Remember, it's bad when Scotland seeks investment from China.

But clever and sensible when the UK does it. Even when they prevent legal proceedings against their intelligence assets, allegedly.

I bet there are a number of the unionists in Wales who would rather see an extreme right wing Reform in government than Plaid

Can anyone remember when Baroness Mone stated she would move her business out of Scotland or when Westminster told Scotland needed to stay in the UK to remain in the EU or we were Better Together or even UK was OK
What was the bigger lie?

And when there is another EU Referendum do you think Westminster will acquiesce to an Independence Referendum

SNP have been voted in by the Scottish people despite the UK gov using all the levers they can to try and stop any indy party being able to have a majority. As soon as any UK party get a hold of Holywood it will be dismantled mark my words fellow Scots. Dinnae be daft vote SNP

Scotland's No1 Comrade @scotlandscomrade.bsky.social · 1d

The current rhetoric from Labour is that they see themselves best placed to stop another SNP term of office as 19years of SNP governance has been enough.

Contrast that argument that since 1708 we have been dominated by unionist rule from Westminster that currently has NO majority within Holyrood.
