The SNP were ultimately responsible for closing Grangemouth but their whataboutery is unbelievable. The SNP war cry is always…..”it wiznae us”. Their blame game is always Westminster which they condemn for all their own woes and catastrophic failures.

Scotland is energy rich, yet we’re paying some of the highest energy prices in Europe - why did Labour let Grangemouth shut on their watch?

Excerpt from upcoming response to the 2nd Report, 2026 (Session 6) of the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee of the Scottish Parliament,
‘Options for a legal mechanism for triggering any independencereferendum’
Here is the inescapable logic which demonstrates either the nullity of the UK’s legal authority in Scotland or else that of the Scotland Act. One or the other is illegitimate:
1. The Treaty and Acts of Union 1706/1707 are characterised by the British state as the foundational instruments of the United Kingdom. (These are said to have created the new, kingdom state of Great Britain, its Parliament, and the legal order within which all subsequent statutes operate). In other words, it is from this constitutional ‘arrangement’, from the foundational instruments that are the Treaty and Acts of Union, that the UK derives its authority in Scotland.
If this characterisation holds good, if the Treaty and Acts are the foundational instruments of the United Kingdom, then the UK Parliament, as a creature of those instruments, possesses no inherent power, nor any power it can claim to have otherwise derived, to override, subordinate, or make “subject to” its own, later enactments the instrument that brought it into being. To assert such a power is to claim that the creature is superior to its creator - a logical and legal impossibility.
2. Section 37 of the Scotland Act ,1998, which provides that the Acts of Union have effect “subject to the provisions of the Scotland Act 1998”, purports to effect precisely the subordination of the creator, the Treaty and Acts of Union, to the creature, the Parliament created by them. The Parliament at Westminster here openly assumes the right to alter the terms of its own creation. This is the equivalent of a child claiming the right to modify its own birth certificate. The fact that this claim has continued unchallenged since 1998 diminishes neither its constitutive incoherence nor its gravity.
No lawful statutory provision can thus alter the hierarchical supremacy of a founding treaty absent a surviving party to that treaty with amendment authority.
3. The UK Government, through its representative organs and authorities, asserts that the original contracting parties, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, were extinguished by the Union and have no continuing legal personality. If this assertion holds good, then no party remains with authority to alter of the Treaty’s terms.
Conclusion: The pre-eminence of the Treaty and Acts of Union cannot be altered by Westminster unless they do not in fact, provide, define or limit its authority in any way. If they do not provide it with its constitutional authority, however, then there no constitutional basis for that authority exists and nor does any lawful ‘union’.
In other words, either the Acts of Union remain part of the unalterable, constitutional foundation of the UK and any later enactment that purports to subordinate these to a mere statute of their created instrument, (a union parliament), is legally void. Or the Acts of Union do not form part of the unalterable, constitutional foundation of the UK. In that case, however, they cannot confer legitimacy on the UK government in Scotland.
Only one or the other can be the case. Accordingly, a consistent and lawful constitutional position dictates that either:
· the Scotland Act 1998 - to the extent that it conflicts with or subordinates the Acts of Union - is ultra vires and void ab initio;
or
· the UK must articulate a new, coherent legal basis for its jurisdiction in Scotland. No such basis, however, exists.
The position of the UK government is legally untenable. It cannot derive its authority from a treaty and ratifying acts while maintaining that the Westminster Parliament is entitled to alter their terms at will. Thus, the Scotland Act 1998, detaches the UK state from the Treaty and Acts of Union and its claim to be the creation of a voluntary partnership falls. It must be seen, instead, as a kind of self-constituting, self-licensing entity without any fixed constitutional foundation. Its jurisdiction over Scotland no longer rests on a claim of original consent, treaty obligation or any partnership agreement but becomes purely a matter of continued, de facto possession. This speaks of conquest or occupation, not partnership or law.
The Scotland Act may define the competence of the Scottish Parliament to determine matters of Scottish policy but it simultaneously removes the basis for its own legal competence: it purports to subordinate the Acts of Union to itself, a mere statute, when it is from these that the authority of the Parliament that passed it - and therefore its own legitimacy - derives. In doing so, it cancels itself. No valid process of self-determination in Scotland can possibly occur on this basis.

@CMochan The only answer for Scotland is to govern ourselves. Independence is the answer to many of Scotland's issues.

The Labour Party should always be the political voice for working class people ✊
Dave Ward@DaveWardGS
We are at a crossroads. Labour must unapologetically become the party of the working class again. If the party isn’t willing to rise to that challenge then we need to make them.

Mike Tyson was just 21 years old when he went 12 hard rounds with the undefeated Tony Tucker to become the youngest undisputed heavyweight champion ever 🥊
Tyson showed he was more than just knockout power—elite head movement, pressure, ring IQ, and nonstop aggression. One of the most complete performances of his prime. 👑

Where’s the left wing offering in Scottish politics?
No matter what Indy die-hards say, it’s not the SNP.
Neither is it the Scottish Greens.
The most heartbreaking thing is that it wasn’t in Scottish Labour’s manifesto either.
Scottish Labour must go back to our roots.
