In some areas of Glasgow it’s apparently right wing reform supporters who have put up saltires
On the M74 near Lesmahagow Larkhall it is Saltires and Union jacks that are flying
At the protests in Glasgow and Falkirk the anti refugee camp have used Saltires and union jacks
I hope you are rightmate

These are the things that Labour stood for once upon a time. No surprise, really, that as Labour have shifted ever rightwards to try to capture the right-wing Reform vote, the English Greens are filling that egalitarian left-wing space.

I want to live in Scotland free from child poverty, where we look after the vulnerable, where people feel part of strong, supportive communities.

Organisations like Fresh Start in north Edinburgh are vital partners in building that fairer, more caring Scotland.

Thank you for all you do. 💛

As we go into autumn and the leaves fall notice how few plastic bags there are hidden in the bushes. Remember all the fuss about the SNP charging for plastic bags?

This is a list of the harm that has been inflicted upon us by
Westminster & what it has done to Scotland by the Torys & the Labour, LibDems & UKIP/Reform are complicit in the damage to our country & still it continues by those blinkered unionists who need to wake up & stop with the anti SNP keech.

A Fresh Start with Independence This paper sets out why Scotland should become an independent country, and what an independent Scotland could look like. It provides details of this Scottish Government’s proposals for an independent ...

So, here's the proposal, unionists: let Scotland try independence for 40 or 50 years, and see how it goes. If it flops, as you believe, then imagine the gloating you'll be able to enjoy as we come crawling back. What have you got to lose?

So, Starmer is going to be visiting Scotland more often in the months leading up to GE2026. Maybe the media could get off their arses and ask him these questions.

Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

Today I have published our latest paper on what it could look like: www.gov.scot/publications...

No political party is perfect, Not even the SNP, But compared to the party's who favour this despotic, Unequal union they come pretty damn close.
What has been achieved policy wise in Scotland is chalk & cheese to Britain, And yet there are those who take this for granted & still vote for the union

The 'Scottish' media is, to a large extent, the campaigning arm of WM rule of Scotland. Between now & May 2026 it will spin every positive story about Scotland as a negative one, and where that's impossible, will not report positives at all. Try other sources.
