No Scotland, No Party! 🏴🎉
🫨 The UK is now preparing for its 7th Prime Minister in 10 years. People are right to ask, when does this churn end?
Scotland deserves better than Westminster chaos, rising household bills and a Brexit we didn’t vote for.
🏴 Real change will only come with the fresh start of independence.
On a personal level, I wish Keir Starmer and his family well. Leadership places extraordinary demands on those who serve, and on the families who support them.
He has made the right decision, but what happens next must be about more than a change of Prime Minister.
People were promised change. Instead, we got broken promises, rising bills, and more Westminster instability.
The UK is now preparing for its seventh Prime Minister in ten years. People are right to ask, when does this cycle end?
Scotland deserves better than Westminster failure and a broken system where food and energy bills just keep going up.
The only real change will come with the fresh start of independence.

Dozens of countries have qualified for recent World Cups and most fans barely left a trace.
In their first World Cup week for 28 years, Scotland fans have:
Twinned Glasgow with Boston
Misplaced every traffic cone
Drank all the beer, literally
Irn Bru world record
Taken over baseball
A Guatemalan guy asked me what Yes Sir, I Can Boogie is so he could add it to his playlist 🕺
A Moroccan guy asked me about Loch Lomond (the song)
People LOVE Scotland!
What else did I miss?
Excellent to see Scotland’s long relationship with the beautiful game being celebrated this World Cup.
We’re a nation that loves football, and have done for centuries.
This particular ball might have been kicked by Mary Queen of Scots!

What a treat this was, helping to see off the world's oldest football as it makes its way to Miami for the @ScotlandNT v Brazil match.
Congratulations to the team at the Stirling @smithmuseum for sharing this extraordinary piece of footballing history with the world.
To Steve Clarke, Andy Robertson and the Scotland men’s team - best of luck as you take on Morocco tonight.
The win against Haiti was tremendous and all of Scotland is right behind you. Let’s do this! 🏴
