⚡ Scotland already has the capacity to produce more electricity than it needs - yet Westminster wants to turn our countryside into a nuclear export zone for England. 🟥 It is time to end Scotland's energy bill rip off: www.believeinscotland.org/westminster_...

Ed Miliband has asked GB Energy to assess Scottish sites it believes could be used to host new nuclear reactor – but Scotland's energy future should not be about nuclear ✍️

Breaking News! Health Secretary Neil Gray says Scottish NHS waiting lists have fallen with new outpatient waits longer than a year down by 7.35% in September since August 2025, a fall for four consecutive months. Total waiting list for outpatients has decreased by 2.0% on the same month last year.

NHS Scotland waiting list times have decreased for the fourth month in a row whilst those in England increased, new figures show

We promised to bring down NHS waiting lists - and that's exactly what we're doing. Today's stats show long waits fell for the fourth month in a row, and we're investing a record £531m over three years to make it easier to see your GP. More to do, but our plan is working. ✅

Here in Scotland BBC Scotland platforms, a caller who wants to tear the NHS down, a GP who wants to get back to the 50s and another caller who wants to run it like a Kwikfit garage, all the while blaming the SNP. All this negativity, instead of this 👇 talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/10/27/c... Indy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Excellent action from The SNP - finding ways around Labour's bad policies, pending Scotland regaining independence 👏

Left-wing pro-Palestine independent Catherine Connolly has won a huge victory in the Irish Presidential election, in a result which will be heard around the world.

Companies that donated to Labour awarded £138m in contracts. Corporations/Rich don't donate, they bribe. Buy access to policymakers, favourable laws, lax regulation, govt contracts. Low/Middle earners cannot compete. Political donations must be criminalized. No second jobs for MPs.

Well, well, well! Research – the safest place by far to bury high-level nuclear waste is in the deep clay beds of the South-East around London talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/10/25/r...

In light of Labour's Ed Milliband stating he would invite nuke companies to Scotland if Labour win in GE2026, it's worth remembering that planning for nuclear dumping was one of the powers stripped from Scotland by Westminster's Powergrab. Where do *you* think they'll want to put it?

The discovery of 'significant' levels of decades-old nuclear waste in the Highlands highlights why Scotland must reject Labour's 'dangerous' new nuclear power plant plans, the SNP has said

Scottish MPs from the SNP, Tories, LibDems, and even Labour Party have united to oppose UK Government plans to hand the English fishing industry more than £300 million while giving Scots 'pocket change'

What a nerve Starmer has! His government is causing a crisis in the care sector by removing visas for overseas workers + job losses in many sectors including struggling local authorities by increasing employer NI costs. Scotland has the best performing NHS & lowest child poverty tx to SNP.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

The BBC has been forced to issue a correction after exaggerating the number of drug deaths in Scotland. Actually drug deaths are at their lowest since 2017. Now if the Beeb have the humility to admit they are wrong, Why don't the unionist MP's do the same? www.thenational.scot/news/2553069...

Former PM Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office. Secretly lobbied the UAE for a billion-dollar private venture, Used senior contacts in the Saudi govt to pitch for a consultancy firm. Lust for private wealth is the main cause of UK decline.

A group of Jewish academics working at universities across Scotland have condemned 'unfounded, irresponsible and dangerous' attempts to link the Manchester terror attack with pro-Palestine protests

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

Surely Humanism demands respect for the victims on both sides. Hamas are barbarians. Netanyahu is a barbarian. Both of them glory in slaughter. The Hamas attacks were a hideous crime designed to provoke a response. But that response morphed into genocide. On both sides, the victims are the innocents

People need to be aware that leaving the ECHR opens the door to reinstating the barbarity that is the death penalty. Protocol 13 commits member states to the abolition of the death penalty under all circumstances. Leaving the ECHR allows a future Westminster Govt to bring it back.

THE ECHR PROTECTS US ALL We must protect it, not leave it

EXCLUSIVE: The UK Government has refused to reveal which companies are encouraging them to sell Britons’ data to Silicon Valley despite transparency fears The NHS’s records trove alone is reportedly estimated to be worth £10 billion per annum

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.

Scotland easily has the stature to chart its own course in the world. Just a few days ago, Malta celebrated 61 years of independence, England fear-mongered in the 50s, they fear-mongered in 2014 and would do so again if another Scottish independence referendum wete announced.

Gordon Brown 2014: “Stay in the UK to create a more socially just country.” Gordon Brown 2025: “Nothing prepared me for the child poverty I see in Britain.”

Utterly ridiculous. 12 votes in the Commons tonight means 3 hours of tedious trudging through voting lobbies. What a total waste of time and energy when MPs could do it in 3 minutes with a modern voting system. It’s long past time to drag Parliament into the 21st century.

“Bow down to your imperial masters!” When Labour leaders trained up scores of their MPs to love bomb Glaswegians at the end of the #indyref campaign they found themselves extras in one man’s Star Wars tribute…. www.itv.com/news/2014-09...

Probably the most important but neglected scandal about Mandelson. Epstein was close to Peter Thiel. Thiel had secret meetings with Cummings and Johnson before Palantir’s 100m contract Mandelson’s Global Counsel was pitching Thiel’s Palantir to Starmer. What a carousel of cronyism
