In some areas of Glasgow it’s apparently right wing reform supporters who have put up saltires
On the M74 near Lesmahagow Larkhall it is Saltires and Union jacks that are flying
At the protests in Glasgow and Falkirk the anti refugee camp have used Saltires and union jacks
I hope you are rightmate

These are the things that Labour stood for once upon a time. No surprise, really, that as Labour have shifted ever rightwards to try to capture the right-wing Reform vote, the English Greens are filling that egalitarian left-wing space.

I want to live in Scotland free from child poverty, where we look after the vulnerable, where people feel part of strong, supportive communities.

Organisations like Fresh Start in north Edinburgh are vital partners in building that fairer, more caring Scotland.

Thank you for all you do. 💛

Westminster & what it has done to Scotland by the Torys & the Labour, LibDems & UKIP/Reform are complicit in the damage to our country & still it continues by those blinkered unionists who need to wake up & stop with the anti SNP keech.

So, here's the proposal, unionists: let Scotland try independence for 40 or 50 years, and see how it goes. If it flops, as you believe, then imagine the gloating you'll be able to enjoy as we come crawling back. What have you got to lose?
