Three weeks ago these two held a press conference entitled 'Secret Scotland' where they threw around baseless allegations, smears and made borderline defamation claims. The media were there and lapped it up. They were all over the news that night. Now they're refusing interviews.

Anas Sarwar says today of Peter Mandelson: “I'm utterly disgusted and furious about the entire situation … He never should have been the ambassador to the US.”

For context, here’s Sarwar in April 2025 love-bombing his ‘old friend’.

Scotch Whisky/Gin is a mess. It's a: not REMOTELY Scottish, secret society!

Crazy Levels of UK Duty make it surprising that ANYONE can make money, many Distilleries, increasingly CAN'T!

We need Scotch to return Duty to Scotland, it's been a British cashcow, for 202 years.

At minus 47 Starmer’s weak position “follows a decline in popularity that is unprecedented for a new prime minister in modern British politics.”

HS2 Westminsters embarrassment!

HS2 railway line began as a project in 2009 expected to cost £33 billion for 345 miles to be completed by 2026.

Now it’s expected to reach £100 billion for 140 miles and 10 years late!

Chart showing the projected change in proportion of children living in relative poverty across the UK. There is clear divergence between Scotland and the rest of the UK, especially England.

Chart showing the projected change in proportion of children living in relative poverty across the UK. There is clear divergence between Scotland and the rest of the UK, especially England.

The Scottish Government has pursued a different social security agenda to the UK as a whole.

Projections suggest that child poverty in Scotland fell between 2022-23 and 2024-25, while it rose in England.

Under current policy assumptions, rates are projected to diverge further.

What cataclysmic event will it take to get Scottish unionists off their knees. A rich, oil-producing country now has no capacity to refine oil. One of the cradles of the industrial revolution is being asset stripped to ensure dependency on England. We must be independent to survive, then thrive.
