Vance: "Remember in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine and gas prices skyrocketed. They skyrocketed, by the way, far higher than they are today...They skyrocket every time some tin pot dictator decides to throw a tantrum."
We must not be duped again. Alex Salmond was wrong-footed on currency. Detailed discussions had already been initiated by the Bank of England. But Darling & Osbourne just declared that they wouldn’t Scotland share sterling. The debate was lost at that moment. youtube.com/shorts/ituLS...
'There is no plan. The National Grid is already failing to take advantage of renewables. The Grid was designed for the coal age, and has been so badly developed and maintained for our changing modern world, it is now dysfunctional.'

"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"

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia?
Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right.
Don't appease.
Don't triangulate.
Don't grovel.
Don't say they have "legitimate concerns".
Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

SCOTTISH SOCIALIST PARTY FIGHTS FOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP! ✊️
Richie Venton lays out the SSP's vision for a Scottish transport system that works for people, not profit.
To have meaningful control over our public services, we need public ownership!

Pooling and Sharing...looks like a one way street to me. It’s our wealth & England are helping themselves to it. Too late to reclaim what they’ve already looted, but we can ensure we keep future revenues in Scotland. Independence isn’t really a choice, it’s an economic necessity.👇

Big UK banks pocketed £29.2bn in six months while our bills went up! A windfall tax on bank profits would raise £19bn for our schools & NHS. Banks and their lobbyists are trying to hard to block this. Sign the petition today and tell John Healey to #TaxtheBanks!

North West 🏴 Scotland may have the lowest population density in a country with the lowest population density in Europe, and rocks that are the oldest on Earth - but it's major town Ullapool (pop. 1,700) still enjoys 100Mbs+ 5G and some quite excellent restaurants.

“We're not hanging around for another decade of broken Brexit Britain.”
Scotland shouldn't have to wait another ten years for change. The ambition is to build an independent Scotland, back in the EU and making its own decisions.
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.
Nope, no thanks Andy. We've heard aw that shite fae Broon & his pish Super Duper Devolution lies. I think we're done listening and we'll just take oor leave noo. Byeee

Good, foreign interference in our democracy affects us all. While we're at it, can we get Westminster parties to stop interfering in Scottish democracy?

“Strong psychological defence rests on an independent media, a mutually trusting society and a well-informed population.”
UK Gov will never go for that 😂
Chants of 'Don't protect the women, we can fight. We don't need your fascist shite' rang out in Glasgow tonight. As anti-fascists, women's rights groups and trade unionists protested against 'patriot platform' and their supporters pushing their racist agenda in the city.

A good message for Shouty Russell Findlay and the rest of the "Scottish" Tories currently on a mission to demonise and denigrate Scottish benefit claimants...
