Reasons for independence No. 1: without it, watch as WM use Scotland as a dumping ground for all the nasties, whilst pillaging our resources. I say ‘watch’ because, without Indy, we can do nothing about it!

Charity is asking Scottish Government for 'radical change' to tackle child poverty. Cost of electricity and gas, cost of petrol/diesel, food, mortgages,rent. None controlled by the SG. The Child Payment is controlled by the SG and is the reason why child poverty in Scotland is far less than in rUK

There are always receipts. Although, ultimately, the argument the Union needs to make( good luck) is why it is acceptable for a country to be deprived of the right to choose whether they want self determination or have that right held by another.

So, as promised, bang goes the triple lock on pensions. Pensioners will now see the fixed income fail to keep up the cost of living( the reason why it was introduced in the first place) and now the elderly will not just be cold in the winter because they choose food over heat, they’ll be hungry./

Got an unsolicited letter from ONS saying we’d been selected to take part in a survey for UK. Letter phrased to suggest we must take part(we don’t). Got another today to say that if survey incomplete by 4/10, they would send someone round to talk to us about it. Good luck with that!

BBC keeping this quiet. Thanks to Private Eye & FT. The Ajax tank MoD programme has been way-over budget & delayed for yrs & the armed vehicles are too noisy for humans to operate. The whole programme has been expensive & useless. Now German & US robotics expertise may rescue an expensive shambles.

The £72 m received by Reform UK from 2 billionaires is over 5 times the £14 m in private donations made to the SNP since the establishment of Holyrood in 1999. Democratic politics is not sustainable when the playing field can be warped in favour of the far right to such an extent by the super-rich.

Just remember, whenever anyone quotes Scotland's GDP based on GERS, that only includes an 8% "national share" of revenue from areas that Scotland dominates - like the drinks sector and renewable energy. Areas where we'd keep ALL the revenue after independence.

They are a great exemplar. But sharing the currency was a disaster, specifically for Slovakia as the smaller of the two economies. As in the Scotland rUK situation decisions were made to suit the needs of the Prague economy, not the Bratislava one. 1/2
