I've written a wee blog post about the parlous state of #LocalDemocracy in #Scotland. I've also written to the Dear Leader, John #Swinney, in a slightly more diplomatic tone.

Daily Record & Sunday Mail - Scottish News, Sport, Politics and Celeb news [Unofficial] @[email protected] ·Andy Burnham rules out independence referendum until its 'clear' most Scots want one

That would not seem unreasonable, but I suspect the evidence’ required will be one of those waffly, changes every minute things. Just remember ‘The Vow’. I can not see a unionist PM adhering to it when push comes to shove (as it surely will). But maybe a little hope. We do need to work harder to establish a greater consensus though. 52% in favour (last poll I saw is not good enough) - and they will rely on that.

Malta has 68 local government regions;
Luxembourg has 102;
Iceland has 61;Scotland has 32 (and the #SNP wants even fewer).
What the hell *is* wrong with us?
-
If it's the #SNP's view that Scotland would be better served with fewer 'local' government entities, isn't the corollary of that be that Britain would be better served by fewer 'national' government entities?

"By failing Grangemouth and attacking ScotWind, Westminster is turning what should be a high-value industrial revolution into an extracted commodity. Proving once again that the current unionist framework cannot deliver a Just Transition."

It is intriguing that an MSP needs multiple MPs from #Labour Central to be able to stand for leadership, but fossiking around in what is publicly available, MSPs or MS (Wales) are not required the other way around.
Come on MSPs - read the writing on the wall, you (and we) are toast if London gets its chance. Change things unless you want to be London lackeys all your political life (and don't aspire to a place in the HOL)

@RaffKarva @spytfyre Legally, #Holyrood cannot declare #UDI at all. No Unilateral Declaration of Independence in history has ever been legal. It is not a legal action.
That does not mean it cannot be done.
But it will succeed only if it is backed by sufficient popular support that the country would be ungovernable by the colonial power.
-
@christia_allard naturally and of course, the #SNP has not organised any show of public support for this vote, or arranged anything for the television cameras to film. Fortunately, the #YesMovement has.
Supporters of #ScottishIndependence should assemble at #Holyrood between 18:30 and 19:30 this evening, with saltires for #OperationHingAboot2!
-
We all know that #ScottishLabour are much closer to the #SNP on policies than they are to #UKLabour. So would it be a good thing for Scotland if SNP/ScotLab were to agree a coalition deal in which:
1. ScotLab would support the call for #IndyRef2, but would not necessarily campaign for #ScottishIndependence and
2. ScotLab would get the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, with a remit to nationalise Scotland's buses? -
@nusher @Geri Explain what you mean about the LibDems? I think it's more likely that you would find support for #ScottishIndependence among #ScottishLabour than among the #LibDems.

An roghainn as fheàrr do dh'Alba Diardaoin. Ceum air adhart agus slaic do Reform an-seo.
The best choice for Scotland this Thursday. A progressive move and keeps Reform/Trump/ Putin from power here.

There's Martyn Day, #SNP, here, saying we need more members in #Holyrood . But actually, the overwhelming majority of policy is local, and what isn't local, until we win #ScottishIndependence, is mostly reserved to #Westminster. All Holyrood needs to do is reform local government, and then campaign for independence.

Craig Murray: How Britain Can Lose Its UN Veto
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/11/19/craig-murray-how-britain-can-lose-its-un-veto/
The U.S. abuse of its veto power at the U.N. to continue the Gaza genocide has intensified interest in cracking open the structure of the Security Council. Here’s the tool. By Craig Murray CraigMurray.org.uk Scottish Independence is an extremely attractive…

The UK Supreme Court debacle today is yet another reason we should've gone fucking indy. Arseholes.
Thanks to the government (Scottish) for trying to make things fairer though. Please continue to fight for trans rights.
... And maybe ratchet up the indy talk again, eh?

The world has gone full radio rental and Trump continually bleats on about how this and that wouldn't have happened on his watch (thanks sleepy creepy Joe). Who remembers this? The interview used to be on YouTube with no baked text over it and the TikTok this thumbnail was got from has been removed. Somebody must have a copy? Please boost; you'll enjoy it if you watch it. Now it occurs to me the young man himself might have wanted to be forgotten. #yesscotland #scottishindependence #lestweforget

@peterabell.scot I don't think the #SNP *can* launch a 'grassroots #ScottishIndependence campaign'. I don't think that after all their fucking about in the past -- e.g. walking off with the #YesScotland website, unilaterally changing the #Yes logo, and so on -- the movement will any longer trust them to do so. And I definitely don't think the movement SHOULD trust them to do so.
The #SNP is now a parasite on the movement: they have no strategy, just entitlement and ego.

The questions that both Tory and Labour seem unable to answer.
Anas Sarwar, of Labour's Branch Office in North Britain, floundered when asked it by Martin Geissler today. Keep on asking:@BBCNews @SkyNews

The irony won't be lost on most people of a Tory PM calling for national service while he himself is unable to attend a commemoration with other world leaders.
Scotland and Wales can do better.

The truth behind Labour's GB Energy.
Will be a bonanza for private companies that doesn't actually generate its own energy...
Scotland gets shafted again too. Lies from Anas Sarwar.

The Alba Party was referred to as 'Bluekip' by some. With their only MSP voting yesterday with Tory and Labour in favour of bringing down the SNP/ Green government, it's difficult to see how Alba can rise above its current 1% in the polls.

The Tony Blair Institue gives Yes to Scottish Independence a four-point lead.
What to make of this? Blair is not renowened for his probity but presumably his researchers are reporting what they found. Also, hardline a hardline Brit nationalist like Blair is harldy going to trumpet a vote for Scottish self-determination.
More proof that the pro-independence vote is bigger than the SNP's.
