It's almost my favourite time of the year - the Meadows Festival weekend (6-7 June)!

My first book, Summer of Independence, was published 10 years ago today. I've made a wee film to mark the occasion.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks so much to the publishers Word Power Books and to everyone who has supported my writing over the last 10 years.

Decades of cultural change are 'feeding directly into the independence debate' by rebuilding Scotland’s confidence in its own voice, historian and broadcaster Ally Heather has said

If Scotland was never allowed any second referendums we wouldn’t even have a Scottish Parliament today. It was the second devolution referendum which succeeded, not the first. In a democracy people should be allowed to change course, and keep exercising their right to choose. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This afternoon Michelle O’Neill and I spoke with @RhunapIorwerth of Plaid Cymru and @JohnSwinney of the SNP on their historic election results. The demand for independence is growing. We look forward to working together in common cause. 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

🎶Absolutely amazing scenes in Wales as Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth - set to be Wales's first pro-independence first minister - is interrupted by an impromptu rendition of the Welsh national anthem

[Andrew Redmond Barr @AndrewRBarr]

Congratulations, Scotland! It's the largest pro-independence majority in the history of the Scottish Parliament.

Independence parties are now leading in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for the first time in history.

Another Scotland is possible. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌻

BREAKING: Pro‑independence parties have secured a majority at Holyrood.

A majority was reached after the Greens won two list seats in Glasgow.

Scotlands constitutional question is so clearly not settled & until the realisation Westminster vetoing democracy in Scotland cannot continue, we will have this ludicrous scenario where politicians who lose elections here & those in another country somehow determine our future.

[Michael Stewart @mstewart_23]

It’s incredible for Unionist parties to decry drops of turnout in elections when in large part it’s the blocking of Scottish democratic wishes that creates such apathy.
