“Scotland is a sovereign territorial kingdom and nation, and remains so under the Treaty, even though the Treaty [of Union] was never implemented — Scotland’s sovereignty was a condition of it…” Prof Alf Baird #SSRGConference 🎥 Full speech: youtu.be/5t8iFhV53w0?si=k3bg…

This is a massive media and political failure. But because broadcasting was never devolved absolutely NOBODY will be held responsible
NEW: The BBC confirms the closure of the BBC Scotland TV channel as it moves to iPlayer only. It will result in job losses and the end of the channel’s bespoke news programme. @SkyNews

Double-speak and double standards in a supposed democracy. What say you @Ofcom? Its clearly a concerned effort to thwart even basic standards of public service and transparent attempt to ally with political corruption.
The speech by the Leader of the SNP, the largest Party in Scotland and the First Minister of Scotland, will not be shown by BBCS. He’ll be on radio only despite speeches from the Leaders of English based Parties at English based Conferences being broadcast on live on BBCS.

From the one, true, reconstituted, Scotland-UN Committee: “When Westminster tore up Scotland's referendum decision in 1979, for 27 years, a small committee of Scots carried their nation's claim for self-determination to the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and the governments of the world. Twenty years later a Parliament sat again in Edinburgh - - and in 2026 the Committee returned to the struggle. Unaffiliated with any other group, the Scotland-UN Committee was reconstituted, with the approval & warmest wishes of a remaining member of the original Scotland-UN committee and in 2026 has already sent in fresh cases to the UN C-24 Committee at the start of the year, and the UN - C4 Committee in July of 2026. This is only the first two cases. The fight for Scotland goes on” scotland-un.org

Last three years were a moral stress test for humanity. The people of the world did not fail it, but many governments did. The consequences have been devastating: a genocide livestreamed in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Let us learn from this and act to save what remains of us and of our humanity. Part of a lecture at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

🟥 The Labour UK Government think it’s fine to revisit the EU referendum but not the Scottish independence referendum. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Reject their double standard – tell them it’s Scotland’s right to choose!

The Torphichen Troubadour - you're a natural Seanchaidh!
Today I gave a talk to 30 tiny people at the nearby Torphichen primary school. They were wonderfully inquisitive and enthusiastic, though I found explaining the plot of Tam O'Shanter a bit challenging.

🤔 The UK Government wants to revisit Brexit, while denying the people of Scotland the same democratic choice on independence? Brexit has failed no question, but Scotland too must have the freedom to decide our own future.

Scotland stands by Palestine.
العالم يتغيّر أسرع مما تستطيع إسرائيل وحلفاؤها وقفه؛ فالحركة العالمية لمناصرة فلسطين تتّسع وتتصاعد، ولا قدرة لأحد على إبطاءها. أغادر اسكتلندا الآن بعد زيارة جامعة سانت أندروز العريقة، حيث امتلأت قاعة تتسع لألف مقعد بأساتذة وطلبة قدموا من أنحاء العالم. وفي المطار، وأنا أنتظر الطائرة، التقيت الإيطالي ريكاردو وطفلته. فلسطين تأسر قلوب الشعوب، والرهان على الشعوب هو الرهان الصحيح والرهان الوحيد.

Scotland is energy rich, yet we're paying the price at the pump.

The right wing unionist parties and press in the UK have ignored the party of government in Scotland. So quelle surprise.
Gerry's right, Sinn Fein are more of a party of government more than the Tories ever have, or ever will be in Scotland
