So Rachel Reeves' big infrastructure investment to boost the Scottish economy is...

...drum roll...

...a third runway at London Heathrow Airport.

Nothing for Wales or Northern Ireland either.

They're not even bothering to hide their Anglo-centric contempt for the rest of the UK.

The Scottish Parliament has just unanimously called on the UK government to compensate WASPI women, which the UK Labour government refused to do.

The SNP has stood with the WASPI women for years, and we will stand with them until justice is delivered.

A Dictionary of the Languages of Scottish Travellers - The Bottle Imp During the early summer of 2011, while revising the Concise Scots Dictionary, I was searching for a word I knew to be of Traveller origin. I was searching The Scottish Traveller Dialects by Jess Smith...

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

We were in @broadcastscot.bsky.social studio yesterday. Getting some advice for a filming project we’ve taken on. As ever a very generous response from Linda. She has created an excellent setup. She needs people to make the best use of it.

We’ll be recording this event! Really looking forward to it. This Sunday 2pm, Hillhead Library. If you haven’t read Mary McCabe’s two novels they are “Stirring the Dust" & "Two Closes and a Referendum".

I extend my warmest thanks to everyone at CalMac Ferries for ensuring that MV Glen Sannox was able to enter service today, and to start the important work of serving our island communities.

Also Scotland is the home of football taken worldwide by the Scottish Professors

Good morning IDK

YouTube video by John Swinney Here’s why eradicating child poverty really matters to me.

Eradicating child poverty is an investment in our people, not a cost to be borne.

SNP policies like the Scottish Child Payment are already keeping an estimated 100,000 children out of poverty.

Our Budget will do more by acting to lift the two-child limit.

The proper (and official) name for Greenland is Kalaallit Nunaat, it's the only territory in North America where an indigenous language is the sole official language. Its population is 90% Inuit. I'm sure they are feeling terribly reassured by how the USA has treated its indigenous inhabitants.

Another valuable article to further the case for Scottish Self Determination.
Good work Prof! much appreciated
