Did anyone have trouble seeing the SNP political broadcast on the BBC? We have Virgin and BBC1 was "unavailable" for the exact 5 minutes John Swinney was on. Strange. #SNP

I suppose Rayner can now sell her posh flats in Glasgow, her Chelsea mews house and £19m London townhouse, plus her yacht, while she works out how to get the National Crime Agency to unfreeze £75m of her assets.

My bad, that's Michelle Mone.

I know this because I have just been in hospital. Scottish NHS was wonderful.

Pigs do fly. The Daily Record has endorsed the SNP in next week's Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse by election as the only party that can defeat the "I'm not racist but..." party of Farage.

By-election vote is now a fight for Scotland’s soul
This contest should have been centred on the mainstream issues of concern to local voters.

Angela Rayner didn't want Scottish newspapers at her campaign visit today, but we went to try and ask her some questions.

It was a pretty messy afternoon. 🥀

If you live in Hamilton, Larkhall or Stonehouse, and Labour bothers to doorstep you, ask them what happened to all there big pledges. Every promise, backed by their journalist chum at the Record, has turned out to be guff.

That's the level of insanity some folk have reached. It's not anti semitic to call a country out for commiting genocide when it's commiting genocide. They can feck right off!
People in Gaza are collecting up bits of their children like meat from a butcher's floor, torn to pieces, limbs, torsos, heads and placing the body pieces in empty flour sacks.
If we criticise the Israelis who dismembered and killed these children, we are anti semite. We are the monsters.

Can there be any more irresponsible practice than burning carbon rich peat moors to make sure they remain clear for the ultra rich to play at being country folk as they shoot captive bred animals for sport.

Reform is a Limited Company

Farage owns 53%

It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”

It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget

It wants to privatise the NHS

& invest in fossil fuels

Close the BBC

& break International law

It’s a scam

Please retweet widely

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

Rachel Reeves only needed to promise a mere £3m for the Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry & could have claimed to be working to boost the Scottish economy, but she didn't. It's hard to escape the conclusion this Labour Govt just isn't very good at politics.

Why didn't Rachel Reeves bag this easy Scottish win for just £3 million?
CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves supported a number of major infrastructure schemes in a speech on growth yesterday ...

This has been a difficult decision.

We will leave our Meta accounts live, but unused, with signposts to Bluesky where we work for #ScottishIndependence

We are on Mastodon but it is clunky with little reach. It is not great, to have our social media just on one platform.

Join the resistance....

UK Labour's Scottish Branch Manager, Anas Sarwar today announced a 'New Direction'. The latest polling from Deltapoll confirms what that direction is.
Having started 2024 10 pts ahead, UK Labour finished the year 18 pts behind the SNP.
Meanwhile Reform UK (no support in Scotland) overtake the Tories

"Fair and fast compensation" Starmer promised. 😡
📷: What changed?

This is Keir Starmer pictured at Scottish Labour conference in 2021 with two Waspi campaigners holding a sign saying he supports "fair and fast compensation" for 1950s women.

Today, four years later, and as PM, he gives them nothing ...

Anas Sarwar made and broke a promise to Waspi women and Shirley-Anne Somerville kept the receipt. "Under my leadership....." What a joke! 😂
