Now how on earth did she come to that conclusion, since there were precisely zero mentions in any of the papers leading up to the referendum, in fact the commission afterwards specifically stated that Scotland was entitled to hold a new one at the time of her choosing.

I think we all know the answer to this one.

Fiona Bruce should have a read at the Edinburgh Agreement the legal document for indyref1 because nowhere in it does it mention "once in a generation." Democracy doesn't stop just because you're afraid the vote might not go your way this time. #ScottishIndependence

Good afternoon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺💯

Edinburgh Airport needs to be brought under public ownership and at least £1bn upgrade needed with the theft of Scottish funds from the wasted money on HS2! It’s an embarrassment!

Israel has NO RIGHT over international waters. The silence of the West is a DISGRACE!

What a bunch of feckin morons. Why the hell did they stand for election if they haven't a clue what it involves...🤦‍♀️

1/2 The political expediency framed within hypocrisy of WM claiming that newly elected government's, chosen by the voice of the people, are not incumbent in honouring the previous governments policies, therefore the voice of the people is not final.

I do not watch the BBC for the every reason we just heard. The SNP is not the only party in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 wanting independence, so this myth of them being short of seats is crap 💩. It is a) the undermining of a party that keeps winning. B) ignores the Greens wanting independence.

Just the opinion of a right wing unionist troll who, nominally, is the chair of the programme. Nothing was ever agreed in 2014 about it being once in a generation. Wishful thinking on her part. No change there.

In 2021, Tory govt froze annual personal allowance (PA) at £12,570. Labour continued with it. If PA increased in line with inflation, it would be £16,048 for 2026/27. As a result, someone earning £20,000 will pay extra £696 income tax in 2026/27 alone. This is not conducive to economic growth.

Terrorist state.

It is great to see Prestwick Airport reaping the benefits of shrewd investment to capitalise on its natural advantages. And even more so given all the doomsaying that went on in the years following the Scottish Government’s rescue of the airport. 1/

Curse of Private Equity Morrisons to close 100 stores. Blames govt, silent on PE looting. PE loaded company with £6.6bn debt, cut staff, sold-off petrol stations, indulged in sale and leaseback of assets, extracted returns, devoured. To tackle PE - End tax tax relief on interest payments.

2/2 get told, now is not the time, you had your chance. No more! Now get back in your box, and shut the fuck up. We own you!

1/2 The Establishments convenience of being able to hold as many referendums as they sees fit, including a purely advisory one that suddenly became an unassailable law carved into the very foundations of that decrepit building. Scotland asks for the very same democratic right and we effectively

Oh dear, maybe this wee wummin should educate herself a bit more.🤦‍♀️

Reeves cuts VAT on summer days out to 5% as part of cost of living support Will it make a lot of difference? Who will ensure that companies pass on the cut to customers? What about ending profiteering by water, energy, banks, vets, dentists companies; ending freeze on income tax thresholds?

BUT the British government are complicit. Horrified? You’re not. BUT if it was you, Starmer, Cooper etc that was being subjected to these horrors we would HEAR the squealing. LOUDLY Your words are empty, meaningless, but empty vessels do make the loudest noise.

Maybe it's time the good people of England started demanding answers from WM as to why a devolved govt with a limited budget can deliver all this for their people and WM can't or won't deliver it for them.

With each byelection costing ~£30K that's £3million of council tax payers money Reform UK have wasted, so far ... "Nearly 100 Reform UK councillors have now been kicked out, suspended, disqualified, resigned or defected — including 22 in just TWO WEEKS since local elections" via ReformUK Exposed/X

Every constituency in Scotland voted to stay in the EU but the UK Gov in their infinite wisdom sought to overrule our democratic decision because it didn't fit their narrative to protect wealthy ppl from EU tax avoidance laws and regulations It's always about the wealthy!

Oh FFS 😬

My latest blog post. John Swinney fires the starting gun on the push for independence. Tuesday's Holyrood motion demanding the power to hold an independence referendum be devolved to Holyrood is the opening salvo in an issue that's not going away. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/05/22/j...

Scotland is energy rich, yet we’re paying some of the highest energy prices in Europe - why did Labour let Grangemouth shut on their watch?

So, Burnham says he wants to “power up Britain” without rejoining the EU. Fairyland politics.

As Scotland tries once more try to persuade Westminster to behave democratically and respect the record pro-Indy majority in Holyrood so we can vote on our own destiny, it's worth recalling that the island of Sark (pop 500) has more autonomy in the UK than Scotland does. #Scotland #Indyref2

True but the turnout was still nearly 70% in Scotland, the majority voted to remain in the EU and those voters have been ignored by Westminster.

Lady in purple, "I'm not a big fan of: we had one vote" "When we had the Brexit referendum the entirety of Scotland was in agreement to stay in the EU" "And it didn't mean a thing (as Scotland was pulled out of the EU by Westminster)"

Aye. Noticed that straight away. For days we had verbal insults being allowed aimed at John Swinney on tv/ in the media & the media was flooded with members from the food & drinks industry basically telling us to starve & go hungry.
