The moment Westminster says Scotland must ask permission to decide its own future is the moment the argument for independence makes itself.
A nation that needs permission to choose its future isn’t in a partnership of equals!
It's oppression dressed up as democracy...
Another day on the road, another chance to hear directly from Labour members.

I’m taking this campaign across Scotland because the future of our party won’t be decided in the Holyrood bubble, it will be built in our communities.
Scottish Nationalists keep going on about a pro independence majority in parliament and that’s a mandate for a referendum.Well let’s put this to bed once and for all.
1/ You can’t have a mandate for something that’s out of a devolved parliaments control.
2/ it’s was an election on many issues not just one
3/ A parliament cannot have a mandate the winning party sets the agenda of governing .
4/ The SNP said they needed a majority they failed.
5/ The SNP lost 6 seats and 500K votes
6/ The SNP also lost heavily at the general election losing all but 9 MPs now down to 8.
7/ The greens did not have independence in their manifesto
8/ The Supreme Court ruled the Scottish Parliament cannot hold a referendum.
In conclusion the SNP have no mandate apart from to run a devolved administration and the Scottish Parliament cannot legislate for constitutional changes to hold a referendum which is outside of devolution as ruled by the Supreme Court.
“Muchos miles de personas marchan en Hamburgo, Alemania
Multitudes salieron a las calles de Hamburgo, Alemania, en una gran muestra de apoyo a Palestina.”
El pueblo alemán cada vez se parece menos al gobierno alemán.
Este es Mohammed Saed, un niño palestino de 6 años, perdió ambas piernas por los bombardeos sionistas y ahora vive en la miseria de las tiendas de campaña, en los campos de refugiados de Gaza.
Debido a la falta de medios, el niño apenas puede desplazarse usando un patín.
Stephen Kerr has never won a Scottish Parliament constituency seat. Ever.
Despite that, he has received approx. £369,000 in MSP salary since 2021 - plus expenses.
He lost in 2021.
He lost again in 2026.
Both times by huge margins.
He only entered Holyrood through the regional list.
🚨 BREAKING:
This is absolute courage. 🔥
🇺🇸 Governor Tim Walz: "We've had enough. A weak, reckless, foolish president dragged us into a war nobody wanted. There was no threat, no objectives and no exit plan. This is pure fascism."
"What courage." 🔥👏
FACTS MATTER
In the last 12months 50,200 people moved from the rest of the UK to Scotland
* 41,600 people moved from Scotland to the rest of the UK
* Therefore, Scotland gained 8,600 people net from the rest of the UK
NOW
ASK YOURSELF
WHAT ELSE IS THIS GUTTER RAG LYING ABOUT🤔
Quite pathetic from the BBC. As a foot soldier of the Tartan Army in Boston I know that our presence alone gained millions in the hearts and minds of American society. As FM, John was there to capitalise on the soft diplomacy we achieved. Only BBC Shortbread would object.
Labour blocked a Chinese firm's £1.5bn factory in the Highlands to 'avoid aligning with SNP' in support of the plan, a former UK business secretary has alleged 👇
Massive shift: The UAE has just made a stunning U-turn, joining Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia in a blistering joint statement condemning Israel. They are demanding an immediate withdrawal to 1967 borders and a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem.
Abraham Accords? Officially in the trash. 🚨🔥
I see the Epstein class in @IDF is at it again. These kids are being detained on espionage charges. For the love of God write to your MPs and save these kids from this paedophile regime now.
So in a nutshell, Labour deprived Scotland of hundreds of jobs and a national renewable energy industry because ... they hate the SNP. Have you ever heard anything quite so petty - other than all the other petty stuff they do because they hate the SNP? Give me strength.
Swinney flies US to support 🏴 national football team and build business. His sports minister flies economy. BBC in meltdown. Starmer flies private jet - £60000 - for 1 game at the Euros, BBC not a sausage, ditto profligate 'royals' flying here, there, everywhere. State bias.
ANTI-SCOTTISH INDUSTRIAL SABOTAGE BY UK GOV:
Former @scotgov economics minister, Kate Forbes, said at the time that the decision was ‘simply, sabotage of Scotland’s industrial future’.
Even Vince Cable agrees...

Grangemouth workers who lost their job when the refinery closed will be comforted by the news the Labour Govt is to invest £1.3bn in a theme park in Bedfordshire. The Universal United Kingdom Resort.
If an MP does a second job, why isn't their salary reduced accordingly?
Therefore, if their second job earns them more than £98k* they'll receive £0 MP salary.
It's what happens to Universal Credit recipients.
