Good news! Statistics from NHS Education for Scotland follow figures last week showing the number of GPs in Scotland continues to rise with an increase of 171 over the past year.

He's hiding the Epstein files for the same reason he hides his medical records and jobs reports. And it's not because they make him look good.

We’re not going anywhere until the vile unnecessary ‘Guga hunt’ is ended for good.

The industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie was born on this day in 1835. Carnegie funded 3000 libraries around the world. We'd all have been a lot stupider without him. Here's what I wrote about him in 'Cool Scots'. gregmoodie.com/product/cool...

This time, it's not fecking sheep. It's fecking Labour.

what do rich people do with their money? they hide it in tax free islands in the caribbean where it does no one any good at all. what does everyone else do with their money? spend it, into the economy where it goes round supporting shopkeepers, businesses, suppliers and services.

Anas Sarwar can’t decide if he’s for or against the two-child cap - we’re scrapping it in Scotland next March. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dounreay nuclear power station last produced electricity 30+ years ago, yet decontamination is expected to last until the 2070s and cost £8Bn, with full decontamination of the site estimated to take more than 300 years. Now Westminster wants to build *more* nuclear power stations in Scotland.

when you think Labour have reached the bottom of the barrel, the scrape away at it, and find another level.

I asked google: Are there agreements between Scandinavian countries on areas of mutual interest? Because it's entirely probable that an independent Scotland, Wales & a united Ireland would do the same #independence is not 'separation' but a new better co-operative reality for all

Independence is FOR something, it's not just an end point, an end in itself but a beginning of self government to raise ourselves up and away from the dead hand of Westminster #independence.

No country can reach it's full potential while it's neighbour holds most of the fiscal powers over it,while it's neighbour can prevent it from doing anything it wants by invoking a S35 and while it's neighbour takes it's resources and keeps the taxes from it for itself.Only independence does that.

Keith Brown speech beginning 8.48 to 14.12 reminding us that if same % as voted 1 &2 in 2011 had voted 1 & 2 in 2021, SNP would've won a majority. Also Ann Faulds at 1:21:00 to 1:24:22 laying out the legal reasons for 1 and 2. #SNPConference www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnJm...

a few weeks ago, there was a heavy shower of rain, and I was astonished to see a pigeon on my shed roof, raising each wing in turn and facing into the rain to wash it's underwing oxters! Never underestimate a pigeon, exemplary hygiene. #BirdsOfBluesky #Birds #Ornothology

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

quick trip to RSPB Loch Leven. A shy red squirrel, a wood brown butterfly and thousands of pink-footed geese. A fantastic autumn spectacle. Photos don't do it justice, and the sound of their arrivals.. Amazing. #birdsofbluesky #birds #ornothology

Why would anyone want to give Farage's Reform any power? It's poison.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Don’t hold back Stephen🫣 Well done, yet again !

With their limited powers and finance the @snp.org Scottish Government step in to save jobs in Falkirk 👏 news.stv.tv/scotland/ale...

Brexit was the visible start of the decline of the UK State to today's moral vacuums in both traditional parties of government. The only way to stop Farage from sweeping up from a cynical population is to introduce Proportional Representation which would At A Stroke, stop Farage from winning.

While Westminster is in chaos, your SNP Scottish Government is delivering progress. ✅ Cheaper rail fares ✅ More NHS operations ✅ More GPs and paramedics ✅ Funding to build 36,000 more affordable homes. ✅ Measures against the genocide in Gaza. And that’s just this week alone. Join us: snp.org/join

Labour politicians, just like conservative politicians. Always on the take. Scotland, let's go and leave them to it.

This is a LABOUR MINISTER. If this was an SNP member the article would say & the outrage would cause another trench in the Ocean 🙄 Homelessness minister Rushanara Ali 'kicked out tenants from east London townhouse and raised rent by £700' | The Standard www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

👀 Labour probably don’t want you to hear this, but have you heard about the good news from Scotland this week?

Our ospreys had quite a rough time during #StormFloris but thankfully all came through unscathed. We hope you did too. Here is Darach hinging on for dear life!😬 He is only ten weeks old.😲 #ArkaigOspreys #Ospreycam #Floris #Storm

Please support this petition to the ScotGov arms length dept NatureScot to end the gannet killing in the name of 'tradition'. The islanders don't need them for winter food anymore. No more licences, the seabirds need protection and support. protectthewild.org.uk/gannet-petit...

In case anyone from USA doesn't understand why Scotland doesn't like Trump... and this was way back around 2006. You hurt one of us, you hurt all of us.

Breac the osprey took his first flight today! The first of our pair to fledge.❤️ Until this moment his world was the width of a double bed. Now he has a vast landscape for a playground and in a few weeks he will cross continents. Amazing! Watch all the nest action live.👉 buff.ly/igKzlCA

Excellent NHS care, delivered at home. We're expanding Hospital at Home to 2,000 beds by the end of 2026 - watch this to find out how it will help ease pressure on the NHS and cut waiting lists. 👇

God it's tempting to defend the BBC. Then I remember how much of a corrupting presence they are looming over Scottish politics, how they continually pander to the right, how they headline whatever unionist bullshit they are handed and how they disgraced themselves during covid. Then I think fuck em.

cheeky wee boat trip to the Bass Rock today. The gannets are amazing with their 6ft wing span. North Atlantic Gannets #BirdsOfBlueSky #Birds #Ornothology

It is against international law to attack another nation for something you think they MAY do in the future. Yes we all know what I'm talking about, but it appears international law has been ditched, which leaves the world in a new situation we've not experienced since before WWi.

We should Barnet-ise the consequentials here and demand England gives us £4bn in compensation for the disaster they foisted on us. With a grovelling apology, written out properly in a nice card.

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.
