Pro-independence for Scotland and any other peoples that want it. Doing my little bit to push this agenda along. Here for comment not argument. It's nice to be nice, so trolls, name-callers and rude people will be blocked.

1) Push independence at every opportunity, in every debate, in every by-election.
2) Promote (and fund if possible) a huge, real and dynamic new equivalent of ‘Yes’ campaign.
3) Throw every obstacle possible in front of WM’s governing Scotland. Make it as hard as they can for WM to manage Scotland.

So, here's the proposal, unionists: let Scotland try independence for 40 or 50 years, and see how it goes. If it flops, as you believe, then imagine the gloating you'll be able to enjoy as we come crawling back. What have you got to lose?

We need to do this. We have to tax the rich. Not the middle classes or the just managing - the RICH

Starmer faces cabinet revolt over tax rises that could drive wealthy away. Ridiculous.

Capital gains, dividends taxed at lower rates than wages.

Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in tax than the richest 20%.

16m live in poverty. Millions rely on food banks.

End tax perks of the rich.

Anas Sarwar was confronted at a Labour event by a Labour party member who was *furious* at Labour's plans to open up the NHS to the private sector. Of course the BBC in Scotland refused to pick up this story.

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'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.

I'm sorry, but anyone saying that Scotland can't be independent because it is uniquely incapable of doing what other countries do is either a xenophobe or suffering from a severe inferiority complex.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

This is why I deleted my Facebook account.

Yes I can be friends with people who I disagree with politically. But that means disagreements like “should more or less tax money go to this department or that one?”

It doesn’t mean “are these people human, or not?”

Meme saying: It depressed the hell out of me that people I used to consider friends have turned into people I wouldn’t tell where Anne Frank was hiding.”

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.
