Europe for Scotland

Really good news. This should never have happened in the first place and was always a stain on Starmers government.

The BBC has a serious Scotland problem - so why is nobody talking about it? Neil Mackay on the BBC's alleged bias on independence, and what he views as the wider media silence eroding trust and fairness.

This by @neilmackay.bsky.social is so baffling. And it's true. Every time I was up in Scotland I was astonished about how badly under- and misrepresented the independence movemnt is on the BBC. While its still going strong.
Ignore this at your own peril.
Plus it also undermines the BBC's authority

We hope you will like our message to wish a happy St.Andrew's day to everyone who loves Scotland.

The problem when a Prime Minister let others interpret their words is that, to the very least, their determination (or lack of) was all but clear. So if he can't see it happening it's because he doesn't want to push to make it happen. Well, we are glad that Scotland does want to push and so do we.

Will Reform voters scupper Scottish independence in the EU? Members of the European Parliament want Scotland to join the EU, will Reform voters prevent this?

"When Keir Starmer said “Britain will not rejoin the EU in my lifetime”, prior to the last general election, my heart sank" says Sam Page, who was with us in Brussels last April discussing with MEPs Scotland's route back to the EU.
No one can scupper Scotland's dream of a European future 💪

While Starmer's reset negotiator says there's no prospect of the UK rejoining the EU in his lifetime, we were told that Scotland will be welcome to join, once we are independent. It's democracy!

We agree with you that Trump doesn't like when a) people laugh at him b) people ignore him. But truly he also hates protests against him. So perhaps, if you go to the protest, laugh at him, he will hate both thing together!

This Friday, Donald Trump won’t be welcomed in Scotland

The Enduring Myth of the Spanish Veto - Europe for Scotland According to this myth, Spain would prevent an independent Scotland from joining the EU so as not to encourage Catalan and Basque independence. However, Spanish ministers, both on the left (PSOE) and ...

True @felix-krull.bsky.social but which EU country would conceivable use a veto? We can't foresee any.

Five years ago, Scotland was taken out of the EU against the democratic will of its people and of its democratic institutions. Five years later, we must remember and respect Scotland's desire for self-determination and honour its desire to rejoin the EU as an independent nation🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌍

thank you! a great new year to you all at @independencelive.net ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙💫

2024 has been a year of transition for Scotland and for our campaign. We close it proud for laying the foundation for a new phase of EU politics and energised by the 59% of Scots wishing Scotland to be an independent republic shorturl.at/Kcse4
Here’s to a 2025 of hope for Scotland and Europe! 💪✨

Important to highlight also that the UK is ofc not a nation, but a multinational entity so there is a multiplicity of duplicity in his statement, or an embedded piles of lies

Europeans deported post Brexit, including people who had been here legally for years, didn't realise the UK was running "an experiment in open border" but ofc this statement is a blatant lie which will intoxicate the immigration debate even further giving fuel to the far right. Starmer isn't working

And that choice should be allowed by Westminster

UK must choose between EU and Trump, trade experts warn Pascal Lamy, former head of the WTO, says Britain will have to take sides if new US administration slaps hefty tariffs on imports, as fears grow over possible trade war

And if the UK has got a choice to make, surely so does Scotland

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thank you to all that are following us here too! We are a pan European campaign expressing solidarity with #Scotland. The Scottish people should be allowed to choose their future post Brexit. #Brexit doesn't need to be Scotland's destiny. We Europeans will keep a light for Scotland in the EU 💫🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺
