Hey businesses in England! Have you ever considered that an independent Scotland in the centre of the EU might actually be good for you?

Yesterday Anas Sarwar took a swipe at Liz Truss's disastrous pledge to have unfunded tax cuts, forgetting that both he and Starmer made exactly the same pledge. Alas for Anas, we didn't forget. He won't want this retweeted.
Sadly this is the level we've reached in Scottish politics and what passes for political journalism. Using the escalation in violence between Israel & Palestine to attack the Bute House Agreement.
The path to ending the tragic loss of innocent lives – both Palestinian and Israeli – begins with one crucial first step: the end of the Israeli occupation and apartheid.
Labour is promoting the household analogy that suggests it will be constrained when in office by a lack of money – and that is not true https://t.co/99VSAWVS6j If Labour thinks it will be unable to change the economy when in office why is it seeking power?
Too many people on this stupid app can’t tell the difference between innocent Palestinian people and terrorists like Hamas. Stop conflating the two. You’re not helping. I have family in Gaza. They hate Hamas. They are not torturing women and parading their dead bodies around. The people doing that are not “innocent Palestinians” They are evil and monstrous terrorists. This should not be difficult.
Rishi Sunak has refused to agree to a meeting with Northern Mayors to discuss the future of the high speed rail link between London and Manchester. https://t.co/21zx1jGMCV
Some windswept late afternoon campaigning with this cheery squad. Less than a week to go until the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by election!

This has to be tackled head-on. The man in the audience was a former Tory election candidate. Viewers were duped into believing he was an ordinary member of the public. His political past was concealed. This is happening again and again on BBC Scotland programmes.

NO SANCTION for Boris Johnson after he blatantly breached parliamentary rules by taking up his Daily Mail column earlier this year
Says Oliver Dowden, his ally and now Deputy PM.
Tory rules and "jobs for the boys"
Eton Mess anyone?

To get the business benefits of #ScottishIndependence it's important that we don't just accept what we’re given – and focus on building the new Scotland instead.
There is no "Coutts scandal". The Telegraph has misreported the reasons for Coutts' decision and slandered the bank. As have you. The memos released by, of all people, Nigel Farage, reveal that the reason for the closure of his account was that he had paid off his mortgage.
The UK Gov u-turn on glass in Scotland's deposit return scheme was politics at its worst. For a sustainable future we need to consider both the environment and a wellbeing economy, and limit the influence of vested interests and their donations.
Here's the DRS timeline.
Electricity in the UK is 100% privatised and we already have seperate grids - which means rUK access to Scottish renewable energy won't change after independence. But to drive down bills, Scotland will need its own Ofgem to ensure investment and taxes are better balanced.
The principle that the waste creator pays is well established in waste management. 37 of the 45 other DRS schemes around the world include glass. Scottish businesses are ready to play their part.
