Reporting Scotland last night prompting Small Nuclear Reactors for Scotland. Beware!

We produce four times the natural gas we consume and transfer huge amounts of electricity to the rest of the UK – we don’t need nuclear.
There are only two SMRs running in Russia and China – not tried and tested.

Hi Suella Braverman, when are you going to call a by-election now you’ve defected?

Your new leader Nigel Farage calls those that don’t “dishonourable members”.

When @theSNP took power 18 years ago, the top 20 most deprived areas of the UK, were ALL in Scotland.

Today,
The top 20 most deprived areas of the UK, are ALL in England.

I’ll take that as a positive governance of Scotland.

Short video – Dear voter, sick of the other parties and tempted by Reform UK? Don’t be daft. Don’t do it. They’re not your friends. Unless you are already rich, this report proves that they will only make your life and your family’s lives worse

Labour's plans for new nuclear in Scotland are both stupid and horrifically dangerous.

Holyrood has a #PR system so why are we trying to apply First Past The Post rules? Join us at 8pm as we try and figure out just what kind of majority counts as a mandate.

Voting in far-right politicians didn't go too well during the 1930s.

It cost 45 million dead.

We would do well to remember this,

#youyesyet - if only to defend continued public ownership of our water?

Regulations have failed, and shareholders have extracted enormous profits while water bills have rocketed
We need real change, not half measures
Public ownership is the only solution"

We always enjoy chatting with Lesley and envisaging the kind of country we could aspire to create - there is much we can still learn from #Finland
In this week's podcast we chat with @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social about her new film about Finland and some of the key concepts that Scotland can learn from including education, trust, security, practicality and much more.

An independent Scotland should follow the Nordic model in all of these areas.
