Love it. If there's one thing right-wingers hate most, it's having the piss taken out of them. It's all about their own insecurity.

“Scotland’s freedom to choose is at risk. Many in the country might be deemed to be terrorists before too long. Those who might enact such laws have already given you due warning. Now, what is to be done about it?”

Richard Murphy: How long until support for independence is made a terrorist offence?

THERE are moments when I would dearly love to return to writing about the Scottish economy in more detail, exploring how it works and how it might…

Getting the indy band back together

It’s been a good couple of weeks for hopes of Scottish independence, with some very positive opinion poll results, and signs of a new assertiveness amongst the main pro-independence parties. …

“Westminster has been quite successful at sweeping successive Scottish independence mandates under the carpet, but the addition of [pro-independence governments in] Wales and Northern Ireland will be impossible to conceal.

“That stinging verdict on the Union will be visible from outer space.”

KEIR Starmer could be forgiven for feeling a little cocky today.

If Indy supporters vote SNP1 Green2 in 2026 we could end up with a SNP Government and the Greens as the largest opposition party and becoming the official opposition. Unionist parties would be decimated and Indyref2 could not be denied. This has to be the best strategy for 2026.

Starmer's right-wing pish appeals to folk down south. But not many in Scotland or Wales, set to reject Labour for the first time in 100 yrs next May. In 2026 it’s possible all Celtic nations will support the break-up of the UK. Conceal that if you can. www.thenational.scot/politics/255...
