What did Scotland get in return for our massive oil wealth?
A9 dualled? A96 dualled? Cheaper energy? Cheaper food? Cheaper public transport?
We got Thatcher, our kids killed fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, Boris Johnson, Decades of austerity, our FoM stripped from us and next up Nigel Farage. UK👎🏼

2026 is not 2011. Not only is the cast different, but instead of a PM who expected victory in a referendum, we have one who constantly says there will not be another. Time to ditch the begging bowl.

What can you tell us of the Nakba?

Well done Maria Corina Machado.
A Venezuelan winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Venezuela is seemingly being lined up for attack by one Donald J Trump.
Nobel looks kinda like they've slapped the orange jobby down

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

The problem isn't that the UK is an unethical, corrupt, criminal, lying, thieving, destroyer of Scotland's future. The problem is that UK supporters don't care.

A Fresh Start with Independence

As a nation state within the EU, Scotland could have freedom of movement both within the EU and the UK through the Common Travel Area, allowing service companies to draw from a combined population of over 500 million people.

Rising bills. Falling living standards. The UK economic model is broken.

Independence is the fresh start for Scotland - so we can build a wealthier, fairer nation shaped by the people who live here.

Why do politicians think they're invisible and we dont have memories?
Why do they think they can fuck us up with complete impunity?
When are we getting the Covid billions back? Who's being prosecuted? You'd never reemploy a mechanic who wrecked your car engine...
