Sad to hear of death of Brian Quail, peace activist and independence campaigner. As a member of Pax Christi Scotland and Glasgow Catholic Worker, his desire for peace and justice was rooted in his Christian faith. His legacy will continue to inspire, especially at ecumenical Faslane peace vigils.
Given the impending election, when you think all the things that would be lost if SLAB or Reform were to win⦠tuition, prescriptions, eye tests, busses, etc etc
Excellent speech from our FM. Unequivocally stating the need for Scotland to be back in the EU "π§π°π³ π΅π©π¦ π΄π’π¬π¦ π°π§ π°πΆπ³ π΄π¦π€πΆπ³πͺπ΅πΊ π’π―π₯ π±π³π°π΄π±π¦π³πͺπ΅πΊ".
With all the English parties except Zak's against this, the only route back to the EU is independence. And that means voting for π§π΅π² π¦π‘π£ on May 7th.

My latest blog piece, Reform UK's blueprint for an authoritarian power grab. The biggest threat to democracy and the rule of law ever seen in modern Britain and a reason why the need for Scottish independence is so urgent.

The day after former Scottish Labour minister Frank McAveety was arrested and charged with fraud BBC Scotland reported that Scottish Labour had been approached for comment. Over two weeks later and we're still waiting to hear what the party said. Why has this story been killed?

Starmer's St George's day video repeatedly conflates England with Britain. Something Westminster politicans love to do. For them, Scotland doesn't exist except when we have something they want - like renewable energy. Or somewhere to store nuclear weapons.
"Why is Scotland an afterthought for Labour?" Graphic showing Labour are considering nationalising British Steel in Scunthorpe, but not Grangemouth in Scotland
Labour are planning to nationalise British Steel - to save the Scunthorpe plant from closing down.
Why didn't Labour do the same when Scotland's last oil refinery announced it was closing down?
Scottish jobs are an afterthought for Labour.

In Greenland all healthcare is free, mothers are entitled to 14 weeks of maternity leave, fathers to 3 weeks paternity leave, workers to 5 weeks paid holiday leave annually. Minimum wage is $18.50 per hr. There are no tuition fees for students. No wonder they don't want to be part of Trump's empire.
Scotlandβs offshore wind industry means thousands of new jobs and a stronger economy.

Itβs beyond cruel, and all it does is make peopleβs lives worse, their mental health worse and therefore their cost to the nhs greater. It an evil plan with evil consequences in my view.

Westminster doesn't serve us. Scotland needs a new direction - Independence.

Sarwar backs Starmerβs welfare cuts. Hereβs what it means for you:
π΄ Thousands could lose vital support.
π΄ More people forced into poverty.
π΄ Holyrood will be left to pick up the pieces with less funding.
Scottish Labour is standing with Westminster, not with Scotland.
I did not have high expectations of Keir Starmer, he was always obviously Blair 2.0, but I did think that as a disabled person at the very least I would no longer live in terror of disability benefit cuts as I did under the Tories. How wrong was that fond hope.
The five Scottish Labour MPs who signed a joint letter to DWP secretary Liz Kendall, supporting her decision to announce austerity cuts to benefits for disabled people this week.
Remember when the BBC strongly supported the anti-Scottish Gov mob in killing off Scotland's plans for Highly Protected Marine Areas? Turns out those Unionists were the problem all along when it came to environmental protection...
This upsets me greatly.
More than 200 million free bus journeys have been made by under-22s across Scotland.
This means young people can travel to their place of work, learning or to hang out with family and friends while saving them and their family significant amounts of money.

'The struggle is not just for self-determination or economic regeneration. It is now about cultural survival in an age when globalism, neoliberalism and the internet are expunging national distinctions and historical cultures, including Scotland's.'

Anyone would think they're asset tripping Scotland... I wonder why they'd want to do that?
The SNP's Michelle Thomson reminding us that Westminster tied its own hands when it gave Grangemouth to the private sector. Once again, Scotland is bearing the brunt of Westminster's mismanagement...

Pleased to welcome First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social to the UofG campus to meet our widening participation team and some of our care-experienced students.
The group discussed The Promise, Scotlandβs commitment to care-experienced young people, and the support that UofG provides.
