@Grouse_Beater Unanimity still applies in a few areas, but most EU law is now agreed by qualified majority voting, so a member state can be outvoted. Where EU and national law conflict, EU law takes precedence. That is still a union, just a different one.

Good to see more talk of independence. But "choose a return back home to the EU" just swaps one union for another. Sovereignty stands for independence from both the UK and the EU, with waters, energy and laws decided in Scotland.

Good news from Northmavine. £99,000 to buy the old Urafirth school site, with plans for seven affordable homes to keep families in the area. Sovereignty holds, with William Ogilvie, that every Scot has a birthright share in the land.

@theSNP Agreed, Westminster isn't working for Scotland. But rebooting into Brussels just installs another system we don't control. The real fix is full independence: Scotland's own parliament making Scotland's laws, outside both the UK and the EU.

The Scottish Government wants your views on how councils are run. Questionnaire open until 11 December. Whatever shape local government takes, we back Land Value Tax to replace council tax and business rates, starting with local pilots.

A Microsoft outage has left Scottish councils, schools, health boards and Police Scotland unable to send or receive emails. As we wrote this week, Scotland needs the practical ability to protect public data and change suppliers.

@DaveDooganSNP A change of Prime Minister in London will not fix soaring prices. Scotland needs full independence, outside both the UK and the EU, so we can set our own course and raise living standards at home.

[Sovereignty @VoteSovereignty]

@StephenGethins Reversing Brexit is not the same as independence. Scotland should be a sovereign country in its own right, outside both the UK and the EU, making its own laws rather than swapping one union for another.

@hazelbagend It varies, no question, and some families do it far better than others. Schools vary too. Our view is that the decision belongs with parents, not the state.

[Sovereignty @VoteSovereignty]

Home education in Scotland is up 79% in three years, from 1,591 to 2,851. Inverclyde's proposed policy calls it "an equally valid choice" and a right. Congress backs the right of parents to home educate without state interference.

MSPs have been told AI data centres could help heat homes in Edinburgh and Glasgow, but only if they are planned for it from the start. Congress backed a mandatory EIA, national approval, and LVT charges for power, water and spectrum.

SPS has told Holyrood there are now no biological males in Scotland's women's prisons. A small number were moved in June after a court found the old guidance unlawful. Women's prisons are for women. Everyone in custody deserves dignity.

Scotland's seas and seabed are a national inheritance. We want their rent kept for Scotland, after the working boat has earned its keep. Join Sovereignty: https://t.co/hluMUCnOCl

@Grouse_Beater Shallow how? New EU members commit to adopting the euro and come under the Common Fisheries Policy. For a country with Scotland's waters, that's a big call to hand away just after getting it back.

[Sovereignty @VoteSovereignty]

Scottish Labour's new line is "Let's use one union to join another." Scotland shouldn't be handed from Westminster to Brussels. We stand for independence from both the UK and the EU, and a Scottish currency on day one.

Business rates: The Herald's Reset the Rates reforms will be "considered". The 2026 revaluation panel still has no members. Congress backed Land Value Tax to replace business rates and council tax. Tax the site, not the improvements.

Scotland already has its own digital ID. An FOI shows £44.1m spent on ScotAccount since 2018, with 49 staff. Officials say nearly a million accounts exist. It is voluntary. We oppose mandatory Digital ID, from Westminster or Holyrood.

A Sustainable Shetland campaign survey of 2,655 households found about 87% back a halt on further energy development, and only 5% feel consultation has real influence. The rent should stay in Scotland, not flow to distant shareholders.

@theSNP Asking Labour to ringfence it is still asking Westminster for permission. Scotland's energy wealth will only be ours when the decisions are ours: full independence, our own currency, and no handing control to Brussels instead.

Councillors will be asked next week to halve the Anderson High hostel family-flat charge, after the charge rose nearly sixfold since 2023/24. Outer isles families should never be priced out of staying near their children.
