Independence for Scotland is what I desire. If you don't want that, then I have no time for you or your opinion. You will be ignored and blocked. Yes yoons, that means you. No unsolicited DM's as that's an instant block.

With the Tories' foolish announcement to revisit the Scotland Act and claw back powers from Holyrood, Badenoch has killed off the 'once in a generation' claim as well as the assertion that the issue of independence was settled in 2014. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/07/b...

My latest blog piece, emboldened by a lack of media accountability. The Tories like Reform and Restore, have crossed the Rubicon, destroying a key Better Together promise, and are openly calling for powers to be stripped from the Scottish Parliament. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/06/t...

The UK's state pension is not generous compared to others in Europe. Older people relying on the state pension have to get by on barely over £1000 a month. Andy Burnham’s plans to end the triple lock are unacceptable, morally wrong and the SNP will stand against them.

Burnham has destroyed two of the main arguments of the Westminster parties. He's pensioned off the claim that Scottish state pensions can only be protected in the UK and by opening the door to an EU referendum he's blown up the argument against indyref2. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/02/b...

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.
