🚨 Our latest Scottish Parliament and Westminster polling ... Headline figures: - SNP far ahead with Reform closing in ... they're still predicted to get no Scottish MPs though - Big pro-indy majority at Holyrood, with 75 SNP and Green MSPs elected www.thenational.scot/news/2548936...

Thanks to SNP public ownership, Scotland has the lowest % of cancelled trains in the UK. 🚂👇

We're used to seeing Labour in third place in Scotland, bit what's interesting in this new poll is seeing how much the Scottish Greens have gone up on the list vote. They're matching Labour in third and not far off Reform in second. How good would an SNP 1, Greens 2 in vote share be.

The Maclean brothers have shown the world what Scotland is made of – resilience, teamwork, compassion. They rowed all the way across the Pacific, breaking records and raising over £1 million for clean water projects in Madagascar. Great to welcome them to Parliament today. 🤝

I see Sarwar and his Pantomime Dame have reared their heads again and once more it is to run down our wonderful NHS. What an awful pair.

How can you lead a "progressive fightback" against the far right when you've spent the entirety of your time as Prime Minister appeasing Nigel Farage, normalising his anti-migrant hatred, and sucking up to Trump? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

NEW: Alcohol deaths in Scotland fell to their lowest level since before the pandemic last year, figures show

There are two wonderful families who live next door to me. They have children who attend our local school. They contribute positively to our community. All 4 adults work in Social Care. Under a Farage government they are going to be thrown out. I want them to stay! Who will Reform come for next?

Farage and his Deform party are planning to take away people rights and remove permanent residency (retrospectively) 1000’s at risk , and would almost end immigration. This is dangerous and totally outrageous. He says this will save £230bn. Vote SNP get our independence and leave this twisted Union

SNP-run Falkirk council has only now succeeded in paying off Labour's PFI bill after 25 years, as its c£65m initial cost was bloated by pfi loan payments to more than 300m. Don't let Labour do it again. weownit.org.uk/act-now/new-...

BBC doing to Ed Davey/Lib Dems/🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Greens what they've done to the SNP for years There was no outcry except for us gob shite 'nats' because the BBC was/is batting for Westminster based Parties. Maybe if more people hadn't looked away over BBC bias, then maybe Farage wouldn't now be played on a loop🙄

Farage is a dangerous man who is now proposing deporting people who have lived here and paid tax here for decades. How about he just tell us why his French waitress was able to buy an £800,000 house instead!

Reform is racist. Let’s just say it. Loudly and often. They’re racist. Don’t take them on on how they plan to fund their nonsense. They don’t care. They don’t say it because they’ve worked it out. They say it for headlines and for voters who want prejudice as policy. They’re racist. They’re failure.

It’s inevitable that Reform will eventually come for naturalised citizens soon. They’re in full brutality mode now, fed and watered by Starmer’s govt & the BBC, Sky and the London press Scotland: we need to vote our way out of this rotten Union before the next UK election or we’ll live to regret it

Everybody should've learned about Bertrand Russell in school, but we didn't because he was a critically thinking philosopher who challenged every notion he encountered, and that's not an efficient way to create obedient worker drones.

False claim online that London mayor plans to build 40k homes 'for Muslims only' fullfact.org/politics/fal...

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

David Lammy, in response to the calls for an investigation into Morgan McSweeney, says "I really don’t believe that there’s anything to see here". Do the police get to make their own decision? If not, Nicola Sturgeon missed her chance a few years back. With just a few choice words...

Farage’s plans to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain would ruin lives and tear families apart. Rather than dismissing Reform’s xenophobic proposals as 'unrealistic' or 'unaffordable', our government should be clear that they are cruel and unjust. We must stand up for migrants' rights.

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

BBC Good Morning Scotland was at it again this morning. Carole Ford was on the programme attacking the Scottish Gov over education but wasn't identified as a former Lib Dem candidate. Ford was also a Better Together voice during the 2014 Indyref campaign. The BBC needs to be politically neutered.

Farage: "All over the world, you apply for a work visa - that visa is for you. Not to bring your family... That is how a normal work visa works." Entirely untrue. Most work visas allow dependents, including in countries that the UK competes with for labour - US, Canada, Australia and 27 EU states.

How politically neutral is the think tank 'Enlighten' that's all over BBC Scotland today attacking Scottish education and the Scottish Govt? This clip of Peter Mandelson, who was invited by Enlighten Chair Jack McConnell to give a speech last year, might help you. (MSM Monitor) youtu.be/Foem4iLMbqg

Decisions about Scotland are best made in Scotland. If we want to safeguard our whisky industry, protect jobs and grow our economy, we need to speak for ourselves – not leave it to Westminster governments that won’t put us first. Independence is the fresh start we need. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scotland is on the right side of history 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇸🍉

My mum has lived in this country for 53 of her 76 years. She came her from France and has lived, worked and had her family here. She is now a pensioner and doesn’t deserve to feel the kind of future-ruining fear and anxiety Farage is causing. This must be resisted, we all need to step up!

How about "Get tae fuck!" Boycott Diageo drinks! #IsleOfSkye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

This would have a direct impact on my family, thousands of other low and middle income families, absolutely decimating the UK and the lives of everyone involved. The UK will become a hollow, selfish shithole if Farage wins any kind of power. I'll fight tooth and nail to stop it from happening

If we vote Unionist next year we will finish up with a Fascist Westminster and no alternative. Please take note that no country has rid itself of a fascist regime without violence. We cannot allow ourselves to be left in this situation. We have another option - use it or lose it.

Keir Starmer: "This death and destruction horrifies all of us" So you'll stop all arms exports to Israel? No So you'll halt all trade? No So you'll impose sanctions on the Israeli govt & economy? No So you'll end all military ties? No. So its just empty words.

The Scottish Tories have been branded 'ridiculous' after they criticised a Holyrood committee agreeing to undertake an inquiry into legal mechanisms to trigger an independence referendum

Don’t you find it a bit strange that 85% of parties that can field candidates in Scottish local and national elections aren’t actually based in Scotland? #IndependenceIsNormal

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

When billionaire James Dyson says “it’s okay to be poorer,” he's speaking from a place where being poorer means one less luxury jet, not losing your roof. For workers, being poorer doesn’t mean freer; it means constrained by debt & overtime. #r4today #BBCBreakfast #GMB #SkyNews

Welfare reform 'must happen', UK minister says. Silence on corporate welfare. For example, Drax makes profits but gets subsidies. Silence on tax perks of the rich. Capital gains and dividends taxed at lower rates than wages. Welfare reform is a code for squeezing the poor, old, sick, disabled.

When children are shot and killed at schools across the US, the usual responses are, thoughts and prayers. The funeral of a white supremacist however. The US, putting white supremacy first since 1619.

who, like WE Sovereign Scots wants SCOTLAND FREED from strangling foreign English Colonialist dominance FREE TO BREATHE AGAIN AS SCOTLAND as the Nation SHE/WE were always meant to be In 2026 VOTE LIBERATE SCOTLAND Independence umbrella candidates & give them right to UNSHACKLE SCOTLAND & WE SCOTS

This is what real Scot’s look like. Welcoming, compassionate and empathetic.

Labour pledged to reduce household energy bills. Labour lied!

58% say YES to Scottish independence. That’s not a fringe—it’s a majority. Yet Westminster clings to economic control while Scotland fuels the UK’s energy, whisky, and exports. Independence isn’t a dream—it’s overdue. #Scotland #IndyRef2

Now here’s a responsible & caring approach:
