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. I’ve tended to steer clear of this to…

I'm a safe space, ally, and I WILL fight at your side.

Scotland is on the threshold of real change when Yes has a double digit lead It’s definitely happening, as anyone who’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 be…

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?

I'm DEFINITELY going to brag to my kids that they're was a time I had more Bluesky followers than @barackobama.bsky.social

Are we all ignoring the fact that Vance becomes President if anything happens to Trump?

Alt-Right Twitter account Malcontent News Tweeting It's time to leave NATO and the UN. Elon Musk quote tweets I agree

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 It’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 Trump’s alignment with Russia. Everyone who values freedom, democracy and peace must stand full square with Zelensky and Ukraine.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

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. It’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...

Every Scot should read this..this document and it's information was hidden away from us,for 3+ decades..it's a long read,but it will open your eyes..we NEED INDY ASAP

Indy minded folk here on BS, of whatever inclination, Pete and the other Indy politicians here need to build up their following so give him/them a follow and he/they can prove to other MPs/MSPs/politicians it's worth moving here 😊

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.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

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 Westminster—on independence, Brexit, and beyond—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. It’s OK to admit ye were lied to—they’re still at it! Time to stand on our own two feet & pick leaders who work for US, not Westminster. 🔥 #YouYesYet

I’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 🇺🇸 as their champion, have been betrayed. The very air we breathe is poisoned by Trump’s toxicity.

We will do alright.

#independence #Scotland #YES

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Now I so don't do sportsball, but this is absolutely fucking class! Well done @explodingheads.bsky.social!

Haha, my line made it in to this. Made up.

"I never said Brexit would be easy" says politician who definitely said Brexit would be easy.

Zork The Puppy Destroyer has regularly said he wants to destroy puppies, and has recently spoken at a puppy destroying convention.

But will he actually destroy any puppies? Our media think any such fears are an overreaction.
