I wonder how many people in the Grangemouth area voted Labour so the refinery would be saved?
I wonder if any WASPI women in the Grangemouth area voted Labour to make sure they got their compensation. I wonder how many ...never mind, we all know what happens next.

For me there is only one issue to think about... Independence.

Aye and the total lack of respect from Starmer to Dave Dougan and all Scots in Parliament, " there's so few of you and so far away" .

Another high profile Alba returner perhaps?

Mostly very sad you're standing down Richard. I was very much looking forward to your campaign for re-election.

They said Boris Johnson would never be PM. You reckon we're safe from this one ?

Further revelations from James Kelly. I hope Alba members begin to see that Alba is not helping Independence far from it.

People often criticise the things they are guilty of. Musk is the affront to democracy and free speech.

This is good. Welcome back James. Alba people come back to SNP for a super majority.

This is on Netflix. It won't help you understand why America voted this man their President. But if you haven't seen it yet, I will recommend it.

Schrödinger's Scotland.

Totally unimportant and irrelevant to the United Kingdom while being totally relevant and important for the United Kingdom.

They think SNP is done. They have a big surprise coming then.

Just what we need eh? Another right wing party registered in England.

Has anyone come across these people?

They're somewhere to the far right of Farage and their leader is an ex BNP senior figure. They claim to be leafleting in Scotland.

I lurked in their Telegram group for a while, a very dark place. Their racist policies seem to attract young males in England.

Not seen these , will see what others in my branch know anything. Sad to see the lads involved but probably sons of members. I see their offices are in London.

Sorry , I read through and see Sharleen Spiteri is pro Independence.

I didn't recognise any of those apart from spiteri and Peter Capaldi who is pro independence anyway.
I have two though, rod and ally, both of whom have gone way down in my estimation and don't deserve capital letters or surnames.

We know there are people that will vote Reform, that will buy into their idiotic economic policy.
Its a good question. Why are reform bent on such destructive policy.

That's quite likely.Labour not even in the equation in Moray.

A great big well done to the Speyside and Glenlivet branch!
We helped oust Tories in Moray, replacing DRoss with Graham Leadbitter MP Seamus Logan MP.
We're looking forward to the Holyrood elections and are right behind Richard Lochhead MSP

Is this news designed for English people? R 4 don't seem interested in informing them about HS2. Surprisingly Radio Scot had a more balanced approach.
You seem to really hate Scotland 😕

Re your report on Glen Sannox radio 4 the 1st passenger voyage?I heard your unionist frenzy hatchet mode. How sad that you couldn't tell us anything about facilities,food, crew, loading, weather. But then you wouldn't be scot correspondent for R4 if you did that huh ?

Sarwar trying to make out scot lab are a different party is just more fraudery. If its that different let's see them campaign for independence.
