#Labour's Rachel #Reeves refuses to speak to Scottish #newspapers during visit to Scotland

Chancellor’s sleekit visit to #whisky #distillery in East #Lothian lasted long enough to take a lengthy tour but simply not long enough for her to spare even a moment for #Scotland’s print #press.

An invite had been sent around to an extremely select few newspapers late on Tuesday night, but it was swiftly rescinded on Wednesday morning.

We need more community ownership in Scotland to prevent McCrone 2.0

McCrone report saw Gavin McCrone reveal 51 years ago how North Sea #oil and #gas could have made #Scotland rich, but it wasn’t revealed by Westminster until 2005.

Scotland’s renewable #energy production share is now one of the highest in Europe in 2025, yet Scots have some of the most expensive power #bills.

‘Doesn’t feel fair’: young Britons struggle with losing right to work in EU since #Brexit

Since the #UK left the #EU, people with only a British passport typically need a work permit to work in the rest of Europe, making hiring them more difficult for an EU employer. “That was my plan, and now it’s been significantly scuppered,” Kinsey said

Reform: Nigel Farage ‘won’t come to Scotland because it’s too dangerous’

Best reason I've seen to live in #Scotland

Nigel Farage will not visit Scotland during the General Election campaign because it is “dangerous”, the chair of Reform UK has said

Richard Tice, who was the nominal leader of the party until Farage officially took the title earlier in June, made the comments as he held a press conference at Grangemouth.

David Cameron vetoes #Rockall fishing agreement between Scotland & Ireland

Despite #Irish & Scottish governments spending 2 years agreeing to the deal – #fisheries are a devolved power – it has been shut down by the Foreign Office

Sources said the reason was entirely political - UK Govt didn't want to be seen agreeing a deal with an #EU nation

The veto is latest example of #Westminster overruling devolved #Scottish government decisions

Independent Scotland could be ‘top of the list’ to join the EU

“It is simply a case with the European Union if you are ready, and there is a political will to take you in, then you join. You don’t have to defer that membership behind any other country that might be in advance of you.”

I think the world will benefit hugely from an independent Scotland. Who without the anchors wrapped round us by this so called union. Will push new innovative means of energy production, social inclusion and infrastructure improvements, but won't be constrained by decades of money infiltration trying to control it. Which is pretty much what Westminster is doing at the moment.

Yesterday at pmq's Sunak said yes of course we will support the steel industry.
Today, a steel company, announces that lack of support and funding may result in 400 jobs going. Also today the civil servants union are going on strike after describing talks with the government as farcical. I'm sure several other unions have used very similar adjectives describing government involvement in meetings. MSM have yet to catch on!
Surprising anyone #indy2

Before Brexit
They need us more than we need them … we hold all the cards …
After Brexit
We knew what we voted for.
Now
Bollocks! Bollocks! & Really?
I do hope we gain independence this coming year, as this abusive relationship is taking its toll.
Happy new year folks.

"We need to put our differences aside and stand with ALBA in this fight for independence"

Nah, transphobic fascist lover party is not a difference I'm prepared to set aside.

Standing on bodies of oppressed demographics because it was *more convenient* to have the support of Bluekip isn't the start to any Indy Scotland I fancy.

"All under one banner"

Not if there's fash under it.

The UK is not a union of equal partners. It is a prison. This has been made abundantly clear by the judgement today #indy2 #scotland

I hate that Scotland is always compared to Quebec. Quebec is a province of the country Canada. Scotland is a country in its own right. It's not just a "province" of Scotland that is seeking the right to self determination, it's the actual country. Country vs province is like comparing apples to oranges. #ScottishIndendence #indy2 #ScotlandUKPrisoner #ScotlandIsAColony #AreYouYesYet #WhyNotScotland

@lbc Well I can see trouble ahead. The decision not to 'allow' Scotland to have a vote on independence will just look like Westminster bullying the wee guy. And Scots don't like being bullied. People sitting on the fence will surely be pushed onto the yes side.
