Having had a progressive 𝗦𝗡𝗣 Government for many years (albeit without all the powers) there are many areas where Scotland has succeeded and England has dropped behind 👏

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.

Three in five homes should be social rent under new guidance for Social and Affordable Homes Programme Homes England has published new guidance for the Social and Affordable Homes Programme ahead of the launch in February 2026.

Look behind the headlines and this programme would mean that after ten years Labour in England would have caught up with where 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗡𝗣 is in Scotland already.

Or, from the perspective of each nation: because why should we always see everything just through the lense of England...

Environment Secretary urged to apologise for ‘misleading’ Scottish water claims Holyrood’s Climate Action and Energy Secretary has written to Steve Reed about ‘inaccurate and misleading comments’ about water quality in Scotland.

UK Environment Secretary must apologise for ‘misleading’ Scottish water claims.

Claimed water “pollution levels in Scotland are worse than they are in England”.

Water Commission found 66% of Scotland’s water bodies to be of good ecological status; 16.1% in England; 29.9% in Wales.

‘The Scottish Government actually runs a balanced budget. Any deficit which does exist, is based on our share of money the UK government spends” - Stewart Hosie SNP

Poster comparing Keir Starmer's admission that an independence referendum was a matter for Scots alone in 2020, versus his statement yesterday that there will be no referendum whilst he is PM.

“If the people of Scotland return an SNP government, regardless if it’s a minority or majority, then that would be a mandate for a second referendum. It’s not up to the likes of me who live in England. This is the decision for the people of Scotland to make.” Starmer, STV, 2025. What a hypocrite.

This is spot on. Many insist Scotland wanting to be independent is somehow anti-English. It’s not. We’ll be delighted if England does well, but in the meantime we’d like to, and are entitled to, make our own choices.

From my perspective in Scotland Reform, Labour, the Tories, and Lib Dems all promote the same British nationalism that seeks to minimise Scottish identity. Tell me I'm wrong.

Wealthy Britons avoiding more tax than previously thought, spending watchdog says NAO says tax gap for rich individuals may be much more than £1.9bn and urges ministers to redouble efforts

Today's Sunday Times rich list put the combined wealth of the richest 350 people – including King Charles – at £772.8 billion.

There's more than enough money in the UK to fund our public services, build up our infrastructure and transition to a greener economy.

Tax the rich.
