The Scottish Government wants to avoid reforming Council Tax — Common Weal A briefing of the Scottish Government’s consultation on Council Tax reform, what’s missing from it and why it has been published now, just months before the next election.

'The Council Tax is outdated, unfair and needs to change. The argument of that fact was won more than a quarter of a century ago.'

Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day and he thinks Farage is the right man to sort Britain out. He says he reminds him of one of the commanders he fought alongside with distinction. In the next few weeks he's going to auction off his medals and donate all the money to Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?

Absolute perfection. #Reform

Gorgeous 😍 That brought back a lot of memories. Haven't been down that way for years. Although we skirted around the north of Kintyre on a motorcycle trip last year. Ended up in Kilmartin Glen, if you get a chance, go there, incredible history.

I love the idea of a "Celtic" Union. We'd need to speak to Cornwall, Brittany and Galica too 😆

Ah, Kintyre, as a child, I spent all my summers there. My parents had a caravan at Tayinloan. Stunning! Who needs a car anyway 😆

Thats very kind Andrew 😁 You should consider moving up, if you can. We need more people like you up here!

Scottish Labour MPs and MSPs stayed silent on US whisky tariffs, FOI reveals NOT one single Scottish Labour MP or MSP pushed the UK Government to get a better deal for Scotch whisky ...

This war is not about “drug trafficking.” It’s about overthrowing a socialist government so the U.S. can install a puppet regime & control Venezuela’s oil

Are you with me on this

So, Britain is broke. In 2014 Scots were told, vote No and be protected by the broad shoulders of the UK. Fool me once......

Remember, if you vote Labour rather than Green, you'll let Reform in 😁

Far from keeping stum about our currency options it's vital that we address the issue that was a glaring achilles heel in 2014.

Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.” The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.” The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Given the SNP decided that only a vote for them would provide a mandate for another referendum - are they really putting the country first? They've lost my vote, thats for sure.

'Blatant bias': BBC under fire over double standards for Question Time panel

BBC Question Time has come under fire after describing a Reform UK campaigner on its panel as an 'academic' – while labelling a left-wing academic an 'activist'

Nothing compared to 300+ years of anti-Scottish rhetoric we've had to endure. "The Scots are all drunks", "The Scots are uncivilised", "The Scots are too stupid to run their own affairs", "Scots isnt an actual language". This diminishing of our worth has an enormous effect on the national psyche.

I have a deep distrust of the British State. From the troubles in Ireland, to the illegal wars in the middle east, to the funding of genocide in Gaza, to denying Scots a referendum - I have no interest in blaming the citizens of England for these decisions, only Westminster. Bella Ciao ✊️

fucken what?

So why conflate Scottish Nationalism with Anglophobia? Its a cheap trope, used to undermine legitimate causes.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Once again, for those hard of hearing, we are not fighting the English, we are fighting Westminster. Are you one of these folk that conflates Judaism with antisemitism too? Cheap, simple and baseless.

I see Survation are up to their old weighting tricks again. The sample of 2014 No voters has been increased from 474 to 752; an increase of 59%. The Yes sample has been reduced by the same amount. Hey Presto! A sample with 23% No voters becomes one with 37% No voters.

What a load of bollocks!
