This is excellent from Vance local Paper @ohiocapitaljournal.com OUCH! And good to see them taking the side of Rory Stewart and, er, the Pope, on Vance mistaken views on God ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/02/25/o...

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Trump DoJ lawyers pushing this stuff can’t be humiliated enough for my taste. So many people should spit at their feet that they need galoshes.

Who'd choose to be part of the UK when everyone in Scotland could benefit from being independent and back in the centre of Europe? The only thing stopping us are the Unionist parties in Westminster. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 #ScottishIndependence www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Poorest fifth in England pay 4.8% of income in council tax; richest fifth 1.5%. 27% real term cut in council funding since 2010, govt hand tax cuts to corporations/rich. Poor hit with regressive taxes VAT Fuel duty Wages taxed at higher rates than dividends, capital gains. Need tax justice.

"Mary and the Soldier" is a folk song that tells the story of a young woman named Mary whose lover, a soldier, is called away to war, leaving her heartbroken and longing for his return. I hope you enjoy! youtu.be/d2bi3oIweys

Anas Sarwar now says he cannot save Grangemouth because it is a private company. It was also a private company before the election, when he said he would save it. #Grangemouth #independence #Scotland

"Wild Mountain Thyme" is a traditional Scottish love song about a young man searching for a sweetheart in the summer. The song's lyrics are based on a poem by Robert Tannahill, and the melody is based on a variant of "The Braes of Balquhither".

Talking Up Scotland! For years I felt bludgeoned by the relentless, negative, 'Scotland Bad', news from BBC Scotland and the Unionist press. I was pointed to Prof John Robertson's blog, an antidote and essential reading for the Independence minded, with full facts suppled. talkingupscotlandtwo.com
