Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

Climate experts are giving stark warnings about the climate emergency. It's time for the Scottish and UK governments to take action to tackle the climate crisis and cut household bills.

There's your problem right there John, "let us have another referendum" asking our so called equal partners for permission to have a referendum to possibly end this so called union of equals. #ScottishIndependence

Andy Burnham attacking thatcher for selling off the council housing stock, as Angela Rayner giddily applauds from the crowd. (Angela Rayner, and her husband, bought and sold 2 council houses)

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Dear unionists, the only way to measure a 'consensus' is to hold a an actual vote on the issue. What's the problem?

The leader of a UK government elected on 32% is telling a Scottish government elected on 36% that a 56% pro-Indy Scottish parliament can't hold a referendum that 68% of Scots want. UK democracy, ladies and gentlemen.

I agree with a lot of what Burnham said in his speech, it's certainly a bit more left leaning than any PM since before Blair but his stance on the union i disagree with completely, Scotland needs independence to fix all the big problems that being a part of UK has caused. #ScottishIndependence

More than 65% of Scots support a referendum. More than 65% of our Holyrood representatives support a referendum. That noise you hear is unionists trying to move the goalposts. Again.

Seems perfectly fine as long as the same special rule applies to the UK - only a party getting more than 60% voter support is allowed to stand for election.

There wasn't a social care crisis when local authorities provided the service free of charge. Then Thatcher privatised it and private equity bosses started charging £8000 a month.

Glad to hear Andy Burnham talking about building up Council house stock, it's long past time this was done and I think John Swinney could take a leaf out of his book on this, a lot of SNP voters are disillusioned ex Labour voters & Burnham is taking Labour back to some of it's socialist policies.

So the British Government's "GB Grid" will compete with the private companies that previous British Governments sold our publicly-owned national grids and distribution infrastructure to? Why not just re-nationalise our public assets? And it'll share GB Energy's funding 🤔

50%+1 was enough to keep us in this union so 50%+1 is enough to take us out because that's how democracy works. Stop trying to make your own boundaries hen, it's not democratic and it smacks of desperation. #ScottishIndependenceNow
