The BBC in Scotland is getting increasingly bizarre. 38% in Scotland voted to leave the EU. This is what the public national broadcaster we're forced to pay for says about that, whilst confronting SNP MSP Rhona Mackay. (video: MSM Monitor)

This blatant lie shpuld be called out instantly. Shame we no longer have proper journalists anymore to call it out.

In the last few years, trans people are experiencing more and more hate from prejudiced strangers northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

A Fresh Start with Independence What would Scotland’s currency be? On independence, Scotland would continue to use the pound sterling for a period, before moving to the Scottish pound. The change to the Scottish pound would take place as soon as practicable. www.gov.scot/publications...

So, Starmer is going to be visiting Scotland more often in the months leading up to GE2026. Maybe the media could get off their arses and ask him these questions.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Our children are our future. The Scottish Government's 'Scottish Child Payment' has made a huge difference to families here. They can do so much better with independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5). An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 (🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

There really *is* no UK. There is a discontented group of countries dominated by the biggest member that regards the others at best as an afterthought, but more often as unimportant backwater regions of greater England. That attitude by politician & media is pushing the break-up of the 'UK' along.

I'm just trying to imagine the response if any country other than Israel held 497 citizens from 44 countries. It wouldn't be silence would it?

Take a breath for a minute and ask yourself what has Jeff Bezos done with all his money? Has he built a university, a hospital, or done anything to better anyone else's lives apart from those of his wealthy and powerful associates? Don't Buy From Amazon! The same items are often cheaper on eBay

I’m in Mexico for my annual trip to the sangha (Buddhist community). Last night I stayed in this wee hotel near the airport

Stop the Yachts.

Brian knows, or *should* know as a politician, that the UK and EU unions are very different things indeed. Methinks he is pretending ignorance in the hope he can con you. Don't be conned.

Man of the people 🤣🤣🤣

Morning Bluesky. Spain has blocked US planes and ships carrying weapons to Israel from stopping at bases in Cádiz and Seville.

🇬🇧This is a “British Labour in Scotland” candidate for HR2026 “SHUT UP SCOTLAND ! YOU HAD YOUR DEMOCRACY, NOW GET BACK IN YOUR BOX”

The Guardian, as usual is missing crucial differences between the EU’s ID cards and Starmer’s proposed Brit card, why? Because they are shockingly ill-informed. Thread www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Earlier this year I spent several days in the largest Muslim majority city in the world. Not once did I feel unsafe or have anyone telling me to behave a certain way. Did eat some great food though.

I’m not It isn’t. It should be, but you’re working very hard to ensure it isn’t.

Politics is about choices - and I will always choose to lift children out of poverty. This is our national mission for Scotland.

In case facts still matter…

Excellent

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

She's at it again, folks.

Had the BEST day in Glasgow. Yes, it was a grey dreich day. Yes, Glasgow looks a wee bit raw and scruffy and frayed about the edges. But it is my beloved Glasgow. And its increasing and beautiful diversity makes my heart sing ♥️ Power to the anti-racism protesters out in force today ❤️ #❤️Glasgow

The 'chaos' of Labour infighting has reached north of the Border, the SNP have said, after a senior Scottish Labour MSP appeared to back Andy Burnham as Prime Minister over Keir Starmer

I'll let you decide about Scotland.. Determining if a country is a colony from the perspective of the average person, often boils down to a few key descriptive tenets. These aren't formal academic definitions, but rather the visible, everyday signs to suggest a nation's lack of full sovereignty: 1/

Brilliant afternoon at Celtic the Musical. 🎶 Hail Hail

I’m at the Pavilion to see Celtic the Musical. Saw it last year. Looking forward to seeing it again

DRoss really is a wee bullying nyaff. He’s now going to report Jamie Hepburn to the police. He should be embarrassed

In other words, 94% of those killed in Gaza since March 25 were civilians - up from 83% in the first 1.5 years of this genocidal war. Another symptom of stage 2 of the Gaza Genocide under Trump: fewer casualties so far, but targeting almost entirely civilians. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

It is pointless and a waste of energy to call for devolution of broadcasting as no Westminster government will ever agree to it. That does not mean we should do nothing - we can take matters into our own hands and fund an independent Scottish broadcaster. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

DRoss is crowing about Jamie Hepburn resigning - though he’s making out Hepburn was sacked. Bullies just can’t help themselves. (Just to be clear, I don’t mean Hepburn is the bully)

Douglas Ross, the Scottish man-baby has no shame. What a cowardly little man. “Grow up” should have been the response to his school-boy snivelling. We really need ……. #ScottishIndependence
