Scotland is one of the most energy-rich countries in Europe, yet families here pay some of the highest bills. That simply does not add up. An energy-rich Scotland should mean energy-rich Scots. My column in today’s Daily Record 👇

Nigel Farage has been urged to 'come clean' about several of Reform UK's largest donors

YES to Scotland’s future. NO to a future decided elsewhere. Scotland didn’t vote for this system, these priorities, or this decline. Democracy means choosing our own path — not waiting for permission to exist. #ScottishIndependence #Yes

I fully support every word Anas Sarwar says here, but I fear that most of his 'island of strangers' head office in Westminster almost certainly does not.

EXCLUSIVE: Seven weeks ago, Plaid Cymru shook the world of UK politics in a way they hadn’t before, storming to victory in a seat Labour had held for a century and collecting more votes there than Keir Starmer’s party and Reform UK combined

Harassment, 'untruthful' evidence, and 'unusual' legal questions. Our reporter Xander Elliards looks at nine points from the Sandie Peggie ruling that the rest of the media has left out

Question Time Tonight's "balanced" panel. Good side - Stephen Flynn, SNP Evil Side - Anas Sarwar, Labour UK Russell Findlay, Conservative UK Lord Malcolm Oxford, Ex Conservative UK Angela Jaggery, an Ex Hack for The Sunday Herald who now spouts propaganda for STV, BBC and SKY News Bias? 🤣🤣

Remember when Kemi Badenoch also boasted about hor the Tories packed the EHRC to stack policy-making institutions against trans people!? 😖 It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it’s actually the malevolent scheming of a handful of bigots! 😩

So last week Offord was still a Tory & wouldn't have been on. He defects to Reform & is immediately straight onto the show. #bbqt.

Reducing inequality is essential for "the resilience of economies, the stability of democracies, and the viability of our planet." The road we're on is not sustainable. Tax the super rich.

New CBI report shows business investment in Scotland is at a 20-year high. Despite damaging Westminster decisions like Brexit or Labour's tax on jobs, our economy has many strengths. Imagine how much more we could do with the full powers of independence.

Storm Brann fails to breach even one of Scotland’s flood defences after 18 years of SNP Government but 8 500 fail in England talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/12/10/9...

Typical BBC Scotland! Interviewer Martin Geissler focusses on referendum process and currency and saying that Scotland does not have the right to a referendum as he tried to divert @gillianamartin.bsky.social from explaining why Scotland would be better of as an independent country. He failed.

Reform UK are running a 'cash for access scheme in all but name', a senior SNP MP has alleged

We’re calling for the UK Government to implement a Social Tariff which could reduce energy bills by up to £700 for those who need it most. 💚⚡️

Reform UK are running a “cash for access scheme in all but name”, a senior SNP MP has alleged after they launched a £10,000-per-year membership which comes with exclusive access to party leadership. www.thenational.scot/news/2567713...

Island and remote rural area populations are projected to drop by 12% from 2018 to 2043, but it feels like all the component parts are in place to change the narrative, writes Kate Forbes ✍️ Read here: www.thenational.scot/politi...

Offord's astroturfing Vote No Borders campaign was one of the BBC's blatant attempts to influence the outcome of the 2014 indyref. It was given a full 10 minutes on the 6 o clock news & falsely presented as a grassroots campaign while the BBC ignored genuine grassroots initiatives on the Yes side.

Lest we forget . .

On this front, a reminder that (in Scotland at least), people are very supportive of capping donations to political parties and supplementing / replacing it with per-vote based public funding. 60% supported public funding for parties and 51% selected options that *at least* capped private donations!

‘Westminster should learn from Holyrood before another generation pays the price.’ - It would make more sense for the UK Labour Government to just replicate the Scottish Child Payment’ [according to an] independent assessment.” (Would “Labour” adopt a key SNP policy? Not before hell freezes over.)

Scots have been advised to wear face masks and stay away from work, school, or hospitals until they are better as flu cases across the country continue to rise

The moment Fiona Bruce cuts off Zack Polanski to allow a Question Time audience member shouting at him to cut in 🤨

Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel. After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

My latest blog piece, just days after the Scottish Languages Act comes into force, Farage attacks Glasgow school kids in order to scaremonger about immigration. A new low even by his disgusting standards. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/f...

Nigel Farage has been slated for a 'repulsive' and 'deeply racist' attack on Glasgow schoolchildren as part of his Scottish campaign

More than 50 organisations and hundreds of individuals – including a number of famous faces – have joined together to launch an alliance 'against the far right' 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

The SNP has mitigated £1,128,489 in Bedroom Tax across Aberdeen City so far this year. This will help to protect families, support communities and shows a commitment to stand against the unfair Tory & Labour policy.

The BBC has been slammed after 'choosing not to cover' a St Andrew’s Day service where politicians and faith leaders united behind the Saltire

At this time of year, I start to think about my annual reviews, which include (for consistency of comparison year-to-year) an average of polls across Q4. I know I keep banging this drum, and there's a few weeks left, but Scotland is unbelievably poorly served by polling at the moment...

So pleased to host young people in Bute House today for an important discussion on eradicating child poverty. Thank you for setting out your views so powerfully. We’re working to support families and reduce the cost of the school day - and we’ve made real progress, but there’s still more to do.

I just saw a woman on Reporting Scotland referring to asylum seekers as 'fighting age men' with the clear implication that asylum seekers are here to conduct a violent invasion. That's not just a racist dog whistle, it's a racist fog horn.

If England decided it wanted to hold a vote on becoming independent, do you think it would have to ask Scotland’s permission first? This design and many, many more to download for sharing from my indyposterboy site. indyposterboy.scot/sauce-for-th...

Edinburgh is getting a brand new concert hall, the Dunard Centre - for the first time in 100 years, supported by SNP Scottish Government funding. What a delightful rendition of Caledonia by Dougie MacLean with pupils from Broughton Primary to mark the moment we broke ground. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

From today, Gaelic and Scots are recognised as official languages. A significant moment on St Andrew’s Day. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why don’t schools try a one day week - Sunday - the rest of the week kids can clean chimneys from inside - carry buckets of guts from slaughterhouses - or wade in toxic carcinogens to dye cloth for the English King And his floozy. pay the kids in pints of gin, if any argue, deport them to Saudi.

John Swinney has said UK Government plans to house 300 asylum seekers at an army barracks in the Highlands were 'made up on the back of an envelope'

"Time to admit the truth - Brexit has been an unmitigated failure." Just as the tide is turning, will the English shoot themselves in the foot again and vote for Nigel Farage, the architect of Brexit, as our next prime minister? 🤔

It’s not where we come from that counts, it’s about where we’re going. Great to meet Afghan Scots children at Maryhill Burgh Halls and hear a lovely rendition of Robert Burns.

Police said there was no case to answer, so this seems either pointless, or motivated by Scotland is shitery.

There is nowhere in the Edinburgh agreement that uses that phrase or anything about the timing of another referendum at all. Source: GOV.UK share.google/tWnefbyucAJD... #ScottishIndependence #LabourLiars #ReevesLies

Let’s defeat the politics of hate and despair with the politics of hope. Honoured to march with the STUC through Glasgow against racism, and for a fair and diverse country that we must remain.

A campaign against an estate's 'unacceptable' banning of walkers from accessing four popular Munros at one of Scotland's 'most beautiful glens' has been launched

From Thatcher to Brexit, the Tories’ war on Europe turned a political colossus into a crippled party. Labour risks repeating the same mistake
