@iainmacwhirter Implication is SNP bad = independence bad. But... support for indy is so high SNP constantly get elected regardless of their performance in Gov. An independent country would have more choice at elections and be better for it, i.e. real scottish alternatives. That's the real issue

The Scottish Governemnt’s “progressive” tax policies could actually reduce revenues according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Are they having a laugh? thetimes.com/article/890e68…

@ronniecowan You got a link? I don't see anything on the Uni website.

Looking forward to talking at Glasgow Caledonian university this evening. The topic is psychedelics. As we see another increase in drug deaths across the U.K. we need to look at the law and our relationship with drugs.

Imagine if the £22bn was invested instead in a nationwide programme to upgrade housing with insulation & heatpumps - demonstrable, proven emissions reductions - reduced reliance on gas - more jobs, nationwide - lower fuel bills - warmer homes, less pressure on NHS

@nats_tired @gracebrod1e The empirical evidence is actually very strong. The issue is to what extent raising alcohol prices reduces consumption, which is understandably due to so many other variables. But you must ask why so many retailer groups opposed it if it supposedly boosts their profits?

Remember to buy your wines, spirits and beers this weekend before the SNP lunatics raise the prices - again - on Monday. Remember... 1. All the profits go to the retailer 2. No evidence that it reduces consumption 3. It drives addicts to cheaper solutions such as cheap drugs

The throwback of all throwbacks…. Now more than ever we need Scottish Independence. #youyesyet #ScottishIndependenceASAP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

STV News just ran a long package about the anger of parents over South Lanarkshire Council’s decision to curtail its school bus service. Funny that no mention was made of which party runs the council. Needless to say it’s Labour, shored up by their Tory pals! ##UnionistMedia

Still "Better Together"? spectator.co.uk/article/if-onl…

This is an absolutely vital clip that we need to keep sharing. Sarwar and Baillie are two of the most unscrupulous politicians in the Scottish parliament. They exploit the NHS, its patients and staff for political ends.

This clip exposes Anas Sarwar as a charlatan. Share widely please as it is unlikely Scotland's broadcast media will highlight this.

If you don't like the SNP then vote for them so we can get independence. Then for the first time in your life you will be able to choose your own government.

UNCOVERED 💥 🎥 The Tories have finally folded and told us what they have been doing with our director @JolyonMaugham’s data…

Ten years ago and right now. How naive Colonialists fell for the Better Together lies and how things developed thanks to the parasitic union.

President Biden has said that he is considering dropping all charges against Julian Assange after the Australian Government officially requested it. RT if Assange should be set free.

This disingenuous piece of pre-NHS nostalgia reminds me of America now, which is shite for non-billionaires. Describes NHS as worst in developed world. Public satisfaction is now 24%. But was 70% 14 years ago. What changed 14 years ago? telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/3…

The budget is the top story on BBC UK and BBC Wales. There are two budget articles on the BBC Wales news page. It's not mentioned at all on the BBC Scotland news page. Ferries and an NHS smear are the top two stories.

Sunak’s tax rate of less than 23% on income exceeding £2 million was an insult to all working people. I have reworked his bill based on the recommendations in the Taxing Wealth Report 2024 that I have written. He’d pay an additional £761,000 bringing his total to £1,269,000 at an overall rate of 57%. That’s what tax justice looks like.

Complete drivel in this column. No mention of the Tory mismanagement of the pandemic in England, PPE corruption, lack of briefings, lockdown parties. Just look to commentators beyond UK to see an impartial review of our FM. This is just a blatant attack on devolution.
