A bright future for the Highlands and Islands A future of the Highlands and Islands is possible – but only if we have the freedom to act

"...a darker history during the Famine and the Clearances led to a long decline. From the mid-nineteenth century until 1951, the region lost 28% of its population, with the scars of abandoned crofts still visible."

Moygashel Bonfire

This is the Moygashel 12th July bonfire. Many bonfires receive huge funding and backing from loyalist paramilitary groups. The PSNI facilitate this and councils clean up after them.

This paramilitary backed hate is being justified live on BBC Radio Ulster. The state is rotten to the core.

One rule for THEM and another for the rest 😡😡

And yet...NO PROSECUTIONS of them. Fujitsu not being sued by UK GOV for the money. Taxpayers/government money being used to compensate (badly) the victims of this SCAM (not scandal, but, SCAM).

I think when a Prime Minister, or other Ministers say they are acting in the best interests of the country, they should be obliged to offer a short explanation of what they believe is good for the country, and how their actions help achieve it.

Our politicians claim this, but never explain.

It's genuinely not as important as the situation in Ukraine, but if Starmer continues his appeasement policy the need for Scottish independence has never been more critical. At the moment, Westminster is stopping any chance of us being part of a European alignment.

Of the benefits independence would bring, ensuring we will never again be robbed of our country’s resources is close to the top, writes Richard Walker✍️

We’ll use Brexit freedom to slash red tape on banks, vows Bailey Rules drawn up to prevent another global financial crisis may not be applied to smaller lenders

Bank of England wants to slash red tape on banks.

Translation - remove consumer rights, protections.

Banker bonus cap abolished.

Guess who will bear the cost of bailouts?

Hey Bluesky! What's your small victory today? ☺️

Britain implements delayed third phase of post-Brexit border rules The delayed third phase of Britain's post-Brexit border regime for imports from the European Union will begin on Friday - four years after Britain left the bloc's single market and nine years after it voted to leave the EU.

If you're a small business importing food products from the EU, you're truly stuffed. Meanwhile Reeves claims this is a good thing and Starmer dismisses joining the CU.

It's clear what Scotland must do to fix this Westminster disaster.

Unionists tend to never mention these facts.

Most people think leaving the EU was a mistake - but don't expect politicians to reopen the Brexit question Five years on, even many of those who still champion Brexit, including Nigel Farage, concede that it has "failed" - so why are the main parties afraid to tell voters they got it wrong?

If the Westminster parties are all now agreeing with The SNP that Brexit is a failure, why are they refusing to discuss rejoining and still just tinkering around the edges?

If Ireland, Norway, and Denmark can fund universal healthcare, why can’t Scotland?

Independence = full control over healthcare decisions. If we want a fully funded, effective NHS, independence isn’t just a political goal – it’s a necessity. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Labour hasn’t delivered growth or happiness. It needs an economic reset. Successive governments have tailored economic and tax policies to impoverish the masses

UK govt must improve the economic condition of the bottom 50%, necessary for building economy and a just society.

1% has more than 70% of the population combined.

The bottom 50% has 5% of wealth, bottom 20% has only 0.5%.

No austerity. Must redistribute.
