Forth Ports pulling out of the Rosyth-Europe ferry link deal, effectively scrapping direct sea routes from Scotland to Europe, is heartbreaking. Brexit barriers and red tape continue to sever vital Scottish trade and travel links. Why stay isolated from Europe? 🤔 #FBPE

Amount a pensioner receives in the UK is the lowest in Europe, just 2/3rds of France and barely 50% of Italy who are considered a 'poorer' country.
Why is our pension 'unaffordable' when it is so low, and where is all our money actually going?

The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born.
Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care.
Disgraceful.

Does nobody else find it odd that this poll is weighted based on a democratic event of nearly 12 years ago, yet not weighted based on a demographic event of three weeks ago?
The lack of academic curiosity around poll weighting genuinely puzzles me 🤔

Please get this reposted again and again ad in finitum. Beautifully sums up why "subsidised Scotland" is SO difficult for Westminster to let go whilst they continually brainwash the English electorate that they're doing Scotland a favour! Aided and abetted by a paid for msm.
Everyone know what GB loses when Scotland leaves to become a normal independent country.
The unionists never admit to it.
Until they get caught doing just that.
Please spread.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Still remember the crushing moment as a young researcher when I realised that proving something through evidence had damn near no impact on social policy unless it was politically useful to believe it.

Now, a week of unionist media post mortem about the SNP's failure to win a majority, followed by months/years of how a pro-Indy majority doesn't count even though it's a *far* bigger mandate than the one Labour has to govern the UK. ScotGov now needs plan urgently to press ahead with Indy.

Heard Ponsonby say earlier that the SNP will have won with a bigger share of the vote than the Tories had when they had the EU referendum so if that was considered a mandate for Brexit how come today's result isn't considered a mandate for indyref2.
