Scotland will be a normal country. Scotland will do all the things normal countries do Where we are right now is the outlier in the family of countries. Being in a union of 4 countries, where one of the countries totally overwhelms the others is unique

Scotland must defend and protect refugees. They are not the problem in our society.
We must repudiate the far right in Scotland. They're the problem.

NEW: Prestwick Airport is not being used by the US to launch strikes on Iran, the UK Government has said
The purpose of the US aircraft which have landed at the Scottish airport remains unclear, with Prestwick limited to offering refuelling support
Two months until Scotland decides.
Stay stuck in broken Brexit Britain, or choose the fresh start of independence.
That wealthier, fairer future for Scotland is possible. On May 7, vote SNP to make it a reality.

A group of people claiming to patrol the streets at night to keep women safe has hit the headlines after Reform's Scotland leader shared he had joined one of their nightly walks
But who are they? We took a deep dive π
An ALLEGED fraud in the SNP(100s of billions less than PPEVIP,HS2)is top news on WM propoganda conduits BBC,sky,in fact ALL MSM,SNP BAD! AND YET a labour members husband is caught SPYING FOR CHINA,against his govt and us,gave her 2 interest free loans,and SILENCE FROM THEM ALL,where's the blue tents
This is a very good poll for the SNP; with a huge lead on both votes. It also shows further evidence of the stalling of Reform UK who had peaked at around 22%.
A classic story of the Scottish cringe from Scots The Mither Tongue - the moment when James Boswell met the Scotophobe Englishman, Dr Samuel Johnson in London. You can listen to me narrating the whole book on Audible. Itβs a totally cringe free zone!
Surely alleged spying for China is worth a big blue police tent and staying as the top story more than alleged fraud within the SNP?
Btw, these news shows are being pumped into Scotland as well.
The lack of SNP airtime on UK wide mainstream media is usually excused because they're a Scotland only party, but that doesn't negate the issue that it makes our elections here incredibly unbalanced based solely on this media output.
BREAKING: Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid has resigned the Labour Whip after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China.
