We vote for an indyref but Westminster says no. In May Scots rejected Labour's plans for nuclear & city mayors but we may still have them forced on us. Elections in Scotland are becoming meaningless. The media presents this as a challenge for the SNP but it's really a crisis in Scottish democracy.

Labour's nuclear energy plans. Like Burnham's mayoralty plans, these were put before the voters in Labour's Holyrood manifesto and utterly rejected. Labour is trying to impose them anyway. This contempt for the democratic process is ignored by the media. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/07/02/l...

Questions over hybrid working, GB News and the cost of running the Senedd dominated the Welsh Parliament's first scrutiny session of the new term ✍️Ella Groves

You can debate metro mayor's all you like. But Labour put the idea in a manifesto and asked the electorate to decide, a few short weeks ago. And Scotland said "fuck off." Thats it. The end. scottishlabour.org.uk/manifesto-20...

Both the Thiel/Palantir scandal, and the Mandelson/Deripaska scandal lead back to one figure — Jeffery Epstein

If the Labour party really wants to introduce the English concept of regional mayors into Scotland then how about putting it in a manifesto and letting voters in Scotland vote on it. Oh. Right. They just did, and went down to their biggest defeat ever in a Holyrood election.

Just been to see the Scotland's First Warriors at the National Museum of Scotland. I'm blown away by the skills the metal workers had. Then a wee wander around the tower's lower ground floor. Again some glorious artefacts well displayed @justrena.bsky.social I saw this and thought of you

The Electoral Commission & Commons Authorities have told the Scottish Affairs Committee Murrell didn't embezzle public money but the Committee still wants an investigation into SNP finances. This is an abuse of state power to harass an opposition party. www.thenational.scot/news/2624594...

Tra bod Reform UK yn ceisio creu rhwygiadau yn ein cymunedau, mae Plaid Cymru yn gwybod bod Cymru ar ei orau pan fyddwn yn cefnogi'r rhai mewn angen.

"Rather than supporting Scotland's booming renewables sector or honoring promises to fund vital carbon-capture carbon capture infrastructure, Westminster remains locked into an obsession with nuclear energy." Read more here: https://www.snp.org/westminsters-nuclear-obsession-will-cost-us-dearly/

Not just Andy. The VAST MAJORITY of 'Brits' have never been to Scotland and still are under the impression that it's "grim". It's home to many of the most vibrant places in the UK, with some of the best Restaurants in Europe. Scotland is booming, attracting record Investment. We don't need England.

Being in a standard classroom with windows that don't fully open on an exceedingly hot day, with 30+ teenagers, makes you feel incredibly unwell. Learning grinds to a halt, tempers flare, misery ensues. Any journalist writing that schools are making a fuss over nothing should spend a day in one 🥵

BBC presenter Laura Maxwell asks if there's anything Andy Burnham can do to bypass Holyrood. Surely the question should have been would it be *appropriate* to bypass the Scottish parliament? Once again, BBC Brit Nat normalising colonial behaviour!

SIKORSKI: Ukrainian drone offensive on Crimea is significant. Crimea is important symbolically for Russia, personally for Putin and strategically for Ukraine. The fact that Ukraine has been able to cut off supplies via land route and hit targets in Crimea is a big turning point.

Wales is being held back by an outdated funding formula that was only ever meant to be temporary. Even the man who created it said using it long-term for Wales was "grossly unfair"! It's time for a system based on our nation's needs. ✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Andy Burnham has advocated for decentralising power from Westminster to “the regions”. But Wales isn’t a region, we’re a country. Plaid Cymru will ensure Wales is treated with fairness and respect, and continue to fight for powers over rail, the Crown Estate and justice and policing.

Few people understand the scope of the powers UK governments have granted themselves, to criminalise us as terrorists for expressing an opinion. Fewer still understand how illiberal the Court of Appeal judgement is. But @davidallengreen.bsky.social does.🧵 www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
