Silent Labour - Indy PosterBoy Did you know that during UK/US trade negotiations not a single Scottish Labour MP or MSP pushed to get a better deal on US Scotch Whisky tariffs. Not one.

Your reminder that though UKgov has secured lower tariffs on Scotch whisky in China, not a single Scottish Labour MP pushed to get a better tariff deal on Scotch exports to the US. Why not? #Scotland #Holyrood26

SNP MP demands apology from David Lammy over QEUH comments AN SNP MP has written to David Lammy to demand he apologise for comments he made about the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital scandal.

Desperate sarwar and his london masters using the pain of familes for political gain. It was the SNP who called for the inquiry into the QEUH inf. The hospital board confirmed there was NO pressure from ScotGov ministers.
Will labour apologise? watch this space.

Line chart showing the % Yes vote since September 23 with figures reweighted based on current split between 2014 Yes/ No and non-voter quotas rather than frozen eleven years ago. So it reflects variable mortality between older No voters and younger Yes voters. The trend shows a gradual increase from 51% to 53%.

As you may know, many #indyref2 polls reweight their findings to reflect the 2014 result (11+ years ago!) thus resurrecting many deceased No voters. This chart shows figures reweighted to amend that flaw. We see a gradual increase in the Yes trend line to 53%.

Today’s figures show real progress in our schools:

✅ Record literacy and numeracy

So much for Starmer's promised reset in relations. He's refused to meet our First Minister to discuss the upcoming budget, and Scotland's priorities.

Voters in Scotland decide our Government... but voters in England decide its budget.

Funny how those who constantly wave the Union flag call people who support Welsh or Scottish independence “bloody nationalists” Are the people of Ireland, France, & any other independent country all “bloody nationalists” too? We want a better future for our people.
