Rora Dairy is an excellent example of how to make the most of a great brand story.

The yoghurt range is very high quality, with organic options too, using local ingredients where possible, all clearly highlighted with clear provenance.

Simple, honest, delicious, nutritious.

If we stopped giving our resources away for free, we could close every foodbank in Scotland tomorrow #EliminatePoverty #Independence

Rejected Tom Greatrex lost his seat to Margaret Ferrier in 2015. The message then was no to nuclear. It’s the same today especially as we’re capable of producing more renewable energy than we can use. The issue is how do we collect revenue and / or make energy cheaper from Scotland’s vast bounty.

NEW: A deal to allow Iceland to join the EU swiftly could pave the way for a relatively quick agreement for an independent Scotland, an expert has said

🗣️ 'If a country more than 10 times smaller than Scotland by population sees political benefits from being in the club, why wouldn’t Scotland?'

@thrivescot.bsky.social may be interested to know that the oil tanker Maran Antares is now unloading Scotland’s oil in China (Ningbo) having travelled almost half way around the globe. Surely an economic case to have it refined at Grangemouth just 15 miles up the Forth? #ScotlandsOil #Independence

The Union is on borrowed time: Yes camp must prepare for indy Starmer was a last roll of the dice for many voters. Once Starmer was deemed to fail – and fail so quickly – hope left the room.

Also check this PAC report from 2020 where over 50% of the stock was thought to be “unsatisfactory” and was already costing the tax-payer billions. Some of the evidence we took in terms of the competence of PFI companies was scary.

There were also reports of an additional £5bn for the HS2 extension into Euston…at the stroke of the Chancellor’s pen.

Imagine a world where electric boats glide silently across our waters, heralding a new era of innovation in Europe. 🌊

The “Envoy” has been appointed to the House of Lords. The Labour thinking is she can do more damage to Scotland from there. #It’sTime

The House of UnElectables.

We don’t need no greedy monarchy, we don’t need no London control, dark colonialism blocking our prosperity, hey Unionists, leave our kids alone.

As the previous Tory pensions minister in a Westminster Hall debate said “They (Waspi women) can get themselves an apprenticeship” - no change with a red Tory minister #NoChange #LabourOut

BREAKING: The Labour Government will not pay Waspi women any compensation.

Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said the proposed payments weren't 'fair or value for taxpayer money'

Zonal pricing for electricity is unlikely to happen as it would hugely advantage Scottish families and businesses. Currently we pay high energy prices to keep England’s lights on.

Poster highlighting that Denmark smaller than Scotland and with far fewer resources, is the 10th richest country in thew world and paid of its entire foreign currency debt in 2017.

So much of the opposition to Scottish independence seems to come from those who really feel that Scotland is incapable of doing what dozens of other countries do successfully. Why the inferiority complex? Something to do with being told that Scots are second-class Brits for 300 years?

Hello from Independence Forum Scotland to Bluesky!
We've been on X for a while, but we thought we'd also set up with the growing pro-independence community here.
You can read all about us at independenceforum.scot, but we'll follow up this post with a brief introduction anyway.

Good plan!

Great stuff!
