The government that cut winter fuel payments for pensioners just handed £1.3bn in taxpayer money in infrastructure support to Comcast, a US corporation building a theme park in Bedford.
There are 5 undersea cables either under construction or in consultation, extracting renewable energy from Scotland, each of the 5 cables is capable of transporting 2 GW of power down to various locations in England for free
👎 The Unionist Scots in the house of Lords have cost taxpayers over £13 million in the last decade.
🤑 The ten worst offenders alone have racked up more than £4.5 million.
🚪 It’s time for these unelected charlatans to be shown the door.
🗑️ Scrap the Lords.
Scotland’s free “Top Up Taps” network has reached a major sustainability milestone: public refill stations have now prevented the use of around 20 million plastic bottles, reinforcing the country’s reputation as a leading eco-friendly travel destination.
With over 130 free refill points available across cities, parks, and hiking routes, travellers can easily stay hydrated using some of the world’s highest-quality tap water without relying on single-use plastic.
A big step forward for sustainable tourism.
Would you travel with a reusable bottle?
Pat McFadden also worked on Tony Blair’s election campaign in 1997 alongside Peter Mandelson + Alistair Campbell. In 2008, he was made Mandelson’s right-hand man.
In 2023, Mandelson said: “Pat has seen it all.”
Had he “seen” Mandelson’s communications with Epstein?
We were told the Union protected Scots law, Scotland's institutions and our constitutional traditions. We were told the people of Scotland were sovereign.
Yet when Scots repeatedly elect governments seeking a referendum, another parliament simply says No.
So when exactly did Scots agree that their sovereignty, rights and protections could be vetoed by Westminster?
Not when did Westminster claim the power...
When did Scotland grant it? @iScotNews
One of the great betrayals of Scotland in recent years by a Westminster Government is surely the rejection of Turbine manufacturing in Ardersier, £billions of investment and over 1500 well paid jobs to a rural community blackspot....but NO, we can't have that going to Jockland.
A lot has changed in 40 years.
But we’re still celebrating #JamesConnolly.
In the city of his birth, on his birthday, at his birthplace.
Including wreath laying ceremony plus great speakers & musicians highlighting international solidarity & working class struggles at home.
Scotland pays more for power than rest of the UK. We generate more renewables than the rest of the UK. And now we’re getting hit with a £70 BILLION cost to connect power produced in Scotland to be sent to England. Indy NOW.
I live in the Scottish Borders , been here 17 years , I'm Scottish, the people on the English side are English
I'm sure once we're Independent I'll still be Scottish and they'll still be English
The End
“Infant mortality is now half the level in Glasgow compared to what it is in the city of Manchester. Scottish Government policies -a prepaid card for healthy foods, more health visitors doing more visits, and the universal baby box which comes with a safe sleeping mattress.”
🏴 voted to stay in the EU
London said No you're out
Scotgov voted for a DRS.
London said No
Scotgov arranged a 1.5£billion investment
London said No
Acorn Carbon capture, Grangemouth investment,
London says NoNoNo.
London is holding us back
#independence makes things happen.
🚨 #BBCQT audience member in Scotland puts it bluntly:
“We were promised we’d be better together… North Sea oil and gas stripped back, Grangemouth shut down. Why are we better together when Westminster’s ripping Scotland apart for its own benefit?”
Tory tries to answer, forgetting it was the Tories who triggered both the IndyRef and Brexit votes that tore the country apart.
Ten years after Brexit, the union feels more strained than ever. Economic grievances, resource extraction, and policy decisions made in London continue to fuel the independence debate.
The “Better Together” slogan is under serious pressure.
On these islands, the break up of the UK will be the defining political event of the next generation
It's now inevitable and will severely limit - maybe end - London's reign of imperial terror, which has lasted more than 400 years
All progressives should be 100% behind it
Gordon Brown announcing HS2 in 2009. The UK's biggest ever construction scandal. It will never be completed. It will never reach its original projected speed. Overbudget by £87.7bn. Enough to build 400 Glen Sannox ferries. FOUR HUNDRED!
Ferries fiasco? F*ck off.
