We need to talk about Nigel Farage.

Westminster wants Scotland to accept nuclear power stations for the same reason they site their Trident WMDs here: because they are safely far away from their core voters in the SE of England.

Good news! Your SNP Scottish Government has allocated £1.5 million of investment in a redesigned and accelerated diagnostic pathway for colorectal cancer.

On the usual paper review, BBC Scotland refused to read today’s Daily Record headlines.

'Stop the boats' is the right thing to do, only we're demonising the *wrong* boat people. #Bezos #Musk #Zuckerberg

How can any government justify pushing children into poverty? It beggars belief that the UK Labour government still hasn’t committed to scrapping the cruel two-child cap. We are doing it in Scotland - while also delivering the Scottish Child Payment, the Baby Box, and more.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Irish citizens are working across NHS Scotland today. Starmer will need to quickly explain how his proposed compulsory ‘BritCard’ employment scheme would apply to non-UK citizens, like the Irish, who currently live and work here visa-free.

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Here's your first look at tomorrow's front page 🗞️ A historic moment as UK recognises the Palestinian state – but Swinney says Starmer must go further

Your @aberdeensnp.bsky.social team out this morning in Tillydrone #ActiveSNP

Labour pledged to reduce household energy bills. Labour lied!

The UK Government’s recognition of Palestine is a welcome step, and one that is long overdue. But words alone will not stop the genocide in Gaza. Sanctions, an end to arms sales, a ban on goods from settlements, and the suspension of the UK–Israel trade deal must follow.

Our billionaire king gets exemptions on capital gains tax, inheritance tax, corporation tax and more. Next week we're bringing a vote to end the 100% tax break he gets when buying property in Scotland. Power and privilege is no reason to avoid paying your fair share.

EXCLUSIVE: First Minister John Swinney has written to the Palestinians arriving in Scotland to receive medical treatment

The SNP are scrapping Labour’s two child benefit cap in Scotland. Scotland is introducing the Two Child Limit Payment to effectively scrap the impact of the UK-wide two-child benefit cap from March 2, 2026.

Remember this when he is up for eviction. Out, out, out. BOSH! 🤣

It appears that Nigel Farage's girlfriend had £885,000 in cash to buy her house in Clacton that definately wasn't for Nigel and definately not bought using his money but her name to dodge £44,000 in Stamp Duty. All very suspicious and should be investigated.

SP26: West Scotland Region Preview Sure, the SNP vs Labour contests will be most important here, but Eastwood could really piss on Russell Findlay's chips and this is also one of the best bets for Lib Dem recovery anywhere in the country.

We stood by during the Rwanda massacres, and vowed never agein. Now we watch similar outrages in Sudan, Gaza, and the West Bank! Where is the outrage?

Instead of delivering support on the cost of living, Westminster is busy demonising people who seek sanctuary. I will have no part in it. Our Saltire is a flag of welcome - and refugees are welcome here in Scotland.

Westminster politicians believe they know what is best for Scotland. I believe it is all of us who live in Scotland who know what is best for Scotland - and we have the fundamental right to decide. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Read my lips, there will be no austerity under Labour…we will save the Grangemouth refinery…we will scrap the two child cap….we will bring energy bills down…we will compensate the WASPI pensioners… - a year on and it all turned out to be shite.

“A minimum income guarantee could be transformative, putting in place a universal guarantee that’s there for everyone in Scotland. Given the levels of poverty and inequality we see, we must act urgently.” Russell Gunson of the Robertson Trust, via The National. archive.is/gKeKJ

I hope everyone in Scotland is watching this. A warning though. It will make you angry. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Did you know? Alexander Dennis is not stopping production, it is not going bankrupt, nor going into administration. It's a Canadian company that has been incentivised & encouraged by the UK Labour government to move to England after taking over £100 million in subsidies between 2021 and 2022 👇
