If you want a good sample of anti-Gaelic racism, have a look at the comments below the quoted tweet.

The SNP ministers have voluntarily returned money to the SP to effectively freeze their salaries at the 2008/2009 level for 16 years. Now they've stopped. Nowhere in this article is any hint that the Tories will promise to freeze their salaries at 2008/2009 if elected in 2026.

Labour's Scottish region along with its Regional Manager not supporting a wealth tax really matters very little to the top brass in Labour.

An SNP led summit on how to stop right wing parties in British politics is British politics.

Lets fill the streets.

BBC News: "according to the Reuters news agency, the missile that killed at least 8 people in that aerial attack on Kyiv was a North Korean ballistic missile" Are you going to start reporting the origin of all the bombs & missiles that Israel uses to kill Palestinians in Gaza?

The UK has a military cooperation agreement with Israel and Lammy met Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar in London earlier this month. All the while Gaza is a free fire zone for Israeli murder squads. Any pompous cant on human rights from Labour is now just rank hypocrisy.

We're just over a year away from the 2026 Scot Parl elections. If the SNP leadership is going to sort out a united Yes front & make it an indy ref then they'd better start cracking. Otherwise it's going to be a "We can divvy up the block grant better than the other lot" election.

The obvious question is why compare at all? If the answer is, well, England is our closest neighbour, then why only *negative* comparisons? That's when the penny drops that this is colonial editorialising. England must be framed as the benchmark of excellence ... superior.

"The results in England demonstrate that there is a risk that the politics of Farage are going to grow and grow. The only way to deal with that is to confront it." That's British politics. The way to deal with it is to plan, hold & win a de facto referendum on the 2026 list vote.

Union Jacks, red, white and blue bunting and Labour politicians. A jingoistic celebration of vicarious nostalgia that gets bigger the further away the war gets. The only people who might remember VE day in 1945 are now 85. My father served in WW2 and he never marked VE day.

If the SNP with the rest of the independence parties don't get together and use the 2026 list vote as a de facto referendum the next opportunity won't be until 2031. The current Lab Gov or its Tory/Lab/Reform successor will never grant a standalone indy ref before 2031, or after.

Errrm. The deal is: US trebles tariffs on the UK, and in return the UK cuts tariffs by two-thirds… This from Lutnick’s chart in the White House…

Palestine has no army, no navy and no air force. This isn’t a war. It’s an extermination.

George Robertson said out loud what Labour still thinks. There is no separate Scottish identity, Scotland is just a marketing brand for whisky and tartan and we're all British and speak British (English) and there's only British (English) culture and British (English) traditions.

That this EU-fishing deal surprises STV News amazes me. The "Scottish Government" is a devolved Government of Westminster - if we want something different we vote for independence and stop moaning.

The Waverley returning to Kyle about 21:00 tonight.

The only time the Unionists punt the Scottish Government as a national government with national powers is when the UK Government has screwed up the economy. The economy of course being reserved to Westminster.
