Scotlands economy will flourish after independence, our revenue generated under WM rules is 3 times that England return to us as part of the block grant. Reduce corp tax by 2% for English companies to relocate their HQs to Scotland. Plenty of other incentives available

[Douglas Chapman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DougChapmanSCO]

Another kick in the guts for Scotland’s economy which is being systematically disadvantaged and undermined by the UK Government. It’s time to get out and re-build our own future. #independence

Aberdeen to Stavanger, approx. 309 miles. Aberdeen to London, approx. 543 miles. I will be supporting my neighbours and the land of my ancestors on Saturday. Hey Busman, you EngNat, who thinks Dundee is closer to Westminster than Holyrood, he must have failed Geography. 😀😀😀😀

Finally, someone is holding the International Olympic Committee accountable.

The IOC has spent years pretending that "neutral" status somehow separates russian athletes from the regime waging the largest war in Europe since World War II. Now, after restoring the russian Olympic Committee, it is facing consequences.

Estonia is calling on the European Commission to suspend EU funding to the IOC, arguing that sport must never become a backdoor for normalizing aggression. That's exactly right. Organizations that choose appeasement over principle should not expect European taxpayers to finance their hypocrisy.

🇪🇸🇺🇸 Pedro Sánchez to Trump:

​"23 years ago, the US dragged us into Iraq under the pretext of destroying Saddam's nuclear weapons and bringing democracy. No nuclear weapons were found. You cannot fool us twice!"

I want to see a Scottish gov enquiry into why the Scottish economy is half the size of Denmark and Norway
@ScotGovFM @scotgov

Why does Ireland make £2b fir its whiskey exports and Scotland only makes £4b with 80% off the market
Why is that???

So, Burnham wants to scrap Barnett, as he thinks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 gets more than 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, and that 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is the reason "The North" is struggling.

You would think he would be glad to see the back of us, and keep all that 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿taxpayers money....yet, he won't allow us to leave.

Why is that?🤔

BREAKING: French Senator Claude Malhuret TORCHES Trump and his alcoholic, drug-addicted administration on the floor of the Luxembourg Palace: "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction!"

This might be the greatest MAGA takedown of all time. Nobody was spared...

"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health," he said, referring to RFK Jr.

Malhuret's comparison to the mad Emperor Nero is fitting. It's said that he fiddled while Rome burned. In Trump's case, he's building a ballroom while the entire world goes up in flames.

"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy. An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces," Malhuret continued, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice. A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security," Malhuret went on, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Bondi previously worked for the Ballard Partners firm which raked in $115,000 a month by lobbying on behalf of Qatar.

"A Turkish proverb says 'When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus," said Malhuret. "His fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term."

"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction," he continued. "Bomb more to win more."

This is how the world now sees the American president: as a pedophile desperately exploiting his role as commander-in-chief to obscure the fact that he preyed on children with his long-time pal Jeffrey Epstein.

"There isn't a single country where Trump did not take advantage of the situation to enrich himself without ever forgetting his family. A Boeing plane offered by Qatar," he said, referring to the $400 million jet that Qatar "gifted" to Trump. "Investment in all Gulf projects or elsewhere. Stock market manipulation that only a few insiders benefit from."

"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."

Rarely have we heard such an exhaustive yet succinct distillation of the Trump administration's rampant criminality and incompetence. By focusing on individual Cabinet members and what makes them uniquely unfit for office and then expanding the aperture to the broader patterns of corruption and malignancy, Malhuret delivered a master class in political messaging.

Every mainstream outlet in the U.S. should be running this speech to show Americans what the world thinks of our leaders.

Since they won't, please make sure to like and share to spread this far and wide!

This is what really irks me. Up to the late 70s we used to build small aircraft in Scotland but I think it would be impossible now to fund a company like that here. Slovenia with a third of our population can though. We need independence desparately. https://t.co/ccm9NMpLhI

JUST IN: 🇩🇰🇺🇸 Danish reporter slammed NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte live on camera:

"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain.

Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte

"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

[Jack Straw @JackStr42679640]

Many cities abandoned electric trams not because they were inferior, but because they were too reliable and generated fewer profits. Electric tram systems could operate for decades with relatively low maintenance costs, whereas diesel and petrol buses created continuous revenue through fuel sales, frequent repairs, replacement parts, and regular fleet renewals.

Powerful interests in the oil, automotive, and private transport industries promoted buses as a symbol of "progress," despite the fact that they were less reliable, produced more pollution, and often proved more expensive over their lifetime. What was presented as modernisation was, in many cases, a step backward—driven by commercial interests rather than the public good.
