Leaflet detailing powers stripped from Scotland by Westminster's Powergrab, including planning for disposal of nuclear waste.

In light of Labour's Ed Milliband stating he would invite nuke companies to Scotland if Labour win in GE2026, it's worth remembering that planning for nuclear dumping was one of the powers stripped from Scotland by Westminster's Powergrab. Where do *you* think they'll want to put it?

People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

So when Farage rails against the latest migration figures, he's railing against a monster of his own making. The EU didn't impose uncontrolled immigration on us; it offered a framework that reflected geography, economics and reality”

ie - control.

Unlike the TARDIS, we must not go backwards. It’s time to exterminate racism, on our streets, in our workplaces and across our institutions.

Scottish island monument from acclaimed sculptors wins prestigious arts award

A striking monument on a Scottish island which remembers the Clearances has been handed one of the most prestigious arts awards in the UK.

The monument on the Isle of Lewis was erected to commemorate 100 years since the resettlement of Galson village after it was cleared in 1863.

There's a weird belief in this country that when the public vote in a referendum, that electorate becomes an eternal arbiter of that issue.

It's like the people who insist that the Scottish independence issue is settled because an electorate that no longer exists voted on it over a decade ago.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social used his QT appearance last week to talk about the case for a #WealthTax, and to remind us we shouldn’t be intimidated by the empty threats of a minority of greedy vested interests.

@patmillsuk.bsky.social are happy to pay their fair share.

The National puts every other UK newspaper to shame.

Fearless journalism driven by integrity, moral clarity and backbone.

Watching the Bibi & Don Show treat this like some grand victory, while people returning to northern Gaza dig the rubble for loved ones' remains, is pretty revolting.

Tommy Robinson’s ties to Russia Elon Musk is promoting a far-right agitator who has regularly aped Putin’s propaganda.

Farage and his cronies aren’t the only ones with questionable connections to Russia…

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰

How genocide happened

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of ‘poisoning our kids’ on race issues Exclusive: Reform UK leader’s remarks at event for private US college criticised as ‘grossly irresponsible’ by NEU leader

"Accuse the other of that of which you are guilty" as Goebbels, an inspiration for Farage?, observed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When they say, you cannot

Scotland, aye you can

We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

"Brexiteers boasted that leaving the EU would be worth hundreds of billions a year. Cambridge Econometrics estimates that over the next decade Britain's economy will be £300bn smaller than if we had not left the EU. This is self-harm on a heroic scale."

John Swinney: Devolution has reached its limits and UK Government holds Scotland back

NEW: First Minister John Swinney has said that devolution has 'reached its limits' and that the UK Government is holding Scotland back

This

Autocracies since time immemorial

Correction.

None of them "thought."

They went in with arrogant BS & got smacked hard in the face with reality.

An investigation by the Guardian in 2021 found that at least 67 Scottish Parliament bills have been vetted by the monarch over the twenty years since devolution, in order to protect the crown’s ‘private property or personal interests

We don’t live in a democracy.
#ScottishIndependence

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

On reports the Tories will back leaving the ECHR, Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

“Kemi Badenoch has chosen to back Nigel Farage and join Vladimir Putin by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a proud British creation championed by Churchill that protects everyone's rights and freedoms."

Do read all of this.

This.
Is.
Brilliant.

Robert Reich is 💯 Correct.....

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are
🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally
🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face
🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose

There really *is* no UK. There is a discontented group of countries dominated by the biggest member that regards the others at best as an afterthought, but more often as unimportant backwater regions of greater England. That attitude by politician & media is pushing the break-up of the 'UK' along.

Screenshot of Dr Scott Arthur MP not answering the question. If he is your MP keep asking him until you get a good answer.

Screenshot of Angus MacDonald MP not answering the question. If he is your MP keep asking him until you get a good answer.

I've now had just 2 replies to my query sent to Scottish unionist MPS and MSPs on Bluesky - if the UK is a voluntary union, what is the process for Scotland leaving? Both pretty dismissive. We all ned to be asking this question until it's answered. #IsTheUnionVoluntary #HowDoWeLeave

Ugh
This man
This paper.
Using the same rhetoric as Trump’s lot, jumping on the Kirk bandwagon to claim victimhood and cancel free speech if it criticises him.

Farage incites riots on our streets, then acts all ‘poor me’ when his ugly racist ideas are called out.

No one should pander to this shit.
