Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

A car rear view mirror. A road sign is visible reading "Independence".

Scotland could expect to separate from the UK and become an EU member within seven years (or less) of its Declaration of Independence. How?

What if a billionaire decided (s)he wanted Scotland to regain independence? What should the big spend items be to ensure they got their way, and how much would they cost? Much less than you might think...

What if a billionaire wanted Scotland to regain independence?

Sometimes billionaires get bored with having "amassing money" as their sole purpose in life. They start to think their success in this activity somehow entitles them to dip their toes into politics.

Let’s ignore the usual incomplete source for understanding Scotland’s public finances (GERS) and start again from the basic data. Then how well does Scotland look for independence? The answer's very healthy!

Many groups want PR in Westminster. But it only benefits England. Here's why. For an inclusive democracy we need independence.

PR in Westminster only benefits England

Organisations like the Electoral Reform Society constantly campaign for the introduction of Proportional Representation. But it will only benefit England. Here’s why.

There's a strong possibility that, despite his unpopularity in Scotland, we'll have this joker thrust on us as the next British PM. Only independence can stop this failure in democracy.

With all the powers of independence we would be able to prevent people like this coming on state visits. As part of the UK, Scotland has no say.

We're still recovering from seeing the BBC covering yesterday's independence march - and without any of their usual "balance"! Were the usual BBC Shortbread team deliberately excluded?

“The Scottish Parliament which we elect in May 2026 will be… sitting when the next Westminster general election comes around. That is why it is imperative that next year, Scotland elects… a pro-independence majority. We may never get another chance.”

Scotland’s last chance to escape English nationalism

Many of us were amongst the thousands at the All Under One Banner March for Independence in Edinburgh. When it comes to Scotland regaining its independence, we're all under one banner - with one cause, as Calum Kerr explains.

Scotland's NHS delivers many more GPs than Labour in England and Wales, despite Westminster austerity. Imagine what we could achieve with independence!

NHS Scotland's A&E performance has been better in Scotland than under Labour or the Tories in England and Wales before AND after COVID.

To get back to earlier performance we'll need to regain independence and ditch Westminster austerity.

The BBC's flagship TV channel for Scotland mostly broadcasts filler - no surprise it's hardly ever watched. Broadcasting needs to be controlled by our own Parliament, not Westminster and its quango Ofcom.

Do you feel Scottish, Welsh - or British? It depends on whether you're in Scotland, Wales - or England. No wonder the British media think Britain and England are the same thing...

Based on the BBC's own core "purpose" it fails half the audience in Scotland. Scotland needs to control its own broadcasting.

From a Scottish (and Welsh) perspective the "British state" and "England" are inseparable . In fact a large majority in England say they only identify as "British" (see 👇). This results from England's complete dominance of the union.

Scotland is in a constitutional "doom spiral". How do we break out of it with a real plan for independence?

Whose priorities do MSPs represent? Yours; the British governments - or those of a British party?

Shouldn't it ALWAYS be yours?
