UK State propaganda attacks on Scotland are relentless, blatant and sickening. They are working flat out to brainwash us into believing that we are a uniquely incapable small country. Don’t grow old regretting that you failed your children and grandchildren. #ScottishIndependence
Scottish political journalism is now effectively professional Unionism. In short, hacks and reporters might not be Unionists, they just have to push whatever agenda Unionism requires at any given time in order to be successful. In many cases their career depends on it.

There is little doubt that this Labour @GOVUK is determined to de-industrialise Scotland: nitter.cf/DickWinchester/status/…
Coming a couple of days after the Acorn funding lies the ban on N Sea drilling is just another step in Westminster's plan to weaken Scotland's economy & make it more Westminster dependent.

So...the Iran war being blamed for Trumps demise in the US...its not, it's because Americans have woken up to their Politicians supporting and arming a genocide. British political parties take heed, you being "Friends of (genocidal) Israel" is not the vote winner you may think.

🔴@Helen_Whately, Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, has claimed £2 MILLION expenses in 10 years. £300,000 relates to her own travel and accommodation - yet she only lives 50 miles from London. Her boss, @KemiBadenoch has 3 children, claims £2.7K per month to rent a 6 bed farmhouse & tried to claim expenses for a family holiday. The country can't afford these @Conservatives. - @Heccles94

Guy Fawkes had 36 barrels of gunpowder. Today, Westminster would need considerably more just to blow away the layers of entitlement, expenses and blatant corruption... It's time we gave the establishment something to really worry about? Public accountability!! 🧨💥 @metpoliceuk

Today’s Supreme Court hearing on Palestine Action is a huge moment for free speech and the right to protest in this country. The government has debased itself by upholding this absurd and draconian ban. Opposing genocide is not a crime. De-proscribe Palestine Action now.

Brexit has been brexshit for British businesses but the likes of Farage doesn't give 2 shits as it doesn't affect him or those like him. It does effect the mugs that voted for it though. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Victoria Derbyshire has faced a wave of criticism after defending the Israeli government’s position when Bernie Sanders described it as 'extremist' during an appearance on BBC Newsnight 🗣️'Why are we still doing this?'

Scotland needs complete control over its economy. The idea of surviving off of a tax rebate is nonsensical

Scotland is an afterthought for the UK Labour Party and it’s no wonder that Scottish Labour is rightly accused of being a branch office
NEW: The SNP have accused Scottish Labour MPs of putting Westminster's interests ahead of Scotland's whisky industry after they backed a controversial increase in alcohol duty The party have demanded that Scottish Labour leader Michael Marra 'finds his voice on Scotch whisky' after Labour MPs voted in favour of the UK Government's Budget resolution on alcohol duty on Tuesday evening

.@BBCNews @BBCr4today @BBCNewsnight - if an interviewee says Israel has committed GENOCIDE, always say that Israel denies it (but they would, wouldn’t they?) BBC NEVER says that the consensus of Genocide scholars and all Human Rights NGOs and two UN committees say the evidence of GENOCIDE is conclusive

BBC Scotland has been forced to issue yet another correction relating to the SNP after falsely claiming John Swinney had announced plans to take buses into public ownership. How many more 'mistakes' like this are to be allowed before an inquiry is held into the station?

More than 75,000 people have signed a petition calling for a public inquiry into the UK Government's complicity in the Gaza genocide It comes after former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to back his Private Members Bill for a Chilcot-style inquiry which would investigate the UK Government's military, economic and political co-operation with Israel since its onslaught on Gaza began in October 2023

I mostly ignore this obsessive & his transphobic pals. He seems to have an unhealthy interest in me & my life. But for the record: I came out to friends in my 20s & very publicly in the press in my 30s when presenting @BBCBreakfast becoming the first BBC presenter to do so. #lgbt

Only in Scotland would the press and media find a way to attack the Scottish government for capping bus fares at £2. It's a relentless stream of SNPbad.

📈 One year on from @theSNP scrapping peak rail fares and more than 90 million journeys have been made on ScotRail trains. 🚆 With peak fares gone and fares frozen, The SNP is putting passengers first, helping people save money and encouraging more Scots to choose rail.

The Chancellor admitted that Scotland’s energy wealth would now be over £1 trillion. But this wealth doesn’t exist — because the UK Government squandered it and pocketed the profits. And that’s why Scottish households are paying £1200 more for their energy bills than Labour promised. Taking control of our energy is not only crucial to build the wealth for Scotland’s future — it’s the only way to ensure that energy rich Scotland isn’t paying some of the highest bills across Europe.
