Working at the moment on the 1930s, and wondering which of these three Kissinger might have been considered most to fit that category: FDR, Maynard Keynes or Hitler.
@jeremycliffe.bsky.social My money would be on Keynes - and so I think that Trump shouldn't be more than a catalyst for this change.
Escaping the "Devolution Dependency" but remaining in the "Sterling Straitjacket" would make no sense
Excellent article from Neil Wilson. What story is told, matters.
"By ensuring everyone who wants a job has one, we can stop funnelling unearned income to the wealthy and instead build a society where the labour marketβnot financial marketsβstabilises the economy."

Would'nt it be great if we could devise a system where if you favoured staying the union over Independence, Then you would have TO PAY for all the things that Scotland delivers at no cost to it's citizens?
( I don't say they are free as we all know they are provided for by taxation).

'Starmer's landslide victory in July has proven to be the undoing of the Labour Party in Scotland. Labour in Scotland now has nowhere to hide, and its duplicity has been exposed.'

This is the REAL Point.
An Independent Scotland would be one of the Richest Countries in Europe.
We have only 8% of the UK population, Yet a THIRD of all UK Food & Drink Exports, Europe is gagging for our seafood.
Then, there's Water & Energy, Not to mention the black stuff.

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

Yes, you read right. This is the Labour party's office leader in Scotland failing to support the Scottish Government because -get this- it isn't mitigating the impact of his own party's policy from Westminster "fast enough".
He think voters are stupid.

@thesnp.bsky.social needs to start commissioning and publicising its own polls - ones without the bogus 2014 weighting applied.
Borrowing costs are high because thatβs exactly what the Bank of England wants www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... The Bank of England is totally unnecessarily selling Β£100 billion of bonds this year that will not fund the government, inflating interest rates and reducing growth as a result.
One of the fundamentally great things about Scotland regaining independence is that -everyone- gets to contribute to creating something good.

The DR and BBC have reported that Scottish water have dumped raw sewage into rivers. When you actually read the details, this "raw sewage" was in fact rainwater runoff from street drains. Not exactly raw sewage. Complete lies or lies by omission you decide
This makes it even more important for people in Scotland to consider the future when voting in 2026. An SNP government will protect us from the worst of what js to come. #ScottishIndy2026

And they are selling Scotland to corporate interests - like Blackrock - while lying & saying they had no choice.
