'It’s weird, and considerably annoying, to watch Burnham raid the Scottish policy larder on empowered communities, backed by institutions, legislation and constitutional reform.' Pat Kane, via The National archive.is/RZEfo

Bank of England governor walks out of IMF summit in protest against Russia. Sanctimonious tokenism. UK trades and its Crown Dependencies & Overseas Territories trade with Russia. EU buys uranium from Russia. US buying Russian diesel. Sanctions undermined from within. Need different strategies

A would-be Reform UK MP told an undercover reporter that Muslims could not be British and asylum seekers should be put in “concentration camps”. Refers to black children as “animals”. Reform is a party of sleaze, scandals, misogyny and racism, devoid of humanity. Will history repeat itself?

'For Scotland to continue being a key node in Nato would mean being a platform for US and British power-projection. As precedent shows, this entails involvement in disastrous wars with no benefit to the people of Scotland whatsoever.' Simon Rafanell-Williams, via The National archive.is/Z5oEV

Thames Water asks creditors for another £2.4bn. Up to 30% of TW revenue covers financial costs. Debt spiral deepens problems, it borrowed to pay dividends. Hedge funds funding TW, hoping to asset-strip, hike bills, govt bailout. Let it go bust. Nationalise permanently.

“Independence should not simply change who governs Scotland. It should change what government believes it can achieve. The question is not whether Scotland can afford a better future, but whether it has the courage to create one.” Richard Murphy

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.

Scotgov need to wake TF up & get us out right now, 300 odd yrs of theft of our resources, deliberately keeping Scots poor, destruction of our industries & now denial of our democratic right to decide. It needs to happen now, not in 5yrs, not in 10yrs, right now. #ScottishIndependenceNow
Scotch Whisky has been extracted from Scotland, for over 200 years. It was the same with Coal. It's the same with Gas, Oil and Renewable Energy. It's going to be same with Water.

Scotland was already promised 'Devomax' in 2014 if we voted No. Instead we got Devoless. Now Burnham is trying to pull the same rug out from beneath us again. Don't get fooled again.
Andy Burnham joked with a crowd in Scotlland today that his 'No.10 North' in Manchester is actually their 'No.10 South'. Speaking in Motherwell, he urged voters to 'move beyond' debates about Scottish independence, saying he wanted to'move on from the old politics of conflict'.

My latest blog piece - Pulling focus, Burnham and Badenoch's transparent attempts to distract attention from the SNP conference reveals how scared they are of the Celtic Alliance and rising support for Scottish independence. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/17/p...

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

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.
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.

Interesting: the Board of Deputies of British Jews has suspended 36 members, essentially accusing them of antisemitism for signing a letter condemning genocide. #ItWasAScam is folding in & consuming itself... To be clear, opposing genocide isn't antisemitic; it's human. bod.org.uk/bod-news/sta...

American educator, Jane Elliott, did an experiment & asked an audience, 'hands up if you'd be happy to be treated the same way as black people.' No response! Same here, ask Israelis if they'd be happy to be treated the same as Palestinians. They know, they all know, what's happening to them.

'We have an economy shaped by manipulative, narcissistic sociopaths. I mean literally – one in 20 members of the public are probably sociopaths, but among CEOs it is one in five. Being a sociopath is lucrative when your economy is sociopathic.' Robin McAlpine, via Common Weal
