Between now and the May26 Scottish general election we can expect much more of this sort of thing from Westminster. They'll claim positive Scottish policies as Westminster's work, and blame Holyrood and the SNP for their own failures, such as the closure of Grangemouth.
The bolloxs from Ed Milliband is outstanding and he needs to be pulled up on his deception.
How dare you fecking try to steal credit for others work.
Another Labour lie. Get Scotland out of this crooked Union 🏴

Seems that, especially for younger voters, Westminster's infamous Powergrab of Scotland's devolved powers is either forgotten or unknown. Perhaps this brief summary of the history may prove useful, though since this was designed the overruling of Holyrood by Westminster has got MUCH worse.

One of the joys of moving across to Bluesky has been the re-appearance of a few 'classic' articles, from years gone by, setting out the case for Scottish independence.
Here's one that's getting a fair bit of exposure right now - well worth a read.

Even though the most practical way to cooperate and serve the national interest would be to return to freedom of movement, customs union, and single market. Total nonsense.

NEW: Plaid Cymru have topped polling in Wales, beating out Labour for the first time since 2010.
The poll by Barn Cymru shows that Plaid would win 24% of the vote should an election be called, with Welsh Labour falling behind at 23%.

We should be extremely concerned about this in the run up to Holyrood '26. As uncomfortable a thought as it is there is a very good chance that unionist voters will see this mob winning seats. We don't need more politicians working against Scotland.
The craziest thing about this story? It’s all legal
Britain’s election laws are awful - as successive governments have been told this for years and done *nothing*
And Musk has shown that he is very, very willing to funnel cash to distort democratic politics…

There are two kinds of opponents to Scottish independence: Those who oppose it because of a strong, nostalgic attachment to what 'Great Britain' once was. All the rest is just 'The Cringe'.
