Can't wait to see how they'll describe chicken nuggets. All the chicken bones and waste bits, camouflaged by spices and breadcrumbs?

As the cost of living spirals and the economy stagnates on Labour's watch, the SNP is investing in our communities.

We will always be on Scotland's side.

I remember showing it to a group of teenagers once. Couldn't get the music out of my head for weeks. I sympathise.

International Woman's Day today. Perhaps a good moment to promote a book I enjoyed, by Elaine Storkey 'Women in a patriarchal world':

Scotland is a net exporter of electricity, yet households here are hit with some of the highest standing charges in the UK.

So why would you vote for unionist parties that do this to us?

Scotland’s energy must be in Scotland’s hands, & that can only happen with #IndyNow.

Two months until Scotland decides.

Stay stuck in broken Brexit Britain, or choose the fresh start of independence.

That wealthier, fairer future for Scotland is possible. On May 7, vote SNP to make it a reality.

Always fancied being a tea trolley lady. πŸ˜„ Our local council offices had one in the 80s. I wonder if they still do. πŸ€”

We stand before an opportunity.

Europe can step onto the global stage united and strong, or resign ourselves to the sidelines.

Paraphrasing Winston Churchill in June 1940, this may not be Europe’s finest hour, but it is Europe’s hour of decision.

West Highland community moving forward with eco-village plans A community trust has bought land for affordable homes and woodland crofts at Loch Duich.

Re-peopling the glens with woodland crofts rather than subsidy fuelled hill sheep or ecocidal grouse shooting.
