Finland the happiest country on the planet, bans for profit schools, taxes billionaires, houses the homeless. Time to do the same.

Next time we go to a World Cup can we have these please and be a proper nation like all the other Independent participants? Then we really can support our team & our country.

10 years on, Brexit has been a total disaster for Scotland.

😂 backfire bigtime A Labour bid to force an inquiry into the SNP has failed Instead, an investigation is set to be launched into the funding of ALL Scottish political parties www.thenational.scot/news/2618403... 👇

Britain should demand the extradition of Elon Musk for incitement, prosecute him, jail him, seize any assets he has in Britain, deport him once he’s served his jail time and prohibit him from doing business in the UK until the day he dies

Absolutely despicable stuff from Thomas Kerr - frankly somehow worse for the fact that he was not really a Reform True Believer but instead an opportunistic defector, now just outright pouring fuel on the fire. In effect, "Don't be violent but do go out and join the racist mobs who did the violence"

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

Extremism fuelled by X, Urged by Elon Musk, Funded by secret crypto-backers Incited by Farage and Tice, Rage-baited Robinson, Enabled by a supine, breathless media, And allowed by a paralysed Labour Government.

Ross Greer is absolutely right! “Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.” Greer added: “The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners.”

Convictions for far right terrorism and incidents, are far higher than convictions for any other terror incidents in this country, but if we only ever listen to politicians, mainstream media and right wing pundits, we would never know.

There's no greater proof of the need for independence than Westminster refusing to 'let' Scotland have a democratic vote on it. indyposterboy.scot/undemocratic...

……The accuracy of these figure should be 16.2% in 🇬🇧 1, 16.3% 2 Wales 3 10.2% in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 BUT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 drives the UK figure; regional highs in London (24.9%), Yorkshire & Humber (17.6%), North East (17.2%). England overall is slightly above the UK average…”

It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate interests are buying access to the Government via the Tony Blair Institute. My letter to the cabinet office. 👇🏼

@snp.org do not accept donations from billionaires or companies hoping to influence their policies only from their members. This is the difference and one of the reasons the Unionist parties are on the attack about Murrel’s conviction as they can’t say the same and are in the pockets of big money!

100% agree with this

My latest blog post, Branchform is over and the SNP is still standing despite media attempts to smear the victims of a crime as the perpetrators. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/05/25/b...

I am terribly saddened to hear the news that Scott Hastings has died. One of Scotland’s finest rugby players, Scott was an example to all of outstanding sportsmanship. I always felt such joy when I met him at Murrayfield. My deepest sympathy to his family. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

For swearing in of MSPs, first John Swinney - who adds an SNP proviso before his oath about SNP allegiance to people of Scotland who are sovereign. Second, Malcolm Offord. Third, Anas Sarwar. Ross Greer also adds proviso for Greens ultimately to people of Scotland, "not king or crown", before oath

The Scottish voting system is DESIGNED to stop any one Party from being in Control. It CAN'T get much better! 2011 was as good as it gets. End this nonsense. Independent Scotland will be one of the Richest Countries in Europe. Hurry up.

This IS our Indyref mandate, as it’s by far the greatest victory for independence parties at Holyrood The SNP won more seats than ALL the ‘Unionist Alliance’ parties combined On top of this, an additional 15 Indy seats were won by the Scottish Greens This is Scotland’s mandate, get Indyref done💪

Independence MSP's 1999 - 36 2003 - 34 2007 - 49 2011 - 71 2016 - 69 2021 - 72 2026 - 73 SNP has won 5 Holyrood elections in a row, Labour had their worst ever election & Tories fell to 4th. Independence MSP's have been the majority since 2011. If that's not a mandate what is?

100’s of thousands of @snp.org list votes counted for nothing but the positives are a majority of SNP MSP’s over unionist MSP’s by 2 if we discount the @scottishgreens.org and a large pro Indy majority across the parliament. That’s a mandate for a referendum as far as I’m concerned.

