This was my original story on this, revealing Labour insiders would rely on Reform to vote in Anas Sarwar as first Minister if the numbers stack up.

With the amount of shady backroom deals that Labour have done with the Tories in local councils to keep out the SNP- Edinburgh, West Lothian, North Lanarkshire just off the top of my head- this should come as a surprise to nobody.

Labour and the Tories are just two cheeks of the same arse.

We REALLY need Scottish Independence.

In the first 5 years of the Thatcher government, it oversaw 613 manufacturing sites close in Scotland, with a loss of 164,000 jobs.

I think a lot of people have forgotten or just don’t know just how bad that evil witch was for Scotland.

Happy “Maggie’s still burning in hell day” folks.

Scotland subsidises its ferries far more than any other country, subsidises island life far more than any other part and the Mull service is 98% reliable for half empty vehicle decks! Depopulation is one of the biggest population that the Hebrides faces (sic) and not having a functioning ferry service only exacerbates that. You know, To try and live your life where you cannot co…

On day one of a new SNP government, I will demand powers over energy to be transferred to the Scottish Parliament - so we can cut bills, protect jobs and unlock investment.

If Westminster will not bring your bills down, they should get out of the way for a government that will.

Scottish Labour – Not just friends of paedophiles but by far the most actual convicted sex offenders, including 5 paedophiles, convicted since 2007 To be fair, she’s in the top position, though we’ll soon see how long she lasts there and you’ll note they’ve kept the ‘sex offender’ bit small and the ‘pa…

Gaza peace doubts deepen as attention shifts to Iran With the world focused on the Iran war, there is increasing uncertainty about what happens next for Gaza.

The BBC is lying throughout this appalling article. It's not 'fighting', it's murder, and it hasn't stopped, it continues, and it's not a 'ceasefire', it's a re-branding of genocide, and it's not 'Trump's 20-point peace plan' it's Trump's real estate imperialism. FFS! 🇵🇸

Brilliant ocean news!

60,000 oysters are now in the Firth of Forth - double the initial goal! Oysters can stabilise the seabed, store carbon and boost biodiversity. So this is a big win wildlife and ecosystems. 🦪
