I can read the full article as it came on a mailing list from the National. If you can't, as mentioned before, I'm signed up to the National and opted for their mailings/newsletters (no charge - so far!) so it might be worth opening an account and doing the same.

The two should really work together - would carry much more weight.

Be interesting to see how the "theme" develops and succeeds (hopefully). Bit of the quiet psychological stuff going on.

Interesting subtle change in tactics appearing from the SNP MPs - or so it seems to me. Alan Smith was much the same in debate night, very much pushing the "with Independence we could do so much more for Scots".

John Swinney @johnswinney.bsky.social · 1d

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.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

🤞 Hopefully most of the world outwith Little England is more savvy.

Yes, it currently damages Scotland and its reputation but surely come Independence producers/manufacturers will have to change their labelling to reflect its true origin and therefore remove the Butcher's Apron?

Very informative and helpful item, George. Thank you for posting this. I would encourage everyone who cares about the provenance of their food, support Scottish farmers and food producers and who wants to keep Scotland the Brand, to watch this!

Public services in public hands. 🙌

Scotland has a lower cancellation rate than every English region.

We must now invest in expanding the network, increasing capacity, and ensuring a reliable, affordable service is available for all. 🚆

Public ownership pays off. Cancellation rates 24/25. Scotland: 2%. England: 3.5%. Cancellation rates have been falling in Scotland since ScotRail was taken back into public ownership.

Anyone surprised? We'll have at least another 6-7 months of intense "Scotland's a disaster"/"SNP Baaad" ahead of us, intensifying right up to election day 🙄

busygranof6.bsky.social @busygranof6.bsky.social · 1d

The BBC continues its unbiased news of Scotland with report on how badly Scots feel that SNP have used the saltire for division and hate. However they appear to support unionists using it for division and hate by raising our flag on lamp posts. Didn’t seem to find anyone to disagree with this usage.

This is a list of the harm that has been inflicted upon us by
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.
