It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

What’s Scotland supposed to do? Consult Nostradamus to find out how we have another referendum? Rachel Reeves says that even if the SNP wins a majority on its own at Holyrood the UK government will still not permit another vote. It’s a democratic outrage My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

The country wants a wealth tax on assets. They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked. They've got no actual argument. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Can you remember the uproar when Scot Gov nationalised it? Can you hear them now….? Thought you couldn’t! Neither can I.

*Friday November 28th 05:20 😳STRONG WINDS😳 Windy says the Met Office only have their wind warning until 11am this morning . . . What a load of b8ll8cks as it stays WINDY until late afternoon (as forecast yesterday) but now I’m gonnae update that and go for 6pm ish give or take in general

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Ireland had to fight for their independence from the Brits, they're now reaping the benefits of making their own decisions without the interference of WM, it's time Scotland did the same. #ScottishIndependenceNow

Did you know that Scotland has 1 district nurse per 1595 people, whilst England has only 1 district nurse per *7700*?

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

The biggest problem in the world isn’t climate change, future pandemics, or democratic collapse. It’s that far too many of our most brilliant minds are working on *everything but* those problems. 🧵

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Can the BBC and the rest of the media please stop referring to the US as "the leaders of the free world". By their actions against freedom and democracy they have surely disqualified themselves from this title?

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Interesting that David Coburn Scottish UKIP leader is named in the Gill story.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots. Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth. Delete your account.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

Excellent thread!

The upcoming Holyrood election might not be a referendum but it’s probably the most important one since devolution. With Westminster imploding and their Scottish sub-parties dragging Scotland’s progress down at every turn we can’t afford to let them anywhere near Holyrood. This one really matters.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

A quote from Professor Sir Chris Whitty CMO for England: "Just to acknowledge the really great work done in Scotland. Scotland has actually blazed a trail in many areas of Public Health." Listening to WM's broadcasters you'd be surprised to hear it . @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews

During Covid one particular process reassured worried Scots that crisis was being handled as well as it could be by devolved ScotGov without powers WM possesses - daily briefings on TV by FM Sturgeon. Pressure by Jackie Baillie MSP and his Lardship George Foulkes helped to have these *stopped*.

UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea. UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations. Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies. Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis. UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

Good article on how Scotland is seen as very capable internationally “Last week, a story broke that… didn't get nearly the attention it deserved. No surprise to us indy supporters. For the first time since the 17th century, Scotland is preparing to issue its own government bonds.” “Scotland has…/

They call it a UK Budget, yet a Labour government in England’s parliament makes no effort to consult or discuss it with the other nations it affects. It’s imposed, not agreed. This is how the Union operates. it’s clear it isn’t a Union at all.

"Why don’t we fight back? Because land is power. Every single piece of credible research says that Scots overwhelmingly do want to fight back. Land reform is wildly popular, supported by overwhelming majorities. Yet still it doesn’t happen. Why?" #LandReform #Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

No, it's not. The political class's encroaching fascism is what is tearing the country apart. "Othering" is just one of the heinous indicators of fascism, and this govt is tilting windmills into all of them. If I ran the country, I'd make them all crimes against humanity.

BBC Bias is often in the eye of the beholder So let’s stick to measurable facts During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority 47 were from UKIP/BP 23 times Farage

Even when Scotland is praised on the world stage the SNP gets no credit Financial agencies applaud Scotland’s economy, but all we get is sneering. Govts need held to account but credit where credit is due It shows how meaningless the quality of our debate has become In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

It's amazing how many want to be serfs and told what to think.

🔥 Even Labour insiders admit Downing Street treats Scotland as an afterthought. 🔍 Starmer’s team keep landing blows on their own leader while ignoring what matters here. 👉 The SNP will always put Scotland first — Labour never will.

Maybe just stay the fuck out of other people's business instead of sticky-beaking like the village gossip?

Jackie Baillie sets new low desperately trying to hide SNP Government’s huge lead in preparing for expected flu outbreak, widening free access from 5 to 13 key groups and carrying out proportionally more than TWICE as many jags as in Labour England talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/11/13/j...

I can't recall an occasion when someone at the BBC resigned for being dishonest about the SNP. Despite an endless stream of dishonesty about the SNP. Perhaps I'm going prematurely senile...
