Scottish independence isn't about hating the English, it is about loving Scotland.
It isn't about breaking up the union, it is about making it stronger.
Creating more equal partnerships to benefit more people than a chosen elite in which the current agreement is designed to benefit.

They were going to state the name of their Bluesky page on fb later that day, but unfortunately they disappeared. They did say fb had given them a blanket ban and that they may be getting taken down. Just wish I had got the name of their new page on here first ๐Ÿ˜ž

Not sure, they said they may end up getting blocked and that they had been given a blanket ban. They were going to be putting their Bluesky account name up later that day, and then they just disappeared off fb. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Starmer is claiming his government has met a key election pledge to deliver two million extra NHS appointments in England in its first year.

The man simply cannot be trusted.

He either ditches his pledges or lies about having achieved them ๐Ÿ‘‡

Can anyone help?
I used to follow a very informative page on fb called 'Jeremy Corbyn and Socialist News 2025'. The page appears to have been removed from fb before announcement of the name of their new page on Bluesky??? Can anyone tell me what their page on here is called please? TIA.

The SNP Government is making progress on scrapping the two-child cap to help tackle child poverty.

Meanwhile, Labourโ€™s Scottish Secretary is just making things up.

Scotland has:

โœ… The best paid NHS staff in the UK.

โœ… The highest number of qualified nurses & midwives in the UK.

โœ… The highest number of GPs in the UK.

Weโ€™ll always stand up for Scotlandโ€™s NHS ๐Ÿ‘‡

Operation Branchform was kicked off by a complaint to the police that funds raised for a 2nd Indy Referendum were instead used by the SNP for running expenses which contributors had absolutely no problem with, the police investigation is clearly political and orchestrated #ScottishIndependence

Politics is about choices.

Whether itโ€™s restoring winter heating support cut by UK Labour government, ending the two-child cap, or standing up for WASPI women, Iโ€™ve always chosen to do whatโ€™s right for Scotland.

Neither Keir Starmer nor Anas Sarwar can say the same.

This daily rag is beyond disgusting. Saw this on their fb page this morning, no wonder they only have 870 followers. Can't believe folk still buy it to be honest. It's been suitably blocked from my feed. Can't be doing with this level of nonsense! ๐Ÿ™„

Scotland and UK Democracy Whilst Scotland has it's own Parliament, currently it only has limited powers, a fixed budget it must work within (it cannot create money like a country with its own Central Bank can), and is overseen...

#undecided?

There's lots of really solid, fact checked information on:

Yes In Pictures

And

We know why #ScottishIndependence is crucial- you can too (and then you can spread the word)

๐ŸŒน During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by ยฃ300.

๐Ÿฅ€ Bills are now forecast to rise in January by ยฃ168 on average, since Labour got in.

๐Ÿ’ท A ยฃ468 cut is now required to meet that promise.
