We all have our own vision of an indy Scotland. My Scotland would be a republic, Nordic state in the EU. A country that cares for its population and people in the wider world. A country that can hold it's head up high and do what is right.

More investment. More opportunities for Scottish businesses. More good jobs coming to Scotland. That’s what stronger links with India will deliver for Scotland. I am working to make the most of these relationships to grow our economy and improve people’s lives.

Tomorrow's front page 📰 SNP MP detained by Israel issues West Bank warning

EXCLUSIVE: Israel has a 'clear agenda' for the Palestinian West Bank which mirrors what has happened in Gaza, an SNP MP detained by Israeli authorities has warned www.thenational.scot/news/2...

Yep, once you see it you can't unsee it. #ScottishIndependenceNow

“What is it that they are so terrified of us seeing?” In an exclusive statement to The New Arab, SNP MP Lara Bird has revealed how European lawmakers were held for eight hours before being forced to return to Jordan after Israel barred them from entering the occupied West Bank on Monday.

Love it ! That's cheered up an otherwise, wet, chilly day !

By any reasonable interpretation the quasi-military activities of far right groups in Scotland breach the 1936 Public Order Act which was introduced to curtail Oswald Moseley's Blackshirts. If no action is taken, these groups will only be emboldened. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/27/t...

Russia has committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, and human trafficking during its almost five-year invasion of Ukraine, according to a new UN report 👇

Attempts to shine a light on the situation in Palestine must not be silenced. Palestinians must not be abandoned and left to face ethnic cleansing and genocide in silence. Read @katenevens.bsky.social's full statement 👇

Must be a poll of yoons !

Trump is shit, the news is shit, and my sanity is questionable. So I help evacuate #animals from war zones. Cats scream, dogs hop into the truck voluntarily, chickens file complaints, and cows go MOOOO. Still more therapeutic than watching Washington. Join me ⤵️

A snap Ref soon would suit me fine.

Political game-playing or not (or whatever) Trump and his family/cabal/etc are no friends of the West. God alone what mischief they have and are cooking up together - sadly poor Ukraine and others are caught in the middle.of their games.

Thread. But I don't like gherkins anyway so doesn't help me !!

Robert's Right ✅️.......

Not all in the US are Trump devotees it seems! A longish but entertaining(?) thread.

The net is closing.

No wonder this Lab gov are such devotees of Israel - the Palestinians/Gaza don't stand a chance. Blackmail is something of an understatement.

The sole survivor of her family… now she is gone too. Eight-year-old Fatima Al-Bayouk lost her entire family to an Israeli strike in 2023. Yesterday, Israeli forces killed her too, south of Deir al-Balah, Gaza. (Ramy Abdu)

New UN report: Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Occupied Palestinian Territory amid continuing genocide in Gaza www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

The people of Scotland have always known

Do not forget ICE apparently get some of the info on their suspects from Palantir. The same Palantir who have their claws into NHS England.

And if it doesn't have the BBC who is the Gov going to be able to use to disperse its propaganda?

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅

Part of a thread:

A major coastal route between Largs and Greenock remains closed after being severely damaged during Storm Boelo 🚨

However well-meaning the cause the Israeli side will not ",appreciate" any well-meaning intentions - aren't they raiding all the olive plantations for their own benefit? I would suggest if you support Gaza's right to exist/survive do not buy olive oil if you know or suspect it is from Israel.

♥️!

Journalists are questioning the BBC's decision to broadcast 40 minutes of 'propaganda' from Reform UK without interruption or challenge ⬇️ www.thenational.scot/news/2...

No one says the media shouldn't hold the SNP & ScotGov to account, but when only 1 newspaper out of 38 dailies & weeklies in Scotland supports indy, which has majority support in most polls, & pro-indy parties have won majorities in Holyrood since 2011, there's a huge problem of media imbalance.

Trump should butt put of this, and other situations - he causes more problems than if he left well alone 😡. He seems to live under the impression he's God and the only one who can sort things out.

Finally - an organisation with authority says what needs saying.

And the only media I can see covering it is the National www.thenational.scot/news/2667202...

Green MSP Kate Nevens and SNP MP Lara Bird have been kidnapped by Israel for trying to enter Palestine. The Prime Minister should be demanding their immediate release.

FFS 😡 I've only just started clearing up the garden after the last couple of days and finally found the "Mary Poppins" mobile greenhouse (lurking in a neigbour's garden). Leaves in the park behind me have all suddenly turned brown so I suppose tomorrow's storm will bring them all down (deep sigh)🙄

#Scottishindependence

Richard Murphy in the National on our detailed report "But most importantly from my perspective, it also looks at the issues people will worry about, including the protection of their pensions, their mortgages and the value of a Scottish currency" www.thenational.scot/politics/266...

But there will be some rock solid reason why Scotland can't have a second Referendum - if only 'cos Westminster says it can't.

Wait till Deform get wind of this !

Scotland’s North Sea energy: a burden when we talk about independence, but a valuable asset when Westminster needs the money? Sounds familiar 🤔 https://www.snp.org/what-does-scotlands-energy-and-andy-murray-have-in-common/

Children's laureates for both Ireland and Wales have announced they are donating their royalties to fiction author Sally Rooney in a show of solidarity after her publisher stopped selling her books in the UK 👇
