50 days until the election. We’re improving lives of people in Scotland today - from GP walk-in centres and free prescriptions, to the Scottish Child Payment and free tuition. Imagine how much more we could do with independence. On May 7, vote SNP. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

Yes. "With independence, we will have a seat at the top table of #Europe once more... not the isolation & economic damage of #Brexit... but trading freely inside world’s largest single market... freedom to live, work & move all over the continent." #democracy #HumanRights #fairness The FM is right.

Did you see on BBC Scotland News about UK Labour’s plans to overrule Scottish Parliament decisions on devolved matters? No, neither did I. #Scotland #Holyrood26 #SNP1SGP2

Imagine US citizens in 1776 not voting for independence because they didn't like Pat Randolph. Who? Exactly. This isn't about the SNP or any other political party. It’s about your children and grandchildren having the power to choose what’s best for Scotland. 1/3

NOPE!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

MEXICO STEPS UP: 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Opposing independence because you don't like the SNP is like not buying a house because you don't like the wallpaper. We can redecorate later. First we need the keys.

Thank you, conference. 💛 Let’s get out there, win the election on May 7, and build the better future for Scotland with independence.

🟨 Print Edition — Reform Attacks Byline Times Reform UK accused Byline Times of “attempting to derail a democratic election” for reporting on Matt Goodwin’s academic ties to organisations linked to discredited pseudoscientific race ideology

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men." Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?

‘Medical records showed the detainee was taken to hospital in the summer of 2024 with injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to Israeli media reports on the indictment.’

Threats against female MPs having ‘chilling effect’ on women in public life, minister says

Iran just dropped Trump's Epstein nightmare Keith Edwards 3/11/2026 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5HN... Iran is certainly good at deploying cheap weapons. They deployed his Achilles heels... the Epstein stuff, on social media X.

The UK Government did not give their Scottish counterparts any prior notice before telling the media that a £10 million investment would be contingent on the SNP administration, it has emerged

Most Americans believe Trump’s war on Iran is meant to distract from the Epstein files, a new exclusive poll from Zeteo, Drop Site, and Data For Progress finds. Read more about the findings on zeteo.com: zeteo.com/p/new-poll-m...

Yet more proof UK gov undermining devolved powers. Starmer says ok to deliver in devolved nations "even when devolved governments may oppose this" No wonder #JohnSwinney doesn't trust Labour to protect #devolution 👏@stephengethins.bsky.social for raising in PMQs www.thenational.scot/news/2592756...

It's spun as 'spending money' when it means imposing things that Westminster wants that Scotland and Wales *don't*, such as nuclear power stations.

⚡️💸 Scotland is a net exporter of electricity, yet households here are hit with some of the highest standing charges in the UK. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland’s energy must be in Scotland’s hands, and that can only happen with #independence.

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless. You are giving me hope. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-will-prevail

"Bylines Network doesn’t have billionaire backers, corporate owners or political paymasters. Our strength comes from people – readers, writers, editors, volunteers and supporters who believe in truth and democracy." Citizen journalism is on the rise. Please chip in!

Be very aware, there is a cohort of men who would erode every right we have gained in the last 100 years, And those men have a tranche of women who have been conditioned to believe we need to be dominated. Fuck. That. #InternationalWomensDay

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I've always refrained from attacking indy parties in public, we have an entire Scottish media for that, but I shed no tears for the demise of the Alba party, one of whose supporters told me "I wish you'd died instead of your dog," after I declined to back it when it was launched.

Labour has dangerous plans for NHS Scotland & would introduce privatisation by the back door. Meanwhile Reform UK is hostile to the very concept of free universal healthcare. Only an SNP led Scottish Govt will protect NHS Scotland from the private sector. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/03/08/l...

‘All those who care about the BBC’s future should hurry and send in their response before 10 March. Despite strong public support for the national broadcaster, you can bet battalions of enemies driven by the right will be out in force to undermine it.’

Every Labour MP should read this important blog from @barristersecret.bsky.social thesecretbarrister.com/2026/03/07/k...

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August. A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Somewhat lost under the hideousness of Shabana Mahmood’s plans is the fact that immigration is a bloody good thing. We need more of it, not less.

This systematic stifling of dissent is facilitated by the law of the UK. We need to recognise that it's yet another step on the road to #authoritarianism and #fascism. Scotland urgently needs to separate itself from this toxic UK state. #Independence #ScotlandInEU www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez addressed thenation yesterday, reaffirming Spain’s commitment to distancing itself from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In a move reminiscent of past anti-war sentiments, Sánchez invoked the iconic “No a la guerra” slogan .... euroweeklynews.com/2026/03/04/s...

BREAKING: Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid has resigned the Labour Whip after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. Story to follow.

From FT comments

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Michael Shanks must be happy tonight. Someone else has taken the title of shittiest Labour MP in Scotland.
