During indyref the No campaign had *2x* the funds of Yes campaign. Now Reform UK has over £10m donations to buy the 2026 Scottish and Welsh elections with, and the next UK one too. Meanwhile the Scotland and Wales-based parties have to rely on small donations from the public. UK politics is broken.

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism in the UK over the past year. How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard? news.sky.com/story/terror...

The BBC gave us John Peel & The Old Grey Whistle Test🤷‍♀️ BBC In Scotland wants to give you 'Dad Jumper' programmes for middle of the road types. This will help stiffle & smother budding modern culture in Scotland in carving oot it's identity from the Starmer suit Brigade Its Forcing a culture on us

When oh when are the British people going to receive an apology from Nigel Farage and the other UKIP liars!

So it seems that Glasgow's data on children whose first language is not English shows that overall these learners have higher than average educational achievements. Some important context for #Farage, the #Telegraph and the #BBC to reflect on. www.thenational.scot/news/2570331...

Severe weather conditions in Gaza have claimed the lives of 13 people, including babies who froze to death, as Israel continues to block the entry of aid that could provide shelter to 1.5 million Palestinians living in worn-out tents.

New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives. Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity. We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.

Innocent children are still being killed or dying of other war-related causes in Gaza, despite so-called 'ceasefire'. Where will the survivors sleep tonight? Refugee families are living in rain soaked tents, water above their ankles, bedding, everything, soaking wet. IDF still restricting aid.

"Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza have suffered another wet miserable night in makeshift shelters and there's worse to come.. Israel is still severely restricting humanitarian aid, including shelters, in breach of the ceasefire it agreed to 2 months ago"

Independence is the fresh start Scotland needs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

UK households cut spending at fastest pace in 5 years. Average real wage stuck at 2008 level. Energy, water, broadband, rents, grocery, dentist, vets prices rising at more than CPI. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't rebuild without redistribution.

Agreed, but this is so blatant, even for their own standards. In recent days BBCScotland phone app gave time to; 1) SLab attack on NHS Scotland via their own sanctioned report 🙄 2) Reform announcement/PR stunt at Falkirk/Grangemouth But they choose to ignore the ScotGov’s view on energy. Unbiased?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 An independent Government of Scotland will put the interests of the people of Scotland FIRST 🇬🇧 Something that uk westminster will NEVER do

⚡️ Scotland is energy rich, yet has some of the highest energy bills in Europe. It's time for a fresh start with lower energy bills. Support our campaign by pledging your support and encourage your followers to do the same. www.snp.org/energy

New analysis shows: That there are now more people alive in the UK that voted Remain in 2016 than those who voted Leave in 2016. The "will of the people" expressed by direct vote in 2016... has changed.

The SNP branded Rachel Reeves’ first budget a “chaos budget”, claiming higher energy bills and taxes, and rising unemployment. We reviewed the key claims – and found they're a mix of True, Mostly True and Half True. Find out more: www.theferret.scot/s...

It's perfectly possible that Farage's Reform could spend £1m - 1/10th of the donations the party has received from millionaires - to skew the Scottish general election in May 2026. Meanwhile the genuinely Scottish parties (SNP & Scottish Greens) have to rely on tiny donations from we plebs. 😡🤬😡🤬

From FPTP to uncapped unregulated political donations; from the House of Lords to systematic Westminster power grabs to undermine devolution and colonial “territorial offices” for NI, Scotland and Wales (not England) the UK is a profoundly undemocratic basket case. #EndLondonRule

"So if the Greens and the SNP . . get over the line and make a coalition, make a majority, get the votes in the Parliament, then they’ll vote through a referendum, and that’s what democracy’s all about.” Ruth Davidson MSP, Scottish Tories Leader, 2011 indyposterboy.scot/thats-democr...

Imagine how much better Scotland could be if ScotGov had full control!

Farage arrives in Scotland today, and it should make our collective stomach heave that this repulsive, dangerous extremist has crossed the border. Amid scapegoating schoolkids and allegations of antisemitism anyone who supports this man is morally in the gutter My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

‘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 – Independent assessment talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/12/06/w...

Absolutely, well-said Mr Swinney. www.thenational.scot/news/2567762...

Last week, Amnesty International released a detailed statement documenting that “Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.”

Health officials in Gaza report 366 Palestinians have been killed and 938 injured by Israeli forces since the October 10 ceasefire.

So it seems. www.thenational.scot/news/2567736...

This is who we are. This young New Scot totally gets it and is more than a match for Farage’s politics of division and hate! 👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I'm a bilingual refugee in Glasgow. Here's what I would say to Nigel Farage www.thenational.scot/news/2567361...

So gas and electricity prices are set to rise again - because we have to pay for substantial infrastructure upgrades. I wonder how much infrastructure could have been upgraded if private companies hadn’t spent over 30 years stealing our money for a few shareholders?

Nothing about this on BBC Scotland or the Birmingham bin strike. Almost as if the BBC branch in Glasgow don’t want you to know the mess Labour is making of running England.

If the incidence of broken legs were soaring you'd want to know why - not question whether they were being "over diagnosed". Why is mental health illness different? Streeting probably suspects the underlying cause. It's not something Starmer wants to treat. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The SNP are set to force Scottish Labour to vote on the UK Government’s 'hostile and damaging migration policies' that have had a 'devastating impact' on the care sector
