To folk elsewhere in the so-called “Union”: forget Reeves.

In Scotland we have the “game changing” Scottish Child Payment and the iniquitous 2CC will be binned here from March 2026.

If you really care about reducing child poverty where you are, and want to see what’s working, look to Scotland.

"St Andrew's Day is a fitting time to celebrate Scotland's identity by recognising Gaelic and Scots as official languages.
This is a historic milestone which acknowledges the vital place these languages hold in Scotland's culture and heritage."

See all those green circles? That's Scottish on- and off-shore wind generation, right now.

We generate more than we need. It's the cheapest way to generate electricity. And yet Westminster ensures that Scotland has amongst the highest energy prices in the UK/Europe.

The Saltire is considered to be the oldest flag in Europe, first used in 832. St Andrew's Day is our national day - when all of Scotland's people, no matter their origin, come together.

This year why not take the opportunity to look forward to a fairer, stronger, independent Scotland.

I see some politicians from English parties are still espousing trickle down economics as a justification for maintaining high levels of inequality.

Even if you just read the introductory section, read Picketty's 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺-𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘺 if you want this theory comprehensively junked.

Hyvä päivä ja kiitos Jaakko,

We already have a close association with the Arctic Council, as Scotland is now always invited to participate

Independent Scotland will definitely look to join the Nordic Council asap

If you were a New Scot who would you rather meet - John Swinney or Keir “Island of Strangers” Starmer?

Great to meet Afghan Scots children at Maryhill Burgh Halls and hear a lovely rendition of Robert Burns.

Not forgetting that ScotGov has been combatting child poverty for years whilst Westminster has been turning a blind eye.

There is nowhere in the Edinburgh agreement that uses that phrase or anything about the timing of another referendum at all.

138 cuerpos recién hallados en Huelva. Es aterrador y profundamente desalentador que cada semana aparezcan nuevas víctimas en fosas comunes, recordándonos que mientras el fascismo crece, la verdad de estas vidas sigue emergiendo.

Two things stand out about this picture:

1. a political leader embracing rather than demonising asylum seekers;

2. the beautiful clothes the Afghan girls are wearing, and which they are free to show in public.
It’s not where we come from that counts, it’s about where we’re going.

If we were independent, we wouldn’t be getting tapped for £200 million to help them build it.
