Just to be clear... You can grieve the terrible atrocity at the synagogue in Manchester and still protest the terrible atrocity happening in Gaza. Despite what the UK govt says its not mutually exclusive.

When your idea of standing up to the far right is to introduce ID cards you are a million miles off.

It's more than that now. Scotland should be ready to begin moving towards a more renewable approach. Lots of jobs and ending nominations uptake in decommissioning the oil and gas fields but WM intent on draining every last drop.

This is day 2 or 3 after @yourparty.bsky.social 2nd membership launch. When they had the sign up we were given daily info as to the huge number. Does this mean membership sign up has not been desired uptake?

Would be very interesting to see how many no voters in 2014 realised they made a mistake. Still shocked that after Brexit, the Tories and Starmer support for Independence isn't through the roof.

A very loose statement. What do you mean it's bad?

The problem is anyone who offers a genuine alternative to the malaise will be hounded out by the press in whatever possible way... see Corbyn as Lab leader.

Are they going with the name, The Collective? Sounds a bit commune esq?

Pretty tragic as their secret meetings and I'll thought out policies only put off voters. And there are many who are looking for a vehicle that matches their beliefs. Doesn't seem you can have a left wing party without the far left taking over and making it unelectable.

who is behind Collective Scotland? Seems they are running the Scottish wing of Corbyns new party. Any information? @ungagged.bsky.social @nwscotty.bsky.social

How nice to be told by Keir Starmer that my mother who delivered babies, as a midwife, worked nights and damaged her back lifting patients as a nurse, was a pillar of her community as a health visitor has caused β€œincalculable damage” to the UK !

Imagine voting consistently for a Labour Govt, waiting 14 years and ending up with this. Starmer is peddling to the far right with this rhetoric.

Wes Streeting should be no where near a Labour Party membership much less a Labour minister

It might get to the stage that they'll have no one left if they keep going this way

Have to almost admire the blind loyalty of Anas Sarwar to renage on his own words to support a UK Labour Government at the expense of him likely becoming FM... and his Party and Country

Duncan I'm really concerned that this Labour Govt is playing this so wrong. They keep moving further right to combat Reform when you see the success in Canada and Oz in opposing it.

The only conclusion I can make is that Starmer is colour blind and tried to join the Tories at university and thought the red was blue.

This union is rotten. And clearly no Labour govt is going to fix it. Time for Scotland to get out now! #YouYesYet?

It's a baffling tactic by Labour to turn further right and further from your own party's values to combat the far right. Even more so when you see the electoral success in Canada and Australia pushing against Trump. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Halfway through watching #ManUtdVsManCity I stand by my previous comment, The EPL is boring!

Watched #FMQs from this week, I've never been a big John Swinney fan but it might just be the ineptitude of politicians around the world that make him seem a steady hand at the wheel.

Completely agree with the message however there will always be some within this party that don't want it to grow. There is a huge void where a working class party in Scotland could fill. Why isn't it happening?
