John Swinney stated he has a secret plan to achieve Scottish independence if the party wins a majority in next year’s Holyrood election.
Saying he had “tactics” he would deploy to override Sir Keir Starmer’s veto to another vote.
“Keep watching because Scotland’s on the journey to independence.”

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Great to see publicly owned ScotRail doing its bit for the half term next week. £50 Family Pass, allows for 1 week of unlimited travel across Scotland for up to two adults and four children 👏

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

Initial reaction: This needs needs stopping. I've no idea what the aim is here but Scotland shouldn't be 'bought' like this 🤷‍♀️
To me this could be a hostile land grab blocking oor access to the coast & perhaps something more sinister

Far too much of Scotland's land is hoarded by a small group of the extremely rich.

But we can change that.

Scottish Greens are working to strengthen the upcoming Land Reform Bill to boost community ownership and put Scotland’s land in Scotland’s hands.

Public 'overwhelmingly' supports bigger changes on land reform, say charities

SCOTS overwhelmingly support bigger changes on land reform, a coalition of charities has said following a public consultation ...

Right now I’d settle for our local councils not selling our land to properly developers and build some houses ourselves

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 10h

This narrative doesn't make sense. You can't blame Brexit for harming the economy ... (UK businesses, for example, lose £37bn a year due to a drop in EU trade) ... yet at the same time categorically rule out returning even to the Single Market. So Starmer needs to do a masssive U-turn or step down.

Starmer ‘planning to blame Farage and Brexit’ for budget tax hikes

Sir Keir Starmer has been ramping up his attacks on Nigel Farage in recent weeks as Labour falls behind in the polls

Thank you

The affordable homes aren’t really affordable if you are single! My daughter is 37 and still lives with us. The last social housing built in our area were built over 20years ago and it was 8. was told the reason was they don’t have the land! Well they won’t as they keep selling it off to developers!

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.
