The UK Government MOD 'UK Nuclear Submarine Dismantling Project' a world first ( wonder why? ) It's extraordinarily hazardous to extract the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) intact from the submarine's hull without cutting up the reactor insitu or burying the entire middle section of the submarine. 1/
Every day, the SNP as the Scottish Government acts as a shield, protecting the people of Scotland from the worst fallout of Westminster’s short-sighted choices. https://www.snp.org/scotland-one-of-safest-places-in-world-say-bbc/
Scotland ‘one of safest places in world’, say BBC — Scottish National Party
The evidence on justice is in, the results are clear, and the conclusion is inescapable: Scotland makes better decisions when Scotland decides for itself.

Unionist Party policy announcements regarding Scotland are driven on one premise. What will go down well with the English Electorate (that's the voter segment that wins general elections) The more robustly, arrogantly and autocratically they kick Scotland the better it will go down.
The National@scotnational.bsky.social · 3d agoA Tory pledge to take powers away from Scotland is not really an offer to Scottish voters at all. It is an offer to Reform-leaning voters in England, writes Xander Elliards ✍️ 👉 www.thenational.scot/news/2...
Are you listening #AndyBurnham ? Or is the Labour party Bain policy preventing you from acknowledging and adopting yet another SNP success story ? If its good enough for the Swedes to study why isn`t it good enough for rUK ? We need indy and we need it now.

Our thoughts are with all those at BBC Scotland at this difficult time upon hearing this news. Banked editorials, analysis, and interviews together with booked appearances from the appropriate people primed with the desired narrative - Binned!
John Swinney@johnswinney.bsky.social · 5d agoI am pleased that agreement has been reached on equal pay between the unions and Glasgow City Council. Thanks to DFM @jennygilruth.bsky.social for her intensive work and to all parties involved for their constructive engagement in this process.
'When an independent free press fails a country, its democracy is imperilled, and that is the risk that we are seeing. People have lost faith not only in their politicians, but in the media too, and the consequence is very dangerous.' Richard Murphy
The media is changing – and that threatens democracy
I noted over this summer that we appeared to be having a traffic downturn on this blog and elsewhere. I discussed this with other people I know who publish online, and also with some people in the mainstream media, and was told that the trend was universal. An increasing alienation...

This 'Not you Scotland' by the UK Government no matter what referendum they decide to revisit ain't going to stick and it is going to piss off a lot of 'Don't knows' and 'Soft knows' As for 'Once in a generation' the exact same thing was messaged by both Boris Johnson and David Cameron. 1/

The UK doesn't need to downgrade the triple lock, or cut benefits like PIP for disabled people because a #WealthTaxNow HMRC funded to catch all millionaire tax evaders and 1950s style progressive #TaxTheRich could end all poverty, homelessness, NHS underfunding ... meme via Left Wing UK II

Burnham's English Personal Care Plan. It will be partly funded by scrapping the pension triple lock. This includes Scottish pensioners who already have a Personal Care Plan. On the face of it Scotland would get the appropriate Barnett fund adjustment. But! - 1/

Scottish Self Determination. The positions of the two factions, namely Unionists and Independents, dictate what happens; the constraints and the options available to both sides has to be understood if there is to be progress. 1/
The leader of a UK government elected on 32% is telling a Scottish government elected on 36% that a 56% pro-Indy Scottish parliament can't hold a referendum that 68% of Scots want. UK democracy, ladies and gentlemen.

The BBC and other national news outlets continue to report, daily, even the smallest, non lethal, Russian attacks on Ukraine. Yet. There are between 5-15 Palestinians murdered each day by Israeli forces, yet this mostly goes unnoticed and unreported. This is disgraceful.
56% Holyrood Indy majority 67% Holyrood on right to vote 68% voter referendum support 52% voter Indy support Sounds like a 'consensus' to me, Andy Burnham. (P.S. Labour's 'mandate' to govern UK was just 32%)
