by omission' for a failure to inform the public of a similar court case raised by nurses in England. Please RT folks.

During the general election campaign Labour Sarwar promised household energy bills would fall quickly. They haven't. They've gone up twice. Why did Sarwar promise they'd fall quickly? Will bills eventually fall to a level £300 lower than when Labour came to power, as Labour promised? (MSM Monitor)

How energy is charged in other countries where they're not being robbed blind for their own renewables 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.thenational.scot/news/2495529...

Would you trust this man with your child’s future? He made false promises on #Grangemouth Do you fancy reliving the 1970’s /1980’s ? #saorsascot #labourwrongdirection #ScottishIndependence #YouYesYet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Trying to out Tory the Tories doesn't wash in Scotland! #ScottishIndependence

My piece for today's @scotnational.bsky.social Anas Sarwar has decided that the anti-independence parties have already won the 2026 Holyrood elections www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

Labour don’t have any new plans for #Scotland The only changes they intend making are to our detriment Let’s agree not to be fooled again !! #IndyClan #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #saorsascot #labourwrongdirection

Now this !! Sarwar has lost the plot! #Labour want to emulate #Trump & #Musk The plan -install (cost £millions) DOGE Dept of Gov Expenditure! Remember back when Jack McConnell sent £1.5 billion to WM as Labour couldn’t spend it. We were poorer than poor but Jack got an ermine 🤷🏼‍♀️ #saorsascot

Spot on

Energy is reserved. So this is a Starmer policy. Why would he want us to pay more for energy than Londoners? Figure it out. Are you yes yet?

There's no longer any denying it. The US and Russia are now allies, aligned against Europe. And we need to scramble like mad to work out what to do.

Here's the thread I wrote 3 days ago. Many people told me it was highly unlikely. Perhaps they're right. But today it suddenly looks a lot likelier.

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👇🏻

Labour Sarwar's plan to transport patients 100's of miles for treatment in the private sector is already happening in England. Patients are ferried by taxi to private clinics. As well as costing a fortune, it's also leading to surgeons & nurses leaving the NHS. (MSM Monitor) youtu.be/cC5_hsRzNsE

I'm positive most of you can get behind this new petition:

BBC Scotland News made no mention of the huge peo Palestine march in Glasgow today. This organisation is an enemy of Scotland and should be dealt with as you would any enemy. They must be removed from our public life. They are here to damage Scotland. Aware yourselves.

Interesting! Even the most yoonish of Yoon Labour supporters writing for a Labour publication is shocked and dismayed at Sarwar's crazy lurch to the right embracing Musk's DOGE as a way to attack Scottish democracy. He describes it as dangerous. Only #ScottishIndependence will do. #YouYesYet

This is NOT The Labour Party. These ppl do not work for our interests. Stop voting for them. They're working against your interests and filling their pockets while collaborating with big business.

Paul Hutcheon @ The Daily Record, take a bow, Malcolm X predicted you and yours. May shame, one day, lead to the destruction of the duplicity contained in your unionist rag.

The UK's anti-protest laws pre-legitimise far right authoritarianism. Labour must repeal them now. My column today. www.theguardian.com/global/comme...

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

Gaza destroyed. Let's start on the rest of the West Bank. There's no stopping the Zionists.

#LabourLies

Bullshit euphemisms. "questionable salute" "controversial salute" "provocative gesture" Say it. These are Nazi salutes. Why did Bannon seig heil? Because he's a Nazi and because the press let Musk get away with the same thing by not calling it what it is. www.thedailybeast.com/bannon-does-...

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

I can only operate on the assumption that this could happen 500 times a day and journalists would still describe it as a 'controversial hand gesture' Media: you are actively and unforgivably helping murderous racists and violent bigots when you do this. Stop, we are begging you

Let's get ready for #Scottishindependence. This time - international relations and the Scottish Government’s policies for an independent Scotland, which include - joining UN and EU - setting up a constitution - citizenship www.gov.scot/publications...

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Still YES then, YES now, AYE 'til I die. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It's TIME for #ScottishIndependence

The serendipity of these two posts together:

Scottish Labour are standing up for Starmer, not for Scotland.

Scottish Labour (aka “the branch office”) u-turn on opposition to the Internal Market Act that opens up the possibility of privatisation of the Scottish NHS. Who are Labour for these days.

Lol Trump wants a new Say No To Drugs campaign? I have an idea...

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵
