Historians would say Scots were active colonisers not colonised however British state has always been #England expanded. England had an empire before we joined it. A suppression of original #Scots culture has undoubtedly happened even if many don't realise it today.

She's dead right. Nicola Sturgeon on Keir Starmer and Anas Sarwar:

Brilliant result for Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly. The beginning of the end for Labour in Wales? Reform got beat too just like they got beat at Hamilton in Scotland.

Reform is chock full of ex Tories so it should be pretty obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that they won't actually 'reform' anything!

Can any one of us afford Scotland NOT being independent? Westminster's bad political choices affect us all.

The Tory candidate in the recent by election was an unrepentant Orangeman so the Tories by their nature are sectarian and bigoted as they wouldn't have put him up otherwise. The fact that the union flag is a favourite of all bigots and far right extremists is also incontestable.

No unionist party controlled from England has Scots best interests at heart and Reform are the worst of a bad bunch. #VoteSNP to keep the far right out of our politics.

Correct. No one is asking Starmer about independence because it's not actually up to him. The people of Scotland are sovereign not the Westminster parliament. We'll get independence when we choose to vote for it.

The more Farage reveals about the true nature of his party the more people will realise what an unappealing prospect they actually are.

Funny and accurate.

Unlike Labour the SNP will never give succour to Farage and the far right.

In reality Britain is just the imperial name for England. The Roman colony of Britannia (which the name Britain derives from) never included Scotland. The Empire was started by England and the current union only benefits England. #scotsnotbrits #scottishindependence

Trump has launched a new book "How to lose friends and not influence anyone". He says: "It's the best, just the best book, all about my foreign policy successes, like Mexico paying for the wall and my new better relationship with Canada and how I'm definitely buying Greenland."

Nicola Sturgeon certainly triggers the wee ambition Britons. It's not hard to see why. The truth cuts through lies.

British nationalism thinks it's invisible but it's really not.

It's almost like there are no experts left in the White House. I wonder why that is.
