You don't see many Union Jack car licence plates in Scotland because we resent having Britishness forced upon us & understand the union flag is politicised and divisive. This Brit card will be equally unpopular.

It's time to remove regressive standing and transmission charges that disproportionately affect rural households.

If Scotland had cheaper greener electricity than England manufacturing would move north.
That is why Westminster will never do what is right for Scotland.

UK not entering trade war with US, says Starmer.
Wrong assessment. Trump has declared trade war. Extra tariffs on UK steel, motor trade. Trump demanding tax cuts for US corporations operating in the UK.
Appeasement is futile. Don't become the 51st state. Join the EU. Carve a common future.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.
