It's WM trying to double dip into Scots pockets, again. We already contribute considerably toward defence spending, just like we already contribute toward everything else reserved, including WM spending allocated as Scottish spending and labelled as a 'deficit'...

Trying to convince Scots SME's who once freely exported and imported with the EU and are now struggling, that the Brexit disaster can somehow be cured with a pep talk, is an utter waste of Scotland Office funding. A glorious offshoot of the highly unsuccessful blue Tories Festival of Brexit...

Too much covfefe?

Well. That meme's bollocks. Aside from certain types of DJ'ing loving the stuff, vinyl's never really gone out and it's coming back stronger year on year. Slabs are still very collectable.

So... How many of the Epstein files must be missing to make them all about just one British MP and not Trump & Co?

Why has the BBC buried a possible basic income for artists in Scotland, into the Glasgow & West category? For open-minded Scots: this would be FANTASTIC! Get on the case @AngusRobertson For the close-minded: it's just more nationalist freebies... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour's fudging Scotland's figures with direct inaction... #BainPrincipleMax

Has anyone checked if the UK gov is currently investing heavily in bodybags again?

Venezuela is Trump's Ukraine.

The UK Gov has directly funded some of Nigel Farage's income from GB News, via being the largest purchaser of advertising on the channel, alongside the BBC promoting him like a political rock star. Don't be fooled by the supposed establishment opposition to the rise of Reform. It's all a CON...

Dunno if that 'solid 3D' will ever catch on.

Start another business, spend it on whatever I want, and/or invest it. All 3 benefit economic growth. Multiply by tens of millions of people...

‘Workers at Mossmoran deserve better’. So do Grangemouth workers, WASPi Women & Cold Pensioners, all of whom Labour have abandoned ! With independence we could help all of the above. You couldn’t redden this guys neck wi a blow torch ! 😡😡😡

There's an easy way to tax billionaires, without directly taxing billionaires, that also reduces poverty, particularly people in work but also claiming benefits: Raise the minimum wage to above the living wage.

Is the "Cost of Living Crisis" a temporary glitch in economies spanning the globe, or an inherent and inevitable flaw in a monetary system reliant on finite energy and resources and here to stay until a monumental change occurs? Not the kind of small change Labour/Tories renege on. A mindset one...

6 out of 9 Brexit supporters won't understand the arithmetic.

The country remains liquid in the glass on the table, waiting to be imbibed...

Anthony Williams charged with train stabbings...

I don't know what I'd do without mine.

Careful. The SNP gets lots of stick for still blaming Thatcher for X&Y. Turns out Brighton council (and all others) could revolt against the stipulation that council house sales cash could not (generally) be used to create new council housing stock. They just didn't, until now. Why the delay?

This 'ceasefire' in Gaza reminds me of something...

269 power outages across Scotland. We just got hit. Looks like it could be one of the largest compensation pay outs ever for loss of service...

Brave haircut.

Farage just commissioned another poll...

Insurance agencies also increasingly not covering climate change rooted disasters, and/or increasing premiums...

The much loved Scottish politics genius Murdo Fraser had already solved who was responsible for the assassination of Kirk. It was the ess en pee with their disgusting words of peace, driving nice right wing folks to silence the voice of reason...

What's less enduring than a lettuce?

Apple. I see why people like them. Also why people hate them. I've never owned one before, but just bought a 2015 21.5" model: i7+SSD+16GB and it's a fine machine today for £40! Security issue fears are just that, installed the latest Sequoia OS easily enough (patch) "It just works" legit (so far)

Poor Ian Murray, sacked as Scottish Secretary. Not loyal enough...

Non-News of the Week (Telegraph): It's not a 'loophole', it's what every business (except charities and not-for-profits) beyond a certain point does: a limited liability company with shareholders. It's WM rules. Take Anas Sarwar. He's taken around £300k in dividends from his family firm...

Woo. £1100+? Well done folks. Going very well now. Let's keep it going. 👍👍 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/funding-fo...

I hear Labour are also needing 60,000 desperate army recruits: fast!

How many BILLIONS will Westminster be PAYING an i-Scotland to keep WMD operating here? Is tiny Mauritius a unique political powerhouse? www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Scotia scientists...

I imagine the Ministry of Defence, in its capacity as defender of England, doesn't want Scots to know being in the union comes with quite some additional fallout, Boom, Boom...

Hold on a minute...

Highest fuel poverty in Europe too... #ScottishIndependence #FFS

As the Ferret wins release of 'radioactive secrets', what we already knew about the risks of living near Trident subs: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/03/05/d...

The current leader of the World's No. 1 Warmongering State Sponsor of Terror is the one delivering this speech.

I've never had a credit card, nor needed one, because I'm sensible with money and only buy what I can afford. Just found out I cannot buy a hedge trimmer on ebay because it's a "bladed item". Ebay is £50 cheaper than elsewhere. The only age verification accepted is a CC. How effing stupid is this?

That same year, the BBC and UK PM David Cameron teamed up with Putin to persuade Scots to vote NO to their own independence, something Ukrainians certainly cherish...

I do hope Sir Richard John Dalton doesn't list hillwalking as one of his hobbies...

This is the reality of the "fraud" in the disability benefits system Labour has been "tackling" since the Blair days... www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The IDF will be the first to embrace this fabulous technology.

I believe it's called the UK, or Rip Off Britain. Some parts of the UK are ripped off more than others... (Energy reserved to the grand old rip off parliament)

This is the side of the indy movement I love.

I thought you were supposed to be everywhere: all-seeing. Was that a lie?
