9 long years of hurt. Everything No stood for is gone. Torn out of the EU. Endless Tory austerity while the VIP lane laugh all the way to their yachts. A new monarch insisting on lavish ceremony while people can't afford food and heating.
We need change.
Independence is normal.

I do not know how this isn’t a major story across Scotland.
As far as I can see the National and the Scotsman are the only ones willing to report on it.
Clearly the Sun is more focused on Nicola Sturgeon’s Pizza, the Times criticising John Swinney in the USA and the Daily Mail is obsessing over MSPs genitalia to care about the Scottish economy
Scotland’s wind farms will pay £1 billion to connect to the UK grid.
Meanwhile, projects elsewhere in the UK will be paid to connect.
Scotland generates the energy. Scots should see the benefit.
ALT Graphic showing a wind turbine against a blue sky. Large text reads: “Scotland’s wind farms will pay £1 billion to use the UK grid.” Additional text reads: “While projects in the rest of the UK will be paid to connect.” The graphic highlights concerns about how electricity grid connection charges are applied, contrasting costs faced by Scottish renewable energy projects with incentives available elsewhere in the UK. SNP “It’s Scotland’s Energy” branding appears at the bottom.

If the Michelle Mone yacht worth £10 million is confiscated and the £148 million owed to taxpayers is 'paid back' that's £158 million right there in the defence pot.
Oh and let's not forget the £500 million owed in taxes by M'Lord Bamford.

Hoping Thomas Kerr is observing the Tartan Army enjoying themselves with all the Haitian "strangers", being welcomed with open arms by all the US "strangers".
We are a welcoming and a welcomed people. Reform and their masked thug followers are thankfully a small minority.

And THIS is the John Swinney we warned the country about - an arrogant, out of touch, political chancer who'll always prioritise strangers over Scots.
Your support for mass migration has had consequences.
So, own up to it, John and stop deflecting.

A TRILLIONAIRE AND BILLIONAIRES ARE SCREWING THE WORLD SENSELESS….
The laws are written by the rich, for the rich.
Billionaires have mastered a system that allows them to legally avoid paying income taxes while ordinary people carry the burden.

Wow and now into the final! Super strong display and seems like vintage Raducanu is back. Two matches in one day. Into the final without dropping a set. So happy for her.

Imagine how much money the Scottish treasury would have to spend on public services if you, and others, paid your own way from your basic salary, like everyone else does, when it comes to feeding your face?

Another interesting point on the BlackCore story is that we only know about it because the French Government went public on it. I would assume the UK Government will have known in advance, but curious that they've said nothing - at least that I can see - since the story broke.

"Why does Scotland have the highest rates of local misinfo on X by a mile?" I think we know why. They want to prevent Scottish independence because they want to continue to steal our resources.

88% of sex offenders in the UK are White British.
Why do reform only tweet about the brown ones?

Elon Musk could build hospitals. He could fund schools and universities. He could help eradicate diseases.
Instead he uses his wealth to fuel hate.

Elon Musk who is a trillionaire has paid total taxes of about $15bn.
A tax rate of less than 1.5%.
NOBODY except billionaires and trillionaires pay so little tax.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.

Wow, what a performance. Love it!
Scotland is on the world stage. Where else would our FM be? We are all proud of our country and this week even more so. Thousands of unpaid ambassadors on the streets of Boston and elsewhere. 💙🏴
