The EU is poised to adopt new measures to speed up and simplify the accession process for candidate member states to become part of the EU. This would also make the accession process to the EU much faster and easier for an independent Scotland. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/22/r...

What is it with Nigel Farage and the people he associates with?

First frogspawn of the year. Two days earlier than last year. #Frogs #Wildlife

February's Norstat poll had the smallest sample of 2014 No voters it has ever recorded. It dipped below 300 for the first time and is now lower than the number of new voters who didn't vote in 2014. Fair fucks to them for continuing their ludicrous reweighting to the 2014 result!

EXCLUSIVE: Scottish Labour has slumped to fourth in the first Holyrood poll since Anas Sarwar turned on Keir Starmer

I've reweighted the latest Norstat #Indyref2 poll to show what it looks like without the 2014 weighting manipulation. If we take out those undecided it shows Yes on 55%.

Precisely this. The only person in jail for abuse and trafficking of girls is a woman.

Labour basically lost half its entire vote share to Reform Uk here. This enabled Plaid to take the seat. Emblematic of what might come in May.

A timeline: Trump stops U.S. humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, including power generators Russia attacks energy infrastructure in Ukraine in the coldest winter months Marco Rubio visits Orbán and Fico Hungary and Slovakia stop diesel fuel shipments to Ukraine

As a new poll puts the SNP within striking distance of winning a majority in May's Holyrood election and projects Reform UK as the largest anti-independence party, the choice facing Scotland has never been starker, Scottish independence or British fascism. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/18/t...

The published tables confirm these figures for #indyref2 vote intention. There’s another poll out now from this pollster with a +6 change on SNP regional vote, so will be interesting to see what the Indy figures look like!

What the hell is wrong with BBC Radio Scotland? They are desperately picking apart some Labour and Tory grievances to concoct some kind of #SNPbad headline out of this Murrel case which even Sherlock Holmes would struggle to fathom.

Don't let Sarwar anywhere near our Scottish NHS. Only vote for Indy Parties to protect our NHS

New Scottish Independence poll, Norstat 10-13 Feb (changes, or rather almost complete lack thereof, vs 13-16 Jan): Yes ~ 48% (nc) No ~ 45% (-1) Don't Know ~ 6% (nc) Excluding Don't Knows (/ vs 2014): Yes ~ 51% (nc / +6) No ~ 49% (nc / -6)

Scottish Labour has been a branch of the British Labour Party since the latter was founded in 1900. Since devolution many commentators have assumed an independent Scottish Labour Party is just around the corner. It is not. It will take effort, will & challenging Labour vested interests.

New Scottish Parliament poll, Norstat 10-13 Feb (vs 13-16 Jan): List: SNP ~ 30% (+1) RUK ~ 19% (+3) Lab ~ 17% (nc) Grn ~ 11% (nc) Con ~ 11% (-1) LD ~ 7% (-2) Alba ~ 3% (-1) Constituency: SNP ~ 35% (nc) RUK ~ 19% (+2) Lab ~ 17% (-2) Con ~ 10% (-1) LD ~ 8% (-1) Grn ~ 8% (+1) Third post lucky...

Despite its freshly polished nameplate Scottish Labour is still a branch office. Maybe different if Sarwar had completed his Starmer attack & announced a new Scottish party that dares to back indy/indyref2. But two tribes have gone to war & there are no winners www.thenational.scot/politics/258...

Messages between Peter Mandelson and UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting reveal that top Labour figures are aware they are 'knowingly aiding and abetting' Israeli war crimes

On the day that Scotland’s First Minister opens the country’s first walk-in GP clinic, the BBC ignore it completely and focus on some peripheral SNP bad shite. Welcome to Scotland, the country whose media want it to fail. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The stark contrast is set to raise a simple but incendiary question: who is truly paying for Britain? Racist POS Ratcliffe, or people coming here from all over the world helping to build Britain? #UKNews

And they want us to fail because otherwise, it shows up England. In reality, this petty dishonesty serves neither country, ignoring the successes of one, and the failures of the other. Preserving control and imbalance and preventing the bruising of egos. What lofty goals. It's pitiful.

Epstein marks a sundering that will reshape the relationship between power and the people throughout the rest of the 21st century. A curtain has been pulled back on a bloody chamber. We now see the rich and powerful for what they are: creatures of impious impunity, consequence-free crime

No, @moreincommonuk.bsky.social , everyone knows the SNP are not on 2%. Your polls are consistently wrong, so go and change your methodology. Also, sign up to the MRS code of conduct; pretty sure it won’t hurt you!

Fantastic news for Scotland and another great example that will no doubt be replicated across the UK. Great to see it being showcased across the news channels…

BBC continuously ignoring any positive action by the Scottish Govt

the 100% Unofficial Taylor Swift Annual 2026 applies a more critical lens to Taylor Swift than the Daily Record’s political editor applies to Anas Sarwar

"The Change Scotland Needs" he crowed.

We're starting to see something rather nice in Wales. Support for the ghastly Reform UK is going backwards, while Plaid Cymru are gaining with each poll. These figures are from the Yougov weekly Westminster polling.

The shape of things to come?

ANAS SARWAR (2024) ‘Vote UK Labour for change delivered by Keir Starmer’ ANAS SARWAR (2026) ‘Vote UK Labour for change not delivered by Keir Starmer but by an unidentified beige leader who has ideologically identical policies to Starmer’

ANAS SARWAR (2024) ‘Vote UK Labour for change delivered by Keir Starmer’ ANAS SARWAR (2026) ‘Vote UK Labour for change not delivered by Keir Starmer but by an unidentified beige leader who has ideologically identical policies to Starmer’

What (concretely) is Anas Sarwar proposing to change about the relationship between UK and ‘Scottish’ Labour? Given this relationship is not working for Scotland I expect some clear proposals for federalism or further devolution. Or is it just posturing?

So, Anas Sarwar in 2024 wanted UK Labour to deliver change that would benefit Scotland. He asked us to vote for Starmer. Now he says that UK Labour is not delivering for Scotland. He is effectively saying we need decisions made in Scotland. How can we trust him?

Less than six hours between these posts. Excellent journalism, Paul. Thank you.

That "change" patter sounds vaguely familiar. Can't quite think where I heard it before, though....

"Kier Starmer must resign over a decision I supported and celebrated" is the purest distillation of Anas Sarwar, an absolute worm of a man

Westminster has failed Scotland. A new Prime Minister won't change that. It's time for independence.

Anas Sarwar is about to call for Starmer to resign for his appalling judgement when it came to Peter Mandelson. The same Anas Sarwar who proudly posed with his 'old friend' years after everyone knew that Mandelson stuck with Epstein despite his conviction for child sex offences.

John! What are you doing standing at the side of a road in the Highlands? There's a party leader about to make a complete arse of himself live on the telly. 'mon get those overalls off and get your kebab skewers looked out.

We interrupt this broadcast to go live to the Branch Office manager of the party that finished third in the last Scottish Parliament elections...

Anas Sarwar making a gamble based on self-preservation. A desperate act in my opinion.

Wee reminder! Can I have a boost, please? Thank you @yesforeu.bsky.social @nationalyesnetwork.bsky.social @scotnational.bsky.social @indyliveradio.bsky.social @indyvoices.bsky.social
