If Miliband gets his way this will happen to Scotland again.

England would get subsidised nuclear energy; we’d be left to deal with the centuries-long poison.

Fundraiser update and a look to the election in May I thought I’d publish an update on the progress so far of the 2026 Wee Ginger Dug annual fundraiser. This is always an anxious time of the year as I ask other people to put their money where …

Got a lovely message from a reader who donated to the blog fundraiser. He said he thinks the blog is excellent political analysis of the Scottish political scene & said he loves the comment section, which he called the Gogglebox of Scottish politics.

Westminster want Scotland to adopt Nuclear ☢️ power. To ensure it does not sit in their backyard while siphoning off the energy . We will then be left with the decommissioning and decades of waste.
We have the energy now give us the power.

Starmer allies hired investigators to look into author of McSweeney book KEIR Starmer's allies hired private investigators to explore the background of an author whose book led to the resignation of the Prime Minister's…

If you've seen the Sunday Times today you'll know Labour Together were secretly hiring people to investigate journalists.

Sadly you won't know that The National broke this story six months ago, since our work is not credited at all.

BBC Scotland-Bad-uk-Good is pushing the number of Scottish schools in poor condition as a failure of scotgov yet since 2007 that number has dropped from 37.3% to 8.3% and the upgrade programme is still ongoing

Bella Exclusive: on 'Scotland for Nuclear Energy' the Tory front group launching a campaign for new nuclear power in Glasgow tonight bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/02/05/a...

What I find mystifying is the lack of proper scrutiny being applied to the claims made by those members of the Nuclear Energy All-Party Parliamentary Group and its well-funded nuclear lobbyists, writes John Proctor ✍️

Did you know that 96% of Scotland's Westminster representatives requested that all UK nations should agree before #Brexit was carried. The Tories, with 1 MP, overruled this request. #Brexit was a UK vote because England decided it would be.

“If there’s a Labour Government in Scotland, we’ll be back the day after the election to make sure that money is translated into good, well-paying jobs in renewables and nuclear. That can’t happen at the moment because the SNP is basically saying ‘we’re shut for business”

£51.4m legal claim over Scottish Government's aborted deposit return scheme fails A WASTE management firm’s £51.4 million legal claim against the Scottish Government has been thrown out

The person Biffa should have taken to court is the last Tory Viceroy, Alistair Jack!
Waste of time.
£51.4m legal claim over Scottish Government's aborted deposit return scheme fails
www.thenational.scot/news/2577201...

BREAKING: A waste management firm’s £51.4 million legal claim against the Scottish Government over its aborted deposit return scheme (DRS) has been thrown out.

The DRS has been a runaway success in Ireland.

Diageo lobbyists are among those responsible for it not happening in Scotland. Shameful.

Yet another example of British media mis-reporting on Scottish affairs...

The Berwick Bank Wind Farm 4.1GW capacity is estimated to power more than 6 million homes annually.
That is enough electricity to power the 2.74 million home's in Scotland twice over.
Combined with Scotlands current Wind, Wave, Hydro generation there is no case for Nuclear Power in Scotland

Labour on the radio, so desperate to build nuclear power stations in Scotland? 🤔

We don't want them; we definitely don't need them.

If they are necessary for powering England, build them in England.

Think of the saving in transmission charges.
We know all about that in Scotland.

Ffs 🤷‍♀️

Scotland you are a net Exporter of Energy already. Westminster has the money to invest in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but is witholding investment unless 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 votes for Starmer sock puppet Anas Sarwar.

See how Westminster politicions treat Scotland👀

This reads like blackmail to dot nuclear Reactors over Scotland

Ffs. These people are without shame. All grunting around in the trough demanding peerages and then sulking off to Reform: home from home for corrupt Tory millionaires who’ve already had one long go at screwing us over and think they deserve another shot.
They can all go to hell.

Reliable transparent 12 hour A&E figures confirm corridor care in NHS Scotland less than half as common as in Labour-run England but Daily Record uses a single tragedy on behalf of Labour in Scotland It’s another single case plucked out by grubby figures, taking advantage of a distressed family and platformed, front page, by a newspaper little better than a Labour party election leaflet. …

Or having our resources controlled by Westminster. Or hosting nuclear weapons 30 miles from Glasgow. Or not being able to drag us back out of the EU after we rejoin. Or having our industries closed that’s benefits the south. So much more. Yeah the Barnett formula.

There need to be a law stopping msm printing and broadcasting lies

Watch Labour MPs Get Chased Through Glasgow By A Rickshaw Playing "The Imperial March" All in a day's work for one supporter of Scottish independence.

Who remembers this brilliant stunt? I was on the streets that day & was in hysterics as I witnessed this. It was well thought out & exactly what was needed to my mind. This will never age.
