The UK is broken Scotland can do better

Independence is the only route to cheaper energy as bills rise again to an average of £1,755 from October under Labour. Labour promised to reduce energy costs for households and they have failed dismally. Scotland has the energy, now we need the power.

62% of Scots voted remain in 2016, after unionists promised mire outside the EU if they voted for independence in 2014. Well that mire has arrived outside the EU with brexit but still inside UK (with reform leading in polls). The Scots would be nuts not to demand indyref2 and re-join the EU. 5/7

We are normalising genocide on a global scale. The very least journalists can do is speak up for our colleagues, our editor Laura Webster writes ✍️ Read the full piece: www.thenational.scot/news/2541503...

Hopefully 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 will listen to JC this time. At the top of that class system, the British Royal Family exists in splendid opulence to remind us all of their superiority & our lowly status. #ScottishIndependence will bring many benefits-losing the crushing weight of the RF is a significant plus point.

This is Scotland, the kettle is on to give tea to folks when they arrive.

With Independence a better Scotland is possible

👉 92% of independence supporters back a Scottish Republic. 📊 Our 2025 Big Independence Movement Survey shows the clear majority want to replace the monarchy, with 58% preferring a system where a First Minister serves alongside an elected Head of State: www.believeinscotland.org/2025_movemen...

NEW: John Swinney has branded Israel's actions in Gaza as a "genocide" for the first time. "It’s quite clear that there is a genocide in Palestine – it can’t be disputed," he told journalists after a Fringe show which was disrupted by protesters 👇

The Central European country has also recognised Palestinian statehood in 2024.

Especially women and marginalised women, Black, Asian, Indigenous, disabled, lgbtqia+, project 2025 is ultimately about male domination over women

A quick run down of what we've got planned for #August - it might change but here's how it looks right now! youtu.be/n6Od82ED13A?...

This reflects very well on Nicola, and shows again that Trump can't handle Independent Women.

We are concerned by reports that Police Scotland carried out repeated bail checks on peaceful protesters during Donald Trump’s visit. The scale and frequency of these visits raise serious questions about proportionality and the right to peaceful protest.

Scotland needs to GTF out of the U.K.

⏰Message from Huwaida Arraf⏰ The 'Handala' along with us, just civilians, was carrying baby formula, medicine, and essential aid to Gaza because governments and institutions fail to break the illegal Israeli siege. ...2/

"Scots, wha hae wi Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led," Hope you enjoyed the Wallace moment seemed fitting to post some of the Bard as Scotland has been full of "Quacks of State" producing there plans in the past few days.

Palestinian statehood is a right. Not leverage. Shame on Starmer for not acting sooner.

We think that is up to the people of Scotland not a convicted felon!

The development of a new strategic framework for the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition comes almost twenty years after the International Coalition was founded. During this time, the context in which WHRDs are defending rights has changed significantly whrdic.org/strategic-fr...

Why is wealth taxation a feminist issue? While wealth inequality is increasing, our public services are deteriorating, with women paying the price twice over. Wealth taxes could help fund the vital services we all rely on, and tackle gender inequalities. Our new analysis in the Stylist

King's Cross, yesterday

There are questions to answer over why £180,000 of public money is going towards anything connected with Donald Trump, when that will be inevitably political given the connection to the President.

Trump’s back in Scotland, a billionaire who built his brand on misogyny, division, and privilege. At Women for Independence we are building a Scotland rooted in equality, justice, peace and actual accountability. He represents the past. We’re working for the future! www.wfi.scot

Donald Trump jets into Scotland, a symbol of everything we’re not. Misogyny, division & power without accountability. We’re building a different future, one rooted in equality, justice & self-determination. Scotland deserves better. #WomenForIndependence #IndyRef2

One of the things we could do with Independence!

Our viral front page today was very simple. We told the facts about Donald Trump, a man who doesn't like the facts 👇

Oh look, Labour can overrule the SC to keep their rich friends happy but not to give the trans community equality or Scotland having democracy! #YouYesYet

We have to start taking the threat of Trumpism, and Fascism, seriously in the UK.

Children are starving in Gaza. France is moving to recognise Palestine, the UK must do the same. Recognition won't end the violence, but it's a step toward justice. Women for Independence calls for: ✅ Ceasefire ✅ Aid access ✅ Recognition of Palestine #CeasefireNow #Gaza #Palestine

It takes incredible privelege to literally write in your tweet that you are *tuning out* and the inability to see this is a problem

This was maybe - MAYBE - an understandable position a year ago. Yes, those of us who knew the players and remember last time knew it'd be bad but there was a narrow chance. Anyone still pretending there's a pivot coming or all these sacrificed minorities are part of a decent plan should be shunned.

Despite Scotland generating a third of UK renewables, Scots pay some of the highest standing charges in Europe, up to £86/year more than London households. It's time to remove regressive standing and transmission charges that disproportionately affect rural households.

If you take nonviolent direct action, Labour will brand you a terrorist. If you riot, and try to burn buildings down, Labour will listen to your legitimate concerns. Take note, comrades

Scotland is ignored yet again!

A key question we didn't get answers to yesterday: Does the Scottish Government still consider Israel a "friend" - albeit one it is critical of - today? Since publishing the new details on Sunday we haven't had any reaction from senior SNP or Scottish Government figures at all
