The Nonce - Formally known as Prince Andrew is out on his arse. ๐Ÿ˜

Hanging on until they knew it was untenable which makes me wonder what they're expecting to surface in the near future.

Prince Andrew who spent ยฃ12 million of his mums cash, has had his titles - including his birthright as a Prince removed (for the first time in over a century) by his own brother and is now being kicked out of Royal Lodge despite insisting heโ€™s never met a certain female.

Somethingโ€™s on the horizon.

And in the interim, while they are finding accommodation and jobs to fund their accommodation, where do you suggest they live?

Genuine question.

Reeves said yesterday she had received no guidance. Today, she changed that story by saying she did receive guidance from the letting company. They just keep lying. The letting agents are taking the blame for her.

Liberate Scotland standing against SNP & Greens does split the indy vote.

The 2026 election is probably the most important since devolution but remember itโ€™s not a referendum.

One ballot, no magic shortcut.

Scotland cannot afford a Unionist majority.

Letโ€™s stay united for a strong indy voice.

He was the Labour candidate for the Glasgow Southside constituency but lost to Nicola Sturgeon.

he was listed by Labour as No 1 of 7 Labour MSPs for the Glasgow region through the proportional list system.

This guaranteed his position as an MSP.

He stood, lost and now in ineffective opposition.

It's their modus operandi. Lying is all they have.

He most certainly is. He's a horrid little excuse for a human who's trying to play with the big boys but doesn't know how.

That's a question that's been asked many a time without an answer.

Imagine if the 'yoonyonists' actually agreed to a second referendum.

Now picture the question being: โ€œShould Scotland remain in the Union?โ€

That would totally mess with the Yes campaign and I wouldnโ€™t put it past them to word it like that just to be awkward for the sake of it.

When people talk about โ€˜traditional British valuesโ€™ I canโ€™t help thinking they mean invading other countries, colonising them and pillaging anything of value all under the banner of the Great British Empire.

Britain's aristocracy and titled elite still to this day have their snouts in the trough.

While thereโ€™s an expectation that GERS will be published each year the Scottish Government could legally choose not to produce it or to replace it with a different kind of fiscal report if it wished.

GERS is not legally required.

It was introduced in the 1990s by the UK Tories before devolution.

The Welsh vote has kept the Labour party continuously in power in Wales since the first Welsh Assembly election 26 years ago.

The same question the 3 previous Scottish Greens councillors need to be asking themselves.

So, where do you send a single man whoโ€™s not wanted in England?

It seems Cameron Barracks in Inverness is the latest fashion.

Perhaps the Home Office could find him a room there.

Independence comes first.

Once Scotland is independent, the Scottish Parliament can then decide whether to end the monarchy or put the question to the sovereign people of Scotland in a referendum.

Those are the steps needed to create a Scottish Republic - so, independence first.

Epsteinโ€™s island has been bought by a developer.

The buyer has announced plans to develop the islands into a luxury resort.

She'd feel right at home there.

The ban on LGB people was lifted after the judgement from ECHR.

The ban on trans wasn't lifted due to ECHR.

The trans ban lasted about one to two years longer than the gay/lesbian ban - not due to an ECHR ruling but because of UK domestic equality law and policy reform.

Scotland once stood firm against fascism, resisting the Nazis and their sympathisers.

Shame on Labour, the Tories and Reform UK for hypocritically commemorating that history while we honour those who truly fought for freedom.

Donโ€™t vote for those who spread that hatred.
