FACT CHECK: Colour me shocked 😲 but Starmer was lying in parliament. During PMQs.
Again.
Anything to try & make the Scottish government look bad.
Westminster does not care about Scotland.
Independence Now.

Just home from The Dreaming Spires at Rum Shack in Glasgow. Wasn't going to go but glad I did. What a great band, they deserve more recognition.

They ignored us when we voted to stay with the EU, Brexit was foisted upon us after being dragged out, the UK economy is in dire straights due to Brexit and a fiscally incompetent Westminster Gov where we again pay the price of being part of this unequal Union, it’s time for #ScottishIndependence 🏴

This is why I watch foreign news - e.g. UK, Australia. Even non-English speaking countries (France, Germany, Japan) produce English language news programs.
Not saying they're perfect, but their cultural coverage is superior and at least they call BS when necessary.

Political violence and threats are not the answer.
This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.
We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
