Just saying: Grangemouth Refinery spent decades keeping Scotland moving. Diesel was 24% of its output, supplying 65% of Scottish fuel. Then April 2025 hit. The UK Labour Government sat on its hands and let Scotland’s only crude refinery die. A catastrophic failure of energy security.

As a Scot, from the country in the UK which voted Remain but was dragged out anyway, A nation whose people have voted repeatedly for a 2nd independence referendum because Brexit exposed the lack of fairness and lack of democracy within the existing constitutional framework This is all infuriating.

“There's a very well-established set of definitions in law of what constitutes racism, so I don't think it's for party political conferences to decide what and what is not racism,” Swinney told the PA news agency. www.thenational.scot/news/2660732...

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...

Useful reminder as to why Brexit happened. It also explains why we will never be allowed to rejoin, unless you vote Green in England, SNP in Scotland or Plaid Cymru in Wales.

"How is it different ?" "Because i say it is OK" We will never get independence by asking the very people who are against it if we can pretty please have a vote on it, SNP needs to face this fact if it has any chance of getting us free of this prison of a union Some WM rules will need to be broken

Basically Labour's position is that until English voters support #ScottishIndependence we're stuck in this 'voluntary' Union. Watch as the inconsistency of EU re-engagement 10 yrs after Brexit & not accepting Scots have a right to hold another Referendum after 14 yrs plagues Burnham's premiership.

The Scottish Government manages its budget - restricted as it is and without borrowing powers - so that personal care, prescriptions, and university fees are provided without payment at point of delivery to the people of Scotland. And no charge is made for Westminster's heinous Bedroom Tax.

What Burnham said on social care: a “landmark policy, as significant as the creation of the NHS itself”. What he didn’t say: it would be based on the Scottish adult social care approach: free personal care, with individuals paying for accommodation. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
