Yousef Munayyer: "People are hoping this is the end of the genocide.. the world is relying on a convicted felon in the White House to ensure that an indited war criminal that leads the Israeli govt is going to do the right thing.. I'm sceptical that it moves beyond the first phase"

In an independent Scotland, we should be reclaiming all land from foreign landlords immediately, if not sooner.

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.

Imagine how much easier life would be if Scotland was independent.

Cheaper bills mean more money in your pocket, taking some of the financial strain off families.

"Spain’s rapid renewables build-out means its power prices were set by fossil generation just 19% of the time, down from 75% in 2019. As a result, wholesale electricity was almost a third cheaper than the EU average"

Imagine having cheaper power

The UK government want to use Scotland as a dumping ground for their nuclear waste. They don't particularly care about nuclear energy, not when they can continually steal Scotland's renewable energy.
