Far from cutting energy bills as they promised, the Labour government is hiking the bills of Scots to pay for nuclear plants in England. In Scotland, we have vast renewable resources - and with the powers of independence, we can use them to lower bills.

I’m watching Highlander again. Stupefyingly good - and I should have been in it…thanks mum!!! 🙄

It’s bothering me I don’t have a photograph with everyone I’ve ever met. I’m actually pissed off I didn’t think about doing this when I bought my first camera, at a jumble sale, 50 years ago. Idiot.

Quite the foolish thing to say! Who wants nuclear in their gardens?

If you’d like to know what it’s like 35minutes after taking acid, then this addresses your curiosity.

Harr, harr, harr.

My grandson thinks I’m a Wizard. Why? He found my staff.

Digestive biscuit packets fit inside Pringles tubes. Stay fresh people!

Personally, I'm not bothered about an extra £10k @johnswinney.bsky.social I would rather that my country was free & Independent first & foremost. We can enjoy the other obvious benefits properly once we untangle ourselves from this unequal & unholy alliance that is the UK. To me that is worth more.

With five parties on double digits, the first-past-the-post voting system makes a complete mockery of any semblance of a fair elections. It’s way past-time to make seats match votes and GET PR DONE Graphic via @joshhousden.bsky.social #getPRdone #MakeSeatsMatchVotes #ProportionalRepresentation

Go John Swinney, let's get down and dirty with the opposition, don't kid yourself, they will do it to you.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long. There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

My latest blog post, Scotland stands at a fork in the road, democracy and decency with independence or impoverishment and authoritarianism in the UK. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/10/08/t...

HR26: vote SNP 1 and Scottish Greens 2 for an Indy majority Vote sensibly not loyally 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Standing Charge has increased so much that even if you use no electricity at all you are now being charged as much you were for using 3kwh's per day in 2021. It is blatant theft.

Clean feet.

YOU MEAN ENGLAND ITS ENGLAND YOU MEAN AND 'THE LITTLE CITY OF LONDON' That place which is outside of 'UK' law but has an unelected representative in parliament.

This is a rad song called “LET’S STEAL THE (EPSTEIN) FILES.” I’m pretty sure it’s meant for the ears of FBI agents, in search of one that might want to be a superhero.🦸 Disclaimer: This is for entertainment purposes only lol.🤭 Part 1 of 2

The SNP brought ScotRail back into public ownership - and now it’s the best performing rail service in the UK. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚂

I’ll avoid the digital #britcard for as long as I can, and go as far as rescinding my passport and going full on analogue in order to do so.

🇬🇧 If Starmer is going to call this compulsory digital ID “britcard”, then he can go and take a flying f*ck to himself I may be many things, but I will NEVER be a “brit” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 inews.co.uk/news/politic...

We're used to seeing Labour in third place in Scotland, bit what's interesting in this new poll is seeing how much the Scottish Greens have gone up on the list vote. They're matching Labour in third and not far off Reform in second. How good would an SNP 1, Greens 2 in vote share be.

@discogsofficial.bsky.social Yeah this is great, but how about debugging the app so I can add to my collection. Whatever you did to ‘improve’ the app ain’t working. Fix it or I’m off!

Beautiful sunset tonight.

Spectacular!

Honestly, I can’t leave my sons alone for a second without them recreating a Duran Duran video.

Tomorrow's front page: GAZA IS BURNING - Starmer slammed as UN probe confirms genocide

State visit for a convicted rapist US President coupled by Israel committing genocide (remember “never again”?)… my grandparents wouldn’t believe this shit. Carl Sagan predicted such shifts towards global insanity in the early 90s. He saw it coming and not one person took him seriously. NO ONE!

Today a UN Commission found: “Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, have incited the commission of genocide.” And he was welcomed to London like a King. Fuck Keir Starmer.

It was a scream working there. 40 years ago though! Jeezo.

Lower Largo beach this morning was reasonably busy, honest!

Douglas Alexander’s criticism of FM’s visit to Washington to lobby on Scotch tariffs is typical of Westminster’s “get back in your box, know your place, we know best” attitude. Tends to annoy people up here, Dougie. Must try harder.

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.” If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

I have a daughter and three sons. We all have different things in common, and what I share with my youngest son is our similar taste in music. He sends me stuff, and I reciprocate. This came today. Wonderful. youtu.be/m56H4E5bZLk?...

Gradually shifting 900 records to the new place. Also, we’re painting the newly exposed fence.

JK Rowling is threatening to sue our founder Jo Maugham unless we back down. We look forward to seeing them in court.

Instead of delivering support on the cost of living, Westminster is busy demonising people who seek sanctuary. I will have no part in it. Our Saltire is a flag of welcome - and refugees are welcome here in Scotland.

Meanwhile Real politics from a powerful Strong Proud Nation #FreeScotland

Scotland’s vast energy resources should be in Scotland’s hands, so we can deliver lower bills for people and businesses.

🧵 People across Scotland are struggling - money is tight, bills are up, and hope can feel in short supply.

My job is to focus on your priorities, deliver real action on the cost of living, and offer hope for a better future.

Short thread on how we will do that. 👇

I am proud of this flag. It is one of the oldest in the world, it stands for a warm, open, welcoming country. It says, come on in, the kettles on. It says let's be friends, family, let's enrich our cultures, lets learn and grow together. It does NOT stand for hate. #ScottishIndependence

Hey, BBC Scotland, it’s LABOUR MSP Colin Smyth who is up on charges for possessing indecent images and surreptitiously recording other MSPs taking a piss. Cheers.

🚂Peak rail fares are being scrapped in Scotland from Monday. The SNP Scottish Government is delivering policies that save people and businesses money, encourage mobility, and help tackle the climate crisis.

There is no longer any argument against Scottish Independence.

Via SNP: "The SNP has hailed the benefits of public ownership of essential services...Earlier this year, Scotrail was ranked the best large rail network operator in the UK by passengers. A survey showed customer satisfaction levels have risen from 67% to 91% since coming into public ownership" (1/2)
