The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

So Starmer follows the Johnson play to prorogue parliament to avoid scrutiny over the next few weeks.

Westminster never changes.

It’s time for a fresh start with independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sarwar and Starmer are on borrowed time When Labour came to power in Westminster in 2024, the party promised to put an end to the cronyism, chaos, sleaze, and corruption which characterised the last fourteen years of Conservative rule. H…

My latest blog piece looking at the turmoil in the Labour party, Starmer and Sarwar are both on borrowed time, and deservedly so. Labour's problems were created by its own deceit and hypocrisy.

Man in a suit with arms crossed beside text promoting experienced and hopeful leadership with the SNP party.

If you want to know what a Scottish Labour government would look like, just look at Labour at Westminster.

In serious times, we’ll focus on what matters: the cost of living, our NHS, our economy, and Scotland’s future with independence.

On May 7, make it Both Votes SNP.

Data from Diffley Survation poll (March 26) showing how tactical votes split in a SNP v RUK head to head. It shows:
Greens split 10 to 1 to SNP
UK Labour split 2 to 1 to SNP
Lib Dems split almost 2 to 1 to SNP
Tories split 10 to 1 to Reform
On average this gives +18 to SNP vs + 12 to RUK, SNP gain a net +6

UK Labour's woes look to be benefiting Reform UK as they become the main unionist challenger to the SNP across large swathes of Scotland.

But it will be John Swinney who is quietly ordering the champagne. An SNP v RUK head to head on average sees a 6pt net SNP boost from tactical voting.
