Remember Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme? It was apparently controversial because the SNP & Greens wanted to include glass. It was their fault DRS was delayed. So why isn’t the Welsh DRS controversial? Why isn’t Labour being blamed for this delay?
“The Tories have given us years of austerity and @theSNP have had no darned choice because they can only spend what Westminster has given them … That is Scotland’s problem … Scotland is given what WM wants to give it and it doesn’t get a choice”

They say: "It was a union fully entered into by both sides, read the history books."
History books written by the coloniser do indeed tell us this is what happened. The reality was very different, and the primary evidence directly contradicts it - including the testimony of those who supported the Union.
Scotland was subjected to military threat and economic blockade, and forced into negotiations hobbled by a team chosen by the English monarch.
The creation of a new Kingdom of Great Britain was a condition of the Treaty and Acts themselves. Those Acts were then passed by a legislature acting under coercion - and one that lacked the competence to alienate sovereignty in the first place. It held delegated authority; it didn't own what it purported to give away. Coercion compounded the illegality. The sovereign constitutional process was then cut short by a Royal proclamation dissolving the Parliament, despite it being legally due to reconvene on the 22nd April 1707.
The English Parliament at the same time was prorogued, renamed, and continued - not a new institution, but the English Parliament, renamed, absorbing a few Scottish representatives.
No new kingdom was created, nullifying the coerced agreement on its own terms. The English Parliament, Crown, and constitution simply continued and were extended to Scotland.
That is an annexation under international law, and under the specific instruments of the period - the Claim of Right (1689), the coronation oath (1702), and salvo jure cujuslibet, operative in Scots constitutional law from at least 1594.
Its continuation into the 21st century means it is justiciable under modern law, and that is where it now is. A referendum conducted under the authority of the administering power cannot constitute free ratification - that condition has never been met.
The UK is not the adjudicator of its own annexation.
To be clear @D_G_Alexander it is a £40m project with £20m from Ryanair, £15m from the Scottish government and £5m from the UK government.
The key figure credited with organising the Ryanair–Prestwick deal was Kate Forbes, Scotland's Deputy First Minister.
Tawdry Labour
Scotland has the lowest level of corridor care in the UK. Labour run Wales has the highest.
Wales - 28%
N. Ireland - 26%
England - 18%
Scotland - 7%
You'll never see this impressive stat reported by BBC Scotland.
Anas Sarwar, before the general election, was twice asked in BBC interviews which manifesto Labour candidates in Scotland were standing on. Twice he confirmed they'd be standing on the Scottish Labour manifesto. Kirsty McNeil confirmed to the BBC this was not true.
Why is Sarwar not being pursued over this? He very clearly lied to the BBC. He also lied to the electorate over what they were voting for.
😮 CEO of Octopus energy on Sky News yesterday morning -
“If we did location pricing, every region would be cheaper
Scotland would go from the most expensive electricity in Europe - to the cheapest.”
Imagine if BBC Reporting Scotland & STV News reported on the catastrophic effects of Brexit on Scotland's economy as it has with the whole hysteria around the 'the ferry'.
That's the problem right there. Folk have to imagine that kind of news coverage because it doesn't happen.
Northern Ireland can have a constitutional referendum every 7 years , their elected representatives DO NOT swear an oath to an English monarch
Why is this not the same in Scotland?
@JohnSwinney@ScotGovFM May 2026 is too important for Scotland’s liberation , it must be country before party .

Annemarie Ward is currently on the Kaye Adams phone-in stating that there is no evidence that drug consumption rooms work.
Here is a clip of her stating clearly that "There is a massive evidence base for consumptions rooms."
She has zero credibility.
Labour lied to the Waspi women.
Starmer, Sarwar, Baillie, Laird and Rayner.
This clip sums the lying b4stards up. Please share folks. @ScottishWaspi#waspiwomen
Labour in Scotland must surely be outraged and demanding a reversal on the utter shameful betrayal of the #WaspiWomen by Keir Starmer, the indistinguishable from the Tories Labour leader in Westminster
Labour's @GlasgowPam promised this to the WASPI Women. Her position is now untenable. She should tender her resignation from the Scottish Parliament forthwith:
