The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message:

"Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

As proved many times, It really does take a special kind of stupid to vote for any unionist party that will openly admit in their manifesto that they will take money away from Scotland. But to vote for this European snakeoil salesman, It defy's logic that anyone would be daft enough to vote for him.

Rising bills. Falling living standards. The UK economic model is broken.

Independence is the fresh start for Scotland - so we can build a wealthier, fairer nation shaped by the people who live here.

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government.

Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums.

In Scotland our electricity costs are amongst the highest in the world. Meanwhile In 2024, Scotland generated 38.4 TWh of renewable electricity and exported 19.7 TWh to other UK nations. So, about 51.3%, just over half, of Scotland’s green electricity was exported to the rest of the UK

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

BBC coverage of Reform is becoming increasingly problematic. And goes beyond the usual white noise. Continuous soft balling is not balance, it is a fundamental abdication of duty. Farage's tax issues, cranks given platforms at their conference, climate change denial. All need coverage. Most haven't.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

I’ve often wondered why Nigel Farage, who as godfather of the Brexit fiasco engineered the biggest British foreign policy disaster since Suez is continually offered so much space in some newspapers and broadcast media. Serious question. Thoughts welcome.

UK Govt has agreed a fisheries (devolved) deal with EU in principle, without any recourse, involvement or approval of Devolved Administrations. Scottish Government received no documentation or draft proposals in advance. I asked UK minister last week for this. Nothing received. Reset?

I want an inquiry to this. If it was found to be true, Farage would be destroyed as aiding Putin and the road to rejoin would be far smoother.
Put it another way, Putin loves Brexit. Having us poorer and marginalised is absolutely in his interest. #RejoinEU
In case you missed it ...
Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

‘Sir’ Robbie Gibb made no secret of it. Or his vote for Brexit. Still on the BBC board…
It was SO obvious that journos had orders from above. Anchor after anchor kept telling guests who brought it up, “let’s not relitigate the referendum.” Like that phrase had suddenly been telepathically transmitted into their brains. And anyone who pointed this out was told they were a conspiracist.
"I was actually here in 2017 when the then Prince of Wales visited... the year after we'd had the Brexit referendum. We weren't really allowed to mention the B-word. "Don't talk about Brexit."

Remember how we were gaslighted at the time for pointing out that journalists were avoiding the issue? ~AA
