Did you know that polling companies commonly skew Yes/No indy statistics by using out-of-date 2014 weighting, artificially boosting No and reducing Yes totals?

Scotland is a proud European nation - today on #EuropeDay and every day.

We didn’t vote for Brexit which is causing so much damage to our economy and communities, but we know that a better future is possible.

An independent Scotland in the EU, playing its full part. 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ah, another year, another set of English "Mayors" (functionally Provincial Governors, or at least Provincial Glorified Housing and Transport Ministers) elected on lower turnout than even the lowest Scottish Council, whilst some still try to sell the idea here as one of increasing participation.

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions.

There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions.

Union membership means higher wages and better benefits.

Let’s grow the trade union movement.

Tank the market with tariffs so rich people can buy low then “pause” the tariffs and all those people make vast sums of money?

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY!
Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs.

He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check.

Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation.

Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

Electricity Prices in Scotland & BBC Scotland's spin.

Could Scotland have Europe's lowest electricity bills?
The boss of Octopus Energy says regional pricing would make bills cheaper because of abundant renewables in Scotland.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. The public ultimately picks up the tab when politicians accept gifts & hospitality from businesses. Companies don't give away free stuff out of the goodness of their hearts, they expect some benefit for their business.

UK ministers and officials treated to hospitality 3,500 times in five years, study finds
Some of firms providing meals and tickets also among those to secure most meetings in key departments

These are my thoughts, every time I wait at a crossing that takes more than a few seconds to change.

This is the worst one round here, where hundreds of school kids wait to get safely across a 40mph road. Oh, and, of course, there are always drivers who jump the red when it finally changes.

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.

Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.

People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.
