Reform are driving hate and division in our communities. We can't allow that to happen. Life has become much harder for many folks across Scotland. But the scapegoating and false promises from a millionaire-backed party will change nothing for the better.

Its like Trump and Netanyahu with Trump pretending to be occasionally annoyed with the Genocidal Lunatic then giving him everything he wants and some more on top.

Braw.

bsky.app/profile/ball... Looks like a bit of a wash of the SNP, they might swap a constituency seat for a list on in the North East and lose a list seat to the Greens in Fife but it's all pretty meh for them. Tory->Reform is the big change

Scottish politics nerds - which list regions are the SNP forecast to retain or gain seats?

We are still £1500 short of the £3k we need for the deposit on our new studio lease and very far short of our £30k target to cover the costs of the move. Please donate whatever you can afford.

If you are heading for the hills (and can get there on the snowy roads!) be sure to always check the Scottish Avalanche Information Service. There's tons of unstable powder snow in many areas - always a good time to remember to be avalanche aware. www.sais.gov.uk

Apparently too, according to what I was hearing this-morning, it's all the SNP's fault as they haven't brought the army in to rescue the situation. The army and it's resources are a reserved matter so he would have to go to WM and depend on their goodwill to achieve that - if they choose to.

My latest blog piece, Anas Sarwar's newly found 'tough' stance on Starmer is a fake rebellion from a fake party, agreed with Starmer in an attempt to shore up Labour's crumbling support ahead of the Scottish elections in May weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/01/07/a...

In the words of Annie Lennox - who am I to disagree?

And it's Alexander the Westminster MP who will really be in charge of the British Labour Party's election campaign this May

When will people realise that the UK Labour party (and I include "Scottish" Labour in that) are basically an English national party. They are only interested in the prosperity of England. Scotland, Wales & NI are just afterthoughts.

Scotland Office ministers ALL stayed silent on the nation's share of a £360 million fund for the fishing industry before an announcement that sparked outrage north of the Border, The National can reveal

Scottish Labour MPs have been branded 'idiots' by their colleagues south of the Border as tensions between Holyrood and Westminster increase. Senior party sources in Westminster have also called the Scottish representatives 'hypocrites' after they were accused of plotting to oust Keir Starmer

🥀 Labour promised change, but they are just delivering more of the same.

Living standards in the UK are flat as a pancake and Westminster governments seem unable and unwilling to address that. Independence is about having the full powers to tackle the cost of living crisis - and it’s for people in Scotland to decide.
