Scottish Conservative candidate lists were published today; nobody formally or informally deselected relative to 2021 results, but of the 22 sitting MSPs standing for re-election, the current BBS projection is for a whopping 13 of them to lose their seats, and no new blood to join the group.

New poll shows Scots back independence! Yes 53%, No 47%. Source: More In Common, February 2026, 1017 asked, Donβt Knows Excluded
π¨BREAKING: A new poll shows a majority of Scots back independence!
Westminster has offered nothing but scandals and failure, while Scottish communities have struggled through a cost-of-living crisis caused by Westminster's politicians.
Scotland deserves better.

Labour in chaos
Labour in chaos - Response from Gillian Mackay following Anas Sarwar's press conference.
There is no two ways about it, Keir Starmer has to go.
Despite warnings, he appointed a senior ambassador who was linked to one of the worldβs most prolific abusers of women and girls.
You canβt do that and stay as Prime Minister.

Starting school at 4 or 5 is just weird - 82% of the wrold's countries send their kids to school at 6 and 7. The celebrated Finnish education system is just one of the fascinating facts covered in our chat with Lesley - listen to the full podcast here #finland

For years, Starmer's critics on the left have warned that he was trashing Labour values, kowtowing to the rich and powerful while hurting the poor and the living world.
Every time, people here and elsewhere leapt up to call us "closet Tories" and "Reform enablers".
Funny how they've gone so quiet.

It's completely beyond me how authorities can continue to ignore this fundamental issue, especially given that we KNOW that with climate breakdown floods will only keep getting worse.

Peter Mandelson has sent a secret notice to all UK media demanding they leave him alone. He cited IPSO clauses to attempt to stop scrutiny of his long-standing relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Well done to @scotnational.bsky.social & @lauraewebster.bsky.social for publishing it.

So Team Starmer couldnβt βpossibly have knownβ Mandelson was lying about his relationship with a convicted paedophile. Despite mountains of publicly available evidence.
Yet they spent Β£30,000 on private investigators trying to dig dirt on journalists who asked them troublesome questions? π€

Some oddities in this poll. From YouGov, they are notably the least Reform-favourable pollster at GB level, most recently at 25%. Yet this is currently the most favourable for Reform in Scotland, at 20%. I simply don't believe that: one of those numbers must be wrong, they cannot both be right.

Scotland's first deputy first minister Lord Jim Wallace dies, aged 71
The former Scottish Liberal Democrat leader was undergoing a procedure at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
Very sad news that Jim Wallace, Scotland's inaugural Deputy First Minister, has died suddenly. Not only did he lead his party into government for the first time in decades, but he held down the fort after the death and resignation of the first two First Ministers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
