Even the dark days can have a golden glow if you've a fireplace, enjoy.
I'll be looking forward to the first lighting of our fire pit in 2026. If it ever gets cauld enough outdoors, currently 12 degrees here, if a bit blawy

We're less than two weeks from the shortest day and the clouds are heavy and dark.
There's still a brightness in the west though and the countdown to the summer has nearly begun.
Hunker doon and ride oot the dark days, better days always come

Typical BBC Scotland! Interviewer Martin Geissler focusses on referendum process and currency and saying that Scotland does not have the right to a referendum as he tried to divert @gillianamartin.bsky.social from explaining why Scotland would be better of as an independent country. He failed.

Island and remote rural area populations are projected to drop by 12% from 2018 to 2043, but it feels like all the component parts are in place to change the narrative, writes Kate Forbes ✍️

Offord's astroturfing Vote No Borders campaign was one of the BBC's blatant attempts to influence the outcome of the 2014 indyref. It was given a full 10 minutes on the 6 o clock news & falsely presented as a grassroots campaign while the BBC ignored genuine grassroots initiatives on the Yes side.

Poster with text - Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again.

Lest we forget . .

On this front, a reminder that (in Scotland at least), people are very supportive of capping donations to political parties and supplementing / replacing it with per-vote based public funding. 60% supported public funding for parties and 51% selected options that *at least* capped private donations!

‘Westminster should learn from Holyrood before another generation pays the price.’ - It would make more sense for the UK Labour Government to just replicate the Scottish Child Payment’ [according to an] independent assessment.”

(Would “Labour” adopt a key SNP policy? Not before hell freezes over.)

Wear a face mask if you feel ill, Scots told flu surge continues

Scots have been advised to wear face masks and stay away from work, school, or hospitals until they are better as flu cases across the country continue to rise

Boycott Eurovision. News clipping from Sky News: Israel allowed to take part in Eurovision 2026 - as several countries withdraw. Scottish Greens.

Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel.

After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

Farage’s contemptible attack on Glesca weans Nigel Farage has been a racist bully again. But don’t worry, he’s only doing it indirectly and without intent to offend or insult. So that’s OK then. Just days after the Scottish …

My latest blog piece, just days after the Scottish Languages Act comes into force, Farage attacks Glasgow school kids in order to scaremonger about immigration. A new low even by his disgusting standards.

'Deeply racist': Fury as Nigel Farage launches 'vile' attack on Glasgow pupils

Nigel Farage has been slated for a 'repulsive' and 'deeply racist' attack on Glasgow schoolchildren as part of his Scottish campaign

More than 50 organisations and hundreds of individuals – including a number of famous faces – have joined together to launch an alliance 'against the far right'

The SNP has mitigated £1,128,489 in Bedroom Tax across Aberdeen City so far this year.

This will help to protect families, support communities and shows a commitment to stand against the unfair Tory & Labour policy.

BBC 'chose not to cover' St Andrews Day service celebrating Saltire

What's the trend?
When will polls show consistently over 50%?

When do they stop using 2014 weighting? What happens then?

Why would unionist newspapers pay to have their noses rubbed in their inability to stop independence?

They know the writing is on the wall

At this time of year, I start to think about my annual reviews, which include (for consistency of comparison year-to-year) an average of polls across Q4. I know I keep banging this drum, and there's a few weeks left, but Scotland is unbelievably poorly served by polling at the moment...

So pleased to host young people in Bute House today for an important discussion on eradicating child poverty.

Thank you for setting out your views so powerfully. We’re working to support families and reduce the cost of the school day - and we’ve made real progress, but there’s still more to do.

What is the fighting age for men? From my experience there's no upper limit and violence can start really young.
So the asylum seekers are just men.

I just saw a woman on Reporting Scotland referring to asylum seekers as 'fighting age men' with the clear implication that asylum seekers are here to conduct a violent invasion. That's not just a racist dog whistle, it's a racist fog horn.

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