It's clear to everyone that Brexit is a disaster for the UK economy. Unbelievably after Brexit destroying the Tories and Labour it appears th England are now preparing to elect Farage as PM, the very clown most responsible for Brexit. Scotland can have no part of this, Independence is the answer! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

Only if you discount GDP per person, which is the correct calculation. When you use that metric the UK is the worst performing in the G7.

Well said, most folk don't realise that. Some practices are more interested in various clinics than seeing patients because that gets them extra funding.

Playoffs it is, well done Scotland, we moan about performance but remember we were third seeds in a very tough group.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Two one leg playoffs I think we'll be at home for the first one but depends who we're drawn against.

YesScot1🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @yesscot1.bsky.social · 2d

That ship has sailed with Belarus at home next for Denmark. To be honest we've done very well to get to the playoff.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

YesScot1🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @yesscot1.bsky.social · 2d

No, it's goal difference so we've no chance to win the group with Denmark three up against Greece and only Belarus at home to come before us in Glasgow. It's playoffs for us, let's hope for the best draw possible.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Two and some very good team will be in there. If it happens we will need a very good draw.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Denmark one up, that'll do me if it finishes that way. I'm not overly confident getting anything in Greece. Denmark at home will also be a very tough night. A playoff might be our best chance, we look a long way off a World Cup team.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Zonal pricing (common in Europe) would save the UK Government billions per year in constraint payments but ruled it out because Scotland would have vastly cheaper electricity. That would encourage business to come here at the expense of England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The 'Scottish' media is, to a large extent, the campaigning arm of WM rule of Scotland. Between now & May 2026 it will spin every positive story about Scotland as a negative one, and where that's impossible, will not report positives at all. Try other sources.

The UK single market Act makes it illegal for ScoGov to block in Scotland any Westminster policy on the NHS or any other devolved area.
