Independence for Scotland No flag shagging unionists, britnats or royalists.
Socialist Republic, Land reform, nationalised energy.
Imperative for our country to survive and thrive for future generations.

It frustrates me when politicians say they are making a 'hard choice' because they almost always use it to describe making the easy choice.

Targeting the powerless is easy.

Going after the rich and powerful is hard.

A narrative is recited almost everywhere: that Rachel Reeves is being "forced" to cut benefits, and is faced with "hard choices" or "no choice". This story, a staple of neoliberal doctrine, is completely false, as @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains: www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...
Is Rachel Reeves constrained by the City?
Is the City really stopping Rachel Reeves from doing what Labour wants, or is she just using it as a convenient excuse for her neoliberal austerity? This is the audio version: This is the transc...

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Did you come into politics to make poor people poorer?"

James Murray, "To put more money into people's pockets"

KGM, "250k people in poverty?"

JM, "Tackling child poverty is a priority for the Prime Minister, the Chancellor, for all of us"

KGM, "Not a very high priority"

What was important about the Spring Statement from Rachel Reeves was what it did not say - like mortgage rates are going to rise by at least one percent, alongside house prices. We really are in a mess.

Rachel Reeves’ spring statement shows we’re in an economic crisis, and she’s out of her depth.

Next time Starmer and Reeves say there's too much regulation, remember this.
This is what a deregulated economy looks like, and we all pay for it, with our health, our ecosystems and, eventually - when the massive clean-up / land abandonment bill can no longer be avoided - our wallets.
A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

As Labour targets the old, the sick & the vulnerable I’ve been thinking back to the promises Brown, Sarwar & co made at the time of our independence referendum. Do you remember? They said if we voted No we’d be “protected” by Westminster.

Have a watch.

Is the state really as inefficient as people claim? youtu.be/LB3X5r2qAL0?... Many claim that the state is inefficient, but is that because they’re simply using the wrong criterion for appraising it?

When someone says we are going to build Nuclear to 'protect our energy supply' and you find out it will take 20-25 years and cost 10x as much per Watt as Renewable.

Do you not realize it is a scam? 👇🏻

Westminster hid the McCrone report
Westminster closed Scotland’s stock exchange
Westminster enabled Brexit
Westminster forced austerity on Scotland
Westminster is stealing our oil & renewable energy

Westminster clearly doesn’t work for Scotland

When opportunity does not create an opportunity you create the opportunity and you take advantage of the opportunity to be as opportunistic as you possibly can be because that's why the opportunity came to be

Its noted BBC News omitted the mention of Gaza as one of the reasons for the mass quit.
It'll be interesting to see if this happens in other councils.
Many Labour MP's also know they're on wafer thin ice.
It's a strong statement.

For the dafties: She's only called BBC's Jackie 'Bird', because her ex-husband, Bob Bird, was Editor of The Sun, in Scotland. The Hillsborough/Phone hacking/Lady Diana crash folk. Nice family.

P.S., You also CAN'T be a Member of something that hasn't existed, since 1960.

Awkward.
