73 year old Scot. Longs for Scottish independence. Strong dislike of Tories, Labour and the SNP, the latter party having sold us down the river.
Have total sympathy for Palestine and the zionist GENOCiDE being inflicted upon it.
Modern labour ( post blair ) are NOT to be confused with old labour ( Atlee, Hardie, Bevan etc ). They were real socialists.
This is a first. Many people warned before the election that NuLabour were 'Lying Red Tories'. Sadly, many didn't believe this in Scotland. Remember it in 2026.

Hate to say it but some womens games are more entertaining to watch than their male counterparts.
Women's football is booming in Scotland! ⚽️

Scotland Women’s matches being broadcast on free-to-air TV has taken the game into living rooms across the country and undoubtedly helped bring new people to the sport.

Tonight’s match against Finland, shown live on BBC Scotland, will be no different.

Requires immediate re-nationalisation.
That's profit from owning the Electricity Transmission that they spend only £150m a year maintaining, and that you used to own only 20 years ago.

Another £100 a year on everyone's bills for their profits.

In Scotland everybody gets a Winter Fuel Payment, everybody gets free prescriptions, everybody gets free university.

It's time to stop talking about Scottish Independence, and start talking about them leading the Union.

Labour = Tories
Labour is nothing more than a placeholder waiting for Tory/Reform to get their shit together.
1. The implicit deal behind Starmerism was this: you might not like what he stands for (or fails to stand for), but at least he knows how to win elections. If you want the Tories out, he’s your only hope.
But now? It’s as if he’s going out of his way to lose in 2029. 🧵

If here illegally they require prompt deportation back to country where they can apply legally at local British embassy. Best of luck there.
I’m fed up of hearing politicians and journalists talking about immigrants as if they’re not people. Repost if you agree!🚨🚨🚨

If Scotland wants to reinvent itself with Scottish independence

We are smart and we will do this

Starmer is partnering up with Blackrock, the most criminally corrupt shadow bank on the planet who employ people to discredit net zero.
Their next move will be to privatise nations, do you get that? Public services are small potatoes to these people. 'Countrypreneurship' has found its home in SEZs.
Excessive deregulation means that the UK is hurtling towards the next crash
Deregulation creates opportunities for bankers to take reckless risks with other people’s money, collect bonuses and destabilise economies.

❌ Despite promising ‘Change’, Labour removed the Winter Fuel Payment from 900,000 pensioners immediately.

Lorna thank you for saying it the way you did
I was thinking that exact same thing I just did a lot of legal fighting today, my brain is not working but you said it perfectly
It supports my analogy of bad crop good crop that sometimes you have to plant on a different field to yield fruit
Feels like the #ScottishIndependence movement got a much needed kick up the Indy arse by the huge flood of alleged extremists to BlueSky reigniting everyone's campaigning enthusiasm.

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

Czech Billionaire Daniel Křetínský is taking over Royal Mail for £3.5bn.

His first step is to halve mail deliveries which will save £300m by getting rid of staff.

Prices will go up, employee's down, services down.

And every penny in profit goes to his tax haven accounts.
