It's so convenient to have a scapegoat, isn't it? Instead of fixing the real issues like the NHS and housing, let's just blame migrants.

The pursuit of Scottish independence is not merely a political campaign, but a fundamental reassessment of sovereignty, identity, and the right to self-determination in a post-British era.

Desi is right. Apathy is the worst enemy of independence. It's the biggest weapon the unionists can hope for - and they have no control over it.

As a Scot, this Brexit madness cost us £65M just in food certificates—a disaster we didn't vote for. Time to reclaim our future.

"As the Trump 2.0 regime has already demonstrated, it’s dangerous when a dictator begins to confuse his own idiosyncratic (and often performatively sadistic) fantasies with the desires of the public at large. Indeed, it can be downright dystopian." —

Let’s be clear - a genocide is unfolding in Gaza as a result of Israel’s actions. We all have a moral and legal responsibility to act, and Scotland will play its part. Today I have set out a range of diplomatic, economic and humanitarian measures. Read below for more. 🧵

Energy bills are already too high - yet under Labour, they’re going up again. They promised lower bills, but today’s hike means bills are £187 higher since they took office. In energy-rich Scotland, this is indefensible. Only independence can deliver lower bills for good.