The Scottish people have spoken … and now Westminster will ignore our voice A pro-independence majority will be elected once again in the Scottish Parliament. And once again, London will deny a referendum This is a democratic outrage and it must be resisted My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

Yes, but it would have been even more effective if more of the 2 votes SNP crowd, had voted SNP1, SG2.

The SNP has won 877,077 constituency votes and 589,843 regional votes - by far the highest totals in Scotland - yet appears to have won ZERO regional seats (so far). Reform UK has 365,231 regional votes and 15 list seats. At some point the SNP needs to confront how AMS functions in practice.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland can show 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England how to eliminate Reform in its election today. If a large proportion of the 55% of Scots who want to be independent vote 🟨 SNP1 (Const'cy) & 🟩 Green2 (List) – this will secure a solid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿indy majority AND gub Farage's ReformUK. Just Do It Scotland !! #VoteSNP1SGP2 ‼️‼️

Please help get our campaign message out.

BEFORE the 2014 independence referendum, the pro-Union Better Together campaign made a list of promises to the Scottish people. This is what we DID'NT get for staying in this union of unequals. Here is a full list of 10 promises that have been broken since. www.thenational.scot/news/2607701...

If supporters of #ScottishIndependence vote #SNP1SGP2 we will have a large majority of Independence supporting MSP’s it’s that simple. Anything else helps the Unionists in particular Reform. We need to get smart and play the system to send a strong message to Westminster and the rest of the world.

Good read ⬇️

Labour is trying to spin the Sarwar/Offord story as the SNP choosing to believe Offord over Sarwar, but that's not right, it's a matter of believing numerous press reports, including one from the Labour supporting Daily Record, over Sarwar. Offord merely confirmed what was reported elsewhere.

I fully understand why @snp.org promote #BothVotesSNP which is the right vote in a couple of regions and their rules stop them from promoting other parties in elections. For the majority of Indy supporters it has to be #SNP1SGP2 to maximise the number of Indy supporting MSP’s and stop the unionists.

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates). She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger. She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked. Horrible.

New Zealand’s Cook Strait Ferries – unreliability alarms international tour operators in sharp contrast to Scotland’s island tourism surge ignoring media ferry frenzy talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/04/16/n...

Any society that denies medical treatment because of a lack of money is sick and unfit to be considered civilised. This is the US and what the verminous Farage wants for the UK.

Isle of Wight ferries – breakdowns, cancellations, rocketing prices, THREE times the cost of the Oban to Mull crossing and unfair taxation compared to Scotland talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/04/16/i...

Sometimes people in England sneering at Scots moaning about Westminster's failings and its contempt for Scotland simply don't understand where we're coming from.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

You had me at ScotWind Wealth Fund. You lost me at both votes SNP. Has to be SNP 1 Green 2. I know you can't say that but you know that and we know you know that. Get the mandate. #IndyRef2

Poll Analysis: YouGov MRP 23rd of March - 8th of April 2026 (finally caught up!) Holyrood Seats Projection: SNP ~ 64 Reform ~ 20 Labour ~ 15 Green ~ 13 Lib Dem ~ 10 Conservative ~ 7 Note: These figures differ substantially from YouGov's own, and I remain slightly funny on MRPs generally

For an Indy majority and to keep Deform UK off the List vote SNP 1 and Scottish Greens 2...deny Yoonies in the back door 2021 both votes got FPTP: SNP 84.9% CON 6.9% LAB 2.7% 2021 both votes got List: SNP 3.6% CON 46.4% LAB 35.7% Vote sensibly not loyally 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

No, you're not. No, You can't. No, it's reserved. No, it's devolved but we've overruled it. Enough. It's time for 'Yes we can'. #Scotland #SNP1SGP2

Every day I'm setting out my plan to end rip-off Britain and take back our power and wealth from those who have stolen it. Here's today's Sun front page. The Murdoch empire is terrified.
