Was a Maths teacher, then a ceramicist, recently retired so that I can be a hobby crafter. I’m a Scot born in England, pro Scottish Independence, pro-EU, Internationalist, Green, fearful of creeping fascism.

The Scots looked from Labour to Tory, and from Tory to Labour, and from Labour to Tory again; but it was impossible to say which was which. Why then do we continue in this miserable condition because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by the Westminster Establishment!

Just think how much more could be achieved if we were independent of Westminster 🤷🏼♀️
Child poverty in Scotland has fallen to its lowest level in three decades, with both absolute and relative rates continuing to sit well below the UK average. For 2023–24, those rates were 22% and 17% respectively – 9% lower than the UK’s 31% and 26%

If Westminster cannot say what the mechanism is that we can use to leave, Then it is tantamount to a hostage situation.
