So you are maintaining that a devolved Scotland can achieve what the U.K. cannot based on economic conditions set in Westminster and with a fraction of the powers? - OK

There is a lot of convenient amnesia about Peter Mandelson’s New Labour days. Let’s jog some memories | George Monbiot Yes, he betrayed the national interest in his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein – but also in his sanctioned role as enabler of corporate power, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's disturbing to see how Gordon Brown has whitewashed his reasons for reappointing Mandelson, and his own role in eroding democracy. Mandelson's official business was similar to his unauthorised scheming with Epstein. Don't let them rewrite history.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy The finance curse: how Britain was hollowed out

Listen & weep to how much the financialisation of the U.K. economy has cost every one of us.

Independence is our chance to reset the Scottish economy once detached from the vampire effect of the city of London - a new economic model regulated to benefit the majority

Scottish Government’s bonds plan isn’t consistent with niche viral bill IN our last article, the Scottish Currency Group (SCG) argued that “in Scotland we need to invest in ourselves” (The National, January 19).

From the SCG in The National today - continuing the theme of "In Scotland we need to invest in ourselves" This is what Community Wealth Building is about but there is a disconnect between the SG Bond Programme and the Community Wealth Building Bill Scotland.

Full Employment, Guaranteed A government job guarantee can deliver full employment in the twenty-first-century, writes William Thomson.

"A JG would rebalance an economy that has systematically favoured profits over wages. Achieving full employment in 2026 via a job guarantee is not only possible but essential....Full employment is possible. The time for bold policy choice is now."

Assa Samake-Roman: Why taxing the rich on its own is not enough I WATCHED Zack Polanski’s party-political broadcast a few days ago. It is, understandably, becoming viral.

Taxing wealth redresses inequality. Public ownership, another layer of change. There are more layers. Independence is a break point from which to make those deep structural change decisions - will we take them - who is talking about this in Scottish politics?

YouTube video by Robert Anderson A currency for an independent Scotland

Super video by Robert Anderson about the need for a Scottish currency post independence. He heavily references the work of the Scottish Currency Group & points viewers' attention at our website. Sounds like he intends a series on the topic - have a listen - thanks Robert!
