Thank you for seeing the bigger picture so quickly. As a Scot I’ve been immersed in these questions most of my life & sometimes it’s hard to see when you’re too close to something.

After living there for 18 months and learning more about the country than I knew from living in England, it's a no brainer. Scotland should be independent.

For 40 years I’ve thought Scotland should be independent & nobody has changed my mind.
It seems there’s a legal cork somewhere & when it’s pulled the flood of independence will not be stopped.

Scotland is 8% of the Uk. It brings in 60% of Uk fishing...but only gets back 7.7%. We are being mugged!

Independence is normal.

And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

Keir Starmer is pushing really, really hard for the introduction of Digital ID, flooding social media with promotion ads, ignoring the petition below through which 3 million have rejected his plan.

So, you have to ask - why? A short thread: 🧵

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Orkney Council has confirmed all profits from its new wind farm will go into local services - wealth will circulate locally, not flow to distant shareholders.

It's a glimpse of what community benefit from renewables can look like. But how typical is this?

Sorry @theipaper.com but WHY is this guy talking to us about what will make the UK poorer? He was happy to grenade our economy twice…
Brexit and then his batshit budget with Truss.
He should be in political oblivion for the mess he made and the price we all have to pay for his party’s failures.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
