And there you have it: "If they still think we’re going to scrap the cap then they’re listening to the wrong people. We’re simply not going to find a way to do that. The cap is popular with key voters" says Labour, confirming its right-wing bias under Starmer.

Next time a unionist starts on the "so why can't my town/city/island be independent too" argument just point out that the UK Act of Union is between nations, and when people are discussing #ScottishIndependece that's what we're referring to.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch
The Handmaid's Tale.
Now.
Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA.
When a book becomes alive. Too quick.
It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong.

Campaigning for independence — Yes
A refreshed case for an independent Scotland requires a fresh campaign – a campaign that understands the new circumstances and also the modern media landscape.

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

Independence and a wellbeing economy - Bylines Scotland
A wellbeing economy seems popular with Scottish voters so what would this mean for Scottish independence and how could it be achieved?
