Another Scots history moment. The request 4 a section 30 was passed NOT just by SNP but Greens too. Democracy is the theme in Scotland & Wales. No is the theme at WM aided by the BBC’s sub optimal news coverage. Time is a train & it left the Union many moons ago. #time4scotland

We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants.
But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.

I remember when the U.S. was attacked on 9/11 and Europe came to its aid. Not that long ago.

Note to the BBC: the power of Scotland and why they deserved more respect than a cringey wave-a-thon on Spoty. Where to start? Second oldest footballing nation in the world. Developed styles of football 150 years ago still pursued today. No Scotland, no passing. Helped spread the joy of football around the world, igniting the passion in Brazil and Argentina. Helped nurture famous English clubs like Aston Villa.
Introduced keepie-uppie to Wembley. Gave the game the wonderful Baxter, Law, Johnstone, McGrain, Bremner, Dalglish, Hansen, Souness and more recently Robertson and McTominay. Gave the game managers of the calibre and vision of Shankly, Busby, Stein and Ferguson.
Brought the refreshing and well-refreshed mobile party of the Tartan Army to tournaments, fans who raise spirits and raise funds for charities wherever they go. Have an anthem that stirs the blood and the soul. Qualified for the World Cup with a performance of guts and goalscoring glory. Staged their own Puskas award competition against Denmark.
Guided by a modest, proud and quietly inspirational manager in Steve Clarke.
Who should have had the successful, charismatic McTominay on the Spoty shortlist. McTominay deserved more respect from Spoty. So did Scotland.

A research project from the Universities of York, Glasgow and the LSE has found “statistically significant reductions in both child material deprivation and food insecurity relative to England, after the introduction of the Scottish Child Payment.”

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”
Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire 👏

Still buzzing. Still awake. Honestly watched the goals about 800 times. And I’ll watch them 800 more.
What an absolutely glorious day and night for this football club.
To beat one of the old firm in the final as well.
THIS is what it’s all about 😭🖤🤍

The accurate figure for "sending" workers to Turkey is £23k over 3 years. This fact is prominent in the story, which makes the headline and framing unpardonable. This would be misleading in even an entirely partial newspaper. For the BBC it is simply disgraceful.

Hampden Bowling Club is under threat.
With dwindling memberships and a lack of wider funding support, Hampden Bowling Club, which sits on the site of the First Hampden Park, could be wound up as early as February.
Cathkin Park across the road has just been designated a scheduled monument. The current Hampden Park is up for designation surveying in 2026.
Yet, the origin point for football in Scotland and International football as we know it today has been left to go to the wall.
This is nationally important historical site. It is the first touchpoint for understanding how football developed in Scotland.
If the bowling club shuts down, the land will be sold to a developer and the story of First Hampden will amount to nothing more than a plaque on the wall of some modern housing.
That can't be allowed to happen.

Only in Britain would the successive democratic electoral victories of the SNP be deemed not enough of a mandate, and instead it must be “earned” in some other manner so nebulous that not one unionist politician has managed to articulate what that might be for more than a decade.
“You don’t just get a referendum - you have to earn the right to one.”
Lord Offord argues Scotland should prove it can deliver growth and good government before another independence vote.

I've been deeply concerned about some of the misinformation around asylum seekers in Perth. The graphics below address some of the myths that are presented when issues are raised. We must have the debate rooted in facts and basic decency.
