Increasingly combustible Scottish former youngster, Linlithgow to Dunfermline, desperate to find evidence the world doesn’t become more FU with age. Escape from Westminster insanity would be a good start.

The FM 'business class' smear, BBC hatchet job on Glasgow, BBC ignoring the Glasgow Games, Labour China turbine veto. These stories are breaking along constitutional lines and that's a problem for the BBC. It's taking a side. Folk who aren't political are beginning to sense it.

The world is nearly $250tn in debt That is more than the value of everything on it It's impossible, it is fake Imaginary debt sitting on computer screens, created so you have to pay the banks for it, and the REAL money goes from you to the richest to pay... For imaginary debt

Swinney flies US to support 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 national football team and build business. His sports minister flies economy. BBC in meltdown. Starmer flies private jet - £60000 - for 1 game at the Euros, BBC not a sausage, ditto profligate 'royals' flying here, there, everywhere. State bias.

It is ludicrous that this story was on BBC main news programme as a 'major' story. Yet nothing on BBC when Starmer & his wife flew by private jet to see the England women's team. With this and the Glasgow hatchet job, BBC is in full on Unionist propaganda mode. www.thenational.scot/news/2648343...

‘A politics without a moral vocabulary’. This is really good on Tony Blair’s latest intervention.

The most persuasive critic of Blair's latest essay might be Tony Blair at his peak. The irony is that Blair seems to have forgotten what made Blairism politically powerful in the first place. My latest 👇 substack.com/home/post/p-...

🚨 THIS COULD NOT BE MORE IMPORTANT 🚨 One man (a single human being) has decided to tilt this country towards fascism, has the power to do so and the Government is doing nothing. IT WIILL SOON BE TOO LATE

The UK government should do something about malevolent foreign interference in British democracy. Urgently.

‘If slavery were invented today, would (Labour ministers) call it ‘impractical’? If torture were invented today, would they call it ‘ineffective’? If child labour were invented today, would they call it ‘poor value for money’?’ My piece for @bylines.scot bylines.scot/politics/sta...

Other than the first two Scottish Parliament elections, pro-independence parties have held a combined majority in Holyrood since 2011. Four consecutive pro-independence majorities. The latest one being the biggest yet at 73 seats to 56. When will Westminster finally get the message? 𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗡

People across Scotland will be deeply worried by another rise in energy bills announced today. We produce enormous amounts of energy, yet despite Labour’s promises to cut them, bills keep soaring. It’s time Scotland had control of Scotland’s energy.

Graham Laurie🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 reposted

The expected response was “The UK Government does not support independence or another referendum.” But Scotland is not asking Westminster to support independence - only to respect Scotland’s right to choose. That decision belongs to the people of Scotland, not Westminster. Where's the democracy?

The anti-independence parties and press often claim the indyref was once in a generation. It was never a binding pledge, it was campaign hype to boost engagement which Westminster is weaponising to avoid being held to account for breaking its own pledges. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/05/23/t...

I guess you're talking about the Scottish referendum of 2014 too then. How the Scots were lied to, promised further devolution, promised EU continuity, even its HS2. But instead 👇

80% of Reform's funding comes from people who avoid tax by hiding money offshore. Our idea of true patriotism is to hoard money while contributing nothing towards public services. Just ask Richard Tice.

Yes 'slogan': 'once in a generation opportunity'. No *promises*: The Vow. Devomax. Vote No to stay in the EU. Federal UK within 2 years. Cheaper food. Cheaper electricity bills. Stability. Security. Guess which one unionists and unionist BBC tv hosts insist must be honoured. #Scotland #Indyref2

If this is an equal Union then why do England hold all powers over the rest of us? If Scot Wales and N Ireland want independence it should be up to us. We didnt get to stay in EU either . Its always England rule over the rest of us. Time to change and WM need to get ready. #indy

Shapeshifting Burnham ditches trans rights to panic-grab Reform votes And if that doesn’t look like it could get him elected then he’s willing to change his mind over hundreds of other red lines that he’s absolutely committed to 🤣

The word Independence needs to be purged from Scottish political discourse. Scotland is not dependent on England. England is dependent on Scotland. It is England who will become "independent" when Scotland de-colonises. The appropriate term is LIBERATION.

It’s almost laughable watching the clowns of these two parties each with just 17 seats in a 129-seat Parliament squabble over who gets to call themselves the official opposition. Neither comes close to a mandate, yet both act as if they speak for Scotland. 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥’𝗦 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘
