SNP Justice Secretary survives vote of no confidence.
Our thoughts are with all those with the Scottish Press and Broadcasters at this difficult time.
Despite a coordinated effort by their luminaries to break the SNP aided and abetted by the UK Unionist Establishment, they all collectively failed.

Scotland is one of the most energy-rich countries in Europe, yet families here pay some of the highest bills.

That simply does not add up. An energy-rich Scotland should mean energy-rich Scots.

This only happens at Westminster. But not only does it influence potential future British governments, but it allows English parties to significantly outspend Scottish parties in Scottish parliamentary elections.

UK democracy.
In the last twenty years, mega-donations to political parties from the super-rich haven’t just doubled.

They haven’t just trebled.

They’ve gone up sevenfold.

And that money isn’t generosity.

It’s to buy influence so politicians serve their interests, not our constituents.

It’s really simple…

- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting

…that’ll do it.

For those of you who are wondering how Scotland's national public broadcaster could ignore our national day in this way: Scotland is forced to pay for the BBC as its national public broadcaster - but, remarkably, has no control over it.

Scotland is a nation, and like every nation, we have the right to decide our own future.

With independence, we can lower energy bills, we can protect our NHS in a written constitution, and gain our own seat at the EU table.
