What the end of Alba means for May’s election and the broader independence movement Well that’s it. The Alba party has gone and will not be contesting the Holyrood election in May, or indeed any elections in the future. Unlike some, I am not gloating about the party’s …

My latest blog piece, some personal musings on what the demise of the Alba party means for the Scottish election in May and the broader independence movement.

Vote Scotland - Indy PosterBoy The only political parties opposed to Scottish independence are based in, controlled by, and largely funded from, another country.

Labour. Tories. LibDems. Reform UK. All based in and funded (often through multi-millionaires) by another country, whilst the genuinely Scottish parties are funded by small donations from ordinary people. How is that fair? #Scotland #Holyrood26 #SNP1SGP2

I went to Morrisons yesterday. I have an online subscription to the National, but always look at the newsstands in supermarkets. Either it was sold out by 2pm (unusual) or they had taken it off the shelves (likely)!

‘Labour Together broke the law’ The think tank that propelled Starmer to power hired private investigators to shut down scrutiny of its dark money - I speak to one of its targets, journalist Paul Holden

The Electoral Commission fined Labour Together £14,250 in 2021 for breaking electoral law.

Labour Together had systematically failed to declare £730,000 in political donations from a handful of wealthy donors.

I've been looking at the difference in how BBC Scotland reports stories about problems in the NHS in Scotland compared to England and Wales. Only in Scotland is an opposition party framing used and ScotGov held responsible instead of the health board

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Glad to hear Mayor Zohran Mamdani is considering a baby box scheme in New York.

The Scottish Government has sent over a Baby Box to share our experience and hopefully offer some inspiration.

Since we launched it in 2017, I’m proud it’s giving every child the best start in life. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The truth being :

“The First Minister said that he had asked Alexander for a detailed briefing about the Marinera, “I got a reply from Douglas Alexander which basically told me that this whole issue was none of my business”

Is he insane? Does he not remember how it all panned out in Afghanistan?

Sooo they won't talk about Scottish indy but say Wales is viable?, how interesting 🤔, you've got to ask why?.
