As a recent immigrant to Scotland, I am not sure if most Scots realise how different services are in England. It was a very pleasant surprise when I moved here how much better things were in so many aspects of life. Don’t be fooled by the likes of Farage he will destroy everything you’ve got.

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Ah, is the old 'why do you want to leave one union just to join another' question being asked again? Because they are *very* different unions, and a key difference is that the EU can't refuse to let you leave if you want to. indyposterboy.scot/uk-vs-eu-2/

How could I have missed this research saying explicitly that ‘things are easier for Scottish families relative to English families’ because of SNP Child Payment, when we pay for a national news service? talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/03/h...

Oh look, a leader with a backbone… Spanish PM Sánchez has stated that Spain will neither recognize the govt of Nicolás Maduro nor support any U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, warning that such action would violate international law and endanger regional stability.

So this piece of crap squatting in the White House has decided to engage us in war to gain oil. This is not about drugs. This is about control. This is about him not being held accountable for his crimes. How much does it take until we act against him?

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere. But it is wrong. It is a myth. Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US. Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

I am very proud of our latest paper describing a new pathway to control nucleolar structure, the SASP , senescence and aging. Check it out at Aging Cell. The paper is in memory of Hazel Thoms (1st Author) who died of lung cancer during preparation. doi.org/10.1111/acel...

Could have been the UK, we had 3 times as much oil and gas. Instead it was sold off by Thatcher for pennies and you got nothing.

A vulnerable child was groomed and trafficked and then subjected to the most shocking experiences imaginable including the deaths of her babies. Instead of taking responsibility the British establishment stripped her of her citizenship and dumped her like old rubbish. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We look at the New Year and think about what we can change. We know Scotland has real choices ahead. We want control over our future. We want policies shaped here. Independence gives us the tools to act on our priorities. This year, we support a Scotland that makes its own decisions.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

We know that Netanyahu is going to talk Trump into bombing Iran again. He will say that within 2 years they will have weapons of mass destruction if the US doesn't do something. He's been saying the same shit since before Reagan and helped push us into the unjust war against Iraq. Netanyahu is evil.

Isn't it fantastic to be a sovereign nation once again, able to make our own rules and not bend to the demands of foreign politicians?

We want Scotland to make its own choices. We want our votes to shape the government we live under. When decisions get made close to home, we feel heard. Independence feels like taking responsibility for our future.

Great to see the magnificent goal from Scott McTominay celebrated at the National Portrait Gallery.

Come for the chart of shifting party support, stay for the fury at the fact we're going to have one of the most consequential Scottish (and definitely most consequential Welsh) elections since devolution, yet the Westminster media can't stop speculating about PM Farage in 2029 long enough to care.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage. His first question was: “who funds him?” Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

Reform voters looking at the hatred, fear and inhumanity in the US and thinking, yup, I'll vote for that. 😬😳

In run up to Scottish general election in May 2026 the UK parties - Tories, Labour, LibDems & Reform - will be criticising the SNP government for failures in sectors which they know are not devolved, counting on you NOT knowing that they are controlled by Westminster. indyposterboy.scot/powers-less/

Hey, Grauniad. I think the real trick is Westminster refusing to devolve most powerful economic powers to Scotland, then laughing & glosting when Holyrood is hamstrung to make necessary changes. Even so, it does better than WM in so many areas, not least NHS Scotland. indyposterboy.scot/powers-less/

David Lammy is 'letting prisoners on hunger strike die' and must explain why grave concerns about their 'inadequate treatment' are being ignored, a group of MPs have said

Understand the main reason Donald Trump wants Greenland is so he has Canada surrounded, from the West with Alaska, from the South with the USA and from the East with Greenland. Then he will do what he is doing in Venezuela to force in his favorite Canadian puppet.
