Whose bright idea was this? Make the punters too drunk to realise/bother with what the politicians are/are not up to, or too hung over the next day to work anyway?!

So, Starmer is going to be visiting Scotland more often in the months leading up to GE2026. Maybe the media could get off their arses and ask him these questions.

I've bluesky'd this to every unionist MSP or MP in Scotland. Got just two dismissive and arrogant responses. Share this. Send it to your MP/MSP. Keep asking until they answer and explain.

Held back not just by WM treating Scotland as an afterthought, but because WM grabs everything and gives back the equivalent of pocket money - then informs the gullible that Scotland isn't spending the money it hasn't got.

John Swinney @johnswinney.bsky.social · 20h

Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

Today I have published our latest paper on what it could look like: www.gov.scot/publications...

Yes, it makes sense . . .

Independence, back in the EU, ditch the monarchy, welcome immigration, export levy on our energy, plant potatoes on Trump's golf courses.

If that's the case either we'll all have to go "private" or somehow foreign doctors will have to be brought in. Nothing against foreign docters as such, but not sure how many would want to come - especially if they can't bring their families with them.

I think I heard it right but Kemi Badenoch has just said the Tories will ban doctors from striking. If so, I don't see doctors of any variety wanting to stay in the UK - unless of course they're in the private sector when they will be able to charge what they like.

I find it odd that they are not reporting that this is radioactive waste from a site decommissioned 31 years ago!! There is a beach close by, that still has warning signs saying it could be radioactive, why the fuck would they want to make more of this?

Westminster just wants to use Scotland as a dumping ground for their own nuclear waste, trying to push nuclear power stations in Scotland is just a cover for their devious plans.
Time Scotland left them to it.
