Ed Miliband has been called out for a 'misleading' social media post which claimed Labour were 'delivering' a new wind farm in Scotland

Between now and the May26 Scottish general election we can expect much more of this sort of thing from Westminster. They'll claim positive Scottish policies as Westminster's work, and blame Holyrood and the SNP for their own failures, such as the closure of Grangemouth.

Seems that, especially for younger voters, Westminster's infamous Powergrab of Scotland's devolved powers is either forgotten or unknown. Perhaps this brief summary of the history may prove useful, though since this was designed the overruling of Holyrood by Westminster has got MUCH worse.

Well said 👏 @stephengethins 💯 spot on! “When govt is cutting budgets that will hit poorest in the UK with benefits cuts – and the most vulnerable in world with aid cuts – it is obscene that it continues to pursue an expensive and unnecessary hard Tory Brexit www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

No austerity under Labour.

The only choice left for Scotland is guaranteed impoverishment under a right wing pro-Brexit Labour party, far right English nationalist authoritarianism & destruction of the public sector under Reform/Tories or independence and rejoining the EU. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Will be updating soon to follow back those like-minded folk kind enough to follow us. In the meantime, here's a wee film about Stones of Destiny (yes, plural!) Enjoy! youtu.be/xZIhWMlJ9c8?...

Really good interview or rather, chat, between @shiny02.bsky.social & Alan Bissett that I think many pro-indy will greatly enjoy youtu.be/8IM9rfEFcVY?...

One of the joys of moving across to Bluesky has been the re-appearance of a few 'classic' articles, from years gone by, setting out the case for Scottish independence. Here's one that's getting a fair bit of exposure right now - well worth a read. pontifex.substack.com/p/scott-and-...

Even though the most practical way to cooperate and serve the national interest would be to return to freedom of movement, customs union, and single market. Total nonsense.

Whilst Scots shiver in an Energy rich country, where Energy is a reserved matter, here's another reminder to those against Scottish Independence that this is happening to our country you say is it's too poor & too wee 🙄

Join us at 12:00 midday for this week's #FullScottish with Martyn Day, Chris Stephens and Fiona Grahame discussing the latest Scottish and international news including #Ukraine, #Gaza, UK austerity, Scottish Budget and Scottish Government policies. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/full-scottis...

We should be extremely concerned about this in the run up to Holyrood '26. As uncomfortable a thought as it is there is a very good chance that unionist voters will see this mob winning seats. We don't need more politicians working against Scotland.

then they better start Backing the party who makes all of this possible or lose it all

There are two kinds of opponents to Scottish independence: Those who oppose it because of a strong, nostalgic attachment to what 'Great Britain' once was. All the rest is just 'The Cringe'.

It's a shame the speeches from Alex Salmond's memorial at St Giles seem not to be available to share on here 🧐 Go to our Twitter account @Yes_Linlithgow to see, Kenny MacAskill does not miss the mark of why Scottish independence is important.

A reflective St Andrews Day as we say goodbye to Linlithgow born Alex Salmond at a memorial service to be broadcast with zero irony by the BBC. What could have been, what must be. Independence will happen, the sooner the better for all of us but how? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🕯

Highlights how many in Holyrood content themselves by working against making Scotland a better country in favour of petty politics & harmful alliances. We can do better than this. We must do better than this. #ScottishIndependence #StAndrewsDay

Read the mcCrone report that labour buried. Also the redrawing of the lines in the North Sea! And the small matter of £1.5bn being returned to WM because labour couldn’t think of anything to spend it on! And of course the better together lies

Can we just be clear that if you want to be here and enjoy the positives that others in the rest of the UK don't have, then don't EVER vote for English based unionist parties at elections. They have and will continue to strip Scotland of devolved powers and assets. Okay dokay 👍

To all on this somewhat reflective St Andrews Day - "Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!"

Look at the results in recent by-elections & be vigilant. There are people in Scotland who feel that voting Reform is the solution to whatever grievance they have. Point is - this is what happens when the majority of parties in Holyrood are 'British' (ie English).

BBC Scotland has never in its history, been as conspiratorially biased in favour of the Union as it is now. It is worse now than in the run up to the 2014 referendum. It now no more than a dedicated and fully committed Unionist propaganda channel. (Repost if you agree.)

Ian Hamilton QC famously said: ‘I don’t know how long independence will take. But it’s no longer a tide. Tides go in and out. It’s now a river. When it will reach the sea is anybody’s guess.’ But it's not Scottish Nationalists killing Britain. Read my latest post indyvoices.info/who-killed-b...

Every Westminster Government has knowingly diverted tens of billions of pounds of Scottish revenues to Westminster. This has led to lower investment in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 higher unemployment, lower economic growth, lower standards of living, and growing inequality poverty www.businessforscotland.com/revealed_the...

Energy Prices go up another £21 in the UK. Down 10% in France. Down 6% in Australia. Down 4% in the USA. Ofgem are enabling the Energy Companies theft.

Huh. Tell us about it.

it's not Grangemouth they're shutting down it's Scotland they're trying to make escaping impossible

Now that Westminster has decided the Budget for England, Scotland must fit its spending to what its given. But you've never guess that this was the process...

Thanks 😁 Plenty more, as I’m sure you know, at indyposterboy.scot

Always the best graphics - clear & to the point. Plus easy to print at home. Get yer windaes sorted 🫡

Stunned and amazed…not. #Theygetwhatheyvotefor

The 1998 Good Friday Agreement has a explicit provision for a unification referendum built into it. The 2012 Edinburgh Agreement has no explicit provision built into it for future referendum on Scotlands own right to self determination. Another union benefit!

They give each other medals. They give each other awards. Of course 🤷‍♀️

'Unlike in many other democracies, such as Canada, Germany and Scotland, voters have no right to know who is lobbying opposition politicians in Westminster' How and why Labour is indulging the worst corporations on the planet for their growth obsession BS. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...

If Indy support reaches the (rather arbitrary, frankly) target of 60%, what happens then? Westminster won’t suddenly say, “Oh, alright, then, have your referendum.” What happens next? #IndependenceIsNormal
