There really *is* no UK. There is a discontented group of countries dominated by the biggest member that regards the others at best as an afterthought, but more often as unimportant backwater regions of greater England. That attitude by politician & media is pushing the break-up of the 'UK' along.

Today, energy bills increase again across the UK.
Labour said they’d fix this - but on their watch, our energy bills are going up.
With independence, we can use our energy wealth to benefit people and bring bills down. That’s the fresh start Scotland needs. 🏴

More people than ever are getting the hip and knee operations they need.
Planned NHS procedures are up, waiting times are down, and hospital stays are getting shorter.
Still more to do, but this is real progress – thanks to the hard work of NHS staff across Scotland. 👏

“Equal partners” Theresa May, Tories
A ‘more equal union than anywhere in the world” BetterTogether
A “Union of equals and partnership” Johan Lamont, Labour.
If England decided it wanted to vote on becoming independent, do you think it would have to ask Scotland’s permission first?

Should you be contemplating voting for Reform ask their candidate on your patch what their policies are. And watch a lot of head scratching.

Hats off again to @thescotlandchannel.bsky.social for another informative video, this time on the Union Jackery that's long infested food labelling in Scotland - and why that matters.

FLAGS ON OUR FOOD AND WHY IT MATTERS
The story of flags on our food, in particular, the proliferation of Union Jacks on our grocery packaging and why it matters. We look at attempts by the British state to water down Scotland's internationally respected brand in pursuit of pushing their own political narrative and which stores in Scotl

The question for opponents of independence is if the Union is so great, how has a country as rich in resources as Scotland supposedly ended up dependent on a fiscal transfer from England to pay for basic public services & living standards inferior to those of comparable European nations?

Scottish government ministers have a wage rise freeze dating back to 2008. A minister should be paid £99,516pa but actually receives £81,449pa
voluntarily paying the difference back into public finances. I wonder why we hear so little about this and whether this would ever happen at Westminster?

The Unionists must be frightened right now, because it’s attack after attack on the SNP and ScotGov, from ferries to trains, from NHS to Education, and every attack can be fact checked and proven wrong.

Can you send Labour a copy of the bill please?
BREAKING: Australia has introduced a new bill that will limit the total spending on a party by billionaires like Elon Musk to Just $20,000
This will ban billionaires from single-handedly buying Elections in Australia.

Keep up this momentum by highlighting disappointment at getting a Labour Gov in Westminster suspiciously like the Tory Gov before it. Westminster is not the answer for Scotland, a change of Gov in Westminster is not enough. We need to make our own decisions and money. Independence now!

Amazon might deliver 'convenience', but it can’t replicate the magic of stepping into a quiet bookstore on a rainy day, where the scent of old pages mingles with fresh coffee and every shelf holds the promise of a new adventure waiting to be discovered.
