My latest blog piece. The shameful anti-SNP hysteria of the British media in Scotland even spins good news into SNPbad as we saw this week with the media response to the news that the pass rate for exams in Scotland has increased for a second year. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/e...

Even good news is spun into SNPbad by the media in Scotland

It’s often said there are two kinds of people in the world, those who say the glass is half full, and those who say it’s half empty. This is in fact inaccurate as there is a third kind,…

There's 1. glass half full people 2. glass half empty people and 3. OMG that glass is about to shatter into 1000 pieces slashing my carotid artery and it's the SNP's fault, people. The anti-independence media in Scotland is exclusively staffed by type 3.

What the hell is the BBC 6pm news doing leading with Farage's clickbait about using the Royal Navy to stop immigrants? An absurd soundbite from a tiny party with a disgraced leader and that's the most important news in the UK today? Dear God. The rot has truly gone deep.

🇬🇧 Dodgey Dougie, the man who Fraudulently claimed £12,000 of tax payers money in false expenses claims……but was dealt with ‘in-house’ at westminster, without reporting the Crime to the police Just image how it would have been dealt with had he been SNP 🤔 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

My latest blog piece, Burnham's mini bounce has less to do with Labour improving (spoiler alert it hasn't) and more to do with the immolation of Reform UK on a Clacton binfire of Farage's arrogance, greed and entitlement. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/08/01/b...

Every child deserves the best start in life, and every parent deserves somewhere to turn when times are tough. That’s why we’re investing £2 million in Children First to make sure help is there when it’s needed most, and help in our mission to eradicate child poverty.

Scotland’s appearance at the World Cup this year shows exactly what the competition should be all about - the fans. The idea that it could be sold off to private investors is unacceptable and I support UEFA’s action today. FIFA need to abandon these plans now. The World Cup must not be for sale.

Just wonderful to see Angharad Evans win another Gold for Scotland. What a swim. Well done Angharad, we are so proud! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Many are woefully ignorant of our history… We Promised! We Have Not Honored Our Promise!

The party the BBC in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland and British Government in London hate so much delivers lower child poverty and lower NHS waiting lists than England experiences. Surely these ought to be things to be happy about 🤷

Imagine if 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 had access to 🇪🇺 EU regional development funding and our government had the powers to make this happen. Independence would make this possible.

What’s changing on Europe’s roads? The EU is setting clear distances for alternative fuel infrastructure on major roads. 🔌 Cars: high-power charging every 60 km (by 2026) 🛻 Trucks & buses: charging every 120 km (half of main EU roads by 2028) 💧 Hydrogen: refuelling every 200 km (by 2031) Fantastic

Today’s statistics show that NHS long waits are coming down every month for over a year, and I have just announced extra funding to build on that progress. We will keep working to make it easier for you to get the care you need, when you need it.

From the perspective of the BBC in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland, any success by our government is NOT a matter of public information and must be hidden. The usual tactics are selective presentation of data, usually via a "friendly expert" with links to a London party. Currently it's the pilots of GP walk-in clinics.
