Now Scottish Yessers are on the same side as Donald Trump A perfect storm of editorial failure and external pressure has cost the BBC its most senior leaders, but we should not lose sight of the fact that…

It is typically egregious Unionist nonsense to suggest that Scottish independence supporters back Trump's far right assault on the BBC which would make the BBC even more right wing and biased against Scottish independence than it already is

Welcome to #Scotland where Category A nuclear accidents are being reported at Faslane and folk in Rosyth may be prescribed anti-radiation iodine pills.

Imagine if this story was about Plymouth, Portsmouth or London.

The shit would be hitting the fan.

In Scotland, we're working hard to undo the damage being inflicted by Labour in Westminster.

I've been getting pushback from Labour loyalists for my last posts.

I'll just say this. I'm physically disabled. I depend on my husband, a foreign national with ILR, for support with mobility & daily living. Since Starmer got in the fear & anxiety I experienced under the Tories has only got worse.

As nurses in our Scottish NHS it is so demoralising having Labour telling lies repeatedly about our NHS. It is the best performing NHS in the UK.

Westminster-controlled β€œScottish” parties would rather defend their leaders failures at Westminster than recognise the success of Scotland’s policies.

They’ll defend Westminsters failures and attack Scotland’s achievements.

That tells you all you need to know about where their loyalties truly lie.

North East Scotland, WTF are you intending to vote for Reform? Fishers and farmers were totally shafted by Brexit, you know the one that your pal Farage was bumping his gums about. Do you NEVER learn? Even Aberdeenshire West has switched to SNP now, 'cos they have thought about it. Open your eyes!
