Ash is one of the very few Holyrood MSPs who isn't a disgrace to the chamber. Please help re-elect her if you can.

The Four Bars of England and Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland are deeply concerned that the government is planning to restrict the right to a jury trial in England and Wales. Being tried by a jury of one’s peers is a fundamental cornerstone of the criminal justice system in our respective jurisdictions. The curtailment of jury trials has predictable negative consequences, including undermining the public’s trust and confidence in our criminal justice systems. Trial by a jury is long established and respected throughout the common law world for its veneration of democratic ideals, its age, gender and ethnic inclusiveness, and its respect for citizens’ and judges’ roles in the administration of justice. The Four Bars stand as one in opposition to this proposal. Legislation is still some time away - the government has time to listen to the views we express and to change course.

What’s that you say? Double standards at the Scottish Parliament? Different rules for those in and out of favour with the establishment?

Don’t miss out, readers!

@Slovdave The 95% tax plus duty and 78% on o&g entirely reserved to uk treasury. Independence sorts those ones out.

@PhantomPower14 Are you sure it isn't the SNP/Greens net zero bollocks.....? 🤣🤣

Scotch whisky and oil & gas hammered again. The biggest threat to Scotland’s economy is the UK Govt. #budget

This interview shows the jaw dropping economic illiteracy of Ed Miliband regarding energy prices and taxation. Despite his economic illiteracy, he’s in charge of Britain’s energy policy. And his net zero obsession is jeopardising our economic and energy security.

Pitchside audio of all the goals 🗣️ What a noise 😮‍💨

@Sweetie44444 Thanks x. Had a complete political breakdown. Any ideas on way forward for Scottish independence welcome.

@PhantomPower14 Nice to see you on here again.

It really is remarkable people in Scotland still believe Westminster, and the English parties who invariably run it, have any interest in our future. From the past few months…

MP Brian ‘Vote Labour to Save Grangemouth’ Leishman isn’t asked a single question on his failure to save the refinery. ⁦@BBCScotlandNews⁩ #bbcbias

Lest we forget .

Hey @BBCNews if you don't want your newsreaders to correct your propaganda, don't put propaganda in the autocue for them to read out.

Rachel Reeves explicitly ruled out Electric Vehicle road pricing during Treasury Committee. Now Reeves is expected to charge EV drivers 3p per mile. #Labour

Alex Salmond has been denied his rightful place in history archive.is/2025.11.02-185…

I think we can fairly say that we've reached peak Orwell: the Nobel "Peace" Prize winner is literally calling for war against her own country, saying this will "save lives". "War is peace", we're there.

‘The UK Government has made a conscious political choice to do industrial damage to Aberdeen’ Donna Hutchison, CEO Aberdeen Cyrenians, demolishes Labour’s Paul Sweeney.

“Let’s ban new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea but pay Norway £40 billion to import oil and gas from the North Sea. Let’s plaster solar panels on thousands of acres of farmland but have sun dimming experiments in a country that has the fifth least sun hours on the planet.”

@StephenFlynnSNP What exactly are you doing about it?

Impossible to overstate the impact this news will be having on workers and their families here in Aberdeen. Uncertainty and job losses have plagued us since the Labour Government came to power. Workers, their families and our communities deserve better.
