Reform thankfully slipping down the polls. But be aware with all those donations a major push to win votes is coming. If you don’t want Reform the only way out is #independence #areyouyesyet #yes #snp #indy #indyref

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.

A rare hit!

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Is Burnham starting to think the only way to stop Scottish #indrpendence is by rejoining the #EU? If you want to be in the #EU then the only guaranteed route is via #indyref2 #areyouyesyet #snp #indy #endtheunion

So the oil that was running out in 2014 has a new pipeline kicking in. We will see almost zero benefit from this new drilling as the price of fuel continues to increase as well as profits We can do things differently via #independence . #snp #Scotland #endlondonrule #indyref #AreYouYesYet

This is my shocked and surprised face

POLITICO Europe@politico.eu

U.K. Labour swept to power with an expensive promise: to create an energy company, hand it billions to invest in British renewables and watch it grow, eventually, to rival other state-owned giants. Two years after GBE was founded, that hasn’t happened.

why everyone doesn't see this is beyond belief 👇 Endless streams of English MPs and English commentators, talking about Scotlands resources. The very same ppl who’ve been relentlessly telling us that Scotland is too poor to be independent, for years.

Oxford Prof says 'The biggest success story in social policy in the UK for 40 years. Stunning. The biggest fall in child poverty anywhere in Europe for at least 40 years. Right here, done here.' in Scotland 'Not reported at all in England.'👇

I'm against drilling for fossil fuels but isn't it odd* the BBC and Sky aren't mentioning in their reports about drilling in the Jackdaw gas field being approved that they told Scots loudly and repeatedly in 2014 that all the oil and gas would be gone within 5 years. *entirely predictable

I choose independence, because no one will ever do a better job for Scotland than the people who live here and love our country. We are ready to write the next chapter in Scotland’s story.

Many, many Scots have long woken up to the fact that BBC Scotland is nothing more than propaganda for UK govt, if you listen to it you'd think Scotland was the worst place in the world to live, never has a good word to say about scotgov mitigating a lot of the 🐂💩 WM has imposed on us.

Independent Voices@indyvoices.bsky.social

BBC Scotland is not really hiding the fact that it’s just another arm of the UK establishment. Live broadcasting Andy Burnham’s speech while not providing live coverage of the SNP conference. Shameful and brazen.

Remember all unionists parties have the same agenda whatever WM wants they will Always Fight against you Never for you they never have and they're not going to start now 👇

Across these islands, the political landscape has changed. Scotland, Wales and the north of Ireland are led by First Ministers committed to independence from the UK. Scotland has the right to decide its future and no Westminster government can simply deny democracy.

So Badenoch vows to fight the SNP "for our union". What does she mean by "our"? Well, the Tories haven't been voted in by Scotland for over 70 years and the people do not have a majority wanting to remove powers from Holyrood. So "our" union means "England's" union. It's a colonialist point of view.

The Scottish Parliament has just overwhelmingly voted to support Scotland's future in the EU. Scotland is a proud European nation, and we want to be back. 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
