As do I. Whitelees in Eaglesham. The biggest onshore windfarm in the UK.

Scots pay highest bills in the UK

The absolute con, that is the ‘national grid’, that the cost of sending Electricity generated in Scotland, down to England, is charged onto Scottish consumers.
Add that & the Ofgem racketeering, adds further costs to Scots because England still uses gas turbines.

Digital ID will put UK on a dangerous path – just ask India I spent years reporting on digital IDs like the Brit Card. This is what I found

BREAKING: Police have confirmed they shot two innocent people during the Manchester synagogue attack. Obviously, this means we have no choice but to ban people from protesting against the Gaza genocide x

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has called for pro-Palestinian protests to be cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Manchester attack, but the government is not cancelling its arms shipments to Israel as a mark of respect for the victims of genocide x

Is nobody on here talking about Israel just giving Tommy Robinson/Stephen Yaxley-Lennon an invitation to visit as one of the best friends of UK Judaism?

Why am I not surprised DRoss cares more about his own fun than ppls misery 🤔.

Britons? As in folk who live in England?

You’re having a laugh!!

Fucking hell, the Herald has absolutely lost its mind.

I'm sure the SNP will be disappointed to lose all those loyalist voters

Your Party co-leaders in row as Sultana accuses Corbyn of running ‘sexist boys’ club’ Jeremy Corbyn warned an email inviting Your Party supporters to sign up for paid memberships was ‘unauthorised’

Word on the ground is that all the left leaning kids have switched to the Greens anyway.

I'm completely unsurprised about this.

Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn appear to have disagreed over the timeline of a membership process.

🤣

British politics is saved!

Yes groups across Scotland call for action to lower energy bills

@yesforeu.bsky.social will join the action on Saturday 11am-1pm on the Meadows, in collaboration with Yes Marchmont & Morningside.

Launch of i-Switch project by
@believeinscotland.bsky.social tackling exorbitant energy prices.

58% say YES to Scottish independence. That’s not a fringe—it’s a majority. Yet Westminster clings to economic control while Scotland fuels the UK’s energy, whisky, and exports. Independence isn’t a dream—it’s overdue. #Scotland #IndyRef2

SNP attacks MoD spending less in Scotland than south of England The Ministry of Defence (MOD) spent £390 per capita north of the border in 2024-25 - compared to £1,120 in the South West of England.

🤨The Ministry of Defence (MOD) spends almost three times as much in SW England as it does in Scotland! -

In 2024/25:

SW🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 : £1,120 per person.
Anyone surprised 🤷

5,448 homes with Labour.
7,734 a year with the SNP.

While Labour talk, the SNP delivers.

Anas Sarwar wants Scotland to forget Labour’s record.

We won’t.

I'm sorry not to be able to meet constituents who have gathered for the Climate Mass Lobby at Dynamic Earth.

However, I am stuck inside for good reason: pushing for more action on preventing and tackling wildfires, given the increase in frequency and intensity.

Yet another anti Scottish headline from the Herald, owned by London owned Newsquest who are in turn owned by US based Gannet.

BBC respond by announcing that Farage will now present QT, Newsnight, Laura K & Ten O'Clock News, [except when he is in his US constituency].

"Our mission is to act in the public interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial, high-quality and distinctive output and services."

No idea, mind you the council is one of those Labour/Tory/LibDem ones & our MP is Morgan McSweeney’s wife & close friend of Starmer & Mandelson, Imogen Walker

@southlanarkshire.gov.uk who gave permission for Carlisle Rd In Blackwood & Kirkmuirhill to be plastered in Union Jacks on a weekend when Tommy Robinson & the far right are demonstrating? We’ve never had a display like this in our villages before even though we’re next to Larkhall & it’s not on

I wish WM would do something similar here - tho' I suspect we might never get to know the findings unless they show the UK industry is squeaky clean.

Can you guess whose NHS performs best – Scotland, England, or Wales? In Scotland The SNP has been responsible for the NHS since 2007. In Wales Labour has run it since 1999. In England its Labour again, after the Liberals and Tories had their turn. Which performs best?

'Starmer should be fighting on what really matters, that is taking away fear people have:
Of not having a job
Of not having security
Of not having a home
Of not having healthcare, education, a pension
Of not having a future.
Those are the issues that matter.'

BBC Scotland isn't Scottish. It's a London controlled franchise. The 'News' department doesn't report news, it pushes political (unionist) narratives. BBC reporters don't mention that Scotland already builds more affordable houses/head than England. The narrative must be negative (via @MSM_monitor)
