In 2014 Better Together used Project Fear to frighten our elderly and those gullible into an anti independence viewpoint. Unionism has since led Scotland into an ever increasing cycle of failure, fraud and now Farage.
Scotland's failure was Better Together's actual outcome for us all.

The coming Scottish election is now a battle of two nationalisms: the menacing MAGA-inflected British nationalism of Reform, or the inclusive ‘civic nationalism’ of the SNP

Grangemouth, Scunthorpe, Ardrossan harbour and English Water all show the massive folly that was the privatisation of essential infrastructure. All need to be nationalised now, along with the energy companies and Royal Mail.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

In 1700, both Sweden & Scotland had a population of approximately 1.25 million. Sweden's population is now 10.6 million, Scotland's is 5.4 million. That is an indicator of the extent to which Scotland's natural growth has been held back by being a part of the UK.

Here are the Red Tories in Scotland who seem happy to:

1. End the winter fuel payment
2. Keep the 2-child-cap
3. Pick up a £91,346 salary + expenses.

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.

They would make hundreds of billions from this.

That is what they want.

Octopus Energy explaining why Scotland should have some of the cheapest energy bills in Europe rather than the highest simply because we don’t control our own energy , it’s crazy #ScottishIndependence octopus.energy/blog/regiona...
How zonal pricing could make bills cheaper
How zonal pricing could give Scotland the cheapest power in Europe... and give everyone else in the UK cheaper power too.

This, by my good friend @para-handy.bsky.social is one of the best quotes ever and a great one to use in a conversation with doubters.

"Scotland is the only part of the UK that that can feed, water, fuel and power itself"
