REFORM - leading in the polls - charges prospective candidates £125 to apply to run as an MP - before selecting a GB News host who is a colleague of the party leader and one of his MPs to run instead. You'd honestly think this was newsworthy. But apparently not.

John Swinney emphasises crucial need for independent Scotland to be in EU (though I hope Ukraine is the EU's next member). The big challenge for iScotland, given our increasingly unstable world, would be how to stay secure in period between leaving UK & joining EU. www.gov.scot/publications...

Scotland, in 2026 is better, in every way shape and form. Independent Scotland will be one of the best Countries in Europe.

Labour left Glasgow broke & broken. Labour UK Govt did nothing to help our City. The incompetent Labour PFI policy means that Glasgow has to pay £93m each year in PFI interest payments to London-based Financiers. Yes lots needs done in Glasgow, but Labour has left us broke. x.com/theindypoet/...

This is what they think of us, our culture and traditions! An unopened tin of Irn-Bru, a Tunnocks selection and a cheese roll staged in front of a backdrop showing an oil pipeline alongside a disinterested and vacant Starmer. Patronising and taunting. This fake Union is over. #ScottishIndependence

Farage has lined up a bunch of Tory retreads to fill his party ranks. Reform is not about a reformation of society, it’s about the right wing British elitists maintaining control. It’s time to say no to the same old nonsense - it’s time for a fresh start with independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nothing more to be said…

Perhaps it’s just me but this appears to be very desperate points scoring by Sarwar, when the woman whose daughter died said, “We don’t actually know who applied pressure, it’s really not for me to say.” NS “That is why the independent public inquiry was established while I was first minister.”

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Nigel Farage’s trip to Davos hosted and paid for by family trust of billionaire

Carole Cadwalladr, "He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure" "He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right" "What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

Baillie claims £41.000 in expenses and crititised SNP MSPs for much lower expenses £9.565 in hotels? Something doesnt add up however do the right thing and oust Baillie on 7th May as liars dont deserve anybodys vote 👇

@skynewsrss.bsky.social there with two tragic stories about enquiries into health service failings but only the Scottish one becomes a platform for criticism of the government and specific politicians in the context of this year's election #scottishindependence and a genuine Scottish media

🇨🇦 WATCH 👀 “Now Canada can’t solve all the world’s problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn’t destined to be warped towards authoritarianism and exclusion - it can still bend towards progress and justice.” 👉Mark Carney 👏 1/2

His name is Leon. ICE kidnapped him. Alone.

Gavin Newsom is hitting it out of the park at Davos

Europe took on Trump — and won. Total surrender by Trump after he humiliated himself and the nation on the world stage.

Brian Eno: anyone who'd leave the UK because they have to pay a bit more tax arent the least community minded Lord Bethell: "but they are the wealth creators" "They're not the wealth creators. The wealth creators are the people who make things.. who keep society running" Well said Brian!

Tom Hunter's at it again. We wonder who his friends are and where they went? Presumably they went to live in other parts of the UK so they could buy a more expensive house, pay for prescriptions, pay higher council tax and have their children pay huge university tuition fees. 👇

All the decent people are horrified. All the racists are delighted. Farage has modelled his own brutalising and ruinous immigration policy on Trump’s fascism. “Operation Restoring Justice. Detect. Detain. Deport” FGS UK. Do not submit to this horror. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The leader of the only country that has ever invoked NATO Article 5 (Afghanistan) and every European country came to help, tells the leaders of these countries, that THEY would not come to help, because they never did. OBLIVIOUS to history!!

This fat simpleton claims "NATO has done nothing for us." After 9/11, nearly all NATO, plus some partners, deployed troops to Afghanistan. The UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Canada sent the most troops. Denmark suffered the highest per capita casualty rate of any NATO ally in Afghanistan.

Why us Gove not in jail for defying a court orders to release his 'state of the union' report in Scotland? And why have Labour not released it since Scotland is the beating heart of the union?

The Janus face of 'Scottish' Labour. Sarwar on the sovereignty of Greenland - "Donald Trump should respect the people of Greenland's view of their own future". Yet in front of 'Scotland's Choice' Sarwar denies 'Scotland's Choice' to choose our future via the ballot box. See the sickening hypocrisy?

Is this the same Putin that's such a danger to the world that Trump needs to take Greenland and risk destroying NATO? THAT Putin??

Nothing isolates the moronic phantasmagoria of dictatorial LITTLE MEN, than the ghastly proposal for a ‘Board of Peace,’ and its roll-call of psychopaths. Trump,Putin,Blair,Lukashenko, Orban, a complete catalogue of the WORST of humanity and the LEAST to do with GAZA. None have any rights in GAZA.

An independent Scotland should follow the Nordic model in all of these areas. #ScottishIndependence

Still not get how weak ajd pathetic starver is? Why are the msm allowing him to lie about their being a ceasefire? Fk the very single person who votes reform, red or blue tories. Shame on you all

Don’t know who made this but….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

In Scotland, the SNP & the Greens don't get corporate donations & are massively out-spent by anti-indy parties who do receive them. The media is overwhelmingly anti-independence, yet Scots keep electing a pro-indy majority to Holyrood. Just think what we could achieve with a level playing field.

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. Today that deal has been broken by the USA. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Must watch for all independence supporters! 👇👇👇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Trump announces 10% tariff on UK following defence of Greenland - The i Paper. Dump US Treasury bonds, do it gradually and hit his economy. He will have to sort himself out…

Great to be out campaigning in the Glenrothes West and Kinglassie by-election with the excellent local SNP team.
