There is only one way for Scotland to restore its independence. Not by ‘asking’. Not by begging. Independence can only be restored by TAKING it back. Always Scottish never British 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊🏼

Just a few weeks ago our SNP membership overwhelmingly passed a motion at conference which acknowledged that if domestic energy production is less carbon intensive than imported energy, then to produce it here is the responsible choice. If Scotland had had control over our resources from the beginning, then we would be sitting with a wealth fund worth over £1 trillion. Just think what £1 trillion invested into Scotlands renewable sector would look like now. But that wealth doesn’t exist, because Westminster squandered the opportunity and denied us our potential. We won’t let them play the same trick twice, and that’s why the membership, MSPs, MPs and Ministers all voted to put Scotlands energy in Scotlands hands.

Only 9 countries in the world proscribe Hamas as a terrorist organisation , the UK , Israel and America are the top 3
Police arrested a young man in a wheelchair under terrorism laws while he was outside the Supreme Court, after making a public statement in support of Palestine Action, coinciding with a legal appeal hearing held inside the court.

This is one of the deceptive, underhanded propaganda tools used very frequently by BBC Scotland. They tell a deliberate lie, get it out there for people to see, then publish a correction in a hidden corner of their website that no one will see.

Andy Burnham is hiding the results or the cost of taxpayer-funded polling on support for Scottish independence, despite claiming he doesn’t know if there is a clear consensus among Scots for leaving the UK as the reason for blocking a second referendum. #News4Scotland

They say Scotland is too small, too poor and too incapable of governing itself? Clearly Denmark, Finland, Ireland and Norway never got that memo! The question isn't whether Scotland can be independent. It's why unionists are so terrified of letting us go... We would THRIVE!

A BLAST FROM THE PAST 2021, told of my cancer, and yet I'm still here. I look puffy faced, voice thin; recorded sound is bit tinny. I'm sticking to that excuse. But where is video man Phantom Power these days?

This is what treacherous house jocks aid and abet for their masters in London, and what yoons vote for. They get what they deserve, but we don’t.

Exactly why they should not be built
New documents released by the Scottish government under a freedom of information request show that data centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts. Sky's @emmabirchley explains. trib.al/ViooyB0 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233

Bastards. Evil, inhumane bastards.
A group of Israeli settlers have seized eight Palestinian homes on Wednesday in Jericho, located in the occupied West Bank.  Palestinian sources reported that the settlers, accompanied by their families, stormed the eight homes, which were empty at the time of the raid

The Chancellor admitted that Scotland’s energy wealth would now be over £1 trillion. But this wealth doesn’t exist — because the UK Government squandered it and pocketed the profits. And that’s why Scottish households are paying £1200 more for their energy bills than Labour promised. Taking control of our energy is not only crucial to build the wealth for Scotland’s future — it’s the only way to ensure that energy rich Scotland isn’t paying some of the highest bills across Europe.

For a young person at the beginning of their career and working life, then this budget is a cold, hard confirmation that this new iteration of a Labour government is no better than the last. Young people in Scotland deserve to feel hopeful. They deserve to have ample opportunities — to earn, to save, to work, to contribute to our society and to feel as though they are being respected and rewarded in return. That is not what this budget offers them. That is not what this Labour Government offers them.
