Even with limited powers, weβve made real progress in Scotland - the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling.
But Westminsterβs failed Thatcherite policies are leaving too many Scots struggling.
Letβs build a fairer society with independence.

Independence is normal.
And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

The chief behavioural psych problem with Scottish Unionists and English Nats is a conditioned belief that the "ruling class" is best equipped to govern - be it the aristocracy, Eton/Harrow cartel or Oxbridge PP&E collective.
Simply put, it's cap-doffing as a way of life and on an industrial scale.

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."
In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.

Surely all Parliaments should be able to ask questions about any aspect of that countryβs affairs? In a democracy thatβs a no brainer. Yet thatβs NOT the case in UK!

Cognitive dissonance on full display.
Labour once avoided wrapping itself in flags, standing for solidarity beyond nationalism. Now every party seems to stage backdrops like something out of the 1930s β all symbols, no soul. When did politics become a competition in flag-waving rather than ideas?
