Scotland & Ireland. Believer in the European Project. Brexit proves that Scotland needs to split from England. Same time as Northern Ireland perhaps?

New CBI report shows business investment in Scotland is at a 20-year high.
Despite damaging Westminster decisions like Brexit or Labour's tax on jobs, our economy has many strengths.
Imagine how much more we could do with the full powers of independence.

This morning, I’ll set out how independence is fresh start we need - putting Scotland’s wealth in Scotland’s hands.

Europe needs to show leadership in the world as the last democratic super-power. The USA is heavily integrated into European systems and quick action is required to cauterise Europe against American malfeasance.
With the new U.S. national security strategy (“NSC-88”), I think it is high time to ban Twitter in the EU altogether. At the very least, what the ever loving hell are our politicians doing there anymore?
They provide material for a system that will be used to attack us.

Putin has to be the most successful diplomatic strategist, spymaster and autocrat of all times. This is despite a weak economy hollowed out by his kleptocratic mates.

There has been significant concern over the UK Government’s National Insurance increases on employment. Despite that we have thankfully saw unemployment fall to 3.7% in Scotland. It has risen to 5% in the UK (ONS figures July to September).

The Trump National Security Strategy is bonkers in many ways but this objective stood out:
"Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations"
Making their strategy of supporting radical right and extremist parties explicit.

Exactly. Until the Supreme Court is changed, the Citizens United ruling overturned, the industrial levels of gerrymandering prevented, and the Electoral College reformed, there's always going to be a 50% chance that the US will elect another racist sociopath.

Scotland needs more carers, but Westminster is driving them away.
Labour’s hostile immigration plans and their tax on jobs are hammering Scotland’s social care sector.
With the fresh start of independence, we can build a migration system suited to our needs and interests.
