TRAILER: This week’s podcast where Isobel Lindsay and Bill Ramsay come into the studio to help us unpack the deeper message behind Deputy PM David Lammy's extraordinary claim that the Scottish Government is a "national security threat”. And anyway, what nation was he talking about?

IndyPodcasters pay tribute to the late Elspeth King, one of Scotland’s most influential curators and historians. Exploring the absence of Scottish history in the national curriculum, the power of history in shaping identity, and in understanding who we are. scottishindypod.scot/scottish-his...

I love this; it’s genius 👇

It's like he thinks the SNP are some race of non-Scottish interlopers who have sneaked into Scotland while the rest of us weren't looking. SNP are Scots, Scots voted them into government. #Lammy might be 5% Scots but the other 95% is pure idiot

Dental services in SNP run Scotland are better resourced than those in England, Wales & Northern Ireland according to official figures compiled by the British Dental Association.

Fascinating day learning how to display #art in a #gallery for the Yes Stones/Resonate Together exhibition in #Alloa from Friday - so many things to consider to get the layout and themes right

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested. Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Well said @cornishskipper.bsky.social And ditto from Scotland where we voted over 60% to remain.

Great afternoon with Nick Drurie and our Glasgow group. He knows a helluva lot about social housing and has good ideas about how to approach Scotland’s housing shortage. He’s pretty good on how to gain independence too. @albaparty.bsky.social

Marlene and Fiona quiz Jin Byrne... sneakily bringing in clips from the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the News Agents.

BMA leaders during last Junior Doctors strike in 2023/24: “We can call this strike off today if the UK Government will simply follow the example of the government in Scotland….” shorturl.at/mZWin

Two excellent points made in this clip. 1. Nigel Farage's Brexit has done huge damage to the UK. 2. Farage and Reform want to give the UK economy even more of a kicking by destroying our growing renewables industry and its jobs. Both need to be repeated more often by all parties.

@fionamcgregor.bsky.social and I were over in Edinburgh yesterday and videoed a fair bit of the rally in support of Palestine. Speeches from Doha Amu Aber, Tommy Sheppard and Lesley Riddoch included. @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social @tommysheppard.bsky.social @pscupdates.bsky.social youtu.be/wHMw4Chf_Zo

Is anyone even remotely aware of small boats landing anywhere in Scotland? I'd really like to know the BBCs rationale for running this non-story. The seem to be unaccountable at present 'Skewed': BBC slated for pushing small boat crossings as top Scottish story www.thenational.scot/news/2530801...

President Macron: The British people were sold a lie. over brexit. Many people in your country explained that brexit would make it possible to fight more effectively against illegal immigration... & it's the precise opposite to what the brexiters promised. #DublinAgreement

Life Peer Baron Sikka is mixing up his UK with his England. I hope Miliband does rescue Prax. It’s the right thing to do. But mainly bec it will surely cause a final uproar in Scotland where Grangemouth was abandoned. An uproar loud enough to carry over to next year’s Holyrood election. Bye, bye UK

A masterclass in visionary leadership from Zohran #Mamdani here. If we take "New York" out and replace it with "Scotland" and then give it to every Holyrood 2026 candidate to practice in a mirror until they are at least as good as this, wouldn't that be a positive start? #holyrood2026

It's Friday! This week's podcast is our very enjoyable conversation with Fatima Joji from @womenforindy.bsky.social - we're looking forward to hearing much more from a revitalised organisation! #WFI Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts scottishindypod.scot/grassroots-i...

Latest from Electoral Calculus, mostly for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: Reform UK is gaining support from almost every other party, particularly from those who didn't vote last year, the Conservatives and Labour. Labour defectors have decided not to vote, switched to other centre-left parties, or gone to Reform direct.
