The Westminster race to the right has left families struggling while the rich get richer.

We can build a fairer future. A fresh start with independence.

Join me at 3pm as I set out that hopeful vision for Scotland.

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.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

Independence is about giving Scotland a fresh start - and a chance to build an economy that works for us.

A future where all decisions are made by people who live here.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Pro-Palestine marches have become ‘carnivals of hatred’, Badenoch tells Tory conference.

yes, all those frail OAPs sitting silently with placards, are apparently "carnivals of hatred."

unlike those lovely peaceful far-right Tommy Robinson supporters we saw recently, actually attacking the police..
