Very chuffed to be in this line up as Plaid builds its case for victory in 2026. Voters want change. And not just in the direction of Reform. @AUOBCymru nation.cymru/news/thousan...

2nd part of our day was spent up at Loch Turret, scary road up the mountain but totally worth it even when a strong gust caused me to lose my balance at the edge of the single track road.

All the more reason for Scottish Independence.

In my experience, Scots hate being told what to do just like most of us Americans.

Please help this cockwomble reach the Find Out stage. We're trying to do the same over here across the pond.

Labour likes to criticise our Scottish Government for NHS Scotland performance. But it could be a lot worse - try living in England, where Labour controls the NHS.

A nine day wait at A&E... and the BBC doesn't even mention Labour!

I forgot that Margaret Thatcher was really a Scottish Nat who bestowed wealth on Scotland and not funnell gas/oil receipts into tax cuts for the rich, dole queues and the boom in London and SE of England didn't really happen. I forgot that Scottish Steel is a world leader now because of Westminster

Aye. I forgot about Scotlands macroeconomic powers & having the wealth of riches that the Chancellor has. I forgot that Scotland got every single penny of oil & gas receipts to invest in a wealth fund like Norway did. I forgot that a 17yr Ðevolved Gov is able to mitigate the poverty of a 300yr Union

My latest blog post, Scotland stands at a fork in the road, democracy and decency with independence or impoverishment and authoritarianism in the UK.

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.

Half of Scotland's land is owned by less than 1% of the people. We have some of the most unequal land distribution in Europe!

It's time to curb the power of super rich land hoarders and start giving ordinary Scots and communities new opportunities.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.
