I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Labour panic continues. Within the last 2 mth 4 of Starmer's top team have resigned: James Lyons (No.10 Director of Comms for Strategy) Steph Driver (No.10 Director of Comms for Delivery) Paul Ovendon (PM's Director of Political Strategy) Joe Dancey (Labour Party's Exec Director of Policy & Comms)

Here's the video of TalkTV presenter André Walker dragging a climate protester from the Republicans Overseas dinner he organised in Windsor during Trump's visit @bylinetimes.bsky.social

You know Labour has run out of active members when their candidates have to rely on their Scottish Office Minister to knock on doors.

Given the rise and rise in popularity of the Greens for the list vote in next year's election, what happens if they get more than one seat in regions where they only have one candidate 🤔 greens.scot/news/scottis...

Can you help the BBC out? Killed by who?

Politics is about choices - and I will always choose to lift children out of poverty. This is our national mission for Scotland.

Of course Israel should be removed from international competition. But airtime should also not be given to those attempting to defend genocide.

Never smoke - and do regular moderate exercise. And you've a good chance of leading a long healthy life. (unless you were unfortunate to be born in Gaza or one of the world's many war zones, of course.)

Prime Minister only in name...

If you want this sort of **** in Scotland as well, vote Labour in next year's election. If you don't, make sure The SNP stays in charge of our NHS.

Love the new mosaics filling in potholes and gaps in the paths in Queen's Park in Glasgow. #glasgow #mosaics #queenspark #tiles #tiling #ceramics #streetart

Of course Khan is no mate of McSweeney.

Thanks to SNP public ownership, Scotland has not only removed peak fares but also has the lowest % of cancelled trains in the UK. 🚂👇

Today is European Folk Day and yesterday was the autumnal equinox 🍁🍂 A song known across the world, Wild Mountain Thyme, a variant of the Braes o Balquhither, was adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake and recorded by his family in the 1950s.

I like this chosen topic. You might well respond without thinking with a "yes, of course" - but the more you think about it, the worse the idea gets.

We’re out checking out routes around Oban and north Argyll this week. Here’s a shot from one of the walks yesterday - anyone recognise it?

A Wellbeing Economy needs to be the top priority of our government and Scottish business after we regain independence. We need growth that focuses on benefiting people and the environment, not exploiting them.

Scotland deserves to stand tall and free, writing its own story for future generations. Who agrees? Raise your hand please 🖐️

When art becomes too close to the truth in trump's America, art suffers. This is called voluntary censorship. We see it all the time here in the BBC. www.vulture.com/article/appl...

Let’s ignore the usual incomplete source for understanding Scotland’s public finances (GERS) and start again from the basic data. Then how well does Scotland look for independence? The answer's very healthy! buff.ly/ZDSgMT4

It's really not about winning over public opinion at this stage, is it. Every time I see trump's latest excess I think "Farage will be making notes".

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.

Thanks to SNP public ownership, Scotland has the lowest % of cancelled trains in the UK. 🚂👇

🚨 NEW POLL 🟢 Yes: 52% 🔴 No: 48% With the powers of an independent country, Scotland could do far more tackle inequality, build our public services, protect our environment, and defend human rights. 👉 Help us make it a reality: www.greens.scot/join

Corbyn’s “Your Party” is starting to show some cracks . Labour are hopeless , Reform dangerous , Tory’s are over and LibDem are well LibDem. SNP are the only logical choice , it’s just common sense . #nounion #budget #vote #europe #scottish #Inflation #YES #truth #Snp #eu #independence

Why don't British journalists ever challenge Labour or Reform with any of this? Are they all too pally?

Don't forget - the TV Licence is optional. You don't HAVE to fund the BBC. Without one you can still watch... just about everything. www.tvlicensing.co.uk/faqs/FAQ265

Shock - England is hugely over-represented in the UK cabinet. But check out Wales - all of Labour's cabinet members studied at English Universities! In Scotland 100% of the cabinet went to school and uni in Scotland.

