If you support restoring winter fuel payments, scrapping peak rail fares and delivering 100,000 extra GP appointments...

Vote SNP on Thursday 5th June in the Hamilton, Larkhall, and Stonehouse by-election.

Only the SNP can beat Farage.

I reckon it's time a British cardinal threw his mitre in the ring. We're not going to compete at international masses without a homegrown pope in charge.

Shining a linguistic light on pronouns In recent years the previously innocuous, even arcane, matter of pronouns has become intensely politicised in the often toxic debate around trans issues. Iโ€™ve tended to steer clear of this toโ€ฆ

Scotland is on the threshold of real change when Yes has a double digit lead Itโ€™s definitely happening, as anyone whoโ€™s been paying attention knew it would. The experience of a Labour government which was elected on a promise of change but which has proven to beโ€ฆ

My latest blog piece, about today's poll showing a double digit lead for independence.

If a high school sophomore could explain why the Confederate flag is a symbol of support for both slavery and sedition, why couldn't 120 Republican Congresspeople explain why they voted to keep Confederate statues in the U.S. Capitol?

The transatlantic alliance and NATO are over. Scotland's future is with 500 million other Europeans. Scotland has nothing to gain & everything to lose by shackling itself to a delusional UK that robs us of our natural wealth & refuses to accept the new geopolitical reality.

Translated from German Wikipedia: "Many cultures hold hospitality in such a high esteem that violations of the host's duties towards his guest are punished with the loss of the host's honour."

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

At Least Now We Know the Truth Itโ€™s ugly, but necessary to face.

What happened in the Oval Office today was horrifying - but, as this piece says, there is now no denying the truth of Trumpโ€™s alignment with Russia. Everyone who values freedom, democracy and peace must stand full square with Zelensky and Ukraine.

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. Itโ€™s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

I think we would if we could secure a following. I've got 60k followers on Xitter but only 1.3k on here, and I have posted every day for months. Don't know why our followers don't follow us across but we need to keep in contact with them.

A bold blue and white Saltire with the words "It's OK to admit you were lied to!" in white. The image challenges Scots to recognise the repeated lies from Westminsterโ€”on independence, Brexit, and beyondโ€”urging them to take control of their future by supporting the independence movement and demanding honest leadership.

They telt ye Scotland would be stronger in the UK. They telt ye pensions would be at risk and that Brexit wid be a success. Lies. Every. Single. Time. Itโ€™s OK to admit ye were lied toโ€”theyโ€™re still at it! Time to stand on our own two feet & pick leaders who work for US, not Westminster. ๐Ÿ”ฅ #YouYesYet

Iโ€™m going through the motions of my usual life. The world outside my front door looks the same. But nothing is the same. A dark curtain is descending across America. Free people everywhere, who saw ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ as their champion, have been betrayed. The very air we breathe is poisoned by Trumpโ€™s toxicity.
