Better together??? 🤪 Let's leave this shitshow far behind us, Scotland. You Yes Yet Scotland? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SaorAlba #IndyClan #Salvo #LiberationScotland

I find this bitterly amusing. Had the promises made to win the 2014 Scottish independence referendum been honoured in full, instead of being reneged upon within hours of the result, the UK wouldn't now be in this situation. Petard meet hoist. #Scotland www.thenational.scot/news/2612508...

Meanwhile in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⬇️ Under 22’s and over 60’s (SIXTIES) already have free bus travel in Scotland. Three areas in Scotland currently have a trial £2 limit on ANY bus journey. The SNP Scottish Government proposes to extend it nationwide. No peak rail fares, on publicly owned ScotRail and ⬇️

If 'These Islands' and other pro-union groups genuinely cared about Scotland's wellbeing in the UK they'd have pressed for all of the promises made to win the 2014 referendum for NO by pressing Westminster to honour those promises. It's significant that they never have.

Hope, ambition and practical action to improve people’s lives. This is what we offered in the election campaign, and this is what we will deliver.

BREAKING: A charity run by Malcolm Offord is breaking the law and must register with regulators, an inquiry has found. The charity watchdog has said the inquiry into the Scotland leader of Reform UK 'remains open'.

I am appalled by the conduct and rhetoric of Israeli Cabinet minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in relation to the Global Sumud Flotilla. Scotland stands with the people of Gaza. We need to see more humanitarian aid coming in, and every effort must be made to secure lasting peace.

Wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a tiny few, while we're told there's no money for essential public services like the NHS. By developing a Scottish Wealth Tax we could make landowners, polluters and billionaires pay their fair share towards the common good.

My latest blog post. The British media is hiding the truth about the sustained level of support for independence in Scotland. The new Scottish Parliament has a record majority for independence and is the fourth in a row with such a majority. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/05/20/t...

Proud to appoint the experienced, energetic and more streamlined Scottish Cabinet. We will cut the cost of living, improve access to our NHS, and always focus on Scotland’s priorities. We are ready to deliver for all of Scotland.

I wonder if people who misname the Scottish 'Nationalist' Party, also refer to the Nationalist Trust, Nationalist Express and Nationalist Car Parks?

For anyone still claiming the indy movement has no democratic mandate, the numbers tell a different story. Since 2007, pro-independence has won 5 consecutive Scottish Parliament elections, with the SNP governing Holyrood for nearly two decades, including a historic majority in 2011 with 69 MSPs.

Rather than our government investing in public infrastructure, they’re outsourcing to this horrible company, which then gets to extract all the information, power and profit it likes, and the taxpayer will pay for the privilege, writes Mhairi Black ✍️ Read more: www.thenational.scot/politi...

A party standing for an indyref which won more seats than the anti-indy parties combined, and another party standing for an indyref which won more seats than the Lib Dems have no right to talk about independence, says man who is neither liberal nor democratic. www.thenational.scot/news/2609840...

You can make this argument in England under FPTP but it's patently false in Welsh national elections where Plaid Cymru have just beaten Farage handily under a proportional list system.

Let's go. 🍀🍀🍀

South East Water CEO to step down after Kent and Sussex supply outages. He will probably turn up with another lucrative post. Musical chairs can't solve the water industry woes. Need fundamental change, prevent extraction of cash. Change won't happen without ending privatisation.

Dear @snp.org and @scottishgreens.org - you've got your Indy mandate. Don't f*ck it up. Put egos on the shelf until we get through this. #IndependenceIsNormal #Scotland

**** me, 19,137k!!🤯 votes syphoned of the Greens with this fake uber yoon party. Surely there are laws against this.😡

Now, We could check with the BBC for accuracy, But take my word for it. This is what Scotland will be dealing with going forward. And yet it is REQUIRED to produce a balanced budget at the year's end whilst trying to maintain vital services. But hey, As long as London endures.......... Fuck the rest

BREAKING: Labour activists have been caught breaking electoral rules at multiple Scottish polling stations by putting party campaign material at voting booths

The polls have closed. A huge thank you to everyone who put their trust in us and voted to build a fairer, greener, kinder Scotland. And a special thank to all of our candidates, staff and volunteers who made this campaign possible. 💚💚💚

The polls are now closed. In every corner of Scotland, we have run a positive, ambitious campaign, focused entirely on the priorities of the people of Scotland. To everyone who voted, volunteered, and put so much hard work into this campaign - thank you. 💛

Labour and Reform are spending a LOT on Meta ads for the locals. SNP and the Tories much less so. Greens and Lib Dems are spending hardly anything open.substack.com/pub/whotarge...

Polls open until 10pm for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election (an hour ago, thanks for not posting the scheduled polls open post, Buffer xoxo); the earlier you vote the better, don't let the day get away from you! Pop in en route to work, after dropping weans at nursery, or coming back from gym!

"You either agree that Scotland is a nation or you do not. If you agree that Scotland is a nation then like me would insist that we take our place at the “United Nations” as an equal member among nations, nothing less"✍️

Just been to the polling station with Elizabeth. I could not do what I do without her support and the sacrifices she is prepared to make. Thank you, Elizabeth. ❤️

We’re on the verge of a historic election result that will cut your cost of living, lock Nigel Farage out of power, and unlock the fresh start of independence - but we have to make it happen. On Thursday 7th May, #BothVotesSNP.

My latest blog post - Shooting for the moon. If we can get the 55% who support independence out to vote, there's chance of an SNP majority AND an SNP/Green supermajority, creating a political earthquake. Even if we miss, we'll land amongst the stars. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/05/03/s...

On Thursday get out and vote like your future depends on it, because it does. Round up your independence supporting friends and relatives and nag them into voting. You don't need ID or your polling card, just turn up at your polling station and vote. It's easy.

Nobody can be above the law. Courts in New York exposed the way Donald Trump's empire inflated asset values, with serious questions about his operations here in Scotland. The Scottish Government must use an Unexplained Wealth Order to force the transparency Trump has long avoided.

The SNP will always protect free tuition in Scotland, because education should be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay. It was good to meet pupils in Govan whose futures are being transformed through the work of IntoUniversity, a programme we are proud to support.

Reform and their super-rich donors are the real threat to our country. #stvdebate

Policy in the SNP and Greens for Scottish independence which, if our own currency is introduced, changes the dynamic of funding altogether. Our own currency = economic choices and management levers we can't achieve as a joined up effort under devolution. bylines.scot/opinion/elec...

The top 2% in Scotland have more wealth than 50% of the population. It's time to tax wealth fairly and fund our public services. #bbcqt

NEW: John Swinney has said he is ready to work with Sinn Fein and Plaid Cymru to 'change the dynamics of the United Kingdom' as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland could all elect nationalist governments for the first time

Most Scots would vote for independence if a referendum were held tomorrow, a fresh poll carried out in the middle of the Holyrood election campaign has found

When people face sky-high food costs, energy bills and petrol prices, they need a government that is focused on supporting them. While Westminster is engulfed in chaos, the SNP will act on the cost of living - capping bus and essential food prices, and expanding childcare.

Spot on. Why doesn't Westminster just say 'Sure, you can have a vote on independence. And if you vote Yes but change your mind later you'll be welcome to rejoin.' Why is that so difficult for them? youtu.be/Px0y08MYU84

I think this sums up what many people think: Scotland has improved enormously under the SNP, much more than England under the London parties in the same period. We need to protect that, as well as building for the future. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 𝘝𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘚𝘕𝘗 𝘰𝘯 𝟩 𝘔𝘢𝘺

Quite simply fuck Labour and fuck Reform

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
