The Irish Goverment have announced that they will now formally explore and consult on the prospect of a United Ireland. The UK Goverment can no longer ignore the democratic rights of the respective nations of these Isles. Scotland will also have a say. It’s inevitable.

BREAKING: A new poll found that 94% of Americans feel bad for the troops because Pete Hegseth is making his testosterone and masculinity problems their problem, and Trump might order them to invade Iran because Israel has depraved tapes of him preying on unsupervised teen girls.

WM has scrapped the standing charge on gas, by adding it to the unit price. So who loses and who wins? Those living in colder areas i.e. Northern areas and Scotland are the losers, adding up to 15% to the £400 New Year increase. The South East are again, no surprise, winners.

Tomorrow, the British Prime Minister will host an economic summit in Glasgow alongside the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales.
The DUP’s Emma Little-Pengelly has decided to block both herself and First Minister Michelle O’Neill from attending.
This is reckless and irresponsible. This is a reactive stunt driven by the DUPs own internal pressures and electoral problems.
The public should not pay the price.
It is a missed opportunity to make the case for investment, jobs, a fair budget and nurses’ pay.
Michelle has made clear to the British Secretary of State that locally elected Ministers are best placed to represent local interests.
Our focus remains on delivering for people across every community.

A warning to Donald Trump:
I’m deploying election lawyers to key battleground districts in California to protect every vote.
And I just made it a FELONY to illegally seize ballots.

Englands claim that Scots should stock up on food and water in case of attack just doesn't stand scrutiny.
They want you to be afraid and unwilling to demand your independence.
The truth is however, Scotland is far safer as an independent State than a region of "Greater England".

DON’T FALL FOR THAT OLD YOON TRICK..
By diverting the question of Independence to secondary questions which every other Country faced once they left the “Empire”.
Stick to the ONLY question that matters..
YES or NO.

Before people in Scotland start rejoicing at the removal of standing charges, just remember
1 It's colder in Scotland, and we use more energy
2 The UK is one of the most expensive places for energy
Yet again, Scotland ends up paying more so that England pays less #Independence

BBC writing a royal propaganda piece again. It was Buckingham Palace that declared the visit a 'diplomatic success'. What a load of rubbish. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

Why has the pro-UK Government MSM in Scotland allowed Labour MP Joani Reid's shenanigans to go completely under the radar? Are Scots not supposed to know what's going on, & knowing Paul Hutcheon's+Daily Record 'links' to the Labour Party, why ISN'T their affair all over the news?

Trump is sort of a vampire, sucking adulation at his rallies instead of blood. Hey, that would make a good Steve King story!!!

There’s @BBCScotlandNews Reporting Scotland saying Swinney in ‘tricky position’, ‘uncomfortable’, ‘under fire’ on Rosebank.
Unbelievably, not one word about the damaging UK Government Budget.

Recent reportimg has made it even more blatantly obvious that Trump almost certainly committed a series of sex crimes in the years that he & Epstein were close friends. Trump will probably never be held fully accountable, but on Tuesday American voters can start to make things very uncomfortable for him & the goons that are protecting him.
