More people than ever are getting the hip and knee operations they need.

Planned NHS procedures are up, waiting times are down, and hospital stays are getting shorter.

Still more to do, but this is real progress – thanks to the hard work of NHS staff across Scotland. 👏

Poster illustrating dialogue between Scotland and the UK state, revealing that in this 'partnership of equals', the UK won't allow Scotland to vote o independence.

If England decided it wanted to vote on becoming independent, do you think it would have to ask Scotland’s permission first?

When that Brexit downgrade really hits home.

Should you be contemplating voting for Reform ask their candidate on your patch what their policies are. And watch a lot of head scratching.

The story of flags on our food, in particular, the proliferation of Union Jacks on our grocery packaging and why it matters. We look at attempts by the British state to water down Scotland's internationally respected brand in pursuit of pushing their own political narrative and which stores in Scotl FLAGS ON OUR FOOD AND WHY IT MATTERS

voluntarily paying the difference back into public finances. I wonder why we hear so little about this and whether this would ever happen at Westminster?

Steal fae a shop an they'll fling u in jail. Steal fae a country an they'll make u a lord🧐

Keep up this momentum by highlighting disappointment at getting a Labour Gov in Westminster suspiciously like the Tory Gov before it. Westminster is not the answer for Scotland, a change of Gov in Westminster is not enough. We need to make our own decisions and money. Independence now!
