I notice that the Scots government will soon issue bonds to enable it to soon raise money from investors. The issue of bonds was one of the first acts of the government of Ireland in 1919, and one of the first signs that a country seeks its own sovereignty and independence.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

Why is the BBC News going live to Nigel Farage's comments on the BBC resignations when they have broadcast nothing from the LibDems, who have more than 14 times as many MPs or the SNP who have almost double? If the BBC wants to stop accusations of bias they should stop actively promoting Reform.

Doctors from Scotland and the US have completed what is believed to be the world’s first-ever stroke procedure using a robot

Scotland - the only part of the UK where BBC bias is not a resigning matter: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/10/03/a...

We need to talk about Gove and Crony Covid contracts. Yes we do. M Mone wasn't the only one for sure.

Just did Bluesky Age Verification in order to use Chat function. Crikey! It wanted a scan of my face and then reported it was estimating my age. I held my breath and hoped it would knock ten years off 😂😂

If there is 'no money' and the richest are richer than ever, and getting richer faster than ever. There is only one solution. And it ain't cuts for Disabled People and pensioners.

❌ End the Union's biggest economic lie. GERS doesn’t show what independence would look like - it shows the cost of staying in the Union. ✅ Our proposal, i-GERS, will demonstrate the brighter future independence brings: www.believeinscotland.org/i_gers_the_r...

We all know Labour are letting Scotland down - we could do so much better with independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Westminster’s called the shots for too long... but Scotland’s been watching. They said staying in the UK kept us in the EU. They said energy would be cheaper. They said we were a union of equals. Enough talk. It’s time to banish Westminster.

Thank goodness someone else thinks this. It seems SO obvious. Let them work and be part of the system. We need the workers and the income tax it may provide. Give people diginity and an opportunity to contribute.

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP. Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people ...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business" It's £10ph FFS! Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger DO YOU SEE IT NOW? Spread far & wide. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

Haven’t seen this on BBC 🤔 #talkingupscotland

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.” Farage - the foghorn of failure. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We promised to bring down NHS waiting lists - and that's exactly what we're doing. Today's stats show long waits fell for the fourth month in a row, and we're investing a record £531m over three years to make it easier to see your GP. More to do, but our plan is working. ✅

Farage: epic grifter

Scottish Labour will not get far on Further Education cuts when, after 18 years of SNP leadership, it’s funded 25% better, has more staff per learner and a stunning 95% student satisfaction rating talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/10/27/s...

Free tuition. Free prescriptions. Scottish Child Payment. Lowest council tax bills in the UK. Peak rail fares gone for good. Child poverty falling. That is our SNP record and proof that self-government works. Imagine how much more we could do with the powers of independence.

We’ll fight the 2026 election on what independence can do for Scotland - building the mandate, the movement and the plan to make it happen. #SNP25

Scotland will only become independent when we convince every community across our nation that independence is the best way to build a better future for our families. #SNP25

Let’s vote SNP , let’s get our majority, let’s put pressure on Starmer ( we know he collapses ) . Let make it the #1 topic of this election. Let’s back John Swinney , and get this country the freedom and independence it deserves. #snp #independence #scotland #nounion

Swinney didn’t just speak.—he drew a line: Scotland is on the road to independence, and there’s no turning back #Scotland #ScottishIndependenceASAP #ScottishIndependence

SHOCK – More than TWICE as many Scots trust the SNP Government in Edinburgh as trust the UK (Con or Lab) Government! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/10/09/s...
