"The route in Scotland is clearly mapped out: a referendum followed by negotiations with Westminster, based on lessons learned from the 2014 campaign, then independence. "It can all happen astonishingly quickly. People baulk at years of transition. Nonsense." 👇 tinyurl.com/46cekfsz

What say you, @AnasSarwar.bsky.social? By the way, that’s not a rhetorical question!

In this Telegraph article from just before the last General Election, Rishi Sunak promised to increase North Sea drilling and cut National Insurance. Exactly what Wes Streeting is now promising. But, sure, Labour represents change.

this cheered me up 😂 SNP donations have INCREASED in the week after Peter Murrell admitted to stealing money to fund his spending spree Party received several thousands’ in donations despite the scandal emerging Figure represents a ‘significant’ uptick in what party would typically receive 👇

🤣 this Labour MP, while criticising Nicola Sturgeon, is under the illusion that she is “trustworthy “ and “reliable”! I suggest you replace those words with DELUSIONAL! 🤣

x.com/telegraph/st.... Opponents saying it’s like a cult . I’m no cult member I’m a retired Bank Manager who wants to see a new Stock Exchange open in Scotland following Indy truly shows the resources Scotland produces . It will replace the 4 that was closed in Scotland after oil was found.!!!

Welcome to our pro-independent Scotland world, @ZackPolanski.bsky.social. You are not alone. (and whisper it, as you may not have noticed it, but we’ve been experiencing it much, much longer than you now!) 😆

This is disgraceful. If Sturgeon, who is no longer an elected politician, is being grilled, where’s Farage?? He’s a sitting MP. He’s been bought by a non dom crypto billionaire. He’s continually lying about the use of the money and it’s £5m- not a fucking coffee machine. #bbclaurak

Nicola’s only crime was to love too much. And to not notice the Jaguar on the drive #JohnCrace Rather than being one of the shrewdest operators in British politics for a decade, it turns out Sturgeon was just too trusting www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I blame his wife for not being aware of it.

Why “No comment”? “I was in a state of almost complete collapse. I was terrified. I was bewildered. I was in a state of high stress & anxiety! … And I would challenge anybody, in the state I was in, to go and do something different!” (contd) www.thenational.scot/news/2615300...

“We had separate bank accounts. I never had access to his account. He didn’t have access to mine. Every month I’d pass him money to cover my share of household expenses and leave him to it, and give him a bit more because I was FM. So, no! I didn’t know!” (contd) www.thenational.scot/news/2615284...

“I take responsibility for the things I do. The decisions I make. I'm here now, answering questions, because I believe in accountability. But I am not responsible for the crimes of my former husband. And I'm not going to apologise for somebody else's crimes!” www.thenational.scot/news/2615273...

When asked if she felt she is a victim of Murrell’s crime, Sturgeon told Kuenssberg she believes the SNP were the victims of his crime. (Contd.)

SNP spokesperson: “Clearly the strength of support for the party demonstrates that whilst SNP members are deeply betrayed by Murrell’s crimes, it will not diminish the depth of their belief and commitment to the cause of independence, and to the party of independence – the SNP.”

‘BBC Scotland has long been the subject of public criticism. The moniker itself was only created in 1968 when BBC Scotland controller Alasdair Milne changed the name on the front of the Glasgow West End headquarters. No change occurred in the structural relationship between Glasgow & London.’(Contd)

As the disgusting witch hunt goes on, a reminder of what she did for us: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/21/g...

My latest blog piece. Seeing the path ahead clearly. I won't be blogging much over the next couple of weeks due to health issues, but the Murrell scandal does not seem to be having the effect the SNP's enemies might hope. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/05/31/s...

'SNP donations soars after embezzlement scandal' The UK Unionist Establishment and their propaganda outlet the Press and Broadcasters are not taking it well. Their anti-independence -anti-SNP rhetoric hasn't cut through. So it blamed on a 'SNP cult like status' 1/ www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05...

Not an SNP member or automatic voter, but I'm tempted to make a donation just to piss of the dishonest metro-centric unionist corporate media. #Scotland #ScotlandsRightToChoose x.com/telegraph/st...

Something not to forget today: As Covid Inquiry reconvenes today, a reminder of just how FM, Nicola Sturgeon, and the Scottish Government kept excess mortality here at one third lower than the UK average, saving thousands, talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/02/16/a...

Both of which happen to be the same positions as Reform UK's. Why would anyone who doesn't care about either the living planet or distributional fairness vote for Streeting, rather than Farage? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m disgusted! But is there a possibility that Starmer & Reeves will be thinking of punching this Tory policy for the Labour manifesto? Only for Findlay & Sarwar to then start calling upon the Scot.Govt to adopt it as well? Go on, tell me it’ll never happen! www.thenational.scot/news/2615323...

Nicola Sturgeon has said the 'assumption' that she knew her estranged husband, former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, had bought many items with party funds is 'completely wrong' insisting she never saw many of the items mentioned in court documents

Nicola Sturgeon has said she is angry at the hurt and trauma caused by her estranged husband, former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, after he admitted embezzling more than £400,000 from the SNP

Scotland fans travelling to Miami for the World Cup clash with Brazil have been warned by the FBI not to go anywhere near the Hard Rock Stadium unless they have a ticket

Is it akin to working class folk and homosexuals who loved, supported and voted for Thatcher back in the day? Is Grimes and his ilk their descendants? Or is it something new, with more power than their Tory ancestors? Is it some form of self-loathing? I honestly have no clue… Baffling!

Farage likes to defend his party from ­accusations of far-right extremism by pointing to leading members and elected representatives who are gay. It was little surprise, therefore, that Grimes used his own homosexuality in attempting to justify his council’s attempt to undermine Pride, Mark Brown ✍️

Or, watch it on catch-up! www.broadcastingscotland.scot/full-scottis...

Tune in at 12:00 midday for this week's #FullScottish with @islabarker.bsky.social, Michelle Campbell MSP and @huwmarshall.substack.com discussing the week's top Scottish and international news, including #Ukraine, Middle East, #Indyref and energy. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/full-scottis...

This is a remarkable allegation. Reform UK is a party which seems to let just about anyone stand for election, apparently regardless of convictions for violence, racism, or Nazi tattoos. To be so awful you fail Reform UK vetting is quite something. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/...

Available now to watch on catch-up #BroadcastingScotland is a wee independent broadcaster and one I am happy to support Watch the broadcast from Scotland's Parliament followed by a discussion between myself and programme host, Elliot Johnston #ScotlandsRightToChoose #ScottishIndependence #IndyRef

Watched HIGNFY mocking NS's "no comment" responses without them understanding it's different in Scottish law where the right to silence is absolute and fully protected, yet in England it can be used to imply guilt. 5 years & £2m later & she had "no case to answer". Watching #BBC do this sickens me!
