Since Nicola Sturgeon resigned Scotland has been subjected to a media feeding frenzy the like of which we've not seen since 2014. No the SNP is not perfect, humans are not perfect, but no one can possibly govern a country better than people who live in that country #independence 🏴

what do rich people do with their money? they hide it in tax free islands in the caribbean where it does no one any good at all.
what does everyone else do with their money? spend it, into the economy where it goes round supporting shopkeepers, businesses, suppliers and services.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social on taxing the rich: "This is about inequality. For decades now poor people have got poorer and rich people have got richer... the money [raised] is important but the real point is about tackling inequality.. we need to get those assets flowing around the economy"

Dounreay nuclear power station last produced electricity 30+ years ago, yet decontamination is expected to last until the 2070s and cost £8Bn, with full decontamination of the site estimated to take more than 300 years. Now Westminster wants to build *more* nuclear power stations in Scotland.

when you think Labour have reached the bottom of the barrel, the scrape away at it, and find another level.
Hey Labour
Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?
We're still over here 👋

Independence is FOR something, it's not just an end point, an end in itself but a beginning of self government to raise ourselves up and away from the dead hand of Westminster #independence.
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.

quick trip to RSPB Loch Leven. A shy red squirrel, a wood brown butterfly and thousands of pink-footed geese. A fantastic autumn spectacle.
