Watch as SNP MP Graham Leadbitter challenges Scotland Secretary Douglas Alexander over why Scotland does not have the same legal route to a referendum as Northern Ireland, after the Prime Minister said the 'exactly same situation' applies to both 👇

After the death of BBC Scotland, there’s only one possible course of action: the SNP must demand that broadcasting powers be devolved from Westminster to Holyrood. This country has been deliberately failed by London. So we need to take broadcasting into our own hands In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

The Sovereign Grant to the King doesn’t count as taxable income. Payments by the state to Britons, such as the state pension, carer’s allowance, contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance, and contribution-based employment and support allowance are taxable. That's the law.

It’s grimly hilarious that our government’s McCarthyist crackdowns on opposition have got so bad, so idiotic and so malicious that they may have now bullshat themselves into prosecuting the national security advisor’s wife for a terrorist offence, over a tweet.

😂 How dire must the licence fee figures be if they're this desperate. Well, maybe if you hadn't spent the last decade+ shovelling Farage & other repellent shite into everyones homes, things might be different, but...you did, and it was your choice. So fuck you BBC.

On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.

Andy Burnham will drag us into Trumps illegal Iran war, then they'll hit us with some bs about constitutional issues can't be discussed during a time of war.

Streeting says the UK is providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia because Houthis are attacking civilian targets there Israel has been attacking civilian targets in Gaza for 3yrs & not only are you not providing Palestinians with military assistance, you're arming Israel!

The vast majority of Scotland isn't culturally British or ethnically English either, but for some inexplicable reason they don't want to let us escape their pure bred fascist utopia fantasy.

The Tories have in Excess of £10bn to spend . The old favourites are queuing up , Boris may be back to supervise the project . 😁😂 #areyouyesyet #yes #snp #indy #indyref

The plan for the A83 Rest and Be Thankful upgrade means a single-lane convoy on the Old Military Road for 4 whole years. It'll severely hit Argyll's economy, tourism, and healthcare access. We need a better solution! Please add your name to the petition you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/as...

If ever there was a series that thoroughly deserved a full rescan into 4k & soundtrack remastered into stunning all enveloping surround sound it’s the original Das Boot.

Bet you didn’t know Gregor Fisher (Rab C) has a cooking channel on YouTube. If you don’t follow you may as well renounce your Scottishness. youtu.be/g-F6UOFT-mY?...

The UK Daily Mail obviously did not like the results of its own poll. Its own graphic portrays 75% as less than 50%. #UKPolitics #Brexit #EuropeanUnion

Just saying: Grangemouth Refinery spent decades keeping Scotland moving. Diesel was 24% of its output, supplying 65% of Scottish fuel. Then April 2025 hit. The UK Labour Government sat on its hands and let Scotland’s only crude refinery die. A catastrophic failure of energy security.

And to top it off, Labour are mulling over a compulsory tax on all households to fund this bollox, payable even if you don't watch it.

I’ve been techie since Acorns, Apples, & PCs first appeared. I’ve run networks, done development, been that goto guy for issues, & loved it. But, I’ve just had an ad pop up on YT about some AI stuff & I haven’t a scooby what it meant. And you know what? I couldn’t give less of a fuck If I tried.

Scotland needs it's own public broadcastor.

The top story in Scotland is apparently a call to abolish Holyrood. It's a struggle to find any mention at all of UK Labours cash grab on Scottish pensions to fund care in England. #IndependenceNow #UDI

Why should pensioners in Scotland have to pay for English pensioners to have care that Scots already have? Are we going to pay twice now? Is this the best the #AngloState can come up with?

Scottish pensioners to be penalised, in order to fund the English National Care Service 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Are you YES yet ? 🇪🇺

The leader of a UK government elected on 32% is telling a Scottish government elected on 36% that a 56% pro-Indy Scottish parliament can't hold a referendum that 68% of Scots want. UK democracy, ladies and gentlemen.

We can but wish that if there were legions of Iranian agents in an armada of small boats, they'd be coming to do us all a favour...

Westminster moving through the gears as it looks to undermine the alliance of Scotland, Wales & the North of Ireland, to protect their "union". You Yes Yet Scotland? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SaorAlba #IndyClan #LiberationScotland #Salvo

You know that saying about how the way they treat asylum seekers is the way they’d treat everyone else if they thought they could get away with it? Well,

BBC Scotland only appear to have reported on this Scottish guy once, in this article in 2019. Since then he's been ripping it up, going on to win multiple World Championships. Does that not seem odd? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotla...

An oil-producing nation with no refinery. An exporting nation with no shipping routes. An electricity producer forced to pay to upload to the “national” grid. Welcome to our blessed "union of equals".

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source.

Anyone venturing onto toxic platforms like Facebook and Twitter at the moment will see an endless wave of abuse of the RNLI. But on the plus side. The RNLI are reporting a "significant increase" in donations this week. Let's be part of it..... 👇

Everything he touches turns to shit, which was fine when it was just his own casinos. But now like the proverbial bad kid who's ire has moved on to bigger things than pulling wings off insects or kicking puppies, it's savings, mortgages, stock markets, economies, countries, the world. Wanker.

And with the lunacy of the UK pegging electricity prices to that of gas, guess what's coming....again.

Just did a search which ended up landing me on a personal finance UK Reddit. The only remotely useful thought after some brief reading is...and Labour wants to force people into Stocks & Shares ISAs. Jeez.

Millions of people rely on the information they obtain via a search engine corporation which just proved it would alter digital reality if instructed to do so by those in political power. That’s some crazy shit, Google.
