As Labour collapses and independence surges, the political map of Scotland redraws itself—toward self-determination. #Scotland #ScottishIndependenceASAP #ScottishIndependence

This says it all 👇

Starmer's right-wing pish appeals to folk down south. But not many in Scotland or Wales, set to reject Labour for the first time in 100 yrs next May. In 2026 it’s possible all Celtic nations will support the break-up of the UK. Conceal that if you can. thenational.scot/politics/25510…

Starmer's speech to a hall of Union Jacks & St George's flags proves the PM's focus is simply countering Nigel Farage. But he's messed up the ID card launch, riled 'racist' Reform voters & scunnered the left. So a good conference? Listen to the podcast lesleyriddoch.com/podcast

Delighted to join Jenny Gilruth to launch her The SNP re-election campaign and then to campaign with Anne Marie Caldwell our outstanding, local candidate in the Methil, Buckhaven and Wemyss Villages by-election. #VoteSNP

Brexit wasn’t our choice. Austerity wasn’t our choice. Independence is. Let’s make it real. #Scotland #ScottishIndependenceASAP #ScottishIndependence

Is rising popularity of Welsh driving Plaid's poll lead for 2026 - and what can Scotland learn from Cymru? Starmer makes another bad call letting Andrew keep title as Prince. And Burntislanders need a law change to access their own harbour - why? Listen lesleyriddoch.com/podcast

Incredible achievement by Plaid in Caerphilly. No Crown Estates cash for Wales, no HS2 compensation, Welsh water & wind energy exported to England but West Wales left with 68% of EU GDP v 614% Inner London. Chuffed to speak @Yescymru rally in Rhyl on Sat. thenational.scot/politics/25564…

Independence is normal. And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

BREAKING: After the release of an ad that caused Trump's tantrum ending trade talks with Canada, the original video of Ronald Reagan slamming tariffs has resurfaced. He called the new ad "fake." The original destroys Trump on tariffs. Share this widely.

Human rights matter.

Will Trump cut cash to NYC if leftie Zohran Mamdani wins Mayoral race today? Will public be reassured or panicked by Rachel Reeves pre- budget tough times speech? And does anyone even notice Reform manifesto pledges falling apart? Life's not fair. Listen lesleyriddoch.com/podcast
