Scotland is a nation that hosts 4 political parties solely dedicated to maintaining the rule, exploitation, & domination by a Westminster parliament that holds Scots in contempt. This truism is exposed through the inequality enshrined within the lie that is "Better Together"!

Israel kidnapped 211 European Nationals this morning 1,000km from Israel, for committing the great crime of trying to bring food to Gaza where people are dying every day from starvation. You won't see this on the news though, and no major politician will mention it.

With a leaked Labour government memo revealing Starmer's plans to override the devolved governments and impose is will on Scotland and Wales even in devolved matters, devolution has run out of road. It's independence or incorporation into a unitary UK. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/03/10/d...

An #SNP1SGP2 vote in May could be a triple whammy. It has the potential to . . . 1) Maximise pro-Indy seats 2) Reduce Unionist MSPs 3) Prevent Reform winning enough seats to be the official opposition. We've got just 8 weeks to get that information out to voters. #Scotland #Holyrood26
As a new poll puts the SNP within striking distance of winning a majority in May's Holyrood election and projects Reform UK as the largest anti-independence party, the choice facing Scotland has never been starker, Scottish independence or British fascism. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/18/t...
The choice facing Scotland is independence or fascism.
A major new poll was published on Wednesday which confirms other recent polls in showing that Scots are on track to elect a pro-independence majority to Holyrood in May’s election. Even bette…

Bit of good news The Scottish parliament voted to install swift bricks into all new builds in Scotland Introduced by Scottish Green MSP @markruskell.bsky.social and a nationwide campaign led by @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social The Labour Govt bottled it in England out of fear of Reform UK Ltd
Swift bricks to be installed on all new buildings in Scotland as MSPs back law

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

The more people who vote SNP first and Scottish Greens second, the more pro-independence seats will be won and the fewer Unionist seats will be secured. 👍
John M 🏴🇪🇺@drjohnm61.bsky.social · 10mo agoThis is the mathematics based on current polling. This is his we can get an extra 22 Indy MSPs (and consequently 22 fewer unionists)
'Outcomes for those passing through Housing First programmes have almost without exception delivered better outcomes for participants than the services available to them before they entered the programme.' @thecommongreen.scot, via Common Weal
If you want to end homelessness, give people a home — Common Weal
A new study from the Social Market Foundation presents the results of several Housing First pilot schemes, including one in Scotland, and finds that providing free housing to people suffering homelessness results in better outcomes than current services and is cheaper than not doing it.

We have to ask ourselves how we respond to a real powerful racist threat now. Do we hope it will go away? Do we allow a deal to be signed behind closed doors to sell off our country to racist-in-chief Donald Trump? I say we show our strength & solidarity #r4today
Stop Trump Coalition@ukstoptrump.bsky.social · 11mo agoYesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.
