Scotland will be a normal country. Scotland will do all the things normal countries do Where we are right now is the outlier in the family of countries. Being in a union of 4 countries, where one of the countries totally overwhelms the others is unique

Westminster voting intention - Scotland: SNP 36% Lab 17% Ref 16% LD 12% Con 11% Grn 6% oth 2% Westminster seat projection: SNP 47 seats (+38) LD 6 seats (nc) Con 3 seats (-2) Lab 1 seat (-36) (Opinium, 19-21 February; usual caveats apply to sub-samples)

Very laudable but I doubt it will have any affect - too many Israeli donors to worry about.

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.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “They think they want good government and justice for all, Vimes, yet what is it they really crave, deep in their hearts? Only that things go on as normal and tomorrow is pretty much like today.”

Sorry @antmiddleton , "a great view of London"?, erm, I hate to break it to you pal, but you can't see London from the top of a mountain in bloody Spain. Typical ReformUK bullshitter with a fucking delusional superiority complex. No wonder the thicko gammons like you. 🤦‍♂️

Let's fix it NOW! Independence NOW for Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 the only way to fix this fktastrophe that robs Wales & all her people and their prosperity is to end this toxic union & the Westminster parasites destruction of our nation & her peoples lives with their enslavement of our nation,her people & our DESTINY

😡😡

If only they had a government that cared.

Nigel Farage is a useless sack of shit and the billionaires are happy for him to takeover. That's why they constantly promote him on the billionaire Media.

MSM-Monitor.. BBC Scotland hasn't just airbrushed Anas Sarwar out of the Rachel Reeves cuts story, it's airbrushed the SNP out of the story too. There's no mention that John Swinney, Kate Forbes and Stephen Flynn warned voters what Labour was planning during the election campaign.

Hospital acquired infection rates drastically cut due to early SNP action to prevent the outsourcing it inherited from Labour. Take note Sarwar and Baillie. talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/22/h...

It's no bother if you can't, but if you can afford to chip in that would be immense. We'll still bring you stories about and affect Scotland. We're all volunteers fighting for #CitizenJournalism!

The disabled are the only minority anyone can become a part of at any time. Anyone could have a stroke, anyone could suffer life-changing injuries in an accident, anyone could develop a debilitating illness. An attack on the disabled is an attack on everyone. www.thenational.scot/news/2495140...

What a riddie. Imagine losing away to a good Hibs side and STILL moving further ahead. Is there nothing Celtic won't do to try and save big Phil Mitchell?

MSM-Monitor... Ian Murray, 21 Feb 2025: "Before the election we made a solemn promise to end austerity, it was a promise made in our manifesto, and a promise delivered ... austerity ended, full stop." Let's review these words after the budget.

If BBC Scotland reporter Kirsten Campbell knows the 'single sex spaces' issue is caused by the Equality Act 2010 then why is she pushing Unionist propaganda blaming the SNP? NHS bodies across the UK are interpreting this legislation the same way and issuing identical guidelines. (MSM Monitor)

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Jackie Baillie is at it again Using quotes from NHS workers in the southeast of England and claiming they're from SNHS Despicable human being and a traitor to her nation and its people 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿This Is The Way🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.thenational.scot/news/2495569...

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

Despite the bold promises The Vow never delivered the so-called "Devo Max" full control over tax & welfare that many voters were led to expect. Instead, the Scotland Act 2016 handed over limited powers while Westminster retained control of key areas like pensions, employment law and foreign policy.

Hunt sabs’ sabotage illegal hunts, using the same tools as hunters. They allege loopholes in the law allow cruel hunting to persist. Jacqui Burgoyne reports

Putin “loved Brexit, cheers on the far right in Europe and backed Trump because he wants to see the crumbling of the western bloc that has stood firm against him. For a US president to follow that script….is a huge win for the Kremlin” Trump-the traitorous patsy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's against the rules to mislead the public, quote lies, misrepresent her constituency, give false information, and be a general liar whereby deception must be dealt with @johnswinney.bsky.social

I see Wings believes Reform is a credible alternative to SNP. Insanity

France is taxing the rich, it is time for the UK to do the same. Many of these people are paying a tax rate of less than 10%.

Currently America and specifically Trump holds the keys to the UK nuclear deterrent and the main armament of our £10 billion carriers. And we still push ahead with replacing Trident with Dreadnought class submarines. Complete incompetence from decades of Westminster gov'ts has neutered our defence

Terrific piece by @[email protected]. The dirty secret of Britain’s independent nuclear deterrent that it has never been independent. What would Britain do if America switched it off should be the starting point for any serious debate about UK foreign policy on.ft.com/4b9n4FP

Did you know that Highland cows, like Harry, are one of the oldest registered cattle breeds in the world?

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

John Swinney handing Labour Sarwar his backside on a plate is becoming a ritual now at FMQ's. (MSM Monitor) youtu.be/ICn-Jn5WdjA

To clarify, UK politicians are looking at what's happening in Washington DC right now and saying "that is good, we should do that"

I wish I could tell you that my books are available in your local bookshop, but they rarely are. It has been almost impossible to get bookshops to take books in Scots from a small publisher. But you can get them all here, or from me via www.billykay.scot www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Billy...

We've had reports that M&S has had so many calls asking them to stop advertising with GB News that there's now a dedicated team handling messages about this issue 👏👏👏 Lines are open from *9am to 4pm* today and the number is 0333 014 8000 Let's keep this going!

#YouYesNow #IndyClan? It's TIME for #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

99.9999999% of U.K. Media have totally ignored Sarwar’s multiple lies and U-turns. Scotland is deluged by propaganda every single day. Despite that, the desire for independence is growing.

jackie Baillie really has it in for the SNHS.. Baillie uses a nurse in England to show the 'reality of the Scottish NHS' The odious woman that is Jackie Baillie takes some equalling even in the sphere of Labour's branch office crooks. www.thenational.scot/news/2495569...
