Teachers’ paid maternity leave – Labour plan to double it but it will still be only just over half that in Scotland talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/04/04/t...

For most of my political lifetime, Hannah Spencer's views would have been indistinguishable from those of a pretty run of the mill Labour MP. That's why opinion column hit pieces depicting the Greens as 'far left' are garnering such little traction.

Welcome to new Reform candidate, Derek Bullock. The Tories kicked him out twice for being racist, including a post saying "Shoot the P***s on the spot". But in Reform we view that less as a problem and more as a basic qualification. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/03/30/s...

Getting there one at a time. In the pub yesterday, a lad, big Trump supporter, yet a really nice guy whom I'd had 'discussions' with previously, was man enough to approach me and said he'd got it wrong. I respect that.

If you become a tax exile you lose the right to call yourself part of ‘us’.

You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

Amen to that! #ScottishIndependence #IndyRef2 #Scotland

Child Poverty Rowntrees Foundation There is a contrast in trends in Scotland, where the rate of child poverty in the central scenario falls over the period from January 2025 to January 2029, and all other UK nations where child poverty increases. www.jrf.org.uk/work/economi...

The war against Iran is impacting us all. It clearly shows why we need Independence and the ability to set our own energy polices . Scotland is handcuffed to energy prices caused by WM’s buying gas from the open market. Scotland can do better. #bothvotessnp #snp #scotland #energy #nowar

Yvette Cooper is a disgrace. She doesn't speak for me and I doubt that she has many supporters in Scotland for her ill-informed, hypocritical remarks. We have a chance on 7th May to show Labour what we think. SNP 1, SGP 2, for maximum impact.

Starmer & Labour Govt are lying to the British people that US bombers based in UK are “defensive”. That’s a lie. NYTimes: Military analysts say the US fighter jet downed in Iran on Friday was based at one of the two UK RAF airfields that are hosting “the largest USA fighter jet operations in Europe”

In 2021, over 1 million list votes won the SNP just 2 list seats. No Majority. They’ll likely dominate constituencies again meaning most, if not all, of the 56 list seats will go to unionist parties or the Scottish Greens Split your vote to maximise pro-indy MSPs and minimise Westminster parties.

Scotland is forced to fund the BBC, but we have no say over what it broadcasts. Can you see anything missing from this series on "Britain's National Parks"?

"England to Scotland electricity superhighway" Here was me thinking that highways ran in both directions. And shouldn't that read Scotland to England? After all that's the direction it flows in... 👇 www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/3bn-o...

Well, a ton of them voted for him...

I've asked people why they don't want Independence for Scotland. Their answer?: I just don't.

The BBC has the most brilliant production values; it produces extraordinary natural history and drama series, but it is and has long been the most refined propaganda service in the world...it is an extension of the establishment in this country." John Pilger 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

This is another reason why we moved to Scotland, it cares for is citizens, where the UK Govt clearly does not. Labour`s Bain principle toward SNP runs so deep they actively harm rUK children, rather than adopt our successful policies, that's why we need indy from a cruel and dysfunctional UK Govt.

Donald Trump will have you believe the future of Planet Earth is Coal and Oil. It's not.

Don't let their smiles fool you. The fanatical barbarism displayed by this couple openly on social media gives you the idea that they do not hide their racist views, Nor do they hide their intent to any non Jewish people. It is fair to say that they will be in the minority, But one is one too many.

The Brexit Party. Sensible Scots, wake up.

Starmer has also shrunk Labour from the biggest party in Europe with policy decided by branch motions & conference funded mainly by members' subscriptions to an elitist group which which sells policy to the highest millionaire bidder

Yet, there he is, in the Israeli government making laws to murder people. Obviously not evil enough for most Israelis. But just evil enough for Netenyahu's needs.

Sarwar says the SNP lacks ambition. The mans a complete tosser.

once more: Believing *Both votes SNP* makes sense is the Scottish equivalent of being a flat-earther.

Not sure how to use your second vote in your region? Simply equalling the Tory vote at 110,000 gives three more Green seats and less yoon votes, an Indy win for NE Scotland. In NE Scotland it's definitely SNP 1 Green 2.

The three England based unionist party’s in Scotland are exactly the same so it’s not just a Reform issue! Wake up Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 they have been taking us for fools for decades… Time to leave the corrupt toxic 🇬🇧 state of the privileged and elite and vote for #ScottishIndependence
