They promise much & deliver little. Only an independent government can properly respond to our needs. His recent speech was about England mentioned Scotland twice and one time was about GB energy being in Scotland. They just want our resources they are not interested in Scottish people. Saor Alba

My latest blog post. John Swinney fires the starting gun on the push for independence. Tuesday's Holyrood motion demanding the power to hold an independence referendum be devolved to Holyrood is the opening salvo in an issue that's not going away. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/05/22/j...

It's pretty clear now. If Scotland wants to be back in the EU, the only route is for us to join after we've regained independence. Which, by my reckoning, would take no more than seven years (including our own referendum). Here's how: open.substack.com/pub/yesinpic...

Every time living standards fall, Nigel Farage blames migration. And every time, Keir Starmer nods along. People are struggling with the cost of living and blaming migration won’t fix that. Scotland deserves better - a fairer, wealthier, welcoming future with independence.
