Yes, we need immigrants and should be welcoming them, not stirring up hate and creating an ever more hostile environment. London parties please take note. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Why am I not surprised this is happening

This morning I saw my first daffodils of the year in Victoria Park in Glasgow. It might seem unlikely, but today's popularity of these Spring blooms is all down to a man from Govan called Peter Barr. Cont./ #glasgow #victoriapark #daffodil #spring #daffodilking

Investigations into allegations of poor fish welfare at salmon farms by the UK Animal and Plant Health Agency have risen by more than ten times in six years, while site inspections have decreased https://www.theferret.scot/weak-salmon-farm-watchdog-100-investigations-and-just-two-warning-letters/

Hines: I handled human trafficking cases all over Southeast Michigan. I believe survivors deserve justice, no matter who the accused is. Accountability cannot depend on whether someone is powerful, wealthy, or politically connected.

French owned Somerset nuclear power station delayed by 13 years with construction costs soaring from £18bn to more than £50bn and to produce electricity costing more than 3 times that of wind power 👇 talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/02/20/f...

I'd like to personally apologise to Nigel Farage for this post. According to the Guardian he Farage reportedly travelled by private jet to the Maldives where he spent just over a day before heading back to the UK. So no business class seats were bought. So sorry.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Exactly this

"We produce oil but have no refinery. We produce electricity but make no money from it. We have ports but cannot trade from them. Would it be because we let another country dictate the rules? Time for Independence." Wee Nell, Bluesky #Scotland #Holyrood26

“People who were 15 at the time of the referendum, and couldn’t vote, are now 26. How old do they have to be before they are able to decide the future of their country?” #Scotland #Holyrood26 #SNP1SGP2 indyposterboy.scot/right-to-dec...

Don’t be hoodwinked Scotland, all of the BritNat parties will remove the NHS. We need #Independence now.

Here I am having a holiday while lying about the government stopping me going to the Chagos Islands, where nobody can go without a permit. Still, who needs facts when your followers are thick and gullible?

Our Scottish NHS is wonderful. It's been cradle to grave for my family. It's saved my life 3 times, saved my bairn once, gave my Dad extra years. All free at point of access. No WAY we should hand it over to an English registered and funded political party, LOOK at what they've done to England's.

Sounds like Scotland. Don't throw it away in May #VoteSNP

Families in Scotland are saving thousands of pounds thanks to SNP policies like free personal care - for older people and anyone who needs it. While Labour preside over rising bills and broken promises, the SNP government is delivering the best cost of living support anywhere in the UK.

Sooo Starmer 'gave?' us GB energy, allegedly. Now Badenoch 'promises ' Scotland will be at the heart of energy industry. I mean come on, how many time's are ppl going to listen to this BS lies, the same lies from 2 different WM parties.

A short overview of how Peter Thiel and Palantir have been systematically weaponizing your data. Against you.

If you ever find yourself wondering how things like the Epstein story happened, consider the mid-level newspaper editor who admitted in a public judicial inquiry that he destroyed a woman’s life and drove her to suicide to try and impress Piers Morgan.

Orbrex was a small start up space company with a very promising future It was based in the Highlands and had secured business with the EPA to launch satellites The UK Gov had initially promised funding for the project but failed to follow through Every time Scotland seems to get ahead in technology/

Wait a minute.... John Swinney gets a memo on Murrell - treachery and corruption. Home office gets a heads up on Andrew - standard procedure. I'm not SNP but the double standards are astonishing if not unexpected

Thatcher using the proceeds of the North Sea oil to pay for a bunch of middle-class tax cuts, instead of investing in a sovereign wealth fund, was one of the biggest dick moves ever made, on behalf of the people of the UK.

That’s an absolutely staggering difference

Now America... get Trump. #Epstein #TrumpIsInTheFiles #AndrewMountbattenWindsor

Surprise, surprise. The amount of 'good, positive' news they are ignoring at the moment is absolutely shameful. National broadcaster my arse. 👍 MAY 7TH 2026 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿SNP1 Green2🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Gordon Brown says he sent “new and additional” information on Andrew to police. How did he have information not available to police though? Via @skwawkbox.org

'Oh Me Polls are tanking' Findlay & Sarwar are really trying to scoop the bottom of the barrel & using the platform of Holyrood to smear John Swinney🙄 So that was their electionering hope, that a Trial would come to their rescue rather than the substance of their policies Says it all.

‼️ BRING IT ALL DOWN ‼️ Arrest Mandelson, Arrest Starmer, Arrest McSweeney, Arrest Gove, Arrest Farage & Johnson. Investigate the BBC FFS. They're the organisation at the Heart of Everything. Sex Predators, Criminals, Corruption, Money Laundering, Treason. BBC Cover it all up.

Forget nonces arrested m on their Birthday. This story is far more significant Farage wants power Bannon wants Farage in power.

Just noting that, other than Epstein / Maxwell*, those apprehended so far have all been arrested for crimes against countries / governments, & not against the actual victims, the girls & women abused. Kind of instructive really. *while Trump’s regime seem determined to downgrade her penalties.

BBC Scotland-Bad-uk-Good is blaming scotgov for the global shortage of Co-Codamol... anything to discredit SNHS and Holyrood in the run up to HR26 Surprised they haven't blamed SNP for the current weather 🙉🙈🙊🤐

After paying £600M to close Scotland's only oil refinery, resulting in the failure of the Mossmorran Petrol chemical works, Westminster has withheld £100M from one of Scotland's Space launch companies (Orbex) money supplied by ESA putting the Saxavord space centre at risk🤬😡 youtu.be/LHI6VbcrlLc?...

Charlie Stayt, "Have you suffered discrimination?" Robert Jenrick, "No" Charlie Stayt, "Have others used the Equality Act to protect themselves?" Robert Jenrick, "I don't think that's right" Charlie Stayt, "So there would be no one who benefited from those laws?" Robert Jenrick, "No"

Alternatively ‘Head of @COPFS complies to the letter with important Crown office Standards of Service for Victims & Witnesses policy document and Victims etc Act 2014 - by advising victim of crime of an important procedural step in the progress of the prosecution’. Don’t read the Sun #bothvotessnp

Just been for my routine mammogram at a mobile centre parked at the Community Hospital site five minutes from my house. Saved me a 26 mile round trip for a 5 min appointment. Thank you #SNHS

We should email Martin Belam at [email protected] to correct this nonsense. Every constituency in Scotland voted Remain. Sure, you can pick an arbitrary area that voted Leave but in terms of how the votes worked that is simply downright dishonesty.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Scottish figures, to understand employment issues in Scotland. To know they're different & be able to have sensible discussions on managing them in a Scottish context? The data exists, but we're not served by a media that cares, except when Scottish stats are worse.
