Who would want incompetent English parties like Labour in charge of Scotland? Westminster still retains many important powers, like controlling our money and borders.

Starmer isn't Britain's worst ever prime minister, but he is Labour's worst ever prime minister and it's not even close

The narcissism of small differences, self-destructive factionalism, ever-decreasing circles of disproportionate viciousness…. I read this as a description of those involved in ‘your party’ and I had a dawning sad realisation that it also describes my ‘tribe’, the Scottish YES movement !!

Well researched, accurately argued, a must-read for all interested in Land Reform in Scotland.
Why Land Reform in Scotland will go nowhere without a land tax
The Danish billionaire Lego heiress, Sofie Kirk Kristiansen, recently purchased 3,525 hectares of land in Ross and Cromarty in the West Highlands for £25,2m.

Lego heiress expands Highland estate with £25m land purchase - The Times Scotland doesn’t tax these landholdings. Consequently the Danish Govt does tax their overseas holdings. So Denmark raises funds from our land because we don’t bother to do so. It’s shameful when we must alleviate child poverty

The news that the Port of Aberdeen is to offer its workers voluntary redundancy is deeply worrying

The decline in offshore oil & gas activity at the harbour without renewables growth is grim.

Labour must realise that there can be no just transition without offshore workers.

Staying in the 'Union' is a race to the bottom of the barrel.
Scotland can do so much better with full fiscal autonomy.
Another day, another Labour attack on disabled people. The scheme is devolved in Scotland, the tax exemptions which Reeves is proposing to axe are not, but Scot Gov has not been consulted. Anything to avoid raising taxes on the wealthiest, eh?

Westminster-controlled “Scottish” parties would rather defend their leaders failures at Westminster than recognise the success of Scotland’s policies.

They’ll defend Westminsters failures and attack Scotland’s achievements.

That tells you all you need to know about where their loyalties truly lie.
