Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

More repressive and reactive proposals from @labouruk.bsky.social

Like its Tory predecessor characterised by one ill-conceived policy after another. Given who they’re taking their lead from internationally, it comes as little surprise…

And unlike Starmer and Labour @johnswinney.bsky.social @snp.org @scottishgreens.org @zackpolanski.bsky.social & @eddavey.libdems.org.uk amongst others have all demonstrated that there is still some moral courage amongst our politicians!

Politics is not like selling biscuits, where the task is to find out what people like & flog it to them.

It's a moral activity. It's about arguing for the things you believe in. It's about *shaping* the "median voter".

Farage has moved the centre-ground of politics. His opponents can move it back.
