@johnswinney.bsky.social - the Scottish Currency Group are doing some great work helping to demystify and explore the issues around a post-independence economy. I hope this is something you and the SNP can openly support! scg.scot

Just think how the polls might look if the Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid, the official opposition & even the hundreds of new Labour MPs were given proper coverage?

You have that right. It shouldn't take the spectre of Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage, symptoms of our differing values, to motivate us. The case for independence is democratic. It's also about positive economic outcomes to finally benefit Scots mobilising our own resources through our own currency.

Here's a chance to ask questions and hear about why our own currency is fundamental to independence. Scotonomics is linking up with the Welsh Indy movement on this issue. Dr Thibault Laurentjoye who we have commissioned to do an in-depth report on currency & our economy also wrote one for Wales

Wow! Just look at this photo of the Milky Way taken by astronaut Don Pettit on the ISS. Taken with a homemade tracker to counteract the orbital motion. It kind of looks like an aurora, but that's actually just clouds just before dawn. The purple colour comes from nitrogen scattering sunlight. 🧪🔭

The dense stars and dust clouds of the Milky Way are visible, running vertically, in the top two thirds of the photo. At the bottom is the Earth, covered in clouds dimly lit by the pre-dawn sun. Running along the curve of the Earth is a hazy purple glow.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Scotland gets what England votes for, always does and always will. The only way to avoid another even more extreme right wing government is Independence. Reform: Labour: Tory: One or a coalition of any of the three is on the horizon. Wake up Scotland we are running out of time.

Is the UK Government only for England? The abandonment of Grangemouth, in comparison to saving an English steel plant would suggest it. Look behind Stephen Flynn at the sneering & contemptuous Reform UK MPs, they don't represent Scottish interests. Vote independence in '26