News from other TV channels around the world. Always interesting to see how differently they see the world to the domestic BBC. youtu.be/cSZgzt6HAAw?...

I can understand why the media in the USA wants to report the orange one's lies about paracetamol - but why is it leading the BBC's domestic news in the UK? "American president lies but we'll report his lie anyway".

Looks like I misunderstood how cynical Phillipson's post was... it's little more than a part of her campaign to get elected as deputy party leader. If she wins, I doubt she'll actually follow through on this promise.

Is there *anyone* who thinks that "Scottish" Labour isn't just a brand used by the Labour Party?

If there's never any Palestinian state, then what does Israel plan for the West Bank? Millions of Palestinians living for all eternity under occupation, apartheid and colonisation? No, Israel doesn't plan this. Israel wants all Palestinians between the river and the sea gone.

Who'd have guessed - Reform UK's senior figures had by the far the most elitist school education in UK politics.

It doesn't need a focus group to tell you where your moral compass should be pointing. So why does it always take Starmer forever/never to respond to these poisonous Reform UK pronouncements? It's clearly possible elsewhere within Labour...

This is the BBC in Scotland's Political Editor. Criticising our FM for his comments on ethnic cleansing. Now imagine Glenn Campbell as the mouthpiece of the English Establishment, slapping down that Scottish upstart. (video: MSM Monitor)

BBC Good Morning Scotland was at it again this morning. Carole Ford was on the programme attacking the Scottish Gov over education but wasn't identified as a former Lib Dem candidate. Ford was also a Better Together voice during the 2014 Indyref campaign. The BBC needs to be politically neutered.

The BBC in Scotland's so-called 'Education Experts': Ex Scottish Labour leaders Jack McConnell, Johann Lamont Ex Scottish Tory aide Alison Payne Ex LD candidate Carole Ford LD councillor Jim Goodall Tory councillor Alix Mathieson Notorious SNP critic Lindsay Paterson (MSM Monitor)

The BBC Scotland phone-in has covered "disruptive behaviour in schools" five times inside a year. Here is every one. There is a very definite attempt by the BBC to present our education as failing and our young people as disruptive. The BBC needs to be politically neutered. (Video: MSM Monitor)

How politically neutral is the think tank 'Enlighten' that's all over BBC Scotland today attacking Scottish education and the Scottish Govt? This clip of Peter Mandelson, who was invited by Enlighten Chair Jack McConnell to give a speech last year, might help you. (MSM Monitor) youtu.be/Foem4iLMbqg

The RSE's mission: "the deployment of knowledge for public good". Its Chair Jack McConnell praises Peter Mandelson who boasts Labour is going to win Holyrood in 2026. Director Chris Deerin praises English education as the best before Mandelson attacks the SNP and praises Sarwar. youtu.be/OfoGPd6Mtz4

Many Labour cabinet ministers are vocal members of LFI. Which will they resign from - the British government, or Labour Friends of Israel?

The BBC as the voice of the English Establishment has always been obvious in Scotland, Wales, and NI. The fact that the Establishment now feels a natural alignment with Reform UK now makes even those in England spot the obvious issue with this. The BBC needs to be politically neutered.

A good start would be not being killed and deliberatley starved. Then words can matter.

Will this now stop, with the British Government's recognition of a Palestinian state? (A: no.)

A reminder: this is entirely unnecessary genocide; a decision of Netanyahu's government in Israel to punish the Palestinian people... for being Palestinian.

If Reform gains power in Westminster, they control our Borders. It's a power our Parliament doesn't hold. Even the SNP can't help. To protect ourselves against this poison we need to regain independence.

Hamish Falconer: "Its important... we take the steps that we can* to bring about peace in the region" *excluding any steps that will exert real pressure on Israel, such as ending all arms exports, imposing sanctions, halting trade, cancelling all military ties.
